Stupid Git #6

An evil-minded twat with far too much time, ill will and energy has taken it upon itself to make a copy of another avatars name, skin and shape and go visiting at the original avatars home and other hangouts.

As the original avatar cbreak is an almost noob I strongly suspect that he himself is only collateral damage and that the maliciousness is first and foremost directed towards his girlfriend in SecondLife, Ms Blanche Argus, who has a rather high profile in the Swedish community.

Both cbreak and Blanche have blogged about their developing friendship and love affair on their blogs. Someone presumably feels they have a reason to be envious of the twos public displays of affection and is in dire need of attention of their own.

Men having issues with their ex-partners choice of a new boyfriends is sadly nothing new, sometimes their jealousy expresses itself in the strangest ways.

The only previous instance I can recall of something like this ever happening was at the height of the Swedish SecondLife drama the summer before last when someone made a copy of PetGirl Bergman and started visiting at her home and at events that she visited.

The best things to do in situations like this are to ban and mute the shitheads, and ask all your friends to do the same.

When they don´t get any further attention they will surely die.

Stupid Git #5

As you may have read here earlier I started building quite late in SecondLife.

Most likely this was a result of being surrounded by many awesome builders and creators in my close SecondLife family, Ars, Guyke, Haakon and Martial were/are all amazing builders. Whatever I needed they could build or create for me and it would look better than if I tried making it myself. 

When I finally felt the urge to start, it was sometime between my second and third years in SecondLife, my efforts were met with great support from the immediate family (especially from Ars). I have heard from others that he was very happy that I had started to build and kept boasting about my builds.

One of my first builds/creations/designs was of course "The Party Hat" which was soon followed by the renowned "The Jesters Hat". The worldwide success of the Jesters Hat among the hardcore fashionistas in-world was the of course the foundation of my own label "BMcM" and the BMcM Corporation.

At about this time I started going to the building and design classes for beginners that were held in SecondSweden by Ironside Carlberg and my dear friend Kay Uggla, after which I started creating the most amazing lines of clothing.

I am sure you all remember my wonderful line of candle-sticks. I think I may have burdened everyones Inventory with these on every possible occasion. (If you have deleted them please do not tell me, because I love to think they are still safe there.)

Moving along, when Ars passed away I lost my inspiration for the longest while. About six weeks ago I started to fiddle with building again. But something was very wrong! I couldn't build/create/design in my usual smooth style and manner. The viewer just wasn't cooperating. Everytime I tried to change a shape of something using the Edit-menu I heard an echoing "Thud" that drove me to the brink of desperation.

I naturally first blamed the viewer and ranted about the poor quality of the Phoenix. I uninstalled it completely - yes in all the folders on my computer - about 15 times, reinstalled it again being careful not to change anything in the build settings to no avail at all. My problems kept reoccurring.

I complained my misery to everyone who had the patience to listen, had my settings gone through about 5 times by the patient Vampi. Nothing helped.

Late yesterday I think I solved the problem when I suddenly realized I was writing in a "dot" in the Edit-menu where the viewer wanted a "comma". The shapes started changing nicely and according to my intentions.

So I now declare to the world that The Much Honored Bock McMillan, laird of Southern Charm, and CEO of the BMcM Corporation is a stupid git!

(...and the last is especially true when I later the same day discovered that I had not really found the problem ... )

Joseph Ratzinger, a.k.a. Pope Benedict XVI, is of course in a completely different league compared to my other choices. 

From his exalted position as the head of the largest church he has the possibility to use the powers granted to him for good, modernization and reconciliation. Instead he seems to be pulling, pushing and whipping his church back several decades or even centuries.

I accept the argument that his work is to preserve the faith as he sees it, but that cannot mean he has to alienate everyone else while doing so.

Ratzinger has enraged the Muslims by calling Islam "evil and inhumane". He has infuriated the Jews and the Europeans by revoking the excommunication of bishops who deny the Holocaust. He has angered the whole world by not allowing his subordinates to report cases of sexual abuse and pedophilia to the civilian authorities or to discipline priests involved in these crimes. 

With all that on his conscience it means little that he cannot accept homosexuality as something natural or gay marriages.

The fact that he has accepted the use of condoms in all sexual relations - not only the sex industry workers - "as a lesser evil than passing HIV onto a partner" is the only good thing he seems to have done so far.

"Norrlänningajävel" (damned Northerner), "Communist", "bear hunter" "parasite" and "dog shit". Those were a few of the things the reporter Thomas Izaias Englund was called when he tried to interview the slumlord Thomas Olsgården about his real estate business in the north of Sweden.

Listen to the interview here.

It´s all in Swedish unfortunately but should be amusing to listen to even if I do not provide a translation. You could also use it as a lesson in how not to treat the press.

I have had the dubious honor of meeting this particular obnoxious person in real life and can report that he seems to go about life acting in just the same way.

Thomas likes to think of himself as a real estate king while he in reality is just a megalomaniac with a totally fucked up self image. His delusions of grandeur are pitifully unfounded. It really doesn´t help him much that he - as he claims -"resides in Malmö, Swedens nicest town, and New York." 

Stupid Git #1

Today I will tell you about my favorite "stupid gits". I will reveal them in no particular order because I really cannot decide which of them is the biggest loser.

Here come the first stupid git of the day.

Tobias Billström
Tobias is 37 years old and a member of the Swedish conservative party. He is - to Sweden´s great misfortune - currently the Minister of Migration.

Tobias also happens to be from my part of Sweden (Scania) and is gay. However none of these beneficial circumstances prevent him from being as big a twat as any full-blooded heterosexual from the northern parts of Sweden. I always thought there was something terribly dysfunctional in his mannerisms and he has now fulfilled my worst suspicions in the most hilarious way.

With the help of papers leaked by WikiLeaks the Swedish newspaper "Svenska Dagbladet" unveiled notes taken by the U.S. ambassador to Sweden Ryan Crocker from a meeting in 2007. Attending the breakfast meeting were, among others, ambassador Crocker, Tobias and the Swedish Foreign Minister Carl Bildt. According to the ambassadors notes the two Swedish ministers made many derisive and derogatory remarks about the Iraqi immigrants in Sweden during their little chitchat. 

When confronted about the leaked notes by the Swedish TV-channel SVT yesterday and asked for his comments and what he had actually said during the meeting, the stupid git Tobias managed to give variations of the same answer no less than seventeen (17) times in three (3) minutes flat.  

His response was: "The Swedish government will not comment in any way what-so-ever on these so called WikiLeaks documents since they are third-party data."

You can see the full interview here SVT Play.

I hope this will be the end of his political career but who knows...He should make an excellent Swedish ambassador. Is the posting in Baghdad free?
