My Response to the Worst Islam-o-phobe Page on Facebook

This post is NWSF. You have been warned.

Today I got a tip for the worse Islam-o-phobe page on Facebook.

It's called "FUCK ISLAM AND EAT BACON". Just Google it.

Here's my 12-second sound-byte in response to "Doctor Benway" who runs the page with his EDL lackeys from Australia and the UK.

This guy has been deluged with hate mail from outraged liberals who never understand why he mocks Muslims.

He gets death threats from Muslims, too.

Here's an example of the hate mail he posts and his response:

Fuck Islam and Eat Bacon Malak Bazid Writes: You seriously believe all the things the media tries to make you believe? The media has obviously succeeded in playing tricks on you and your mind.

A Picture Paints a Thousand Words

It is very dangerous to whip out your smartphone and video a police takedown from your front yard. If the cops see you, then they could arrest you for "obstructing justice" when all you are doing is watching the police.

In Canada, legal advice has it that it is illegal to take a picture of a person who may be identified in it and subject to slander, libel and similar injustices.

However, there is also a 50-foot exception since beyond this point, you need an expensive DSL camera to refine details in a picture.

Yet the state of technology of a camera depends on the resolution of a photo. If you choose a picture resolution of under 2048x1536, then picture quality will suffer for subjects 50 feet away from the camera lens.

E.g. the camera in my smartphone has a 8 megapixel (mp) resolution, which means a resolution of 3264x2448, which allows for more detail.

However at 50 feet, a 8 mp resolution still isn't so clear that a person is identifiable, considering that without anti-jitter and at low light levels, the image will still be blurry.

Cameras do the best with detail with portraits, up close.

At 50 feet, picture detail is compromised by low resolution and jitter.

Thus, taking pictures of State action with a smartphone at a distance of 50 feet of more isn't actually illegal. Given the quality of the image, it's possible to create reasonable doubt about anyone identified in the picture.

Therefore, it is imperative for social activists to enforce a 50-foot rule for known agents of the State. However, this means ponying up money to pay for this right.

Laughter The Strongest Medicine on the Planet (humor)

"Laughter is one of the strongest medicines on the planet... If it's strong enough to kill an orgasm, surely it's strong enough to kill cancer." -- Lotus Weinstock

This is unauthorized memorial and remembrance dedicated to Lotus. It is based on my experiences watching two videos on Youtube, the first by Lotus and the second by her daughter, Lili, as well as reading Rob Weide's eulogy of her at his Duck Production website.

Fame for a comedian is like a degree to a doctor," Lotus would say. "You can't practice without it."

As a humorist, Lotus has the funny yet graceful humor, which tickles my funny bone. Her most funniest shtick was "How to Use Body Signals a Man Can't Resist". It was so funny that it endeared me to her.

As a humanist, she was willing to help out complete strangers, often homeless people, some of whom stole from her due to their own issues. Asked when she would stop to helping people who might steal from her, Lotus replied, "Until they don't need to steal anymore."

Later in life, Lotus remarked, "I used to want to save the world. Now I just want to leave the room with some dignity." Indeed, she lived in dignity, and her comedy acts treated others with dignity.

When a well-meaning deranged fan of hers wrote a threatening letter to Joan Rivers in response to Rivers declining to write a forward for Lotus' biography, only to have a bumbling private investigator morph her friend into a "drugged-out roommate" and incriminate her, just so Joan was getting her money's worth.

In actuality, Lotus was innocent of any wrong-doing and her friend was anything but a drug user.

Thanks, Lotus, your love lives on in the many lives you touched, through your caring towards strangers living in abject conditions, and through your comedy acts courtesy of Youtube.

"When I get to heaven's gate
and my life is reviewed,
I know that my saving grace
will be the love I have for you."

Lotus Weinstock, RIP 1943-1997
