Ever notice how Yahoo! News article comment sections are full of right wing asshole spouting their bullshit? Mean spirited shit too.

I wonder how the rednecks reconcile this "Soooooooooocialiiiiiiiiist ageeeeeeeeeendaaaaaaaaaaaa" with the fact that it's being presented by Keith Urban?

On the other hand, apparently living in a trash can doesn't draw enough attention to the homeless and hunger problem in America.

To be expected from a site that highlights such "news" stories as Do Animals Really Smile? and Holmes' Frumpy Overalls. Not to say they don't provide real news, but it seems like you have to wade through an enormous amount of bullshit at times.

Personally I think it's indicative of how un-cutting edge Yahoo! has become. No one but me and a whole lot of right wing, racist assholes use Yahoo! anymore.

Also, poor hungry muppets. I think this is Sesame Street trying to get back to what the show was when it first began in the 70s... it was set in the ghetto/barrios of NYC. It doesn't seem very ghetto anymore. Plus, it's all about the Elmo and that pink fairy muppet these days. They hardly do anything on Sesame Street anymore. 2/3 of every show is claymation Burt & Ernie, CGI fairy muppets and Elmo.

wow.....there's some pretty bad ones on this article. One cunt made some comment about people who spend food stamps at McDonalds.....as someone who's had food stamps before, I know you can only spend them on uncooked food items.

I used to work in talk radio, and I'd constantly hear these stories about people paying for their groceries with food stamps and then driving off in a Mercedes or some such bullshit. Or someone was incensed that they saw someone buying steak or seafood with food stamps. My standard response was, "Oh, so good quality food is only for the upper classes? If they were buying generic Mac & Cheese and cocoa puffs, you'd be getting on them for letting their kids eat crap, so go buy yourself a steak and worry about the choices YOU make in life." But no, I'M the one engaging in class warfare.

Oscar has been living the poor life forever, why not just emphasize that. Dude lives in a fucking garbage can. Maybe he's too grouchy.

Oscar, and all Grouches, are like gutter punx. They do it by choice.
