Killing Cats and Sex

Sat Apr 4, 2009, 3:02 PM
Last journal still stands (that is, I'm not really on the Net for a while/may be moving). I'll know more in two weeks. Thanks to an awesomely kind person going out of her way to advise Killian and myself, we might actually be able to work it so we can stay here. That'd mean I wouldn't have to live in a temporary shack, and Kil wouldn't have to go back to Virginia with the car and the pets. And all the other stuff involved would not become more complex and awkward. Which, would obviously rock, but, trying not to get too hopeful til we find out more.
************************************
THIS JOURNAL IS RATED S and R for containing Sexual ad religious content. You have been warned. Please don't view if you are under the age of 18, or 21, or something.

At any rate, we had to run somewhere today, and as the CD player is broken, we've had to settle for the radio. Oh radio music. Though they aren't nearly as prevalent as in Virginia, religious radio stations aren't unheard of here by any means. I like to listen to them, especially when they have the little stories about a kid turning to the darkness because of rock music and their "drug friends", spoken in a rigid voice of someone who you can tell would have an aneurysm over even Warrant's "Cherry Pie". XD Kil always squirms in so much pain though, that I try to only listen to such things when he is out of the car. But man, I love them so!

At any rate, today, he actually landed on one ("Family Radio-Christian Gospel", 91.7 FM, Salt Lake City area, 3:35pm Mountain Time Zone if anyone wants to check on the legitimacy of the following...and you should. Checking things out for yourself helps ward off the below example of blatant stupidity.) and stopped to listen. I think something about the host's slow drawl speaking about the coming rapture amused him. At any rate, after a lot of "and those who think they are saved will realize they aren't saved at the glorious coming of the rapture, blah blah blah I'm saved blah blah blah only I know how you can be saved blah blah blah" nonsense, a middle-aged woman with a watery voice called in. The following is paraphrased, but you might be able to find a transcript online:

Woman: "I've been a believer for a number of years, since the 80s. Lately, I have fallen a bit, but returning to fully practicing the religion has constantly been at the back of my mind. I have these young cats that I've adopted, and with the rapture coming, that will be horrible and painful. I don't want them to go through that suffering. So, I, should I have them euthanized?"

Host: "Well, I don't want to instruct you, but blah blah God will take care of his animals as he sees fit."

Woman: "Well, knowing and believing what you said, and knowing all the suffering that is coming, I just really think it is best they be gently put down."

Host: "Well, in the crazy world we live in, people today love animals very much. If you had your cats euthanized, lots of people will be on my neck, and my message about the rapture will be obscured blah blah blah you have to be the one to choose. Next caller please."

The next caller and the host then went on to talk about those crazy (and Hell-destined by the by) Catholic and Mormon rituals and beliefs. Lately, life has just felt like a bit too much of a joke. The punchlines suck though.

*************************************

And, on a completely different topic, "Green Porno". If you can handle sex without dying or becoming a deranged lunatic or whatever, then watch it:

Between that and all the animal documentaries I've been watching, I'm becoming more and more convinced that animal sex can be handled in a good-natured way, and that it'd be stupid to leave it out from the Asian comic entirely (at least the "adult" version). As would be eating, breathing, and pumping out offspring. Granted, I may be being passive aggressive here. Seeing primate sex censored (yup, big ol' censor blocks popped up)on documentaries that were perfectly fine showing frogs and cats mating has me greatly amused. Plus, sex is pretty awesome.

god haha i never understood why sex is such a taboo subject. it is perfectly natural, and i think that if it's not overly, uh, disturbing then don't see what's the big deal
especially animal sex it's not like, sexual at all in our sense. for them it's just making babies, not porn lol

idk if that made sense at all

that green porno stuff is great though ahha it's hilarious

and the lady with the cats needs to be euthanized herself

:iconkobb:
Let's all have our children euthanized, so they don't have to suffer either. I mean... whut??
Oh, and it's General Conference weekend. That's when all the Mormon-bashers come out in SLC. And maybe religious nuts in general. :roll:

Nature censors indeed. It's such an uncomfortable balance - like with humans, sex is OK and beautiful and everything, yet it also needs to be treated with respect. Interesting too, isn't it, that hyenas tearing a gazelle to pieces is pretty much never censored? At most, it gets judiciously edited so only the most disgusting stuff stays off the screen. And in some societies, showing that is infinitely worse.

(which actually makes me wonder - why not edit instead of putting up a huge censor bar? Seems it would draw even more attention to itself that way)

..."Life is a joke with a bad punchline." That makes me laugh and sigh at the same time. :|

Wow. That's so awesome. xDDDDD


But nature being censorized is so lame and retarded. I've been watching nature shows since I was a little kid and it never was censorized. :/ People are trying to be too politically correct all the time. And it's just kinda irritating after awhile.
:iconwadifahtook:
Haha! Especially those bright, red butts.

Man, while I wouldn't want to ever impose on you by shacking up with you, it'd be awesome to meet you! I think you're about as far away from here as possible if I remember correctly though. But I'll have to head over that way someday. Just think of it. We can spend all day censoring monkeys. XD
:icondroemar:
I think before you think about the "adult version" of your comic at all, you need to go to [link] and look up "Moral Guardians, What Do You Mean It's Not For Kids, and Animation Age Ghetto." Just because America is stupid about their cartoons doesn't mean the rest of the world is. And I really hate to think of anyone being creatively stifled because they think the Christian Lady's Book Club and Ed Snuffington's Review isn't going to like their stuff.

Seriously. While I tire of the ridiculous wolf/dog/human-fanfiction-character rape and/or fetish scenarios that seem to pop up quite frequently online (and sometimes in published books), often as an attempt to make characters "deep", the level some people go to hide sex is deeply amusing to me. Pah, extremes suck.

And true, sex is so instinct driven in most animals, that it lacks the more social add-ons of human sexual behavior. Course, some animals like Bonobos and dolphins have sex all year round, not just as a result of rutting/breeding seasons (plus, many animals pleasure themselves as it were), not to mention the more manipulative social reasons for some animal pairings, especially amongst primates. So, it could be classified as dolphin porn. XD

Isn't it great? The woman in the clips has been in some great films, like David Lynch's "Blue Velvet". If you go to the avclub.com, they also have a pretty cool interview with her about "Green Porno".

The woman started talking about her daughter after the cat thing. She was worried that the daughter wasn't active enough about religion, and didn't want to "make time for this radio show" (Hm, wonder why), and Kil and I both thought she was going to suggest euthanizing her too. She didn't. But man.
:iconwadifahtook:
Aha! That's why it feels like we're back in Virginia this week. On the drive home, we were stuck behind someone who had a huge, wooden cross like, haphazardly tied to the bed of his truck with some twine. XD

Aye, our culture is definitely more willing to show violence then sex (and way more willing to show females as sexual objects then as sexual beings). I'm not much for censoring, especially of the natural world. Then you get more prevalent extremes like the "animals don't have war" people and the "sex is unnatural" people. I'm for allowing individuals to censor themselves (ie. If one is deeply disturbed and offended by people eating peanut butter sandwiches, they should not be made to eat sandwiches or be forced to watch a movie about people eating sandwiches). 'Course, I don't typically approve of such behavior, and try to avoid it myself.

I'll be honest, I don't know too much about your comic yet as I watched you just recently but I hope you don't mind if I let my opinion about including sex into your comic known :)

First, if it is already R-rated (violence, drugs, whatever) then I doubt it will matter if you add sex to the recipe. Mind you, you didn't make clear just how graphic the sex would be.... if it's something deviantART would delete in a heartbeat, that is something I probably would not buy off a shop rack not so much because I feel icky about it but I'd rather people not open the comic and go "OMG YOU BOUGHT THIS WTF!" or stare while I buy it kind of thing. Nor would I feel greatly about reading it online, at least in public. Plus, you'd probably lose a nice chunk of potential readers if it was very graphic.

If it is mildly graphic I doubt I would care unless it had that every single page. Unless it was between human and animal, then I would most likely avoid the comic completely.

That's my two cents :)

Agreed completely! And they aren't just censored, they are dumbed down and hyped up to ridiculous degrees. I could tell if the documentaries were made for a European or American audience before the narrator came on. XD
