Is it just me, or is Mrs. du Toit’s online Christmas card mind-numbingly hilarious, on multiple levels?

I’m not sure I see what you mean. Unless you find the obscenity disclaimer just above the card, the concertina barbed wire holiday lights, and the black ops soldiers carrying candy canes funny. (I’ll ignore the irony of the holiday message).
I agree with Sean about the barbed wire on top of the White House. And in her photo she looks just like Linda Blair in ‘The Exorcist.’ Fitting.
I didn’t find it funny on any level. Maybe it’s me. Maybe I’m grumpty today. The lights didn’t look like barbed wire until Sean suggested it. Is that her house? Does she live in a fantasy world where she’s the First Lady? It’s not funny, it’s just weird.
Jesus Fuck, who cares! Why are you obsessed with this woman who runs a 7th rate blog no one reads until you send them there? It’s worse than salon.com.
Welcome back, Mr. Mosey. We’ve missed you.
Mosey u suk u fag ur probly an old dude wit one leg or somepin go eat Osamas balz or whutevr u do when ur not sniffin ur momz panteez |||||| nice FONT tags BTW u loozr learn semantic HTML or maybe ur 2 bizzy fingurin yer hole
Now that’s wrong on many different levels. Funny, but wrong.
I really wish she would take that picture down. It’s the first thing you see as you wait for her poor layout to load and she’s very scary.
See, I found the humor in the “Glad tidings to all” bit. I have a feeling that if Mrs. DuToit met me in the street, our meeting would probably end with her kicking me in the shins. Glad tidings and good will is the last thing I’d expect to see coming out of her with resepct to most people.
Melissa: Exactly! That’s one of the main funny things. That and the White House as the symbol of Christmas. And a Christmas message from an atheist. And animated candy canes. OK I’ll stop now.
Oh yeah. The athiest thing. I don’t know how I didn’t pick up on that, being an agnostic and all. I must be blocking her out. Animated candy canes aren’t wrong with respect to DuToit, though, I must say. They’re just wrong in general.
With her being an athiest and everything, maybe the White House and all it represents is her psuedo-god. She does seem to hold it up as infallible.
Maybe I’m overanalyzing the athiest Christmas card. Wouldn’t be the first time.
I think her atheist camouflage is that she claims not to believe in God but keeps talking about things being SACRED and HOLY and advocating for every repressive cultural and governmental action that crystallized my atheism so many years ago. She wants everything the most repressive fundamentalist Christian wants, but she just wants it without God, since she’s got it all figured out. I hope her new rolled-back government takes her kids away and puts them in a fat camp. Just for the irony.
And now she says she’s shutting down her blog! Will wonders never cease. Or at least, that’s what I would say if I actually believed she was shutting down her blog.
That’s the problem with Janey-come-lately webloggers and online journallers: they don’t understand the concept of a sustainable readership. In order to have something continually fresh to say, you have to look at yourself and your world in a fresh manner, and to share information with your audience for *their* benefit as well as your own. My gut tells me that, in the end, her vitriol and her inability to deal with the world she’s found herself in have proven to be her undoing.
As someone who was here before her, and who will be here long after her, I can’t say the passing of her site saddens me.
Maybe she’s an “Egg-nostic?”
Her card is terrible and so, so wrong. She needs to learn the age-old web-design mantra: when in doubt, simplify. And wasn’t this kind of use of animated gifs outlawed at the last UN convention? It’s so… one tracked. Republican and crap.
Even if it’s childish to say she’s not so attractive, I refuse to believe that there isn’t a better picture of her in existence. But I guess photography skills and web design skills are two sides of the same coin…
It IS childish to comment on her appearance, but it’s kind of fun, after years of right-wing personal attacks like knee-jerk response to Michael Moore — “Michael Moore is fat.” Or as Adam might say, “Fatty Fatty Boombalatty’ as hate speech.”
