Who cares about the abused anyway?

Blogged this last week and brought to mind again following the report into child abuse in the Archdiocese of Dublin. Look close at the teeny tiny sphere at the bottom there.

Just seen a message on Twitter about a facebook group to get the papal nuncio expelled from Ireland. Wonder will it get more members than the one to support victims of child abuse.

Wonder also how many that join it know about or signed the ISPCC 24 hour child petition? Or is it just easier to focus on the perpetrators rather than the victims. It’s a bit like the alcoholic in the family getting all the focus while the sober ones suffer in silence and experience pain too.

Episode 361 of the  ‘This American Life’ radio show has 5 stories related to the fear of sleep.

The first story of the episode is from comedian Mike Birbiglia. He talks about the time his sleepwalking almost killed him. It’s one of the funniest and most incredible stories you are likely to hear.

Enjoy.

How much would you pay to wrap yourself up in this all American quilt?

Handmade, limited edition (10 only) comfort quilt with the logos of 58 well known North American brands.

Priced to sell at $4,900 

Wouldn’t be surprised if a factory in China is cranking up a machine to churn them out for $99.99 as I type this.

Drunk as Balls Dojo - a Craigslist classic

Are you a casual drunk to full blown alcoholic? Is your mouth often writing checks your fists can’t cash? Drunk as Balls Dojo is the answer to all of your problems. At Drunk as Balls Dojo you will learn the fine art of bar fighting from one of the nation’s premiere trouble drunks- Ryan O’Reilly. Master O’Reilly has been banned nationally from such established chains as Friday’s, Buffalo Wild Wings, and every Border’s Book Store containing a Starbucks. He is an expert in the “What are you looking at” and “You got a problem” fighting styles, but is very skilled in a variety of other styles such as “She was talking to me.”

Master O’reilly will take you from the pansy-ass lush you are now to becoming a true liability in only 5 weeks. Intensive training covering such varied areas of self-offense as:
-Using wing sauce as a weapon
-Breaking a beer bottle without slicing and dicing your hands
- Accurate projectile vomiting
- Flicking a lit cigarette into someones face
- “Getting the fuck outta there”

Classes will be held every Monday, Weds, and Friday- with Fridays being reserved for critiquing failed technique in the classic and award winning movie Roadhouse. You’ll come to class, get wasted drunk, and mix it up with other like-minded individuals. Master Ryan will show you the path to true ‘trouble maker.’ Only when you reach that point will you be able to tell that douche-bag how ridiculous his shirt/hat/girlfriend is with the confidence that only comes from being trained as a drunk fighter. If you aspire to bar-flydom, this class is a must have!

Classes start at $50 a week + a 12 pack per class.
