Eugh.
So there's this article that New York Magazine has up online about a pervert who is into bestiality. It's revolting in the extreme, and if God knows why you want to go read it it's called "What it's like to Date a Horse". The fact that it's really, really NSFW goes without saying.
One extremely tasteless and morally revolting interview in a leading magazine is not the end of the world. But it is a signpost. It’s not going to make everyone run out and get an animal boyfriend or girlfriend. But it does attempt to weaken an important taboo by giving a sympathetic forum to a deranged man whose behavior deserves the strongest condemnation, and who personally needs help.
Germany and Denmark already have dog brothels, where you can pay money and pick out a dog to fuck and I'll be damned before America sinks into the same moral degeneracy.

I expect that Denmark and Germany probably have 'a' dog brothel each, rather than them being something in anyway commonplace, but for some reason even that didn't phase me - it's like it's the obvious equivalent of the Cat Cafe, but for those people.
Far as moral degeneracy goes, still think I'd pick fucking dogs over shooting up schools and bankrupting cancer victims every time. Even if I had to cancel a delightful afternoon of cake and voles with Miss Pounce.

What. the. Fuck.
Apparently Horse brothels are legal in the states, which they only found out when a guy died, same magazine didn't find any evidence of a public dog brothel in Denmark. Lot of crazy stuff isn't illegal, cannibalism is legal in the UK and most of Europe as generally you'd try the guys under other crimes and no one really wants to be the crazy person campaigning to make laws against these kind of one in a million events. Guess the time they do pop up you'd go for the reverse Jury nullification trick and hope the Judge approves of your legal creep (if that's the term?)
[edit]Oh yeah- careful about clicking on that link, there's nothing graphically terrible behind it but a lot of descriptions that someone innocently reading up on Horse Fucking might not want to have someone to read over their shoulder at work.

Yep! Denmark and Germany both have a problem with this stuff, also (potentially) Norway and Sweden too. But thankfully there's pushback against this sort of crap. Links NSFW.
Should we move this to the "A God Damned fucking thread about Fucking Animals" thread? Dibs not on having that as part of my internet profile...

Sorry, this was just the closest thing there is to a "media" thread on the forums.
In political news, ABC, CBS, and NBC refused to show President Obama's immigration speech. Obama's still got a year left in office. He's not a lame duck yet, but people are treating him like he is which is unproductive.

What in the?
The networks did offer live coverage when President George W. Bush spoke in prime-time about immigration reform in May 2006. The Nielsen company said 41.6 million people watched Bush that night, virtually identical to the audience he received for his State of the Union address a few months earlier.

Oh man this liberal media of ours is just so liberal I just can't even wrap my head around how liberal it is
I'm pretty sure that the Bush (II) administration was much more 'culturally savvy'. Meaning they tended to schedule such announcements for periods when networks weren't going to have to decide to show some popular shows or something.
For example, when he announced that we'd started bombing Afghanistan, he waited until halftime of that Sunday's football games. It does not really change the underlying issue of any potential 'lack of respect', but Thursday night, at the beginning of prime time on the east coast, is about as bad a choice as you can make for any kind of major announcement. Short of declaring war, it's unlikely to be a welcome announcement.

It doesn't fucking matter what you're showing on your fucking station, when the President speaks to the nation, you fucking show it.
Look its easier for the media to just tell us what that horrible democratic president said that wasn't something a republican would do if they don't actually show what he said.
I would like some money because these are artisanal nuggets of wisdom philistine.

Unless they're a Democrat, apparently.
I mean, I would agree. But I also understand why the networks weren't all that interested in co-opting their prime time shows for a speech who's content had already been telegraphed a day beforehand anyway. There's also the fact that the Obama administration hasn't been the friendliest administration to the press, and I have to wonder if part of these decisions were a little bit of "tit for tat." Ultimately though, I think he's an unpopular president right now, and they felt their prime time programming was more important.
Bush wasn't exactly in high praise in 2006 either and yet his speech gets shown. Both sides are bad though.
He's the leader of our fucking country, if he's doing an address to the nation his speech should get shown, we elected the mother fucker if he's talking cut to him talking, this isn't exactly rocket science and his popularity doesn't suddenly make him not in charge.
Preacher on

They had one job. I don't care if they don't like the president put him on - this isn't about business, it's about politics.

I don't really give a shit if Obama had a 10% approval rating. The President of the godamn country speaks to the country, you preempt whatever shitty reality show about awful people fucking each other(over) and show him.
Yeah I can understand how the media groups that have been working to undermine Obama since 2009 continued their efforts last night.
You can be so melodramatic preacher. I'm not making a value call on the decision not to show it. Resorting to hyperbole and outrage doesn't solve anything so you all can climb down off your high horses. At least if we try to discuss why the networks may have chose not to run it, we can have a conversation, rather than just trying to one up each other with rants about how the media is trying to destroy Obama.
Shit, I hate having to invoke Sun Tzu, but "know your enemy" and all that.
And I was critiquing the decision based on how stupid that reasoning is, and how the media has for the entire time Obama has been in office undermined him. Its not Hyperbole to admit the truth, the national masters do not like Obama, they do not like democratic politics, and always want what puts more money in their pockets today, not what can increase profits tomorrow.
You act like "he's unpopular and you know those thursday night shows!" is a valid reason for not showing a speech from the leader of this very country and its a sad commentary on how fucking dumb america has gotten.

Perhaps then consider, knowing all that you've said about your networks, viewing habits and more, he decided to make his speech at that time.
Unpopular with people who already hate him. Immigration reform always polls well amongst people who aren't pre-determined to hate anything a democratic president does.
I can't imagine the president would want his speech not heard because shockingly the GOP will scream about it like they weren't doing that anyway and uhh Obama can't run for president again, so its not like he cares what they think.

Yes god forbid people don't see the big bang theory when it airs and instead watch the leader of their country announce a major policy iniative with regards to immigration.
BAZINGA!

I'd gladly rubberstamp a horse fuckery if it meant social safety nets, equal marriage rights (for humans and any potentially intelligent/sentient future human creations, goddamn conservative slippery slopers) and the federal boot coming in to crush the testicles of the racist states.
So, if you haven't heard, Even The Liberal The New Republic has more or less imploded, thanks to the techie owner trying to pivot to the BuzzFeed model. The editors-in-chief and a large amount of their stable have left the magazine, and have been vocal about exactly why.
Needless to say, this isn't being viewed as a great loss for American political journalism:

It had a great first 60 years, and could have been changed back into a magazine that's more left-wing than left-of-center. But on its 100th anniversary it was destroyed by an egomaniacal rich kid.
