Kimchi... Good for you?

On 5/21/2006 LA Times reported:

"At the Kimchi Research Institute in Busan, hairless mice fed kimchi were reported to develop fewer wrinkles. With a government grant of $500,000, the institute is developing a special anti-aging kimchi that will be marketed this year. Other new products are anti-cancer and anti-obesity kimchi."
"Last month, scientists at the Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute unveiled a kimchi especially developed for astronauts to prevent them from getting constipated in space."

Look... admittedly I like Kimichi. The pungent, Pickeled, Peppery, Pop-In-Your-Mouth flavor of Kimchi is something I have come to enjoy. But really? A Kimchi Research institute? Anti-Cancer and Anti-aging? Who knew it was this popular... Forget Pork Bellies... I'm investing on Kimchi from now on. Do you think they have it in the NASDAQ?

As for the constipation part... no shite Sherlock!!! You have enough of those and you'll be expressing your feelings to the Toilet Bowl!!!

There you have it folks... after a month of so of no posts, I end my blog in a classiest way possible. Poop jokes.

Remember what I said about Political Correctness?

A friend of mine named Moonie sent me this picture. I've been sitting here trying to figure out a witty remark, but I believe the picture speaks for itself.

A day after the "Historic" walkouts, the event that was supposed to prove to everybody the Immigrants worth, I still am debating whether or not their course of action actually helped or hurt them.

As an immigrant myself, I have mixed feelings about this. On one hand I don't think helping out illegal aliens should be considered a felony, but I still believe that there should be strict reforms to the immigration process. I believe that people have the right to follow the American dream, but I believe that people should not be allowed to come here whenever they want without the permission of the Government.

Yes... this is the land of immigrants, the land of the free... but this is still the land of democracy. If people don't want to follow that then maybe they should follow what Southpark creators, Mat Stone and Trey Parker, once said.

"If you don't like it, then you can get out!"

When Political Correctness attacks!!!

There has been a disturbing trend the last decade or so that bugs me to no end. We as a society started to tip-toe around subject matters because we feel like we might offend someone. Stewardesses were now flight attendants. Metermaids became parking enforcers. They took out the colors "Flesh" and "Indian Red" from Crayon boxes. This is all fine and dandy... but there has to be a line that we should not cross. There has to be an opportunity to be able to say what we mean, and not get looked down upon. I don't know where that line is... but damnit I have to say that not only did someone cross the freaking line, they peed and defecated on it too!!!

"Teachers at several nursery schools in Oxfordshire, England, have been encouraging kids to learn the verse "Baa, baa, black sheep/Have you any wool?" without the word "black," but in its place a variety of emotions (e.g., "Baa, baa, sad sheep") or colors (including "Baa, baa, rainbow sheep") because they believe that kids with black skin might feel disrespected."

Come on now people!!! What's next?
