The evils of disney

2008-09-01T18:23:00.000-07:00

As a kid I was brought up on Disney, probably like a lot of people my age… and I wouldn't say it damaged me in the way that people seem to think it is going to damage tomorrows youth… or maybe people think that tomorrows youth are more susceptible to the images of a male member on a fantasy castle or the words "sex" written in dust.

"a giant cock on the castle"

"sex written in the dust"

I personally think… its all bullshit because Human psychology has and always will be the same. We see sex in everything weather we mean to or not.

I'm not denying there are penis like objects all over Disney footage… because hell, some of them are hard……….. To deny seeing.

But, some of the things people say they see in Disney films is WAY too much… voodoo curse singing, the word "sex" appearing everywhere in the lion king… Bernard being wanked off in the rescuers!!! and one person even saying that the name "Pocahontas" will summon evil demons…. THAT WASN'T EVEN DISNEYS INFLUENCE!!! POCAHANTUS IS A REAL NATIVE AMERICAN AND THAT FILM IS BASED ON A TRUE STORY YOU MORONIC FUCKTARD! Not to mention the people who seem to think Aladdin says "good teenagers take off your clothes"… someone thought they hear him say that, they tell people, then because they think its there they hear it too…. So no, its rubbish.

But ok fair enough if people want to see these things. They DO make amusing youtube videos and stuff… but what really pisses me off about this bullshit is when people start saying stuff like

"Disney is evil and its trying to corrupt our kids with subliminal messages" - the moronic, paranoid masses

Why would Disney try and corrupt your kids? Or more to the point… HOW will this stuff corrupt your kids?... so they see the word sex…SO WHAT?.... is that going to make them think of sex? OH NO!!! NOW THEIR CHILDHOOD IS RUINED!!!... oh please!!! They were probably thinking about sex before they even saw that anyway… in fact they probably stopped thinking about sex to think "hey that dust cloud says sex"

So… basically… get a grip and quit blaming the media for stuff that bad parenting is doing… that's right… you heard me! B-A-D P-A-R-E-N-T-I-N-G!.

Its just like this whole "evil breed of dog" fiasco, there is no evil breed of dog! Just the people who train them to be or act aggressively, or people who DON'T train them to be nice… its all the same. Children who grow up with little or no moral and intellectual direction from their parents/guardian will take more notice of media related influence because that is their only window to social intelligence… that's when the media becomes evil… when you let it be evil.

And the least of your worries is video game violence and sex on TV… try the promotion of a shallow lifestyle… that should be the biggest worry of any person who cares so much about this kind of stuff.

Hanna montanah, highschool musical… any shit like that with its tacky canned laughter "jokes" and cliché stereotypes. You know what that does to children? It makes them think that being like those people on TV is cool… attractive people are cool and ugly people are geeks… CHILDREN ACTULAY DECIDE WHO THEIR FRIENDS ARE WITH THIS MENTALITY.

They don't care about personality, all they want is to be friends with attractive kids and fit in to the most popular cliques.

What happens in all of these shows…. it follows around an attractive main character, with their attractive sidekicks who take the piss out of kids who haven't had enough plastic surgery to be a main character. They have little school yard adventures that revolve around.

> Finally getting the attractive boy they like

> The geeky ugly boy that likes them and they want nothing to do with them.

> Their cliquey friends having an argument about nail polish then making up at the end

> Loosing the attractive boy they like because they like another attractive boy

> Planning a prom!!!

> Going shopping or how spoiled they are

They see this shit on TV and develop delusional ideals about how life is supposed to be just like that. Most kids who watch this don't understand the concept of reality and think every argument about nail polish will end with a reconcile where the relationship is stronger than ever.

This is what's corrupting. Children grow up to be, shallow shills with friends that couldn't give a flying fuck about them… but hey, they're attractive so they must be a good person since the TV seems to think so.

It sort of reminds me of when shows like "friends" and "sex in the city" ended… because adults were like, "omg, I'm going to miss them so much, it was like having real friends in my life"

They were the sort of people who watched "saved by the bell" as children. My advice to people like that… anyone who you can watch in reruns of is not your friend… they are CHARICTERS and the person who plays' them is probably a shallow bitter shill who if met you would either laugh in your face or mace you.

So the moral of the story is, stop thinking of fictional characters are your friends and just enjoy them for the amusing shows they star in so you can stop thinking your life should be like on TV.

Then you can get back to raising your kids with a decent social moral set so they can enjoy life with no prior expectations, inspired by crappy delusional TV shows, to be disappointed by.

THAT WAY, YOU WONT HAVE TO WATCH DISNEY IN SLOW MOTION TO PICK OUT ANYTHING YOU CAN USE TO BLAME for the fact your child cant hold a steady relationship with all the attractive (personality-less) people they have been dating.

TF2: Meet the music video montage

2008-07-31T04:00:00.000-07:00

Meet the Music Video Montage from Supa Comix on Vimeo.

beeing a machinima feind, i try to make movies in almost everything i play.
i have been playing this game called team fortress 2 for a long while now and after discovering the record function and how to make a playable movie without the consol, i thougth about how i could use this to make my own tf2 movie.
my first one was about the new pyro ulockables, which was more of a test about making films than anything. looking for more ideas to start a BIG project that i could use smoothing and stuff on, so i looked back on a genre that i rember enjoying last summer... the music video hell genre started by AMV hell. this genre had expanded into all kinds of games... even ruescape. so i was like... this is what i want to do.
as soon as i thoght about it, loads of ideas came to mind, some based on jokes in existing MV hell videos and other based on tf2 jokes. one was just random personal jokes to see if i could squeeze some classical music in there.

i started filming with a few of my clan members, st nicky (who i know in real life) and aa killer (who provides our servers and has become quite a good friend to me and nick)
later it expanded to me asking people to do stuff in game so i could get a whole games worth of actors.
however, i come on the next day after filming my entire set over a week and found that tf2 had updated leaving all my demo files usless. so after trying every consol command to get them to work again, it still didnt work... so i had to start again.
this time i had one extra full time actor to help me, fudge807, so things were a little easier and i had more ideas of what to do as well.
after a short while, the simple stuff was done. there were just a few ideas i thought were going to be immpossable to get... that was until i logged on to our clan server one day to find it full of community and clan members... (for the first time ever, they're usualy quite empty) who were having an all mele match. i joined in for a while then had a thought about one of the clips i needed so i typed into the message system
"can you guys help me out with a video i'm making? i just need you all to go heavy and start jumping around on the bridge"
all the time after that i thought no one was gonna go for it, until over voice chat i hear [LEGION] The General tell his clan members to go out and do it.
it was funny as hell to watch all these guys jump around on the bridge as heavys, it was a shame some of them were lagging out. i'm not sure who the guy was who jumped in the middle as a scout, but i think if i had re-filmed that... i woudl have got someone to go scout as well and stand in the middle just like that.

after i got all the recording done, it was time to turn those demos into movies. that was a long and tedious process especialy for the smoothing ones. The main problem though was the file size of the videos, by the end of it all, i had accumilated 120GB of video files and i only have a 160GB hard drive.

once the thing was finshed, i was happy with the results, i think what i did was good considering that it is my first time using smoothing. obviously if i had better resorces it woudl have turned out a lot better, but i did my best with what i had and missed a few nights sleep getting it fineshed and woundering if it was missing something.
as soon as it was up i was glad to see it got some good comments, it made the thing seem more worth while. the negitive comments annoyed me a little though (i mean who woudlnt get annoyed by negitive comments about their work) mostly because they were about the quality of the filming... but we dont all have super computers or the best resorces, so like i said i did my best with what i had.

anyway, if the youtube verson of this video ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=14NJoaEVXKo ) reaches 20k veiws by the end of this year i will consider making a second one next summer.
i didnt post the youtube one on here because the audio quality is rubbish.

dressing inappropriately?

2008-01-28T13:55:00.000-08:00

ok, so I go to an awesome party with a whole load of people I know. I'm thinking, yeah, casual... because well.... it is casual..... and i go casual for everything anyway... i have no nice clothes!

anyway, yeah, so I go casual, kaki quarter length shorts and a black t-shirt with "DMU.AC.UK" on it... and little smear of paint on the sleeve as well. my mate, he goes with me, t-shirt, jeans. you know, we were just all causal and stuff, which is fine right? i don't see anything wrong with what we were wearing.... its not like i had major cleavage or hot pants or anything.... COME ON! now that would be bad.

everyone else at the same party, they were pretty damn casual too. Hawaiian shirts, jeans, just having a laugh... I mean, it was karaoke and a Chinese... not night at the Rivera sipping champagne. but one bitch, one annoying, picky bitch decided... once me and my friend had left the party, to declare that we were inappropriately dressed to everyone on our table...... WHO THE FUCK IS SHE TO SAY SHIT LIKE THAT? I was appropriately dressed... I was causal...... it wasn't like a turned up in suspenders and a mini skirt that could pass as a belt! I MEAN WHAT THE FUCK? SERIOUSLY, WHERE THE FUCK DO PEOPLE LIKE THAT GET OFF BITCHING ABOUT STUPID... PETTY SHIT? NO FUCKING WAY.... NO WAY, SHE COULDN'T EVEN SAY IT TO MY DAMN FACE!

the only reason I know, is because everyone on that table, apart from her, I've been good friends with for over two years... and that bitch didn't even know who I was... even though I've seen her about for at least 3 months.... I KNEW WHO SHE WAS... LOUSY COW..... anyway, she was going on about the inappropriateness of my clothes... (which no one else seemed to mind about) and the person, who was very defence and a uber person, wasn't having any of it and totally set her straight by pointing out the fact there were people there dressed a lot less casually than I was..... basically, justice was done, and I'm glad of it. because very rarely people like that are set straight.

still, my point being.... casual is not inappropriate unless stated otherwise... you don't go to a party to show off what a pretty frock you have or how much makeup you can afford by slabing enough on your face to paint the inside of the Tardis. no, you go to unwind, chill out, relax and have some uber fun... and you sure as hell cant do that if you're too busy re applying makeup and sitting at a funny angle (if at all) because your dress maybe fashionable... but it sure as hell isn't comfortable.

what's more, if you're not only worried about your own appearance but everyone else's to the point where a comment must be made..... how much fun can you possibly having?!.

all in all, people like that can fuck off. just like she did when she got verbally owned.

life, the university and everything

2007-10-01T10:12:00.000-07:00

Theres not all that much you can do when you're tired but a comitment you made keeps you up past the hours of the normal. currently, i am waiting for something to happen myself, but i'm not sure what... maybe life perhaps, or maybe just a fleet on Ogame to return.
either way, it gives me good quality time to finaly share my blogography beyond the boundarys of myspace, filled with its teenaged 13yr old whores and 50yr old perverts that post nothing but obcenties and links to pictures of themselfvs naked. because to be honest, it woudl be nice to post somethign meaningful without gettign a moronic reply from a superstcious idiot declaring that if i read this post my dog will get raped by a goast at midnight.

this being my first blog away from my usual soap box stand, i feel an introduction is in order. i am Adele, and thats all you need to know. as you coudl have guessed by my bloger title, i have a love hate relationship with the world, that rages on, unresolved, in a world where chaos follows me like a piece of toilet paper stuck to my heel.
i like to use my blogs to let off steam, and share my world veiw in acordence to the kind of day i've had. it tends to work.
and, since starting university, never has ther been a better reason. however, after a somewhat dpressed outlook and shakey start, i picked up my pace and now i'm settign it for the rest of the group with 'A' after 'A' and ego boost after ego boost, uni life couldnt be much better. however, i belive that might take a little hit tommorow with a presentation i have yet to compleate.
but my life isnt as shallow as univeristy and wanting sucess, i also want answers. i want questions and answers. i want expanations, i want to know as much as i can and then rant about it on a later date.
