Politicians Are Serial Killers
Someone has realized that a lot of personality traits are shared between politicians and serial killers. I’ve told you people before, politicians are not normal people. Normal people get are happy doing useful jobs, and it takes weird people to want to be a politicians and want to mess around with how everyone else do their job.
And can’t you think of a number of politicians that society would be better off if they stuck to luring in and killing women instead of messing with all of us through their laws? Of course, Ted Kennedy showed you can do both.
lolbama! Part 16
This week, That One. Next week, terrorists. Submit for either at lolterizt@gmail.com
Meanwhile, pass ’em around, spread the love, and if you make your own, don’t be shy about dropping a link to your pics in the comments. The more, the merrier.
NOTE TO READERS: Hovering your mouse over the picture activates closed captioning for the l33t-speak/txtmsg impaired.

This week’s uncaptioned picture for you to play with:
NOTE: “If I only had a brain” will probably have multiple submissions. You might want to try something else completely, or at least use a more indirect Scarecrow-related caption.
PRODUCTION NOTES:
#1: When creating lolbama! pictures, please caption with either black or white text, as colors like red and yellow tend to blur badly when I compress the images.
#2: Standard image size for these posts is 350px wide by whatever high. If you can have your images 350px wide before you caption them, I won’t end up shrinking your captions into illegibility when I re-size the images.
MAKE YOUR OWN: The free lolbuilder from I Can Has Cheezburger.
STYLE NOTE: Short captions are usually better. Your goal is 10 words or less, with humor value tending to increase exponentially as the number of words approaches 1.
Send your submissions to lolterizt@gmail.com and – if they aren’t obscene (IMAO is a PG-13 site) and don’t suck too terribly bad – I’ll post them for you. Remember to include your name (and blog URL, if applicable) so I know who to thank.
Stab Proof Knives
Britain is now selling stab-proof knives.
Yeah, I know. Your brain is just shouting out the numerous reasons this is completely idiotic. It’s very hard to understand how this idea could pop in someone’s head and actually survive to the product stage before being dismissed as pure stupidity. If your society is contemplating a stab-proof knife, it’s actually a lot more dignified to just roll over and die as a civilization at that point.
Anyway, I’m going to try an enumerate the reasons this is stupid, though I’ll probably miss some.
REASONS THIS IS STUPID
* Someone who is going to stab people isn’t going to buy a stab-proof knife.
* There are so many regular knives available, that getting a regular knife will always be trivial.
* But, if all regular knives are somehow banished through a magic spell, you can just take a stab-proof knife and sharpen a tip against a rock.
* Or sharpen a screwdriver.
* And it’s not like someone is going to stop being a thug because his current implement his hard to stab with.
* Thought maybe he will get so frustrated he’ll just shoot you with his illegally possessed gun.
* Finally, really? A stab-proof knife? Can’t you still cut off your testicles with it since none of you limeys seem to need them?
This is so stupid it makes me want to stab people, which I can easily do even without possession of a knife.
The Iranian Revolution Will Be Tweeted
If you’re wanting to follow what’s happening in Iran, the best way right now is Twitter.
Yeah, I know. A lot of you are saying, “But I think it’s name sounds gay and I’m not secure enough in my masculinity to use it.” Well, let me tell you that I’ve checked, and absolutely no gay people use Twitter. In fact, a way to figure out if someone is gay is to ask him, “Are you Twitter?” If he says no, then there is a about a 50% chance he’s a flaming homosexual.
Anyhoo, if you want to get live updates of what’s going on, you can follow the #IranElection hashtag and should pretty soon find out who the big players are.
Random Thoughts
What do you expect Obama to do for the Iranian protesters? Isn’t his blank stare support enough?
I haven’t spoken out on Iran because I have no qualifications to speak on major issues. Obama’s excuse is the same.
I have to believe that Obama is working on something behind the scenes as it’s hard to believe any administraion could be this wussy. Of course, I’m too young to remember Carter.
