Regrets? He’s had a few

The young doctor This post, by pseudo-academic, racist wingnut and man-of-a-thousand-insane-blogs “Dr” John Ray, is the most unintentionally hilarious thing I’ve read in years.

Ricky Gervais, eat your heart out.

UPDATE: I take it back. His poetry is even funnier. Here’s a taste:

SWEET MUSIC
Ting tong, tingtong
The air melts in song
The song of sad happiness
The song of old sadness

Slow, fast, slowfast
The word of the last
Man on earth singing
A song heavenwards winging.

Vogons the universe over are writhing in disgust.

Further reading: The Happy Revolutionary demolished John Ray in this post last year — still a terrific (and amusing) read for those who haven’t seen it.

Thank’s for the link, Ant.
The crypto-fascist poetry is truly execrable:

In your Roman nose is pride that never dies
And your heart is pure as your supple skin is fair.

The ideal woman - pure-hearted and, uh, fair-skinned.

The gap between rightist dogma and genuine fascism gets closer by the day, with the AWH guys openly linking to the white supremacist ‘Anglo-Australian Council’ as it they were an authoritative source:

That poem is almost as good as:

“Pointy birds”
O pointy birds, o pointy pointy,
Anoint my head, anointy-nointy.

Another racist fuckwit once described John Ray as “an avatar of wisdom and an inspiration” (in the comment thread here). It’s fair to say I nearly laughed a brand-new hole in my arse.

Wah, that’d be the work of England’s greatest one-armed poet, if I’m not mistaken.

It’s one thing to say you like chicks with blue eyes, but it’s another to sprout the desire for an Arian nation.

The fact he had to qualify himself as “not really a racist” by crapping on about his love of India shows that even he thinks he’s a bigited fuckwit.

I’m not sure what’s funnier: his invocation of the feeble “how can I be racist if I’ve got brown friends” defence, or his shameless begging for a D.Sc from his three alma maters. Champagne comedy.

Wah

thanks for a classic piece of Steve Martin (I cannot remember the film, was it the Man with 2 Brains?).

I always thought it was a, ahem, dirty little ditty but maybe that’s just my own perverted mind.

SWEET MUSIC
Ting tong, tingtong
The air melts in song…

In the same calibre as:

Hear the words I sing
War’s a horrid thing
So I sing, sing, sing
Ding-a-ling-a-ling

Rick from The Young Ones did better poetry than John Ray’s.

I like traffic lights
I like traffic lights
I like traffic lights
But not when they are read

Heh. And here I am mocking the poor bloke with typos in my own comments. For shame.
The Editor (Wednesday 30 January 2008, 7:02 am) #

I prefer the ambiguity of “read”.

I seem to remember Ralph Wiggam from the Simpsons penning a much better verse which went…
“my ding-a-ling
my ding-a-ling
I want you to play with
my ding-a-ling”

Is this guy really getting around with a baloney Dr. title?
Oh those zany right wing loonies, it’s only a matter of time before right wing ideologies are given their rightful place as a recognised thought disorder in the diagnostic and statistical manual (DSM)isn’t it?
THR (Wednesday 30 January 2008, 7:22 pm) #

The DSM already has them well covered…

‘Schizophrenia (with Paranoid features)’
‘Histrionic Personality Disorder’

And I’m sure there are plenty of others. Of course, sheer fuckwittery needn’t have a medical title attached to it to be diagnosable in these guys.

My favourite bit of (Dr) Ray’s article is this paragraph:

And because I have explained to him how to make money on the stockmarket, my son should have a financially comfortable future. What millions of people would like to know my son just got told casually one morning by his father. As a certain wise Jew once said: “To him that hath, more will be given him”.

I just love the way that JR so casually implies that he’s cracked the stockmarket and that the secret can be communicated while eating cornflakes. He should have another PhD just for that.

Then there’s the quote. John, John, John. (* Shakes head *) It’s bad enough that you beg for honourary doctorates but — for fuck’s sake — comparing yourself to Jesus?
Which one is Pink? (Wednesday 30 January 2008, 9:24 pm) #

Maggie from Extras on the stockmarket:

“Buy high, sell low… No no no Buy low, sell high!”

Pretty fucken simple. Johnny.

Now let me get back to having a lot to do with those from the female persuasion. Although it is pretty hard being surrounded by brown men all the time who, may I add, are: tall, well built and socially pleasant.

Looks like AWH are fighting back, and have issued a bounty for the Grods team:

The rightist’s call is clarion
Slowfast, tingtong, and Aryan

As Hayek and Popper (both Austrians and both first hand observers of the rise of fascism) pointed out there is not a massive difference between national socialism and state socialism, and to point it out gets you only abuse, but then again Marx was never a philosopher was he?

Ill give you a clue, road to surfdom and the chapter on the socialist roots of nazism, by Hayek just after the war (thats nobel prize winner Friedrich Hayek, for the uncultured)

btw do you guys understand the difference between culture and race?

HOW NICE OF ME, IVE FOUND YOU AN ONLINE LINK TO THE SOCIALIST ROOTS OF NAZISM

G’day Sean. What are you talking about?
The Editor (Thursday 31 January 2008, 7:41 am) #

Perhaps Sean lost the point of his comments when he lost his apostrophe key.

THR, about that bounty — Panday’s post reads like an entry to an “Illustrate hypocrisy in 40 words or less” competition:

Interesting, the kind of mutual, online masturbation in which Grod and the Pollutionary engage. I’ll buy a bottle of Scotch for anyone who can publish their photos (complete with captions implying pedophilia) and home addresses.

This, at a site where most of the contributors cross-post and link to each other’s appalling blogs incessantly — under initials and pseudonyms, with avatars of stills from 300 and the like.

My sides!

That’s great stuff. How dare you denigrate such finery?!
