Seriously though, I've been coming (increasingly more reluctantly) to Neatorama for about two years or so now and this simply the latest in what seems an increasingly large number of idiotic comments by Neatorama staff which I've both seen and continue to observe.
It's sexist in a way that is so cliche, so tacky, so... hell, I don't know, 1980s as to be completely damning of the editoral staff here at Neatorama.
A "women can't drive/park" joke? WTF? Has this turned into some Andrew Dice Clay tribute site over night? Did we roll back the comedy clock to 1978?
Why would you write that? How does translating this post about a wrecked car into some sort of dated sexist commentary even begin to make sense?
I continue to be dumbfounded by the sheer lack of IQ here at Neatorama exhibited by the editorial staff. This is just the latest, most glaring example.
It's hilarious in hindsight all of the franco-hate that went down in this country from the right in the lie-up to the war in Iraq.
I wish to god our congress had the testicular fortitude to listen to the rest of the world (including France) and opposed this stupid and fraudulent war.
But alas it was easier to poke fun at the French, rename our French fries Freedom fries.
Funny though no of these brown shirt wannabes, who clutch their made-in-china American flags while stroking their plastic statues of liberty, care to admit how incredibly fucking wrong they were.
Looking at the Statue of Liberty and learning its history should be a reminder to all Americans that we don't live in a vacuum, that there are countries beyond our own shores, and that we can as a nation make mistakes and just because the worse sycophants in our society like Bush, Cheney and their cabal of vicious fixers and backroom dealers can't admit their own mistakes doesn't mean that the rest of us shouldn't step up to the plate and take responsibility.
Its striking to me how the values embodied in the Statue of Liberty are the complete antithesis of the Right in this country. Immigration, Liberty, Freedom, International brotherhood, and the multiculturalism embodied by the melting-pot ideology all stand in stark contrast to the close minded fear peddled by talk radio, right wing fascists, and beady eyed pols like Bush who have absolutely no grounding, education, or even inkling of an idea about what democracy is really about.
For these right wingers to co-opt such a shinning symbol of liberty is like Dracula sticking a Jesus-Fish on his casket and wearing a crucifix to bible study.
"I've spent hours upon hours trying to figure out what other super-popular RPGs of the SNES era had that The 7th Saga didn't. What I've come up with time after time is that the 7th Saga has just as good graphics, sound, and gameplay as most of its contemporaries."
Wow... this is surprisingly bad writing. "Hours upon hours?" "Time after time?" "Has just as good?" The author should have spent a less time playing video games and more time studying written English.
"I find it hard to believe that all those pieces fell together just right to make that cell function the way it does. The more complex something is, the more it points to an intellegent designer."
Only that Mitochondrial DNA doesn't serve any purpose in cellular processes and it is theorized to be a four billion year left over from early single-cell evolution.
But forget your cells for a minute. Have you ever had your appendix removed or known someone who has? Why would an intelligent designer create such a malformed organ for which the only apparent function is to occasionally blow up and kill us? And don't even get me started about cetaceans and their hip bones...
If you're going to proselytize at least don't be passive aggressive about it...
Okay. Zionism is racism. Blacks aren't as smart as whites. Arabs smell funny. Mexicans sleep 12 to a room AND smell funny! LOL!
What? I was just poking fun. It was done in good humor! Come on Neatorama! Let the good, sexists, racists, classist, times roll!

Because here at Neatorama women drivers are funny because they are idiots! LOL!
The video is sped up and not even really in sync with the music (even when slowed down.) Lame.

Seriously, how is this neat? It doesn't even look like anything... just some sort of white smudge or reflection.
You guys have a bad habit of posting BS images usually with some sheepish explanation such as, "I don't know if its real or not, but..."
Wow... this is surprisingly bad writing. "Hours upon hours?" "Time after time?" "Has just as good?" The author should have spent a less time playing video games and more time studying written English.
It just shows how completely asinine and tone deaf some of the authors here at Neatorama can be.
What could have been an interesting and historically curious post was sidelined by yayo's amateurish attempt at politicizing the post.
And I'm the guy who has spent the entire thread trying to offer a semi-articulate defense of evolution and science.
Careless posts like this, and the ignorant, overly reactive magical thinkers they enrage make my daily internet fix a lot more stressful.
