Deeper Down the Hells.

The Shithole is sinking ever deeper into the Hells.

Chicken told me of the good life his colleagues in his concentration camp – if it’s a civilian company I’ll refer it as a gulag – have been living for quite some time now.. Things that would have gotten most private sector-based employees sacked are now the standard operating procedures (SOP) in the military: playing video games during working hours; bringing camera phones to work when it is explicitly prohibited; showing a lack of respect for superiors; pinching petrol from the store for personal use; sowing discord among colleagues; sleeping during office hours; abusing an apparently willing colleague by snapping photos of him in the shower and manhandling him roughly in full view of all in the workplace; an absolute refusal to help struggling colleagues from other concentration camps; and producing slipshod maintenance work.

To think that taxpayers are actually contributing their hard-earned dollars to feed these dregs. The errant U.S. military personnel in Guantanamo Bay were rightly criticized for abusing detainees, but they could at least blame their wrongdoings on work stress and the mentally crippling work environment in which they worked. Chicken’s colleagues can have no such excuses. Their operations officer is a reasonable man who is willing to provide good welfare to his men. Due to the winding down of the camp, the working hours are shortened and maintenance requirements are drastically reduced. From what I heard, they are even given off when there is no work. Despite these benefits, they still complain about the said officer and their petulant attitude is shocking to say the least. I wonder what will happen if the Shithole ever goes to war. Even the French, with their sterling military tradition, would surely applaud us for our efficiency – in losing in record time.

Despite the bullshit spun by the state media, the YOG is set to be an abject failure. Tickets may be ‘selling fast’, but 80% of them were actually bought by the education ministry. Hardly anybody gives a damn about the YOG, as a recent survey shows. Less than 10% of the respondents were actually aware of the YOG and would watch it. The cost of hosting the Games has exceeded 300 million dollars, a shocking overspending from the initial budget of just over 100 million dollars. I don’t even think they are ever going to breakeven. To add to the farce, the Games mascots look like a rip-off from some third-rate Japanese anime. (I am not posting pictures of these abominations here as I respect the sanctity of my site.)

To add fire to Hell, they even got JJ Lin to sing that ‘oh yeah, oh yeah’ song for the YOG! Oh come on! I know that Shitholers aren’t having enough sex, but surely this kind of song belongs more in a lousy Cambodian smut movie than in a sporting event like the YOG, a travesty it may be. JJ Lin sounds like a hyena in heat, and his appearance reminds one of a beggar. If they wanted a theme song, they should just play the sounds of animals mating. Better than the vuvuzelas, which sound like a swarm of angry bees or a herd of elephants farting simultaneously, depending on whom you ask. With the mating sounds, you at least know what you are listening to. Who knows, it might even improve the birthrate, leading to less reliance on the importing foreign *talents*. Talk about being socially responsible!

The YOG’s organizing committee’s arrogance is without bounds as well. Starting an already insipid event on the very same day the English Premiership kicks off is truly daft! What induced these blithering idiots to think that people will tune in to watch the shitty opening ceremony of the YOG instead of watching the EPL previews?!

Lastly, credit has to be given to YOG ambassadors Usain Bolt and Michael Phelps for their decision to snub YOG. Besides for being renowned in their chosen disciplines, they will also surely be recognized for their foresight and dignity. The failure of the YOG will surely highlight the failure of the Shithole as a sports hub.
