None of us cat bloggers are black, so we don't put a lot of stock in superstitions like Friday the 13th. But today, we're seeing a fair number of unlucky folks around. Here are a few who are catching our eye.
Is anyone more behind the eightball than the hapless racist pigs at the University of Oklahoma? One week ago, their lives were intact. One small bus ride (and one amazing lesson in the power of social media) later, they're the objects of scorn and ridicule around the world. We cats can think of no more fitting punishment — except maybe to make them sit through an excruciatingly detailed college course on the history of lynchings in America.
(As for any Freepers who may be screaming about freedom of speech — and believe us, they are — once again, we must remind everybody that the First Amendment prohibits the government from restricting speech. The rest of us have a perfect right to banish fraternity boors from polite society for ever.)
Another unlucky fool this week is Rodner Figueroa, a former Univision TV host who chose to link First Lady Michelle Obama with the cast of "The Planet of the Apes." We just don't understand this subconscious need of non-black people to do crap like this. While we're sure that the Freeps are also fulminating about Figueroa being fired (in fact, we don't even need to look), hey — Univision is a corporation and can do whatever the hell it wants, right? Just ask people like Scott Walker.
Finally, we cats are almost afraid to add this person to the unlucky list, because although we said we weren't superstitious, maybe we are. We sure don't want to jinx what appears to be a noticeable drop by Prime Minister Benjamin "Nutty You Who" in the latest Israeli polls. Ohplease ohplease ohplease ohPLEASE, could he lose next Tuesday? That would so make us cats PURR.
