The Seal of Approval

Approved.

In honor of the 2014 re-opening of MetalThug.com, I have decided to release the Metal Thug Seal of Approval. Look for it in the future to accompany articles, recent news headlines, and pictures here on metalthug.com. Remember, if the masses approve, you probably should too - Since you're included. Enjoy.

N K E - It is Christmas, donate to St. Jude Children's Hospital

Saving kids. Nothing more charitable than that.

What time is it? Metal Thug readers, it is christmas time - So, I figured I would alert everyone to one of the most popular charities around - St. Jude. 

Seeing as how I am sure you have already been bombarded in just about every retail store you have been in, but still declined to donate even a dollar, I would remind you that a dollar isn't a lot, it is christmas, and if you are going to do some good it might as well be for kids. Kids after all, may be the only truly innocent people on the planet, and they deserve the chance to grow up and be un-innocent like the rest of us.

Donate to St. Jude. Do it for the kids. Literally.

Fuck the Taliban

Malala Yousufzai

In an act of complete faggotry, earlier this week members of the Taliban decided to chase down a school bus in Swat Valley, Pakistan; in search of a little girl who had committed an egregious sin - authoring a blog, which criticized said Taliban.

After chasing the bus down, the cowards proceeded to ask the little girls inside to identify Malala Yousufzai - and then opened fire, injuring two other girls also in the vehicle, while attempting to kill Malala.

They almost succeed in murdering Malala, as they strike the child in the neck with a bullet. She is rushed to the hospital, and luckily survives after the bullet is removed, though barely.

The Taliban issues the following statement after learning of Malala's survival:

"If she survives, she most certainly won't next time - We will most certainly kill her".

Every time you start to think those drone strikes are immoral, and should be internationally banned, something like this happens and reminds you that a drone strike aimed at these uneducated fucking cave hoppers would be a great fucking idea.

I understand fighting for beliefs, and I understand people have differences. As terrible as it is, war can be necessary. But shooting up a little girl on the way home from school? For writing a blog? Want to know where the line is drawn? 

Right here mother fuckers.

How about this, Taliban - Fuck you. 

Fuck you and your beliefs. Fuck your villages, fuck Osama, fuck the traitors in Afghanistan who betrayed the revolution.

Bunch of faggots with your faggoty prophets and your shitty little caves and RPG's. Faggots.

And I saw that mansion Osama was in. Nice fucking mansion, looked like a shit hole, and he didn't even have a fucking Blu-ray player - Place fucking sucked and I hope they did take a shit on his corpse before pissing on it. Proper burial my ass, fuck him and fuck you and proper burials.

With actions like this, you lose the right to a "proper war" and "proper burials". You should all be impaled and lined up around the city to remind people what happens when you commit these atrocities in the name of your faggot like beliefs.

And those dusty robes are fucking gay, so go fuck yourselves.

No one gives a shit if you don't think women should go to school. You people are fucking morons and you won't ever rule a significant country in this world. Bunch of faggoty religious zealots. 

They should all be hung, every last one of them. Or lined up in front of the firing squad. 

This news deserves a longer write up, and in all likely hood will get one. However, good luck to the child who was shot by these bitch ass mother fuckers. Hope she recovers and writes 1000 more articles calling out these fucking retards.

N K E - Israel & Supporters Disrespect Islam, But Still Get Upset When Anyone Disrespects Israel (N)

Friday, a federal judge ordered the Washington DC Metro to allow a pro-Israel ad to be posted throughout the transit system. Apparently, allow it quick, quicker than a dancing jew even, as these posters and signs have to be up by 5 PM Monday.

A Metro spokesman has said that they will comply with the order (of course), so up the ads will go.

WE'RE ASSHOLES

I am all for free speech, so off the get right I don't see an issue with the Judges decision - And even if I did not agree, as it is the law of the land, I'd imagine that they have the RIGHT to post this type of idiocy. I think more of the blame should be put on the Jewish who support these types of ads, and the American Freedom Defense Initiative. The AFDI in fact fought for these ads to go up. As I mentioned, their fight was basically for the freedom to put up this inflammatory nonsense.

I'm sick and fucking tired of the world getting up in arms when Mel Gibson calls someone a "kike" after getting plastered, but said world then barely shows a pulse of reaction when shit like this is thrown from the other side of the fence. And that is really the point of this article I am writing - Why the double standard? 

Now riddle me this, trash can - Why the fuck is it ok to put up this type of poster, but every time someone says "Hey, Israel should stop occupying Palestine" everyone is labeled anti-semites, or racist Nazi's?

If someone put up a poster saying "END ZIONISM, NUKE ISRAEL" in the middle of New York, there would be so much media outrage you would have to cut the TV off before the star of david shot out of it and hit you in the mouth. Why the outrage for one and not the other? 

If there is anything that is more annoying than a political christian, it is definitely the political jew. I am all for having the state of Israel, but acting like they have some god given divine right to a country is fairly outlandish. Everyone knows what happened - After world war two and the terrible atrocities of the Nazi regime, a bunch of europeans went to the middle east and basically stole land, then created the "state" of Israel. The holocaust was a terrible, terrible event, and I won't ever downplay that. But back to child education for the response here - two wrongs don't make a right. 

Does anyone have a god given right to land? Or is it a god given right to steal land? When do the god given rights end, and who is determining these rights? And who is god giving these rights too? Not the Palestinians, I guess. 

That is really what these posters are about. Defeat Jihad? Did they even bother to read the definition of Jihad?

The ad's are a stupid do-it-because-we-can play, and it is the same thing with putting a mosque in New York on top of the rubble that used to be the twin towers. Its fucking stupid, disrespectful, and everyone knows it is just going to piss other people off. Enough of the double standards. Stop getting mad about the NY mosque, but not about this. 

And yes, I am being anti-Israel in this article. And no matter what you assume, I have no ill will towards any jewish person, just because they believe in that religion, or they were born into it. I'm not anti-semitic just because you think I am "mean" or I say "mean stuff", and you like attacking Muslims as well as anyone who disagrees with Israel's terrible polices. 

The posters should come down, but they won't. Israeli supporters and the hard line Jewish will defend this type of shit, and bring up misrepresented historical facts and all kinds of nonsense. Don't bother to listen to them, do yourself a favor and stay informed, read a book.

At the very least we will still get some gratification from these posters one way or another in the coming weeks. I for one, can't wait to see photos of them after they have been defaced, and I'd assume that is just about guaranteed to happen, likely sooner than later.

Mitt Romney Cares About You

Oh he did it/said it, but if you act like it meant something else,  everything will probably turn out fine.

He cares. He said so after all. 

Though I am sure many of you have already heard, as it was obviously a big-fucking-deal piece of recent news, let's start at the beginning of Romney learning to "care" about you (and everyone else, apparently).

Though he now cares, Romney was in fact quoted as saying the following: 

"There are 47% who are with him (Obama), who are dependent on government, who believe that, that they are victims, who believe that government has the responsibility to car for them. Who believe that they are entitled to health care, to food, to housing. It's not my job to worry about these people - I'll never be able to convince them they should take personal responsibility and care for their lives"

This was clearly an alarming dose of reality from a man who has a strong chance at winning the US presidential race - He basically told supporters he didn't give a rats ass about a good chunk of the population. Or maybe you.

(Because they won't vote for him anyways - Meanies).

Shockingly, much as the democrats make excuses for Obama breaking campaign promises, republicans made excuses of this golden egg of a speech excerpt. Others took it a step further, and just agreed with him.

I mean, really. I know the major US political parties are republicans and democrats, with some normal and some crazy people mashed up in between, but whether republican or democrat, can we at least get someone who doesn't openly admit, with vitriol mind you, that he doesn't care about half the population? (And if you read into it, probably more, as this was a good day, and he needs the votes).

Once the news came out (I.E. - he got caught being terrible/stupid), he stood by the comments. No apology. And we all knew he would not apologize anyways, because he told us in his autobiography. In fact that is what HE NAMED his autobiography. Mitt doesn't apologize. He isn't into that shit. Especially if the apology is supposed to be directed at someone who has less money than he does.

He apologizes... I mean he doesn't... I mean... Fuck it.

                                        

But remember. He cares now. Wait, he does?

Apparently.

As mentioned in one of my News for the Masses updates, in an apparent about-face, following the debate victory from the the night before - Romney apologized for saying earlier in the campaign that he didn't give a shit about 47% of the american people. He was, and I quote Mitt himself "completely wrong".

Mitt continued to elaborate:

"I absolutely believe, however, that my life has shown that I care about 100% and that's been demonstrated throughout my life. And this whole campaign is about the 100%. When I become president, it will be helping the 100%."

Well, there you have it, people of the United States. Even though the guy basically lied his ass off, and continues to lie, and get caught in lies, you now have the go ahead to vote him in. I mean, he said it. He cares about 100 fucking percent of people. 100 fucking percent. It gets no higher.

I'm pretty sure no one else on the planet cares about 100 percent of the people. I hate to take things so literally, but I like to take things this literally, if the opposition is going to take things like the 47% comment so un-fucking-literally, and continue to make excuses for this man. You take the low road, I'll get right down there with you - Fuck it.

Another lie in my book, to go on top of the other lies. And hey, this asshole even said he would not apologize. He was just playing, though.

And we aren't talking about a broken campaign promise. We are talking about covering his ass on a statement saying 47% of the people he is going to lead are worthless to him. Or something. I guess because they won't vote for him? Or maybe, you know what - Let's all be honest. Maybe he just doesn't really like the middle class and below. Maybe he does really think all poor people are pathetic.

Big deal?

Well maybe not. If you hate Obama, are die-hard republican, or really dislike paying taxes (but like roads and schools of course) you were going to vote for him in any case. If he said something this fucking stupid - Or if he didn't. Just like before the debate - Nothing has changed. 

We all know it's impossible to truly care for 100 percent of the people, but you know what, I'm taking it to literal. Wait though - Mitt isn't. He does care. He told you so. And if you're dumb, you might believe him.

Ronda Rousey - Too Sexy, Damn Near Fully Clothed

Photo of Ronda Rousey,  Strikeforce Women's Bantamweight Champion

Let me preface this by saying I really don't care if they don't put the damn photos on the cover, and I am in no way outraged/upset by it, or anything of the like. But my question is, what makes them think it is too sexy, and why do they even think that, or why are they worried about it?

As if this hasn't been covered by thousands of other media outlets over the last few days, I figured I would give a quick take on Ronda Rousey's photo from above, being deemed "too sexy" for the cover of Oxygen Magazine.

No really, any excuse to post the photos here on MetalThug.com would have been good enough for myself.

But com'on - too sexy? I know being politically correct is the proper way to ensure you aren't sued, or labeled a sexist/racist/socialist/insertlabelhere, but really - How the fuck is the above picture too sexy? Furthermore, what the fuck does too sexy even mean?

Too much skin showing, or something like that? Provocative gesturing, maybe?

I don't really get it, and I am not sure what age group Oxygen's magazine targets, but ESPN and their body issue clearly didn't feel the same. Look at the picture above, then compare them to the photos of Rousey for that ESPN publication, as pictured below:

I'm a fan of these photos.

I'd have to say, that the ESPN pictures at the very least, show quite a bit more skin. I'd also have to say, someone else might even find them "more sexy" than the photos shot for the Oxygen cover.

Out of everything ESPN does, I have always particularly liked being able to see star athletes basically naked in the ESPN "Body" issues. I'm a simple man, and hey look - I'll admit it - simple things like a hot-ass naked woman, please me just fine. Rousey as a good example, is beautiful. It also helps, being a supporter of combat sports as I am, that she can break about 99 percent of the human populations arms at any given moment, if she were in a confrontation.

Rousey doing what she does best - Breaking arms. The unfortunate recipient of the broken arm you see above was Meisha Tate. Unsurprisingly, the picture still makes me uncomfortably shift in my seat while squinting, just as the scene did live on TV.

Not sure what else there is to say about the oxygen photos being too sexy for a magazine cover, other than I disagree, and I think it is fucking stupid. Another example of too much political correctness in society. Too sexy indeed.

Well, one thing you can count on - They aren't too sexy for MetalThug.com, this low rent parking lot of a website. But you know what, I like that environment, I like it just fucking dandy, and as a matter of fact - I'll probably find somewhere on the site to put them - permanently. 

Good luck to Rousey on her next fight, and congratulations to her, on becoming the face of women's MMA. Everyone else enjoy the photos, fights and armbars.

Jimmy Hoffa - FBI Thinks They Found Him (Again).

Hoffa - Saying "Hello" to Robert Kennedy

37 years after the "mysterious" disappearance of Jimmy Hoffa, a new lead has appeared. Apparently, some guy called the FBI and proceeded to tell them that some dead body was buried at some house; located in Michigan - During the same timeframe that Hoffa pulled his great disappearing act. 

Thanks for the amazing, in-depth information, informant A.


The FBI, during preliminary testing, has found anomalies under a concrete slab beneath the house, or driveway, (details are sketchy - surprise) and they have made plans to drill - to look for, well what else, a dead body. 

Not much is known about the informant, as I would imagine being anonymous is important in matters like these. However, I find it hard to believe that anyone whom cares enough to kill the informant is still alive today, or still willing to murder over the location Jimmy Hoffa's dead body. It was damn near 40 years ago, after all.

Jimmy Hoffa

Jimmy Hoffa was a friend of the masses, and a champion of organized labor, in particular the trucking industry. Unfortunately, his disappearance gets more attention than his actions and life, which is most likely the true pity here.

Hoffa rose at a time when someone like himself was needed as a leader in the organized labor movement. Though not as powerful these days in any industry, (thanks to not having leaders like Jimmy Hoffa) unions where on the way to - or at their peak during Hoffa's tenure, who lead the Teamsters for a short time but was involved with the labor movement for several years, both before and after his time as boss.

Charismatic, intelligent, but still rough around the edges, Hoffa battled the pretty boys of the 60's & 70's - The Kennedy's. From the 1960's onward, he dealt with endless investigations and hearings as Robert Kennedy seemingly had a personal vendetta against him. Some people have a different stance, but to hell with all the nonsense, it's compatible to JFK's battle with Castro, and I was never much a fan of the Kennedy's to begin with - So I'm good with the vendetta stance.

Eventually, Hoffa was charged with taking money from the union's $300 Pension Fund, found guilty and sentenced to 13 years in prison. He was pardoned by Nixon in 1971, but with conditions; one being that he could not be involved with the organized labor movement until 1980.

Obviously, this caveat caused a bit of trouble, as Hoffa was none too pleased that he would be unable to once again lead the Teamsters organization that he himself had built. To make matters worse, the confidantes that Hoffa had left in power, were not so anxious to give that power up, once he was released from Prison. In fact, they liked the conditions just fine. As it went, they also liked being the boss. 

HIs past dealings with organized crime, and the just mentioned "Ah, shit" situation, all likely played a part in his death.

You may have noticed in the first paragraph, "mysterious" is in quotations. This is because really, everyone already knows why - and what - happened to Jimmy Hoffa. He was murdered, most likely by people he considered at the very least associates, and then either ran through a wood chipper or hacked up with an axe, before being buried in pieces or dropped off in a lake.

A wood chipper. Jimmy Hoffa is not pictured, that is in fact - a tree.

The only mysterious things here are who chopped him up, and finally what location they chose when they dumped his body (what was left of it).

Jimmy Hoffa is the alternate to someone like Robert Kennedy, and should be remembered for how he was able to lead the people from outside of the typical political structure. His ways were not always clean, as shown by his ties to the mob, however he had the best interest of those he lead at the forefront of his thoughts, and his actions show this. He made lives better for those he served - And that is the mark of a good leader.

He should be remembered more for these things, and less for getting hacked up, and most likely murdered by those who were at one time, considered friends or loyal supporters. The middle class needs another man like Jimmy Hoffa.

And how come the FBI can find everyone else, but not Hoffa? Another article, I suppose.

RIP Jimmy Hoffa, a man of the people.

Update - It has been confirmed that said body might be under the driveway, not under the home itself.
