Civilization Progress Report: 'Glee' sucks and sometimes that is all the news that is fit to print!

Bring It On was a fine piece of cinema, wasn't it!

Apols for letting civilization collapse on itself last week, y'all. But y'know what? Sometimes you've gotta let your hair down! you've gotta throw caution to the wind! you've gotta shove some Doritos into your damn maw and pass out because you're too tired to cook a balanced dinner! But this week, it's back to business as usual. And what's the lay of the land this week? That Glee absolutely, positively sucks. Like, vacuum-cleaner sucks. Like, sucks worse than the sky when you've accidentally popped open the emergency doors while your plane's at a cruising altitude. It just sucks. (But that shouldn't really be news, should it!) Then there are other things! But here, follow the trail of breadcrumbs into the large gingerbread house and I promise I won't push you into the oven! (Someone else already did...)

• A man who, while being King of America, managed to drive an entire nation into the ground, has somehow released a book. Some people are doing strange things to the book for the sake of "political activism." [The Guardian]

• Glee sucks. [Queerty]

• UHH-MERICAN SPIRIT Several positively mad individuals have somehow taken offense to Google's Veterans' Day logo. [The AtlanticWire]

I'm kind of happy Gawker has waged a war on Andrea Peyser...

... 'cuz - in no uncertain terms - she's an utterly distasteful, hateful, alarmist douche who uses "logic" to completely obfuscate (look it up if you don't know it...it's  a FUN one!) issues and contribute to her reader's ignorance.

This first post is a perfect example:

How to Twist Scientific Studies to Promote Hate by Andrea Peyser

She has it in for the gays for whatever reason and tries to take them to task for their own bullying?!? The Gawker analysis is good in-and-of-itself, but the comments are priceless: 

That pretty much sums up her argument, but the following kind of takes the prize for that post's comment thread: 

The woman is hateful in that she spouts utter idiocy, but is able to couch it in terms that somehow sound reasonable to the ill-informed and easily misled.  Her disingenuous "woman of the people" verbiage and the fact that she has a forum from which to spew it, i.e. - The Post, means she is a woman best described in two words: Danger-ous.

Rather then muzzle her, however, let's follow Gawker's suit and discredit her, instead. In the bigger scheme, a proliferation of hate does not give us call to trample freedom of speech. Let Andrea Peyser and all these ignorant blowhards we hear so much from these days speak, and with their words weave the rope from which they'll hang themselves (specifically, their credibility...not their body!)!
