Apology NOT Accepted, Nor Wanted!!

Yesterday, Jayman wrote about a growing trend that is negatively affecting this great nation of ours…

Men crying in public.

And today?

I would like to pontificate on a trend that like public man-sobbing, is further leading to the utter wussification of our once great nation:

Demanding an apology.

Now, I’m not talking about people who are close…people who are friends and/or lovers demanding an apology from one and other.  Noooooooo, not at all.

That type of apology is sometimes necessary, heartfelt, and oft times can avoid a sex embargo being placed on the committer of the alleged transgression by the one feeling erred upon.

No my friends, I am speaking about a person, groups of people, and organizations demanding apologies from people who say something that goes against their ideology, or cause, or campaign.

People and groups demanding apologies from another who didn’t even utter whatever the words were that sent the offended person or group into an apoplectic fit of feigned moral outrage.

It seems to happen with regularity these days.  Hell, I can relate several recent examples from this past month.

Sandra Fluke, the Georgetown law student who testified before a less-than-official Congressional Committee panel, bemoaned the fact that she can’t afford to purchase birth control pills, and that somehow or other they should be made available to her.

Rush Limbaugh jumped all over her like a talk show host revved up on Oxycontin and Viagra, by demanding video of her exploits using tax payer provided birth control and calling her a prostitute.

Cue the feigned moral outrage from women’s groups, the Democrat Party, and even President Obama who checked in with her.  They all demanded an apology from El Rushbo, even though his words weren’t directed at them.

Nope…The same groups who truly loathe Limbaugh and would like to see his impotent, cartoonish ass dead, demanded an apology from a man whom they detest.

Oh limp dick Rush did apologize, but that was only so his advertisers would quit leaving him…it’s not like he meant it.  So what did those groups get out of his apology?

Not a damn thing, other than the fact that the world now knows that those whiny apology seekers are a bunch of overly-sensitive busy-bodies with too much time on their hands.

Grow the fuck up.

On the other side, we have right-winger Sean Hannity demanding apologies from the Left.  Oy Vay!!

That blowhard requests more apologies than any woman I know or have ever known.  Sean not only requests apologies, she demands denouncements!!

Sean Hannity wants every bad word said about a Republican by anyone who at some point may have met President Obama, to be denounced by the President.

When is President Obama going to apologize for what Bill Maher said?  When will the Commander-in-Chief denounce what Robert DeNiro said?  When will Obama apologize and denounce what Rev. Wright has been preaching?

Sean, honey?  Shut the fuck up.

I know it’s not much of a stretch, but Sean sweetie, you are becoming less manly than Greta Van Sustern and Ann Coulter by the second.

Seriously…People demanding apologies from people who've said something that wasn’t directed at them or demanding apologies from people who didn't even speak the “offensive” remark, need to shut the hell up.

It’s really childish…It’s embarrassing...and most importantly…

It diminishes the intent, the impact, and the healing power of an apology truly given from one’s heart.

Cheers!!

Some Open Letters From IWS

A few open letters to some folks who might have been unintentionally offended or upset by some of the things said on the I’m With Stupid podcast, or here on the blog.

Mr. CW McCall,

We here at IWS would like to apologize for the unacceptable and horrendous mangling of the lyrics of “Convoy” by Jayman on the IWS podcast. How can anyone screw up the words to one of the greatest songs of all time? It’s a mystery to us too.

Thinking he was on a roll, and instead of writing out the lyrics in his show notes, Jayman thought he could just wing it. Sometimes he bites off a little more than he can chew. This was probably the most embarrassing moment of his otherwise stellar internet radio career.

Ms. Stacey Dash,

On Sunday, you were named IWS’ Babe of the Week. While we know that this was a tremendous honor for you and you were very flattered, we also know that you were bothered a little bit by it. We understand you were a bit upset by Matt-Man’s apparent focus on your impressive physical assets and ignoring your professional accomplishments.

Well, let us here at IWS assure you Stacey, that Matt-Man, just as everyone else here, is a man of substance. He never meant to appear to be slighting the outstanding acting work you have done over your brilliant and distinguished career. We absolutely know and respect the fact that there is much, much more to you than that truly spectacular ass of yours.

Ms. Anna Kournikova,

Please see the letter above note addressed to Stacey Dash. Simply replace her name with yours, and Matt-Man’s with Jayman’s. While you also have a wonderful ass, Jayman mostly focuses on your legs, so make the appropriate changes where necessary for that too. Also, he has a hair fetish so add a third paragraph dealing with that bit of weirdness.

Mr. Daryl Dragon,

As if screwing up “Convoy” wasn’t enough, for the second time in a little over year, the hosts of the wildly popular and well respected, I’m With Stupid internet radio show attempted to have some fun at your expense. Jayman, again feeling like he was on a roll, brought up the time that he had mistakenly thought you were dead. While funny to us, we do acknowledge that this kind of joking around may not be all that funny to man of your age who has undoubtedly lived a pretty fast and hard Rock ‘n Roll lifestyle. So, for that we apologize. Again.   

Mr. Herman Cain,

It has been pointed out to us that we have, with good reason, been treating your campaign for the GOP nomination for president as a bit of a joke. I mean, one could hardly blame us, especially with your latest claim that you would give “Hail to the Chief” a “fresher sound” and a few of the other loony things you’ve proposed.

But, we would like to apologize for our behavior. We know that you, much like Stacey Dash and Anna Kournikova, well, at least like Stacey, are a person of substance and impressive professional accomplishments. This suddenly became obvious the entire staff of IWS Entertainment when you said “our leaders are stupid.” 

Not only is this a very true statement, it’s the most insightful thing any GOP candidate has said all year. For this, we salute you and apologize for failing to take you, and your campaign, seriously.

And if you’d like to hear all those crazy antics like attempting to sing “Convoy” or a discussion about Daryl Dragon’s wellbeing and Matt-Man and Jayman taking on the haters out there AND hanging out with Dana_Lu, then you can using this handy-dandy BTR player. And I highly recommend you do so. Especially if you’re a hater. We might change your whole outlook on life. (And yes, the show WAS posted yesterday, but this episode was so nice, we thought we would post it twice.)
