The Whole Family Gets A Big Kick Out Of Dad's Annual Tradition Of Asking Smaktakula If This Will Be The Year He Finally Comes Out Of The Closet.

It happens every year–wherever families are gathered together for the holidays, dark forces arise to ensure that some asshole ruins Christmas for everybody.  Again.  This holiday-themed poltergeist may manifest as anything from your sister’s annual recrimination-swollen weep-orgy  to your uncle’s unquenchable lust for the young cousins.  It might simply be dad not showing up again.  Just as there are a myriad of families, each with its own holiday traditions, there are also just as many traditional ways to fuck those families up for the holidays.

You Might Not Think A Guy Like This Would Amount To Much, But He Kicked Christmas' Ass In A Big Way.

But as with so many things done well–particularly with holiday-themed acrimony– it’s easy to be undone by routine.  The challenge for many lies in blighting the family gathering to such a degree that it remains a painful and unshakable legacy for generations to come.  The unfortunately-named Azizolah “Boba” Yazdanpanah, of Grapevine Texas, found a way to do just that.

Heretofore, All The Dudes We've Known Named 'Boba' Have Been Hella Cool.

When Christmas morning found Yazdanpanah dressed in a Santa suit at the door of his estranged wife’s home, unsuspecting relatives welcomed him in the spirit of the holiday, no doubt suspecting that Yazdanpanah’s antics would amount to no more than his annual tradition of making a complete ass of himself in front of his beleaguered and long-suffering family.   A niece tweeted, ” We just got here and my uncle is here too. Dressed as Santa. Awesome.”  She added, ominously, “Now he wants to be all fatherly and win father of the year.”

If You're Gonna Do It, Do It Right. That's All We're Saying.

This proved a tragic misreading of Yazdanpanah’s intentions.  Rather than ‘father of the year,’ the deranged douchebag’s mad goals were to summon the demoniac specter of Christmastime abandon, and loose the blood-maddened yule-beast upon everything he had ever loved in a paroxysm of Bah-Humbug Scroogery.  A perfectionist until the last, Yazdanpanah had invested too much into his ghastly scheme to singlehandedly suck the joy from Christmas to compromise his mission with haste or sloppiness.  Yazdanpanah graciously joined his family in opening gifts and celebrating the birth of the Prince of Peace before slaying everyone present with a handgun he had stashed in his Santa suit.

Sometimes Just A Little Extra Touch Is All It Takes To Ruin Christmas For Generations.

Clean that bad taste out of your mouth with this story of a more heroic Santa, who sadly, dies nonetheless.  ∞T.

Your First World Problems In Perspective

By Smaktakula

Despite Being Good All Year, Smaktakula Received Only A $25 Gift Card From Bed, Bath & Beyond. Where The Fuck Is His Benefit Concert?

You didn’t get what you wanted for Christmas and it sucks so bad it feels like a kick in the face. Your friends all got iPads–which they’re not even gonna use!–and all you got was two reams of college-rule notebook paper from your grandma.¹ We feel you, Bro.

If You Can Deal With Both A Lifetime Of Seething Resentment And The Culpability In The Complete Ruination Of Your Offspring, Then You Go Ahead And Buy It.

If we might offer a tiny balm for your first world boo-boo, concentrate instead on the relatively lavish life you live in comparison to the rest of the world (and remember, not everybody lives in Sweden, Singapore or Andorra). Don’t let yourself be bummed by the idea that you’re one paycheck from being homeless. In reality, you’re one paycheck away from ruining your parents’ plan to turn your old room into a leather-dungeon, and believe us, their degeneracy can wait a year or two until you meet a nice girl who makes you go out and find a job.

Our Standard Of Living Affords Some Pretty Wacky Pursuits.

Rather, envision life without the great many amenities–among them clean running water, a solid infrastructure, depraved internet porn–available to every man, woman and child throughout the first world. Think of life then not in terms of paychecks, but of meals. You might, for example, prefer not to eat pork products²–in the first world food preferences are among our myriad everyday extravagances. It behooves you to remember, however, the ugly reality is that you’re at most seventy-two to ninety-six hours from “Whom must I blow for a half-eaten McRib Sandwich?”

We Had A Big Breakfast, So The Best You’re Gonna Get Right Now Is A Hand-Job.

¹ This actually happened to Smaktakula one year.  You’re awesome, Mrs. B!  ∞T.
² That Smaktakula assiduously refrains from eating pork indicates he’s most likely a Muslim or Jew, albeit one who (as indicated in the first footnote) celebrates Christmas. ∞ T.

Trump’s Exit Leaves GOP Field Slightly Less Sleazy

America Doesn't Need Another Privileged Child Of Wealth, But A Self-Made Man, Like Donald Trump's Father.

America’s Republican Party got a shot in the arm with the recent news that Donald ‘The Donald’ Trump has switched his party affiliation from Republican to Independent.  The real estate mogul and vulgar television personality had in years previous been registered as a Democrat.

Trump’s own plans are confusing.  According to a source he may be planning an independent run in 2012, but also claims he will support a particular Republican candidate when the time comes.  There is the danger that Trump’s opportunistic actions will divide the Republican field, allowing Barack Obama to win a second term despite his administration’s flagging popularity.  Experts agree that as catastrophic as this situation would be, it remains a small price to pay to avoid a Trump presidency.

Trump Would Have Brought Desperately Needed Dignity To The Republican Race.

Here are a few other faces whose defection would buoy the Republican Party:

Unfailingly Reminds The Public Of A Slimy Amphibian. Since Willard Romney Has A Manly Nickname Taken From A Piece Of Sporting Equipment,. Maybe They Should Have Called Gingrich "Jock."

The American Presidential Primary: Giving Shitty States A Voice

California, electoral votes, Iowa, New Hampshire, New York, places that suck, presidential primary, United States of America

By Smaktakula

New Hampshire And Iowa Have A Lot To Say About Presidential Politics.

With a combined total of 11 (out of a nationwide total of 538) electoral votes, unimportant American States like Iowa and New Hampshire wouldn’t normally have very much say in who wins the US presidency.  That would be like choosing a first-grade teacher based solely on the preferences of the weird kid who eats paste.

Iowans Determine Their Presidential Candidates Via The Caucus.

But thanks to America’s primary process, it’s not just important and worthwhile states like California or New York which determine the leader of the free world, but also cultural black holes like Wyoming, Alaska and the Deep South.  This system, unique among the world’s nations, allows America to refocus its priorities, adding political clout to a state based not on its size or economic output, but on whether or not it produces corn.

It's Not Like Iowa Has NOTHING Going For It; It's The Birthplace Of Fictional Geek Icon Captain James T. Kirk.

North Korea Fires On Santa’s Sleigh

By Smaktakula

Mr. Claus Is Said To Be No Fan Of The Pyongyang Regime.

In a move considered dickish even by the attenuated standards of blighted pariah nations, rogue state North Korea fired two Nodong-2 missles at Santa’s Sleigh early Sunday morning, narrowly missing the beloved quasi-diety.  Santa and his reindeer are reportedly unhurt, much to the delight of good boys and girls throughout the first world.

No, You're Thinking Of Vietnam. In North Korea, Santa Says "Kim! Kim! Kim!"

Western observers are divided as to the reasons behind the military action.  Some view the attack as a show of strength by newly-appointed dictator and enfant terrible, Kim Jong-un.  Others disagree.  Proponents of the so-called “Bad Santa” theory contend that the attack was a calculated maneuver, and was never intended to harm St. Nick.   Santa would be so furious following the encounter, according to the theory, that he would leave the entire North Korean nation nothing but coal, something the wretched citizens of the failed state desperately need to heat their desolate hovels.

Whatever. You Weren't Getting Anything, Anyway.

Bon Jovi Scare Raises Question: Who From Jersey NEEDS To Die?

By Smaktakula

Glad To See You Made It, Jon. But If It Looks Like Jersey, It's At Best Purgatory.

Residents of the Garden State are resting a little easier with the knowledge that beloved New Jersey music icon Jon Bon Jovi is not dead, as was earlier reported.  The erroneous reports of the singer’s death were greeted by the gnashing of teeth and tearing of garments from Bayonne to Camden.  After Asbury Park native Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi is New Jersey’s most universally popular figure.

"He's Not Dead!" Says Shannon Fitzgerald, Longtime Bon Jovi Stalker, "And I'll Kill Anyone Who Says He Is!"

While Promethean Times shares the public’s relief at the news of Bon Jovi’s continued existence, the false rumors of his demise invite interesting speculation.  Given that the majority of celebrities associated with New Jersey are cartoonish parodies of the state’s lowest and most venal stereotypes (the accuracy of these depictions notwithstanding), is there anyone else from New Jersey who might deserve death in Bon Jovi’s stead?

We proudly present the following options:

Jason Alexander: Irritating, Bald And Short, But Apparently Going Away On His Own.

***

Snooki: Oversexed Orange Wishnik Troll And Herpes' Answer To Typhoid Mary.

***

Joe Piscopo: WHO?

***

Woodrow Wilson: Snooty Academic. League Of Nations Enthusiast. Reneged On Promise To Keep US Out Of WWI, And Failed To Make The World Safe For Democracy. Already Dead.

***

Joe Pesci: Like Alexander, Pesci Is Short And Irritating, But Has Better Hair And Has Appeared In A Funny Movie As Recently As The Clinton Administration.

However, after hundreds of hours sorting through viable candidates, contrasting their various crimes against humanity as well as mitigating factors, we’ve determined the New Jersey celebrity most in need of death:

Richie Sambora: There Can Be Only One.

"Hey! This Not A Rending Ribrary! You Buy Or You Get The Herr Out!"

Kim Jong-il, the once-feared despot of blighted hellhole North Korea, is said to be transitioning easily into his new life as a Compton, California liquor store owner.  Although the blue-collar life might seem like a comedown from the palatial existence previously enjoyed by the tiny madman, ‘Lil Kim claims to be very happy.

Kim's Youngest Son Is Sorry To See The Old Man Go.

“Rife is so much easier now.  I got none of the probrems of running rearry big and important country,” says the diminutive ex-despot, referring to the asswipe country he inherited from his own father and ran further into the ground.  He has high hopes for the prospects of his youngest son, Kim Jong-un, who has taken over the reins of state in his stead.  “My boy, ‘Ril ‘Ril Kim, gonna fuck South Korea up good!”

'Lil Kim Has Been Welcomed To The Neighborhood By Such Businessmen As Terry Davis, Owner Of Sandbox Liquor.

Although ‘Lil Kim isn’t at liberty to discuss the matter, it is believed he is joined in his exile by several other former world leaders.  “Yeah, I see some famiriar faces–let’s put it that way.  At reast I’m not . . . so ronery any more.”

"You Better Not Be Selling Any Goddamn Falafels! I Make The Mother Of All Falafels!"
