Oscars, Chris Rock, and Fox News
I didn't watch the Academy Awards last night, but I did catch the opening monologue, since Chris Rock is simply one of the funniest comedians to ever walk the face of Gods now off-green earth. I thought his opening bit about the war between the Gap and the Banana Republic was hilarious.
At around 4AM, I was watching the national Republican news channel, Fox news. I try to watch it at least once a week, just to see the different style of reporting, and to get a different viewpoint. Often times, I do come across valid views from Republicans that make me think, and alter my own liberal standpoints. This was a case, of shock and amazement of the stupidity of two newscasters.
They attacked Chris Rocks opening monologue. Rock first stated he wouldn't make fun of the President, then went into his fictional war between the Gap and the Banana Republic. "It was apparantly about the President." No fucking shit? It was his intention. He's a comedian. He said one thing, and didn't do it, but did it. GET THE JOKE?
Part of his skit Rock said that the Gap was attacking the Banana Republic because they claimed the Banana Republic was selling "Toxic Tank Tops." Later he said that "a thousand Gap employees were dead, blood on the khakis, and we find out, they don't even sell tank tops!!!" The newscasters attacked him for making fun of soldiers dying, and later saying that he supports our troops over in Iraq, and that he should make up his mind. It was a fucking joke you damn biased Fox piece of shits, about a fictional war between two retail companies over TANK TOPS!!! It was meant to sound outragious and to be funny.
To top it all off, they added at the end. "Not to mention, these two stores would never go to war with each other, they are owned by the same parent company." That sums it up. Big business, no sense of humor, can't get a joke fucking idiots. I'm still in shock that two people can be that dumb, and try to look that deep into a joke. Same parent company? How sad.
Anyone who thinks comedians are all biased against Bush, think back. When Clinton was President, did you hear jokes about BJ's in the oval office? Did you hear jokes about big macs? Did you hear jokes about Chelsea? Thought so. Just like when a Democrat is elected in 2008, I'll be making fun of them too.

Same parent company = same world?
What the two newscasters were getting at was that the Gap and the Banana Republic are both owned by the same company. Something the common person doesn't know, or doesn't care about. Just a major over-analysis of a joke on their part. That was what was meant by same parent company.
In political terms, it would be like Illinois declaring war on Missouri, and attacking. Two states in the same country. Or Ontario attacking Quebec. Two provinces, same country.
