I'll have to wait for later when they update the Rush 24/7 part of the site with the day's news, but shockingly Rush read a media bit about the passing FC this weekend for his morning update today. I'll post a link when it comes up, but i'm sure as Rush has allmost ignored the fandom for all the years he's been around, you'll see all sorts of furry blogs once they get wind of it whining about the "Right-Wing" bias against freedom of expression and sexualty.

Of course that only means it might catch more of his attention...I'd love to hear Rush take some calls from some of the more "Out there" furries who can't keep their month shut when the media reports on a typical fandom thing. Hell maybe EbonLupis or whatever his name in might call!

Comic fucking gold. I must be breaking some rule of the galaxy somewhere as I'm black, lower middle class, right wing, voted for Bush and think the NAACP is a bad running joke over the last 20 years..and furry.

And the thread title is pretty much what you'll see, should furries take notice. They will take this as if Rush went to FC and interviewed and harassed furries themselfs when it was a local CA paper.

Maybe some furry will threaten Rush with a lawsuit too. Then we can have the harsh light of day cast onto the fandom in a way never before dreamed, because while you don't normaly talk about ongoing litagation I guess, a lawsuit from a furry is a joke.

Holey moley. Words are failing me here! Drama ahoy!

Just a word - we are trying to keep the forums a politics-free zone due to the horrific arguments it's started in the past.

And the thread title is pretty much what you'll see, should furries take notice. They will take this as if Rush went to FC and interviewed and harassed furries themselfs when it was a local CA paper.

Amen!

Indeed. This may or may not fall under their radar, but I doubt it. Now this is a little off topic but anyone remember the Furry fandom assult on the Penny-Arcade fourms when Gabe and Tycho dared to do a strip mocking furry? I was a lurker on the fourms and THAT to me proved that furries create people who hate them just by mindless buzzing/angsting/whinging about. After 24 hours of endless furrys joining and screaming "OMG WTF?" there was not a person on the fourm who didn't want to poke fun and drive a truck over the nearest fursuit wearer.

I bring this up, because while Rush doesn't have fourms, he does have a e-mail addy right to him that might fill up quickly with furs..and thus a simple morning update could turn his slight attention to a all out glare. Maybe Micheal Savage will comment on it tonight. That would be more comic gold. Blackberry vs Micheal Savage on LIVE radio. I'd be forced to tape/burn/record it.

Dittoheads Vs. skunkfuckers.

Dammit! Where'd I put that Jiffy-Pop??

If Rush ever decided to make mention about one certain site that involved it's main character diddling his sister, I wonder how that one certain artist would feel about "his hero" denouncing him over the air?

It's up!

From Rush's site..

Guess what, folks? This weekend, 1700 people, all of them animal lovers, are expected to gather at the “furry” convention San Jose, California.

The “furries,” for those who don’t know — and I sincerely hope that that’s most of you — are people who love animals so much that they “take on their identities and sometimes dress up like" their animals. You heard right. These humans take on the identities of the animals they love, and sometimes dress up like them. It allows adults — grown-up human beings — this is a quote: “a place to act out their inter-species fantasies.”

Lee Strom is one of the Furry Convention’s founding fathers. He says, “Just because it’s weird, it’s still perfectly normal to the people involved in it.” He's 36. He wants to be a raccoon! (laughing) The convention will have workshops for the furries; puppetry, costume-making, writing about mythical creatures – and here’s one I think oughta be videotaped -- a workshop on “furry anatomy.” (whispering) Can you find it? Can you find it?

Apparently some furries, uh, aren’t waiting until the convention starts this weekend to act out their "inter-species fantasies." A reporter caught up with Katie Matthew, 20, “prancing through the lobby” of a hotel dressed as a fox. She was prancing with other adults dressed as goats, tigers and other creatures. Katie likes “the fun of dressing up and escaping into her made-up animal character, which she calls Shadow.”

Okay, folks. I have only one question. With a war going on and the tragedy of the tsunami. Isn’t this furry convention too festive and too costly? That’s a real fur-ball for you liberals, eh? Ha! Ha! Shut 'em down! Shut 'em down! It's perverted!

This is on the Rush 24/7 part of the site, so I don't know if this will work or not..

Furcons too costly? Doesn't Rush know all furs are poor... =)
And they can always draw Macro-furs surfing on the Tsunami pics... for charity auctions...
And Godknows what he himself dresses up in his own bedroom.. or republican conventions...
I saw a documentary bout Fox and other Murdoch-media never evar saying bad word about them reps! =)

Furs are poor because so much money goes towards paying Terrie Smith for a new folio of Chester in the same pose he was in about three folios back;)

And if anyone's not getting his jabs at how much the cons cost, it's a backhand jab at all the left-sided people and whatnot screaming bloody murder about the 40 million dollars fully paid with privite money that Bush's bash is costing when there's a war on and so many people bought it when the big wave hit, etc.. It's guess that a lot of furs tend to be in what would be thought of as "Leftist Wacko" area (IE:Animals are more important, animals are smarter then people, Humans the earth's greatest poison..)

Also it may be due that look at the media bit. It writes itself, you have about 1700 wackos at a con. Rush could do a show if he dug a little deeper into some of the things AT said con.

Please note, my explaining is NOT to start a potlical shitstorm, just as a listener of the show, it's for the people who are going "Huh?

That's it? That's all he says? Wow, that's disappointing. I knew, of course, he would think it was perverted and blame it on liberals (Because OMG LIBERALS DESTROY AMERICA AND APPLE PIE WITH YIFF) but I was hoping for one of his full-blown retarded rants.

Too festive because of the Tsunami? Dude, the Tsunami happened at Christmas and I don't think we cancelled Christmas in America. Because, when you get right down to it, Americans don't care how many people got killed in Asia, they really don't. This isn't a distinctly furry thing, it's an American thing. Also, I think Rush suddenly standing up for the Tsunami victims against the evil of furry is rather funny considering he's been one of the more vocal "Let's not give aid to Asia because there's a picture of an Indonesian guy in an Osama Bin Laden T-shirt on the interweb" guys.

Not a big Rush fan, obviously.

He does think it's perverted Meat. It doesn't seem so in print, but he does.

And note, again he has ignored furry for most of the years he's been on the air. It's more a causal thing, but if his intrest is perked, he may very well dive into the subject more.

Still the idea he went near furry is bound to draw some furry ire somewhere and again, should they start attacking him in e-mail like they do EVERYTHING that speaks against furry, it might draw his attention. Lord knows that the net and and a storm of angry furry hatemail could provide him with all the fuel he needs...if he even thinks it intresting enough to cover. Perverts aren't that new, nor are furries.

And again, read my above post for the reason he was "mockingly" asking how a furcon could go on in a time of such pain and suffering.

Yeah, I know he thinks it's perverted, he said so in print there. I meant that I could have predicted that would be his reaction and it was. I would have thought, though, he would use some amusing stronger language, but he doesn't even seem to be good for that anymore.

I saw her there. She had a pretty impressive costume, looked like something out of "Cats." And the newspaper article was in the San Jose Mercury News, which, being a family paper, played down the more lurid aspects of the convention.

Rush isn't such a bad guy, liberals have their Bahgdad bobs too, but regardless, it was a bit sad that this hasn't had more done on it.

Yes, 2(edit: is this how it's written? or does he spell it out?) will respond, but unlike Rush, no one will give a damn.

This, and the last post is pure genius. "Two times Zero is still Zero." It'd be a perfect tagline for his rampant ignorance that he broadcasts.

Rush has unknowingly kicked a powder keg, after the furries blow nobody should worry, this guy is a friggin' nuke. I've disagreed with pretty much everything the man has said, but I understand how big his following is and would just LOVE to see him attack TEH FANDUMB.

Give the furries a chance to flock to their phones and give Rush a piece of their tiny minds about it. Rush and his producers will spot it for the Comedy Goldmine that it is and milk it for every last drop it's got in it.

Lee Strom is one of the Furry Convention’s founding fathers. He says, “Just because it’s weird, it’s still perfectly normal to the people involved in it.”

Just because what Charlie Manson did was weird.. it as still perfectly normal to him.

Not to liken dressing in fursuits to Manson.. just emphasizing how the whole "it's normal to me because I like it" thing doesn't quite hold up.

I concur that Rush is one of the biggest retards out of there. Having lived in his home town for a couple of years, I can see where he gets it. Cape Girardeau is... I dunno.. I think there's something in the water there. That's why I always bought bottled water. I can never listen to the guy for more than two seconds. Even for those few ideas I might agree with, he takes them to such extremes that it's just stupid. He's definitely turning a blind eye to the inauguration when he makes a furry con seem extravagant in the face of the tsunami.

In that respect, it's not even a case of Americans not caring because it didn't happen here. This is AMERICA... we barely even stopped doing or daily thing when catastrophe DID hit us on 9/11. Should we stop what we're doing and go home and sit in the dark every time something bad happens somewhere in the world? There's a difference between not caring and simply realizing that daily life must go on. If Rush is so concerned about who's spending what, where, and why... he's certainly welcome to lead by example and go live in a H.U.D. dwelling and shop at Salvation Army Stores for his clothing and huffing a 99-cent bottle of Testor's silver paint instead of his oxycontin or hydrocodone.

But, hell, I'm all for him giving the furries a razz, especially if he ever takes a surf through VCL or the like. Unfortunately, it would be likely to bring unwanted fire onto the entire fandom, but at least it might help turn a few rocks over and whomp the bugs living under them.... get the furries thinking that, yeah, they are worse than Trekkies... Klingon cleavage included.

Like I once said on AFF, will these furries start taking things seriously when the shows talking about furries go from being on CBS to being on C-SPAN?

Probably not, since they're more likely to go from CBS to Comedy Central to G4 to SpikeTV to FOX affiliates airing Rikki Lake.. then maybe to the adult pay-per-view channels.

Hmm... maybe we need a poster charting the progression of furrydom and borrowing McD's slogan, "I'm lovin' it!"

Furries are Trekkies with rabbit ears.

......ON THEIR PENIS!

Not to discount or downplay the contribution to the fandom by the 'suiters
and pawpeteers; they are on average impressive performers and craftsmen,
often designing and building their own mascot-style costumes--- many of them
ranging up to a thousand dollars in cost to make; this is not a hobby for
shallow pockets--- and performing in them for conventions, parties,
children's hospitals and related charities. One of the best known puppeting
groups regularly performs in a four-hour live webcast show, and also
performs each week for a children's charity known as "give kids the world."

First off.... I have found a word dumber than "yiff"..... "pawpeteers." Not a hobby for shallow pockets? Is he trying to convince Rush there's money to be had in going easy on the furries? Sure.. sure.. they have deep pockets...... deep, empty pockets.. because they spend all of their money on fursuit supplies and furry porn.

And when was the last time you saw your average fursuiter performing in costume at all of these functions the guy mentions?

The fandom does, as you noted, have a fascination with the animal kingdom,
and this is reflected in other charitable work that the various conventions
do, such as holding fundraisers for various wildlife preserves, animal
shelters, pet rescue organizations and the like

With all of this selfless work, when do they find time to wank?

Unfortunately such spastics seem to be part and parcel with any sort of
"fandom" you care to organize. Build it and they shall come, I suppose.
Trust me on this, the freakiest thing you might see at an Anthropomorphic
convention passes as the status quo at your average Anime convention or
ComicCon. If you think not, here are a couple of words for Mr. Snerdley to
google for your next show: "Hentai, Ecchi, yaoi and Bukkake." Cross
reference those with "tentacle" for a **really** entertaining afternoon.

Nice attempt at misdirection here. By the way... what the hell comic cons does this guy go to if they make furry cons look tame?????

And even though there are many people out there who call themselves "furry
fans" who behave in a deplorable and deviant fashion, even though the rest
of the fandom cannot possibly legally control them or be held responsible
for their actions, allow me to apologize for their existence, on behalf of
all the other fans out here who just want to read their "Captain Carrot"
comic books and be left in peace.

I always love it when they go from "HURR HURR HURR... WIL U YIFF W ME @ TEH FOX FARM?" to "My good sir, I am compelled to inform you forthwith that your view on furries is a tad skewed, and it would be my priveledge.. nay.. my duty to inform you if the errors of your mistaken notions."

And please try to have a little empathy. After all, we fans have furry
freaks---- and you have Howard Stern.

OOOOH.. BURRRN... well.. attempt at burn.... er.. actually.. not a burn.

One of the primary differences being furry freaks live in their parents' basement in diapers while normal furry fans live in their parents' basements without diapers.... WHILE HOWARD STERN MAKES A MILLION DOLLARS FOR SIMPLY BREATHING.

Dear Mr. Limbaugh;

GAR GAR GAR GAR GAR

RHJunior
Christian conservative
anthropomorphics fan


This is the same goddamn essay he wrote a year ago. Only a year more wrong and a year more inane. Bad essays, I suppose, age like fine wine, only in the opposite direction. You wonder if he writes to relieve the pain and help convince himself there's nothing really futile about being a 'Christian conservative anthropomorphics fan'?

Anyway. General MUCK reaction is apathetic and Usenet looks upon it with mild humor. Overall, Rush' statements were everything short of inflammatory, and the merely borderline crazy furries probably won't bother.

Hey, ease off on Rush. He's just a big harmless lovable fuzzball, dammit.

I was a bit disappointed there wasn't more to it. In some ways, he didn't even really mention the fandom, if you know what I'm saying.

But I expect that, really. He's a nationaly syndicated political talk show host; that is, he's a grown-up living in a grown-up world with grown-up concerns, and the fandom is manchildish and really tiny and not important in the big picture of things.

Probably not, since they're more likely to go from CBS to Comedy Central to G4 to SpikeTV to FOX affiliates airing Rikki Lake.. then maybe to the adult pay-per-view channels.

Hmm... maybe we need a poster charting the progression of furrydom and borrowing McD's slogan, "I'm lovin' it!"

Or as would be presented in the Japanese version of the ad campaign: "I'm rubbin' it!"

He's commenting that they all claim the weird sex is due to some unknown tiny group of 'furverts', when in reality even the furry who is telling you this likely has tiny toons porn at home.

No, what I'm saying is it's always funny to see furries go from textfucking to attempting to sound erudite whenever they're trying to convince someone that furry doesn't deserve it's bad image.... going from descriptions of giving a horse a handjob to trying to sound like Charles Dickens. I'll give the guy credit for trying to put his best foot forward instead of just going flaming nuts on Rush. But it's just comical to read them trying to structure a sentence like they're some college professor when you know 5 minutes later they'll be waving their dingle in the Purple Nurple.

"It was the best of handjobs.. it was the worst of handjobs.. "

Not pertaining to the arguement on hand; there is a few people I am going to attack on sight without regard to legal consequence - one of whom is Steve "Crocodile Hunter" Irwin (no reason given), the other is the mysterious 'Godwin' of Godwin's law.

How about 'Mouse's Law' where anyone caught citing 'Godwin's Law' gets their testicles concaved with a nine iron. 2nd offence - "Donkey Deathmatch" where you stand directly behind a donkey as I whip its ass with a bull whip - hopefully inciting a skull fracturing , mule-kicking frenzy


nothing personal against anyone...just sayin

You have fantasies about whipping hot donkey ass (ass ass)? Wow, you really are a typical furry, eh.

Anyway, Godwin's Law exists only because there are few people who have killed 6 million jews, and they re far between. Citing other people as 'Nazi' or 'Hitler' therefore makes anybody who knows anything about history a wee bit pissed off.

Godwin's Law exists as a statement of general Usenet culture and the typical flow of threads. It simply states that: a growing thread has a constantly increasing probability that someone will mention Nazis. This off-topic mention of Nazis will generally drive the thread off-topic and kill it. There exists a misconception that Godwin's Law mandates a thread be closed once a participant mentions Nazis, or else you'll go to Internet Jail.

So, what this means in practical terms:
  • If someone brings up Nazis in general conversation when it wasn't necessary or germane without it necessarily being an insult, it's probably about time for the thread to end.
  • If someone brings up Nazis in general conversation when it was vaguely related but is basically being used as an insult, the speaker can be considered to be flaming and not debating.
  • If someone brings up Nazis in any conversation that has been going on too long for one of the parties, it can be used as a fair excuse to end the thread and declare victory for the other side.

QED, baby.

Mismention of Nazism simply proves to me that the speaker has no sense of history outside the years of 1939 to 1945.

As for the making fun of Rush... it's rather pathetic. A slightly higher borw Rush-bash would be a passage from Al Franken's book, not a flash which talks about the size of his ass and photoshops him next to Hitler.

Yeah but its the fact that so many people have it wrong at this point it almost doesn't matter what it was supposed to mean. If I never heard the term again in my life thatd be fine by me. :)

It also demonstrates that in this time and 'net culture of continually growing freedom of speech and expression, the idea that a party has the freedom to disagree with the views of another.. and express those differing views.. isn't exactly alive and well. The law is an inadvertent recognition of the fact that as viewpoints clash, the chance that someone will invoke the name of Hitler or the Nazi party increases as they exercise their recognition of the freedom of expression for all that agree with their viewpoints.

In other words, it usually boils down to, "You don't agree with me and you're saying so. You're a Nazi!" Ironically, the attempts of the person making such claims to stifle the opposition are often more Naziesque than the person that is being accused of Hitlerism.

Al Franken isn't funny. But that animation was, and I'll bet Rush would get a kick out of too.

Now what the hell's wrong with Nazis?

Sonderkommando

In October 1944, the Sonderkommando team at Birkenau learned that the Germans intended to gas them. At the camps, an underground movement had been planning a general uprising for some time, but it never happened. The remaining Sonderkommandos decided to take their fate into their own hands, and, on October 7, the group in charge of the third crematorium at the camp, the Birkenau Three Sonderkommando, rebelled. They attacked the SS with makeshift weapons: stones, axes, hammers, other work tools and homemade grenades. They caught the SS guards by surprise, overpowered them and blew up a crematorium. At this stage they were joined by the Birkenau One Kommando, which also overpowered their guards and broke out of the compound. The revolt ended in failure. There was no mass uprising, and within a short time the Germans succeeded in capturing and killing almost all the escapees.

Honestly guys, I don't know why you're all uptight about this. Rush wasn't really making fun of furries at all, just quoting an article and adding a few parenthetical comments. If you actually listen to the sound clip rather than just read the badly punctuated, rush-job (no pun intended) transcript, you'll get a better idea of what's going on.

It's clear from the tone of voice that he's reading the article as he speaks, and he sounds as if he's never heard of furries before. Really, he does. To me he sounds more intrigued than anything else. And the guy who did the transcript really should have thrown in a "(in a mocking tone)" before the last line. He's not making a statement about furries; he's still mocking the liberals who complained about the inauguration.

So why does he say "perverted," you ask? No idea. But he doesn't sound like he really means it at all.

No one is uptight here at CYD (well most of us aren't). We simply find amusement in such instances. However, I for one can't help but point out that Rush's argument is completely invalid (I took a course in Logic). Even Rush doesn't sound like he's taking himself seriously.

Anyways, welcome Octan. Hope you enjoy your stay in our little sideshow.

That might be one bit of evidence that he's somewhat aware of what furries are, and threw it in there knowing they'd flip out. If that were true, he'd be so cool in my book :P
