11:04:2005 Entry: "Ann : Dr. Drew Pinsky, you are a Pinhead."

Dr. Drew Pinsky, you are a Pinhead.

Says the Doctor on an MSNBC news show about the recent violent Pamela Vitale murder, "if your kid is painting his/her fingernails black, it's a sign of opiate addiction."

Bite My Ass, Dr. Drew! I have been painting my fingernails black off and on for well over 20 years since I could first find black in the stores (before then, I made my own black by mixing dark colors), and I have NEVER even tried illegal opiates and have no desire to.

These so-called experts think they know so much in their ivory tower TeeVee Celebrity Spokesdoctor role, but instead, they just sound ignorant. Just because you are "goth" does not make you a disturbed psychotic killer. But because certain "goth" kids (the Vitale murderer and the Columbine killers) ALSO HAPPEN TO BE MURDERERS look different than your average shorthaired potato-faced dime-a-dozen thug killer or your average moustachioed macho murderer, everyone's up in arms about how VIOLENT goths are. But I wonder how many murderers wear moustaches, for example (a very non-goth fashion). I'd bet you'd find there are more moustachioed murderers percentage wise than there are moustachioed people in the general population. Perhaps we should start paying more attention to moustaches. I think moustaches are a much higher indication of a violent personality than any other fashion statement. After all, look at one of the most famous moustached faces in history: Hitler.

I dare you, Dr. Drew Pinhead, I dare you to analyze me, just so your so-called educated conclusion that "those who wear black fingernails all have opiate addictions" can be blown to bits. Come on, analyze me, or if not me, take a random sample of black-wearing high school kids or college kids, or *anyone* (I just thought I'd volunteer my services since as a 44-year old happily married woman I'd like to mess with his statistics). You want to know why the kids who you see who are wearing black nail polish have opiate addictions? Because you're a PSYCHIATRIST! There are probably millions of people out there wearing black nails (probably 'cause it's kinda fashionable right now? Hello? Dr. Drew? Are you that removed from young society? If you are, perhaps you should focus on being an expert on the geriatric set) who are perfectly happy or at least stable and not in need of a two-bit tele-shrink with a license to push drugs. They don't need you, Dr. Drew. Thank goodness. The ones who you see are the ones who are messed up. That's all you know, just those who are screwed in the head. There's a whole world of us out here who are just fine and have no desire to ever use your services. And you will never know about us, or what we are like, because all you know are the emotional nutcases you see.

Now had he said that in irony, it could've been funny. Alas, he was serious.

With most of the 'killer types' blending in and looking like everyone else, maybe they should come up with a 'joe average' look psychological profile. Everyone who looks average would be a deeply disturbed and dangerous person.

Actually everyone I've ever known who I feared might do me harm has been very plain and average looking.

These plain types are very dangerous!

Dr. Drew is very plain looking. Should we fear the Doctor?

Posted by Ann @ 10:25:2005:10:27 PM CST

Yes, and he is corrupting the youth of this nation.

Damn him!

Don't think the goths are especially violent, it's rather oposite. It's just a myth. Like assuming that all teenage girls who are vegetarians are so because they have an eating disorder. Young folks are often stigmatized and very underestimated.

Posted by Nico @ 10:26:2005:07:11 AM CST

You're right, Nico, it is a myth. Think of all the times "the guy next door" has turned out to have bodies in his basement or turned out to be a serial rapist/killer, and the neighbors all say "he was such a nice, quiet man, I never would've guessed..." was that person goth? No, he blended in! People want to demonize goths because they choose to look different and as a psych, Dr. Pinhead should know better because demonizing someone because of the way they look is part of the problem. He is part of the problem.

Once I heard the analogy that today's goths are like yesterday's hippies. It's just an alternative to the uptight, corporate mainstream. In any culture, mainstream or counter-, you are going to get your bad seeds, like Charles Manson and his family was in the hippie culture. Goths are no different. Football players are no different. Math nerds are no different.

Just one more reason to hate the media. Now (once again) it isn't safe to be unconventional and anticonformist.

America wants yuppies. And preps and little snobbies who do the same, dress the same, speak the same.

I read an article (http://www.nationalledger.com/artman/publish/article_27261276.shtml)
that puts down (and links) paganism ("In spite of mankind's advances in the arts and sciences, there remains a large number of people who have not been able to -- or refuse to -- shake-off the practices of pagan rituals, some of which date back thousands of years."), heavy metal and PERVERSE sexual activity all at once with Satanic Cults. MY GOD, you should read the profile of the satanist- it could be any child!

Sorry, I just get so mad at our country and how we can let the media skew everything and make life harder for those who already have it hard.

My daughter, 8 yrs old, is a Goth Bride for Holloween. She's been wearing black nail polish all week.

It's a good thing I homeschool.

"The world of the Satanic cultist is filled with ritualistic violence, perverse sexual activity and abuse, Heavy Metal music and the use of illegal drugs such as marijuana, amphetamines (crank, speed, meth, crystal), psylocybin (an hallucinogenic drug similar to LSD), heroin and other others. This is a world which, even in the beginning of the 21st Century, continues to attract a large number of young people who follow the precepts of Anton LaVey's Satanic Bible, a volume that has millions of copies in print today."

This excerpt, taken from the url above in Dawn's post, can easily be adjusted to read:

"The world of the Fraternity Boy is filled with ritualistic violence, perverse sexual activity and abuse, loud music and the use of illegal drugs such as marijuana, amphetamines (crank, speed, meth, crystal), psylocybin (an hallucinogenic drug similar to LSD), heroin and other others. This is a world which, even in the beginning of the 21st Century, continues to attract a large number of young people who follow the precepts of their Fraternity Brothers before them."

The media, which is becoming the 4th branch of the government, has a mission to keep us living in fear. If we are fearful, we can be manipulated easier. Michael Moore makes a similar point in "Bowling for Columbine."

I've probably written this before, but I'll do it again. There are so many times when I've been watching something on the news about a topic I know about and the news will get the facts wrong. Now, if it does this with such regularity on topics I am familiar with, how often does it do it with topics I do not know the intimate details about? I fear that the media is *constantly* getting facts wrong, either through Brownie-style incompetence, or deliberately just so they can skew and distort the facts to achieve their own agenda.

Since there hasn't been much in the news about terrorists lately, the time is ripe to create a new boogieman, the black nail polish-wearing goth satanist pagan opiate-using teenage killer (yes, all those things!). They are coming to your neighborhood!

Posted by Ann @ 10:26:2005:03:47 PM CST

The government doesn't want us to think about terrorists and Iraq. In October's issue of Playboy, George Carlin says, in an interview, that the"Republican Machine" wants people distracted- "anything to take their mind off of what's being done to them, that they're being bent over and reamed up the @sshole every day of the week."

You'll never hear a politician or reporter speak out like that! He also says the news is so skewed because reporters need access, and those that rock the boat don't get it. I really like Carlin.

Since taking college classes, I feel so- I can't think of the word! But in writing, we are taught to be objective, write about both sides. When was the last time you read an objective article? One that wasn't twisted and inflamed to create an angle- as if we won't be able to flesh out the real story on our own. It is just like Disney changing the Cinderella song to be more modern or making midieval(?) movies with infinite references to current pop culture- assuming that children are only interested in the here and now and what's popular. The media is treating us like children! Spoon feeding us tripe to inflame us, so they can make lots of money.

Know what does that? Do you know what is supposed to do that? "Yellow Journalism!" The national inquirerer and star and all those papers. I learned that in 8th grade Social Studies! All of our journalists and reporters and news anchors are unlearned, uninformed, incompetent *yellow journalists*.

God, I am getting that feeling again. Exposed. Naive. Naked and lost and no longer innocent. Used. Violated. It'll come to me at the most inopportune time, like during acts of perverse sexual activity with my old man.
