Why don't you stick it up your arse, then

The NHL rules very clearly state that if anyone instigates a fight in the last five minutes of a game, or in overtime, they will sit out the next game. It's an automatic suspension.

So when some uppity Russian Penguin loses all sense of sportsmanship and chucks the rattle out of the pram by trying to whale on known dirty bastard Henrik Zetterberg (!!!) and failing spectacularly... you'd expect the same rule to apply. Right?

Wrong! OF COURSE. Everybody knew there'd be no WAY Evgeni Malkin would get suspended. Evgeni Malkin IS one half of the NHL. The other being Sidney, of course. Suspension? Thbthhhhhht.

It's not surprising. It's disappointing. And people wonder why everyone has such a hate-on for the Penguins. It's because of shit like THIS. But no, there's no preferential treatment. Not at all, that's just a CONSPIRACY, DUMBASS.

I wonder what would've happened if Zetterberg had hit him first.

Mattski, and twitter, have made me like the Red Wings, that much is true. But I'd be cheering them to win anyway - because for all the accusations people throw at Detroit, they don't whine or cry or get preferential fucking treatment.

Well now

I'm just a barrel of laughs today! I am actually in a good mood, just fired up by things.

Apparently it's HILARIOUS that Susan Boyle's been admitted to mental health care. Hahahaha the funny looking woman done a mental!

Would you ever all shut the hell UP. This isn't a gripe about the media - there's enough there to keep anyone going for days - but the attitude towards mental health problems. The utterly rubbish attitude. That it's funny. That it's something else that makes Susan Boyle sad and weird, along with being single and living with a cat.

As a single person who lives wth a cat and who has previously been placed under the care of a mental health crisis team, I'd like to say - none of these things make me especially bad or weird or different.

She's just a woman, for the love of all that's good. Anyway the point of this post was, read this, which is everything I've been trying to say and failing.

I know everyone's sick of Britain's Got Talent. But as far as I'm concerned it isn't about that anymore. It's about hounding a woman to the point of illness and thinking it's okay to point and laugh, and it's about, well...

Let's just say my psychology course officially starts today and I'm even more certain now I'm doing the right thing, because I might never change a single attitude, but I sure as shit won't change any just sitting on my arse and wondering how.

I may be too ambitious and idealistic, but helping people is what I want to do.

That last link was one thing, but this one might be even better.

Shutting up about this now.
