The top entry for ‘Australia’s naughiest home videos’ is really rather fantastic :)

‘Evil’, for me, is an absolute. It belongs to scary religions that need to define things so simply in order to avoid more rational thought. ‘Basically evil, but a good painter and he loved his dog’ doesn’t work for me as a useful description.

I wasn’t quibbling your use, though, Karl. I mean, it’s a shorthand, right? An exaggeration for the sake of simplicity. It’s when it gets used as a conclusive definition, that I have a problem.

Oh yeah, no worries. I agree I think. Although this bit “need to define things so simply in order to avoid more rational thought” befits some of the world’s most villainous people doesn’t it?

I meant the TERM belongs to that group, not evilness itself.

But culturally speaking, Hitler as a joke figure is still deeply engrained into our national conciousness – even though we know he did despicable, unbelievable, disgusting things, the image that pops into my head is a silly, short man, with stupid hair, a Charlie Chaplin moustache and only one bollock. It doesn?t mean I think his actions were silly and trivial, but 70 years of that image is hard to shift.

For example:

All of this is absolutely fascinating and I’ll re-read all of it and click all the links later when I have more time.

Everyone is so full of hate. Never mind AICN, just hang around here for a while… The world is fueled by hatred, rational or not.

Oh just fuck off.

You had to mention the war didn’t you?

[peas_and_corn]

So! It’s all forgotten now, and let’s hear no more about it. So, that’s two egg mayonnaise, a prawn Goebbels, a Hermann Goering, and four Colditz salads

Speaking of nazis…. how’s about Zombie nazis?

Dead Snow- Warning, the clip is rather gorey.

That clip cracked me up… My sense of humor worries me sometimes.
