Yoshi Lives Large
We were curious this morning as to whatever had happened to ol’ Justin Darr, with whom we had shared so many good times.
Above: What we found was depressing
But all is not dark, for Adam Yoshida, the self-proclaimed Most Right-Wing Person in All of Canada, is back with more of his illuminating commentary:
[...]
Thus, my response to Earth hour is as follows. When I finish this post, I am going to get into my car and drive first to Bellingham, WA, then to Lynnwood, WA, then possibly to Seattle. Before I leave, I am going to turn on every single light in my apartment (most of which, by the way) are incandescent 100w bulbs. I am also going to leave my television on (though with the volume muted, in a concession to my neighbours) and I am going to leave all three of my computers running, specifically encoding video files.
Yeah, it’ll cost me a few bucks. But, frankly, just for the pure joy of going against the grain - and of doing it while it’s still legal - I’m going to do it.
But truly the brightest realization — a veritable light-bulb moment, if we can overextend the metaphor like that — was from the series of photos that followed, showing the lamps defiantly ablaze, chez Yoshida. Because not only does his place look like this:
Above: Welcome to Bachelor Flats, population: 1
It also… Hey, wait one second here: ‘legal’ like encoding copyrighted videos is legal? Well, whatever; that’s nobody’s business. But along with the monogrammed hope chest from his childhood bedroom and the sparely-expressed Simpsons motif — a self-rebuke compounded by the telltale thrift-shop table and overintegrated home-entertainment components (forecast: occasionally hot and moist with a 75% chance of BitTorrented hentai) — the observant observer will notice the following:
Above: He apparently stands posing in front of that flag all the freaking time!
Also, while I’m in Washington, I’m going to purchase expensive clothes, doubtlessly produced by Asian child labourers. Needless to say, I feel good right now.

That hope chest is really very sad. I fear his hopes will go unrealized for a long, long time.
I really think you should mention, though, that the rest of his post is pictures of his various light fixtures, all turned on. Take that, you dirty hippies!

I keep wondering if the only way to actually achieve a reduction in cooling would be if we played the wingnuts for chumps using reverse psychology. I mean, their basic M.O. seems to be “just do anything that pisses off the liberals!”
So if we disguise our eco-consciousness in their swill-flooded bullshit, fabricate evidence that we’re actually creating even more of an energy crisis than them, and go out in public using their talking points all the time…
Could we get Adam Yoshida to do our work for us?

Hah. What a cobag; and I get to share a country with him. I hope his computers burn out.
Were he in an unnattatched house, rather than an apartment, I’d wish his computers to burn down — that would suit him by causing more carbon emission in one defiant blaze of glory than this weak ‘leave the lights on’ act.

Yes, this is where much of the right’s energy is directed–toward harmless, adolescent rebellion against what they imagine to be their liberal nannies. And I say, why interrupt them?
Oh, and I notice he’s not so pro-American that he can resist a little shopping trip across the border. Not that I blame him–the exchange rate is very favorable towards Canadians right now.

Adam: Perhaps it’s because he’s so gosh-darn rightwing he wanted to put all the stars in the more righteous direction or something? It sounds like the sort of cargo-cultish nonsense these people get into…
Seriously though, I just can’t get over the childish and dishonest assertion that this, and actions like this, are some kind of brave gesture of heroic defiance. The precise ratio of pants-pissing terror and blatant dishonesty these people live and communicate with could occupy debate halls for decades to come.

The whole notion of sexy ringtones intrigues me now. How stupid do you suppose someone would feel when one of his sexy ringtones goes off in a meeting or restaurant?

Some observations:

I can’t decide if this makes me want to dwell on Bowling for Soup’s “High School Never Ends” or my roommate/BFF who enjoys being thrifty, and feels the quality of her life increase.
I understand that people can enjoy buying expensive clothing, especially when said clothing looks and feels good on you. But seriously, this guy enjoys paying needlessly high utility bills? This is his idea of a meaningful gesture? No sticking your right hand in a fire is a meaningful gesture. He shouldn’t have muted the TV, it would be public this way for people who don’t read is dumbass blog.

As a liberal, and as a queer and a pagan and a feminist and a communist who supports universal healthcare which would cover abortions and needle exchanges and free condoms, I cannot more strongly condemn the practice of sticking one’s tongue into light bulb sockets. This is not a joke, nor is it simply good clean fun: light bulb sockets should never contain anything but CFLs, and to do otherwise is clearly immoral. Sticking tongues into them is even worse than filling them with wasteful incandescent bulbs. It causes pollution, energy surges in our aging infrastructure (neglected as it has been by decades of shoddy privatized management under the capitalist pig corporations and their corrupt republican toadies), and global warming. It is harmful to our mother earth who created us through the long, nurturing process of evolution and natural selection, and to whom we owe our respect. It endangers important species like the spotted owl, and it is typically greedy and wasteful as humans are. It’s also patriarchal, and displays a masculinist attitude that one has a right to go around sticking ones body parts into receptacles just because one feels one “owns” them, as though all property should not be held in common for the good of all personkind. Clearly, sticking one’s tongue into light bulb sockets should be outlawed, and I call upon a strong democratic Congress and our next democratic president to put forth the harshest possible penalties for persons caught doing so. I demand also that Hillary Clinton and her civil union partner Bill Clinton immediately be sent on a tax funded fifty state consciousness-raising trip to teach schoolchildren about the profoundly anti-environmental crime that is light bulb socket/tongue interaction, that printed materials to be sent home with schoolchildren in hopes their parents will also have their awareness raised be printed on recycled papers with soy ink in all six UN official languages, and insist that the Clinton partnership, and Congress and the White House, seek and achieve a United Nations statement of support for this cause, and a condemnation of persons who willfully continue to destroy the planet in this way.
Also, it makes Al Gore cry.

No one forced the builders to build, the mortgage companies to loosen their restrictions and lend to everyone and their dog, or the buyers to get in over their heads…the problem wasn’t the Federal government, it was the people.“
This from a lady who says she worked for a big homebuilder (after working for a mortgage company).
Jesus, it’s like some people either don’t understand the meaning of the word irony, of they understand it too well.

Ok, I’m now convinced this Yoshida character has to be some sort of brilliant performance artist. Look at the lamps, people… Look. At. The. Lamps.

The building where those lamps live is definitely a rental.
Ironically, Mr. Yoshida lives in the heart of Vancouver’s gay community. I wonder how he copes.

I think the pic in his bio is flipped. It is clearly the same flag as the one in the reflection. Also, you wouldn’t catch AY pointing with his left hand, now would ya?
He does look a bit like Ollie, but that picture of him really made me think of this guy for some reason.

RWS, your assessment of the fixtures and general hideousness of the pad agrees with mine. The fact that there is no evidence of anything but the two flags on the walls only deepens the impression of what a sad, lonely, clad-in-1/4″sheetrock sort of flop house it must be.

MaryC- do you actually read these blogs?
Sometimes — for the same reason Gavin and his SN! buddies do, I suppose, to find out what people are thinking and have a laugh at their expense or roll my eyes in wonder. But I got caught up in this person’s story almost in spite of myself. When she first posted that she was facing eviction I thought of sending a few bucks her way - I know what it’s like to lose your job and have no-one to turn to. But the fact that she’s broke and yet willing to spend money on some pointless gesture that expresses nothing other than petulance and resentment .. well, to hell with it. I’m glad she got some kind of job though. May she and Wal-Mart be happy together.

Just out of curiosity…how come “able-bodied militias” are always advocated by those who are as far away from “able-bodied” as they can get?

Hey, he went out of his way to find an apartment there. I wonder how the rest of the gay community copes, actually…

MaryC, are you MaryC from World O’ Crap? Because that would give you an excellent excuse to read blogs like that.

Hey, I recognize that floorlamp! $10 at Wal-mart. I had 2.
BTW, love the Lord Gary Ruppert spoof. I can’t decide if it takes a lot of hard work or you just turn off all logic to achive it.

OK, I have this head-slapping moment here. Adam clearly claims he’s from Canada — and is posing in front of an American flag.
Damn right-wing foreigner! We’ve enough of your kind here.
The only thing more bizarre than that would be him posing in front of a Confederate flag.
Gary Ruppert said,

The fact is, the Confederate Flag is a patriotic flag, and the liberals in smearing it with the taint of racism is so much baloney. The southern fiolks, like us in the Heartland, are sick of you eleitists telling us what to think and what to do.
We’ll tell YOU someday, and you will have no choice.

He deliberately wastes as much energy as humanly possible just for the sake of being a dick?
He goes straight to the front of the “getting kicked square in the nuts” line.

The fact is, Oddjob’s hat’s brim had a stone-slicing side and a blunt, breaking-fleeing-people’s-neck side. He simply threw it so that the blunt side hit Tilly Masterson.
The fact is, Geert Wilders looks like a troll doll and his movie’s only big response was a rent-a-mob in *Pakistan.*
