Asking for Donations on Your Blog or Website

Blogging, podcasting, websites… whatever it is on the net… people are doing and posting shit all about themselves. Now, there are people who post useful and informative, even educational information. We are all or should be, thankful to them. But the thing that has been pissing me off lately are the jack offs asking for DONATIONS on their blog or website.

OK a long time ago “affiliate programs” were invented.  Therefore, when you see that Amazon banner on this site for instance… it means we get a small cut if you buy what we’re promoting. Anyone not know this? Oh… I forgot we have fucktards in the world. Many sites/blogs use an affiliate program in effect to support the costs of having a site. You typically find “google ads” or Amazon for that purpose. But of course ads plastered everywhere is annoying, and asking for flipping donations is kind of desperate. It was YOU who made the choice to get a website… not the world because we were just dying to hear from you.

This site used as an example is a website created for OUR own fun. If other people read it then cool. If not, then we still get to rant and bitch about the stupid assholes in the world sucking up all of our air. This makes us feel better and prevents us from causing the bodily harm to fucktards like we daydream about. Ads aren’t plastered everywhere because the goal isn’t to make shitloads of money.

Over the years I am seeing more “Donation” button/links on websites. Which means some dipshit thinks you are dumb enough to donate money to them to support their need to blog or build a website about themselves. Most often they don’t care if they have nothing to say, or even if they are running some sad business. They feel entitled to ask people to give them money by displaying a donation button or link.

Um isn’t that really called PAN HANDLING? I mean, I sure think it is. The worst is when you see it on a commercial site who already is using affiliates to make money or charging for some service they provide. Yet they want your money desperately enough to also BEG for it too.  See, the word DONATION works in a positive way for The Red Cross, Animal Shelters, Agencies for Children, Cancer Foundations etc. There are real and genuine “CAUSES” there though.  Donation, as defined pretty clearly on Wikipedia means… a gift given, typically to a cause or/and for charitable purposes. A donation may take various forms, including cash, services, new or used goods as i.e. clothing, toys, food, vehicles, emergency or humanitarian aid items, and can also relate to medical care needs as i.e. blood or organs for transplant. Charitable gifts of goods or services are also called gifts in kind. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Donation

Your stupid blog or website is not a “cause” and has probably very little “purpose” to the world. The average moron using a blog doesn’t really deserve a donation. If you believe your life mission is to help people and you can find a way to charge them for it then we call the ENTERPRIZE, baby.  But it isn’t a charity…. Though you might be a “charity case”. What I mean is that if you are a business of any sort (not a charity or non-profit agency)  asking for donations then you are pathetic too.

Asking for donations on your website without a genuine “cause” IMO is tacky and classless. If you have a business and your clients want to give you holiday gifts then let them. Let them ask you where to send it or how they can do it. But for Christ’s sake… don’t advertise that you WANT them to do it…..loser. Show some CLASS. Poor and lazy people beg, not people who can earn their own living.

If any morons out there feel that this site has taught them some manners, has made them laugh, or inspired them in some warped way… and you strongly feel the urge to =do something.…. Email us a compliment. Subscribe to the blog. That’s enough. Our “cause” on this fucking site is our OWN self-indulgence…. And it doesn’t need to be financed by anyone other than ourselves.

Do yourself a real favor, don’t give your hard-earned money to the LAZY. Donate it to a real cause instead.

Movie Theater Etiquette

I have a major fucktard rant today. If this too annoys you as it does me – please send this message around, post it on your site (with a link back of course) and spread the fucking love. Maybe we can teach these fucktards a lesson.

I am a huge movie fan. I love specific genres, and going to the movie theater has always been a fun event and experience. My mother took me to see movies at a young age, I was taught how to behave. I went as a teenager with a gaggle of girls and while we were probably a little obnoxious before the film started… we always quieted down once it did.

The last few years my movie-going experiences have been RUINED by fucktards who lack manners and class. I am sick of people sitting close to me and rambling in a normal speaking voice during the entire movie. This has become an occurrence that now happens every single time I go and it is completely disruptive to me, and RUDE as hell.

So last week I was in the theater with my partner. There was a mom in 40’s and her 16-year-old teen daughter behind me. Behind my partner were 3 people – 2 guys and a girl all in their late 20’s. None of them shut up for more than 5 minutes the whole time.

Mom and teen daughter brought their own snacks from home. I had to listen to them unwrap shit in foil. The daughter made a stupid grunt like noise after any witty dialogue in the movie. I heard her chewing in my ear without her god damn mouth closed. I was disgusted and almost threw up in my mouth. They talked the whole time.

I purposely kept turning around to give them the evil eye thinking that might cure them. But of course not. They seemed to believe that they were at home with their feet up and yacking away. Eventually, I gave a hard SHHHHHHHHHHHUSH to them. It helped about 80%. But they still were unable to control the fucktardism in themselves. What truly pissed me off is the fact that the mother was a few years older than me, so I know she had to have some knowledge of manners if I did.

The three stooges behind my partner also continued talking. One of them actually was speaking to the characters on the screen with things like, “well what did you do that for”? or “why didn’t you say something sooner”. I wondered if he knew that people didn’t live in the TV or that there is a difference between your live friends and the ones on a movie screen. I don’t think he did since he was clearly trying to help the movie actors out with his advice.

And now for the fucktards. Let me teach you some manners at the movies.

1. Don’t sit so close to other people if there is room in the theater. Spread out a little because other individuals may not enjoy your bad breath, your body odor, or your retarded commentary.

2. It is ok to talk and be a little social during the previews. But try to keep your voice down, you don’t want to make everyone in the theater dumber by having to listen to you. Turn off your cell phone too dumbass.

3. When the movie starts… stop shuffling in your seat. If you are unwrapping candy or your fucking ham dinner that you bring from home…. try to conceal the noise. And for Christ’s sake shut up. If you must say something to the person or people you are with —- then lean close to them and WHISPER.

4. Treat the movie theater like a Library. Other people are concentrating. If your attention span is so small that you cannot shut up for 90 minutes then please only rent movies at home to save the rest of us.

5. If you hear a woman near you in a theater say very loudly “I am so fucking sick of this bullshit” or “why can’t they shut up” then know…… that it is probably me giving you a warning statement, and that I do have a weapon. No court in the land would convict me either when I testify to your stupidity.

 

Drama Queen

I wrote a rant about one of my staff before. Please read the Fat Ass post to know the dipshit I am dealing with. This woman is a total drama queen, the excuse princess, and her life must be pretty difficult as you will see. She also calls “off” constantly despite the fact that she has the weekends off.

Yesterday the Drama Queen emailed me to let me know that during her days off she was in the hospital for walking pneumonia. She was feeling better she said, and her cough was tons better but she was taking the night off. She said she needed rest because during her 3 days in the hospital that they came in every 20 minutes to take her blood pressure, to take her blood, or to make her do breathing tests. It apparently exhausted her to lay in a bed.

I don’t know what hospital it is but damn they give good care. When I was in the hospital a few years ago in the ICU unit mind you, I had to buzz for the nurses. They weren’t showing up every 20 minutes for the ICU unit. And 3 days hospital stay for walking pneumonia? Whoa, that’s good insurance she has! My 70 yr old father with his heart condition and pacemaker had full blown pneumonia and they only kept him overnight.

So, basically the Drama Queen had 3 days of laying in the hospital doing nothing, and she needed rest from that. Doesn’t her fat ass kid keep her busier in a normal day with all his head injuries? Surely she should need more rest from that reject, right?

Another time she told me she was in the hospital this year (yes apparently she spends a lot of time there between her problems and the fat ass kids) it was for some queer stomach issue that she didn’t name to me. But she did tell me her doctor told her she should have bed rest for a week. I want her insurance, her hospital, and her damn doctor because mine usually just writes me a prescription and tells me to go back to my normal routines.. like my job.

I feel like I run a fucktarded special education class instead of a business.
