		<description>Here is how I interpret this post:&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Godzilla is a symbol of Hiroshima.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Vahl doesn&#039;t really want a nuke anywhere, but is attempting to voice what the majority of Americans want by &quot;Embracing the shark.&quot; The post goes downhill after he completes his countdown. I have no idea how he knows this - but he did predict gas would fall to $2.00/gallon, as well as the crashing of the housing market, so who am I to question him?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&quot;Subjugated ally building great cars in 40 years&quot; could refer to either Japan or Germany, but probably Japan.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It is clear to me that Vahl is saying nuking Tehran to end terrorism is Lazy Man&#039;s Ethics. It&#039;s the easy way out. It&#039;s like a cheat code in a video game. And it&quot;s wrong.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;He is, in a roundabout way, criticizing Truman for nuking Japan as a means to end WWII.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;The Pepsi ad is representative of modern American consumerism, where it our &quot;Patriotic duty&quot; to buy things we don&#039;t need. Pepsi was the foil for his rant. He holds no hatred for Pepsi, as far as I can tell.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;CL jerks = people who use the internet to solicit for sex, i.e. perverts - like the ones that leave comments at R.A.W.&#039;s blog.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I&#039;ve been reading dailyskew since they started in 2001. For me, they were the intellectual answer to 9/11 and the aftermath - the &quot;King Ashcroft&quot; parodies after the Patriot Act passed were brilliant. Too bad that stuff is only available on .pdf now.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;It takes awhile to understand Vahl and Damian, but once you do, it&#039;s worth it.</description>

Truman=Obama. It&#039;s true. It&#039;s true.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;huh???&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;what is that?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Obama is Truman because somebody wants godzilla to go to iran?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;now im getting lost.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#-4 What is a CL-jerk?&lt;br/&gt;and if a CL-jerk wants to see godzilla stomp civilization let the CL-jerks rent it from blockbuster like the regular jerks do.&lt;br/&gt;were not gonna destroy civilization because some special kind of jerks want us to.&lt;br/&gt;were too buzy for all of that.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#-5 &quot;I am merely voicing what you want. Godzilla will keep you comfortable and perverted.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;how is gozilla going to keep me perverted?&lt;br/&gt;how to you know that gamera or mothra wont do a better job of keeping perverts the same?&lt;br/&gt;what if godzilla changes us?&lt;br/&gt;or starts moralizing to the perverts?&lt;br/&gt;then theyll start to feel guilty.&lt;br/&gt;and none of them will post their comments on my blog anymore, and then where would I be?&lt;br/&gt;Id be out of two jobs instead of just one.&lt;br/&gt;no skew, I just cant have that.&lt;br/&gt;No godzilla moralizing to perverts okay?&lt;br/&gt;its too risky.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;and how do YOU know youre voicing what I want?&lt;br/&gt;are you using the vulcan mind meld or the jedi mind trick to glean this information about what everybody wants?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;which is it?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;speak-up O wise one.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#-6 &quot;You won&#039;t be stuck in a hotel Rwanda or hotel Mumbai, hiding in a shower or under your bed as bullets fly by and explosions are heard in the hallway.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I thought we were talking about godzilla or pepsi, and now somehow &quot;Hotel Rwanda&quot; ends up in this rant too.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;like I said, swerving all over the road with this one.&lt;br/&gt;the internet police would have pulled you over about two miles back for this post.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#-7 &quot;I, like Damian, am here to serve you.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I thought &quot;skew&quot; was Damian, or Vahl, wait...&lt;br/&gt;now Im confused...&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;am I on the right blog?&lt;br/&gt;who IS this?&lt;br/&gt;am I dreaming this or am I typing this right now?&lt;br/&gt;right now I just dont know anymore.&lt;br/&gt;what time is it?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#-8 &quot;We know you desire a military budget of one nuke in Tehran.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I dont even know where tehran is, nor do I desire for &#039;one nuke&#039; to be there even if we do have the budget to make it happen.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;Is the nuke for them or are we going to nuke them?&lt;br/&gt;If i dont know what I want for tehran then how do you know what I want for tehran?&lt;br/&gt;how did tehran get mixed up in all of this?&lt;br/&gt;I thought we were talking about pepsi from rwanda for godzillas shark or something, now youre talking about tehran&#039;s military budget?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;what gives?&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I dont care about Tehran&#039;s budget for its military or otherwise.&lt;br/&gt;I know Im uninformed on world events, but I would rather stay uninformed than be misinformed.&lt;br/&gt;no news is good news.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#-9 &quot;We know you want Godzilla, in the worst way possible, to happen in real life.&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;not even close.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;#-10 &quot;You believe in rolling the dice and getting a well-built car in 40 years from a subjugated ally&quot;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;I dont believe that rolling the dice is going to get me a well built car from subjugated ally in 40 years.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;it shouldnt take 40 years just to build a car well anyway, and Id rather subjugate an ally that can build a car faster than that.&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt;in closing:&lt;br/&gt;pepsi&#039;s original slogan was &quot;coke is for dead people.&quot; but they had to change it.</description>
		<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Im having a hard time following this post.<br />I read it twice and I still dont get it.<br />I am not criticizing its point, its just that youre swerving all over the road with this one.</p>
<p>ten points -</p>
<p>#-1 why be mad at pepsi for not taking on the problems of the world?<br />pepsi-co just wants to sell pepsi.</p>
<p>&#8220;You&#8217;re alive! You&#8217;re in the Pepsi generation.&#8221;</p>
<p>not such a bad slogan, kinda vague and general, dead people dont drink pepsi I guess. </p>
<p>I expect no solutions to the world&#8217;s problems from pepsi who just want everybody to drink their soda, and neither should you.<br />pepsi will always just want people to drink pepsi.</p>
<p>If we bash them we also gotta bash coke, mountain dew, sunny delight,snapple, the list goes on and on&#8230;</p>
<p>I dont respect a soft drink that tries to deliver a message on how to solve the worlds problems because that soda is a liar if it does that.</p>
<p>there is no &#8220;soda that cares&#8221; so stop looking and just drink water, its better for you anyway.</p>
<p>I stopped looking for &#8220;the soda that cares&#8221; long ago and so should you and everybody reading this.</p>
<p>#-2 Now you want Godzilla to happen?<br />havent we got enough problems?</p>
<p>what, so the ad for pepsi you saw was the last straw?<br />the pepsi ad was the final thing that set you off?</p>
<p>wow.</p>
<p>you should have turned off the Michael Savage show sooner, now youve become one of them.</p>
<p>#-3 &#8220;Since you, western civilization, have jumped the shark, I am merely following this to it&#8217;s logical conclusion. Truman=Obama. It&#8217;s true. It&#8217;s true.&#8221;</p>
<p>huh???</p>
<p>what is that?</p>
<p>Obama is Truman because somebody wants godzilla to go to iran?</p>
<p>now im getting lost.</p>
<p>#-4 What is a CL-jerk?<br />and if a CL-jerk wants to see godzilla stomp civilization let the CL-jerks rent it from blockbuster like the regular jerks do.<br />were not gonna destroy civilization because some special kind of jerks want us to.<br />were too buzy for all of that.</p>
<p>#-5 &#8220;I am merely voicing what you want. Godzilla will keep you comfortable and perverted.&#8221;</p>
<p>how is gozilla going to keep me perverted?<br />how to you know that gamera or mothra wont do a better job of keeping perverts the same?<br />what if godzilla changes us?<br />or starts moralizing to the perverts?<br />then theyll start to feel guilty.<br />and none of them will post their comments on my blog anymore, and then where would I be?<br />Id be out of two jobs instead of just one.<br />no skew, I just cant have that.<br />No godzilla moralizing to perverts okay?<br />its too risky.</p>
<p>and how do YOU know youre voicing what I want?<br />are you using the vulcan mind meld or the jedi mind trick to glean this information about what everybody wants?</p>
<p>which is it?</p>
<p>speak-up O wise one.</p>
<p>#-6 &#8220;You won&#8217;t be stuck in a hotel Rwanda or hotel Mumbai, hiding in a shower or under your bed as bullets fly by and explosions are heard in the hallway.&#8221;</p>
<p>I thought we were talking about godzilla or pepsi, and now somehow &#8220;Hotel Rwanda&#8221; ends up in this rant too.</p>
<p>like I said, swerving all over the road with this one.<br />the internet police would have pulled you over about two miles back for this post.</p>
<p>#-7 &#8220;I, like Damian, am here to serve you.&#8221;</p>
<p>I thought &#8220;skew&#8221; was Damian, or Vahl, wait&#8230;<br />now Im confused&#8230;</p>
<p>am I on the right blog?<br />who IS this?<br />am I dreaming this or am I typing this right now?<br />right now I just dont know anymore.<br />what time is it?</p>
<p>#-8 &#8220;We know you desire a military budget of one nuke in Tehran.&#8221;</p>
<p>I dont even know where tehran is, nor do I desire for &#8216;one nuke&#8217; to be there even if we do have the budget to make it happen.</p>
<p>Is the nuke for them or are we going to nuke them?<br />If i dont know what I want for tehran then how do you know what I want for tehran?<br />how did tehran get mixed up in all of this?<br />I thought we were talking about pepsi from rwanda for godzillas shark or something, now youre talking about tehran&#8217;s military budget?</p>
<p>what gives?</p>
<p>I dont care about Tehran&#8217;s budget for its military or otherwise.<br />I know Im uninformed on world events, but I would rather stay uninformed than be misinformed.<br />no news is good news.</p>
<p>#-9 &#8220;We know you want Godzilla, in the worst way possible, to happen in real life.&#8221;</p>
<p>not even close.</p>
<p>#-10 &#8220;You believe in rolling the dice and getting a well-built car in 40 years from a subjugated ally&#8221;</p>
<p>I dont believe that rolling the dice is going to get me a well built car from subjugated ally in 40 years.</p>
<p>it shouldnt take 40 years just to build a car well anyway, and Id rather subjugate an ally that can build a car faster than that.</p>
<p>in closing:<br />pepsi&#8217;s original slogan was &#8220;coke is for dead people.&#8221; but they had to change it.</p>
