r 50c a throw i suspect the irony of the response would be totally lost on him for those who want to see just how angry i can get the full list of comments can be seen here comments on re god inc 16 comments filed under language video blogging september 8 2006 11 59 am steve irwin germain greer and jack marx well the death of crocodile hunter steve irwin has generated hysterical mourning at a level not seen since princess diana had her last car drive this idea of getting really worked up over the death of someone you don t actually know has always made me a bit queasy irwin was a very interesting bloke who did some amazing work both in entertainment and conservation and his death was unfortunate and undeserved it was arguably only a matter of time until his rather dangerous lifestyle caught up with him but it s still a bummer that it happened then germaine greer decided to lob a hand grenade into the worldwide crowd of mourners with a newspaper column where she said among other things the animal world has finally taken its revenge on irwin she honestly didn t say anything too outrageous in the piece but her timing sucked to me it smacked of someone who is either utterly insensitive to the moods of others or someone who is so desperate for attention they do something that they know will generate a tsunami of negative attention for them negative attention is better than no attention for some people germaine being germaine she gladly went on a high rating tabloid current affairs tv show defending her view which guaranteed her nationwide vilification a day or so later jack marx put an insightful piece on his blog completely skewering the hypocrisy of the situation longer term readers may remember marx as the writer who russel crowe attempted to recruit as his inside man his mole in the world of journalism who would write positive stories about rusty particularly about his shudder music a job which i m still open for by the way rusty call me the relationship did not work out well for either of them although marx got an interesting if self serving article out of it one thing mr marx is not scared of is pissing people off and i d just like to round this off with the one piece of this whole circus that made me really angry irwin s producer held a press conference to give the details of what had happened in his statement he uttered one of the most egregious misuses of the term ironically it has been my misfortune to hear another topic regular readers will know is important to me he said i m paraphrasing because i can t find a transcript that irwin was filming for a show that would have been called something like ocean s deadliest creatures when he was killed ironically no being killed while filming world s deadliest anything is not ironic the title is bloody accurate it s apt the one thing it isn t is ironic it would be ironic if he was filming a show called world s cuddliest and friendliest animals and some cute fluffy bunny tore his throat out this is the real smear on steve irwin s legacy not anything germaine greer said i swear anyone who says to me isn t it ironic how steve irwin died is headed straight for intensive care 23 comments filed under general angriness language may 2 2006 12 23 pm isn t it ironic now any regular readers will know i have a bit of a thing about proper language usage and if you don t know that go read my archives are you back good as i was saying i think proper grammar word usage etc is important i even get a little worked up about it sometimes dare i say angry not as angry as some people like this chap who wrote this piece for mcsweeneys i read that when it was published back in 2003 and i ve never forgotten it way better grasp of the nuances of english than me funnier too and angrier one of the many things that has the capacity to make me angry is misuse of the term ironic i don t get too worked up because i m not too sure i always use it accurately the simplest dictionary definition is an expression or utterance marked by a deliberate contrast between apparent and intended meaning in other words the literal meaning of your words is the opposite of what you intend to convey but you also get into socratic irony and dramatic irony and it really gets complicated i actually did research for this piece besides reading mcsweeneys and found a piece via wikipedia that is both an excellent explanation of irony and a lot of fun to read it s much better researched than anything i could do and also funnier guardian article the final irony suffice to say people are almost always wrong when they say isn t that ironic more often it s simply a coincidence or bad luck for instance alanis morrisette s song ironic doesn t contain a single example of true irony is that ironic anyway believe it or not the whole reason that i started struggling with the proper use of irony was that i was thinking of george bush i am continually appalled at the shit he gets away with being a lefty i start from a default position that a right winger is going to piss me off but bush even betrays traditional republican values not that i m a fan of many traditional republican values but it freaks me out that he pisses all over their core tenets like fiscal responsibility and small government and all the while he has these rabid cheerleaders asserting he can do no wrong any pity the traditionalist who speaks up about this betrayal the goon squad are all over them branding them disloyal and unpatriotic you could be a dyed in the wool lifelong republican but if you question the glorious leader his slavering minions will rip you limb from limb and i get more than a little spaced at how quickly the baying mob can flip from championing a particular commentator to publicly eviscerating them because they dared to question bush not matter how self evident their observation is like ummmm he s a fuckwit to be fair i can t nominate a conservative who actually called bush a fuckwit i m reading between the lines but there are signs bush s most ardent supporters might ba about to turn on him it isn t about lying it isn t about screwing up iraq it isn t about encouraging torture it s about immigration bush seems like he s actually about to do something halfway decent regarding the millions of mainly mexican illegal immigrants in the us in an acknowledgement that the economy is essentially dependent on these workers he s trying to find a reasonable compromise and his base are turning on him over it so that s the point of this whole screed bush spends his whole tenure committing a seemingly endless cavalcade of incompetent and illegal acts and gets a free pass he attempts to do one halfway decent thing and his shrieking cheerleaders turn on him is that ironic 5 comments filed under language politics april 19 2006 1 55 pm the sad case of the abused language i ve posted before about how angry it makes me when people use the wrong words but today i m going for a variation on this theme i get equally angry when people misuse language whether through laziness stupidity or intent to deceive let me explain with an example how often have you heard someone say something along the lines of only a fraction of x end up with a successful y phrasing things like that is so damn lazy i want to shake people who talk about fractions with no further explanation or better still staple their mouth shut so they can t spout such meaningless crap any more or maybe a few quiet words would suffice like listen dickhead tell me what fraction or at least what sort of fraction 99 100 is a fraction unless you tell me otherwise i have no way of knowing whether the fraction you mean is closer to 1 100 or 99 100 at least provide some sort of qualifier less than 1 2 a small fraction a tiny fraction i do believe most people use this phrasing out of laziness but there are definitely those who do it maliciously this is most often in media or political statements they use the empty statement of only a fraction to back up their point while glossing over the fact it s no backup at all it doesn t mean anything more often than not the truth behind this statement from a politician or some talking head pushing an agenda is i m talking crap there s no actual evidence to back me up this thing i m making a big scene about is actually not a significant issue i m simply exploiting general ignorance and prejudice to further my own ends another one that really ups my angry factor is the way stores advertise sales their ads proclaim in big letters sale 50 off then there is the fine print words like up to and selected items only us poor suckers rush out to the store only to discover that the only item at 50 off is a pair of socks that sort of advertising is so close to a direct lie that these bastards should be doing jail time what is this up to bullshit that they get away with i mean 0 falls under up to 50 in fact when i take over the world don t forget this will happen all hyperbole will be banned from advertising and in all probability advertising marketing executives will all be publicly executed but no more of these deceptive ads instead of terms that are so broad as to be meaningless they will have to be specific how many and or what percentage of items are at the maximum discount what is the most common level of discount and if you advertise something good on sale you d better damn well have it in stock when i get there try the old bait and switch on me and i ll put your face through a fucking shredder 10 comments filed under language april 12 2006 10 59 am a roman adventure for those who wonder why the misuse of decimate makes me so angry imagine the current misconception of the word s meaning transposed to it s origins i m talking about a group of ten legionaries marching through hostile territory suddenly thwack one of them is felled by an arrow brutus looks down at his fallen comrade and says oh no we ve been decimated and his mate cassius looks at the one dead guy let s call him flavius i think it helps the story come alive when the characters have names not to mention i prefer to be on a first name basis with anyone living in my head anyway cassius looks down at flavius and says what that s it one dead guy and we re decimated really i mean the way everyone always goes on about being decimated i thought it would be way worse of course it didn t work out too well for flavius but this decimated thing isn t too bad i used to lie awake at night worrying about us being decimated and now here we are decimated and nine out of ten of us are fine and dandy and yes i m sure roman legionaries used words like dandy 6 comments filed under language april 11 2006 9 04 am back to the point now i remember the point i was trying to make proving that misusing words is universal and also proving how bad my obsessive compulsive disorder has become i may have mentioned before i choose to focus my anger on small things you wanna know the one that really irks me when people misuse it decimate people are always using it when they mean devastated annihilated almost wiped out you know where it comes from the roman imperial army organised everything in multiples of ten you know what decimated literally means it means the loss of one in ten of your forces ten per cent not ninety per cent not three quarters not even half one in ten why do i hear the foo fighters in my head at the moment anyway so when i hear a newsreader say the tsunami decimated the coastal villages i want them to clarify do you mean ten per cent of the buildings were destroyed oh no virtually all of them oh so not decimated more like devastated or wiped out but not decimated because that would mean only one in ten i often have conversations with my tv yes but everybody knows what decimated means well no apparently they don t least of all you that s my bloody point what the hell is wrong with you people 2 comments filed under language april 10 2006 4 20 am fair and balanced i think it s about time i pointed out i m not anti american anti moron yes but that doesn t mean anti american by default true a significant portion of the american population displays moron like behaviour but they re hardly unique in that from my observation the problem is world wide there s a lot of reflexive anti americanism and i think that s just childish i d much rather target morons wherever they may be and my pet bugbear about using the wrong word happens often enough right here in my own back yard i can t emphasise how angry this behaviour makes me and people do it all the time without thinking i can t work out if it s because they re lazy or stupid worst of all is when the media do it the supposedly authoritative newsreader uses a word wrong then everyone thinks it s ok to do it it doesn t work that way people if everyone does the wrong thing it s still wrong i almost used the hitler analogy there but if i did according to godwin s law i d automatically lose the argument but the point is you could all bite the heads off kittens and drink their blood together but that wouldn t make it right ray martin could go on prime time tv naked rub faeces all over his body and dedicate a human sacrifice to his dark lord the many headed beast shoggoth and that wouldn t make it right actually it wouldn t surprise me if that s the sort of thing ray does in his spare time in fact here s a tip if ray martin says it does it thinks it it s probably wrong no matter what the channel 9 publicity department would have you believe now i ve forgotten what the hell my original point was 3 comments filed under language older posts they said it mr angry on my favourite cocktail of 2023 mr angry on
