Angry Minute I’m an American, which means by nature I don’t like Soccer. Its not that the sport isn’t “good” (though it isn’t), it’s that I don’t enjoy it. I enjoy sports like Gridiron (aka American Football) and Pro-Wrestling. Gridiron and Pro-Wrestling keep my interest because there are many breaks and the action is really broken up into turns or segments. Soccer (like Basketball, Hockey, and Rugby) is not really turn or segment based but play until the end of the quarter/half/period/whatever. Atleast with Football I get 15-30sec of action and then a break. See I got that ADHD or ADD but when I was growing up we just called that “being active”. I think many Americans are the same way as we want quick bursts of action and not 45min of gameplay.
So you would think, especially with the World Cup and the USA Soccer Team being all the rage this year, that FIFA and all them Soccer nuts (or is it balls?) would want to try their hardest to attract new fans to their sport. I should be a prime candidate because I have disposable income (to an extent) and I am interested in getting into new trends (I watched a few of the NHL Playoffs this year and found myself enjoying what I was seeing).
But FIFA just keeps dropping the proverbial (and literal) ball.
Exhibit A: 06/18/10 Referee disallows goal by the Americans without an explanation
Exhibit B: 06/27/10 Referee disallows goal by the English even thought the shot clearly crossed the goal line
In Exhibit A we have what seems to be a mis-call. The referee may have been out of position or maybe he needs glasses. Whatever the case FIFA would surly answer why the call was made… right? Well no, FIFA’s head referee just brushes the incident off by saying, “We cannot explain every single decision.” Ummm as referees isn’t it your JOB to explain your decisions? That’s like a cop giving me a ticket for no reason and then when I ask why he just shrugs and goes, “I cannot explain every ticket I write.” WHAT THE FRAK!!!!
In Exhibit B, only 9 days later, we see ANOTHER blown call by ANOTHER referee. This time FIFA President Sepp Blatter apologized. Well good, glad you can see there is a problem here Mr. President. Heck he even apologizes for a THIRD blown call that Mexico suffered against Argentina that got no real press here in the states. So we are up to three big calls that cost teams HUGE wins in this “respected” tournament. Yeah, respected like a Filipino hooker (and those are never respected).
Heck Blatter (hope he’s not full) seems to brush this all off and say they will talk about it later. Well Mr. President later is TOO LATE for you.
You want me to watch your sport, then you need to make me atleast believe the sport is fair. So many blown calls in such a short time shows me that this sport is nothing more then shit piled onto piss. You could have corrected this mistake after the fact but to let such blatant and flagrant errors just stand is such bullshit. You spit in the face of everyone who watches soccer AND you even spit in the faces of those fans that might even be interested in getting into your sport.
You spit in my face, I shit in yours!
Your sport sucks and unless you are a young school aged child there is zero reason to play it. Your “hero” David Beckham is an asshole, your referees are untrained and make horrid calls, and you just expect the world to accept this and keep kicking your balls?? FRAK THAT! I will not be treated like I’m retarded! You made a mistake, and then another, and then ANOTHER and all these mistakes had proof of their misdeeds yet you let them stand and continue on like nothing is happening? Well nothing is happening because you and your sport are dead to me. Soccer is a sissy bitch ass game and I’m calling you ALL out on your bullshit. So go FRAK OFF!
FRAK SOCCER! FRAK SEPP BLATTER! FRAK FIFA! Soccer is a kid’s game, so go play with yourselves and stay off my Television!

Angry Minute Welcome to the 42nd edition of the Anger that is AngryMinute. I’m your host with the most; Masked Dbag #8! And with this being the 42nd AngryMinute you’d think that we would tackle “the meaning of life”. Well I think that to be true as today we ask the question, “Who Pays When People Are Stupid?”
Like everything else in life I was set off by a news report. You see there is this young lady name Abby Sunderland who is only 13, but she has big dreams. She wanted to prove to herself, her family, and her friends that she has what it takes in this world. So how did she try to prove her worth? Well with a sailing mission in the attempt to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world.
Abby failed. The world had to go rescue her a few weeks ago as she was stranded in the Indian Ocean during a storm. It cost over $300,000 to rescue this one girl.
OK so she is rescued and safe. She must feel bad for what has happened, right? Her family must want to make this right and not burden tax payers with this rescue charge, right? Yeah and I got some great beachfront property in The Gulf that isn’t covered with oil that I’d like to sell ya!
Well Abby doesn’t seem to feel too bad. “I think that a lot of people are judging me by the standards they have for their teens and other teens that they know … and thinking ’she’s exactly like them,’” Sunderland told The Associated Press. “They don’t understand that I’ve sailed my whole life and I do know what I’m doing out there.”
Ummm… if you know what you are doing then why did you need rescued? If you didn’t need anyone’s help why were people sent to help you? And to be honest young lady I am judging you because you didn’t do what you said you were going to do, you abused and used tax payer money in your rescue, and now you want to tell ME that I don’t understand and that YOU know what the HELL you are doing?
Damn kids think they know EVERYTHING don’t they?
Well luckily Abby has parents who will raise her right… right? WRONG!
Yeah instead her parents are encouraging her to try again, which is great because parents should support their children in whatever they want to do in life. But they should also raise their children (and themselves) to be able to SUPPORT THEMSELVES!
See this is where I START TO GET PISSED OFF RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW! Marianne Sunderland, the leaky vagina that Abby fell out of, has gone on record to inform the world that she doesn’t think the Sunderland’s should have to pay the $300,000 (and could reach up to $1.1 million) rescue fee. “We’re not wealthy people,” Marianne says as she tries not to point out the facts that she just helped finance Abby’s trip around the world AND has helped finance her son’s successful trip to solo sail around the world.
And to be honest I don’t give two shats what The Sunderland’s do with their free time, but I care what happens to tax payer’s money. Because right now the tax payers are the ones taking the bill, taking it right up the arse!
If I was a sports athlete and I broke my neck who would pay for it? I or my insurance would. If I couldn’t pay and I didn’t have insurance then I would be FRAKED. So my question is WHY didn’t Abby Sunderland have some sort of “Rescue Insurance”? Why should people who don’t go out and try to “conquer the world” be held responsible when failure and rescue occurs to others?
Its not just Abby Sunderland, lots of people try to tame Mother Nature and need help. We hear of adventurers climbing mountains only to get stuck and need to be rescued, and those rescues can be VERY expensive. Shouldn’t those people who need rescued float the bill?
I’m all for helping people in accidents, but when people place themselves in risky situations they should fully know that they should be held responsible for their actions. Letting this 13 year old girl go with a slap on the wrist is sending her the wrong message. It is telling her to go do whatever the FRAK she wants without worry of repercussions. She doesn’t have to care who will come rescue her or how she will pay for it, all she cares about is that someone will come and it will be free of charge.
This situation makes me physically sick. Next time this bitch gets stuck and lost I say let her die. Sorry bout your damn luck but we don’t have time to save every dumb person. What ever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY?!?!?!?! Guess they don’t teach that anymore because neither Abby nor her parents seem to know what that means. Get on a boat, all of you, and sail out into the middle of the ocean and DIE! You are all worthless and are nothing but burdens on this Earth. I pray everyday that karma takes that $300,000 up to $1.1m rescue bill and takes a hot steaming doodoo butter loaf all over your lives. Because you have shat all over the lives of the tax payers. You and your family are worthless leeches and I am done with you. Take your 15 mins and get the FRAK off my soapbox.
Come sail away, come sail away, come sail away from me… BITCH!

Angry Minute What the FRAK is wrong with the world? It must be that I am getting old and bitter because some of this shit makes no sense to me WHAT SO EVER!
Don’t you remember a simple time when people said what they meant? If I told you I was watching MUSIC TELEVISION then you assumed I was watching something/anything about music. But now when you watch MUSIC TELEVISION (aka MTV) you get shitty shit like “The Hills”, “16 & Pregnant”, “Disaster Date”, and “Jersey Shore”. None of this CRAP (and it is crap) has anything to do with MUSIC. So what the FRAK does MTV stand for? Atleast when I was growing up the shows that had nothing to do with Music tried to incorporate Music into their shows in some way (aka Beavis & Butthead).
Hell MTV peeps are such assmasters that they recognized that they wanted to play shit (and it is shit) that wasn’t music, so they made MTV2 with the slogan, “All Music All The Time”. Yeah maybe it should have said, “All Music Just Some Of the Time Because We Want Your Pregnant Teenagers Watching Us 24/7”. WHAT A FRAKING JOKE!
So you can see how PLEASED (aka PISSED OFF) I was when I flipped my TV over to Cartoon Network the other day and noticed something I didn’t expect. You see I turned my TV to Cartoon Network because I wanted to see (I know this will be a shock to all of you) some FRAKIN CARTOONS. Is that soooooo much to ask from a television network NAMED Cartoon Network?
Atleast when SciFi Network changed its format to display non-SciFi shows it changed its name to SyFy; but Cartoon Network has such enormous balls they can claim to be a network about cartoons and then show reality! WHAT THE FRAK IS WRONG WITH THE WORLD?!?!?!
Can I sue for false advertising? I mean if you say you are gonna give me cartoons and then I tune in to see some pre-teen bullshit isn’t that deceptive advertising? Bait and switch? It’s Bull and Shit is what it is!
I feel for Cartoon Network, I mean they started off amazing with shows like “Space Ghost Coast to Coast”, “Dexter’s Laboratory”, “Johnny Bravo”, “Cow and Chicken”, “I Am Weasel”, “The Powerpuff Girls”, “Ed, Edd, & Eddy”, “Courage the Cowardly Dog”, “Samurai Jack”, “Grim and Evil”, “The Grim Adventures of Billy & Mandy”, “Camp Lazlo”, and “My Gym Partner’s A Monkey”. These cartoons are all AWESOME and WERE what Cartoon Network WAS all about.
So now what do we get in place of cartoons? We get “Destroy Build Destroy” which is a preteen Human Wrecking Balls; “Dude, What Would Happen” which is a preteen Mythbusters; “The Outsiders” which is a preteen Ghost Hunters; “Survive This” which is a preteen Survivorman; “BrainRush” which is a preteen Cash Cab. See a pattern? That’s right, Cartoon Network should now be named “PreTeen RipOff Network” because all of this SHIT is shit we already have but now it is smothered in PreTeen BullShit!!!!!! WHAT FRAKIN FUN!!!
Cartoon Network, you are DEAD to me. You have totally alienated everyone other then your PreTeen market. You have jumped the shark and now you are fighting to stay alive because all your content for the past few years has been garbage. Nickelodeon has made a grand comeback and has sooooo many better cartoons then the current Cartoon Network cartoons and Nick doesn’t even specialize in cartoons (just look at Nick greats like “Back at the Barnyard”, “Fanboy & Chum Chum”, “SpongeBob SquarePants”, “The Fairly OddParents”, and “The Penguins of Madagascar” for some amazing examples). Nick doesn’t have to LIE TO ME about what kind of network they are, so FRAK YOU CN AND FRAK YOUR LIES!!!!!!!
So I am DONE with Cartoon Network. You are obviously not a network for anyone over the age of 13. Go play with yourselves because I won’t watch your SHIT! FRAK OFF LIARS!
