Mahinda In TIME

Mahinda and family. Poster at a Kalutara kade


I’ve been watching Mahinda rising in the TIME influential peeps poll with some wonder. Not that at him, but at the people that support him. A lot of Mahinda supporters are asking other people to vote for the man without seeming to understand the description that TIME gives him. They’re basically calling him a dictator who has corrupted Sri Lankan institutions more than any other democratic leader. And people are forwarding that around as a plus.

For reference, past TIME Persons Of The Year (separate thing) have been Hitler, Stalin and, oh, me.

PresiDunce Percy Jilmart Bean was working late these past few days. By now you must be knowing that a majority of those living in Silly Lunket are Idiots…that is why the keep forwarding the TIME poll for most despotic leader in the universe!

It was hilarious when a friend of mine whose dad is some minister forwarded me an email asking me to vote for “our dear leader as the most influential person in the world”. I saw the description and was like OMG!

Apparently you can vote countless times by deleting your cookies or using a different browser eachtime.

Doesn’t the sign pasted on the family portrait seem to say it all? It’s private family deals all the way from now on, no outsiders permitted! :)

Apparently Mahinda has been removed from the poll completely, due to supposedly irregular voting practices (sound familiar ? : ) ). On the other hand, MR supporters should not be too disappointed, considering some of the people on the list: Justin Bieber, Nicolas Sarkozy, Bruno Mars… thankfully they didn’t include Kim Kardashian! Anyway, as you can see, the “competition” doesn’t exactly leave one breathless…

Good grief! Is that what happened? I was wondering about the subsequent silence regarding the poll.

I, PresiDunce Percy Jilmart Bean, JILMARTDED the Idiots of “Idiot Island.” Then I thought I could JILMART the editors of TIME. But alas…the editors of TIME seem to have more than 3 brain cells in their heads, unlike the Idiots of “Idiot Island.” Oh my GOD! TIME JILMARTED MEEEEE! How dare they!There are only 2 kinds of people in this world! Those idiots who voted for me in TIME…and those who didn’t vote for me in TIME. Aday! GOAT Brother! I want you to install some CCTV cameras in the TIME building! I want all those sob editors permanently rehabilitated! Immediately ship a couple of white vans to Nooo Yuck! I…Me…MYSELF alone completely defeated tourism. Every tourist and his uncle and those women and children and people whom we suspected to be tourists were permanently rehabilitated or sent to “Welfare Holiday Camps” in Wooly Mooly Why Call by my GOAT Brother who was dropped on his head by my mother when he was a baby. My next mission in life is to make “Zero Casualties” of all the editors of TIME! So there!

Ha…ha…ha… Saddam GONE. Praba GONE. Bin Ladan GONE. Gaddafi will be GONE SOON. And the icing on the cake will be when RogerProxy and GOATproxy finally get theirs…

More than Rajapakse, I want to see that commie scum scyophant proxy of his, Goebbelstillake, swallow a pill. These two can then go to hell together, one holding a copy of the UN Report and the other a copy of Mein Kampf .

Ah…Heshan…by Goebbelstillake you meant The Yarn aka Dr.Hoo right! His protege Black & Decker is a funny sycophant as well. I wonder how they both will bad mouth Obama and the US for the killing of Osama? Already I have seen some 3 brain celled Silly Lunkets calling it a war crime…

A rather odd choice of butt-buddies! How they met, one only speculate… most likely it was a late-night rendezvous, Dr. Goebbels, in his Hilton Suite, desperate for gay fun, along came janitor Blacker with the mop and bucket, stuck the mop right in that filthy Marxist crack.

Silly Lankans have difficulty with arithmetic… 40,000 dead and 4 dead look very much alike, just like TAMIL and LTTE. Or PRESIDENT and KING. Or WEST and CONSPIRACY. Or WHITE TOURIST and MONEY. The STANDARDISATION prodigies fare slightly better, seeing that one of them actually made it to Geneva (only to be sacked by the Head Village Mafioso, RajaPussy).

I prefer calling RogerProxy/Rajapussy the “Caretaker” of the Village Idiots. A couple of million around in the country, and quite a few writing in to this forum as well.

Que Sera “The Yarn” (sung to the tune of “Que Sera Sera”)

When “The Yarn” was just a little boy
He asked his mother, what will I be?
Will I be a “UI”, will I be a “Dr.”
Here’s what she said to him.

Que Sera “The Yarn”

Whatever “MR” want’s will be
The future’s not ours, to see
Que Sera “The Yarn”
What “MR” want’s will be.

When “The Yarn” was young, he joined V.Perumal,
And asked V.Perumal what “lies” ahead?
Will we have a separate state, day after day
Here’s what V.Perumal said.

Que Sera “The Yarn”
Whatever “VP” want’s will be
The future’s not ours, to see
Que Sera “The Yarn”
What “VP” want’s will be.

Now “The Yarn” lectures idiots through “groundviews,”
They ask “The Yarn”, what will life be?
Will we be the “ASSchariya Rai of Asia?” Will we be rich?
He tells them tenderly. (Using some “The Yarn” Speak)

Que Sera, paradigm shift…semantics and neo-patrimonialism…
physical persuasion… psychological deterrent…zero casualties…Sera
whatever the “Neo-Patriarch MR” want’s will be,
The future’s “MRs”, to see
Que Sera, paradigm shift…semantics and neo-patrimonialism…
physical persuasion… psychological deterrent…zero casualties…Sera
What “MR” want’s will be.

Ps: UI stands for “Useful Idiots”

http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/documentaries/2010/07/100624_doc_useful_idiots_lenin.shtml

MR & VP stand for “U NO HOO”

Why Does India Suck At The Olympics?

Today on the morning show we talked about the Olympics, namely China’s emerging dominance. For me the bigger question is India. Why does India suck so much? In 2008 the US won 110 medals, China won 100 and India won… 3. India has over a billion people, some economic clout and is by all counts an emerging superpower, but they suck at the Olympics. Why?

New New Kottu

Janith has updated Kottu with rims and shit. Seriously, it looks pretty good. You could say the desktop look is cosmetic, but check out the mobile. Kottu now looks like an app with settings and menus and such. The biggest problem with K2 is me, ie, it now takes me up to a month to respond to emails. OMG I’m scared of my email. But Janith’s done this code and design update all by himself and it looks pretty good. Check it out. There was one bug with the previous page link. Lettuce know if there’s any more.

Miss Travel. Alternately, Mistravel

This is highly dubious. Miss Travel is a travel/social networking site that connects ‘Generous’ and ‘Attractive’ travelers. To, like, travel together, I guess. It all seems a bit like arranged prostitution and trafficking. This is part of a broader online trend to connect rich men to younger, attractive women. Sites like seekingarrangement.com connects women to ‘sugar daddies’ already. I guess Miss Travel is just taking that trend international. Wait, I checked, it’s the same guy doing both.

Buying Appliances Online (Singer)

Sri Lankan domestics never say anything, they just stop coming. My maid just stopped coming and when I finally pressed her she said I needed to get a washing machine. I was hoping to ride this one out, but I’ve run out of underwear and I have no choice. I finally caved and bought a washing machine, from Singer, ONLINE. I put the online in all caps because it’s pretty awesome. I ordered the thing in like 15 minutes on Saturday and they just delivered it today. It’s pretty awesome, this brave new world.
