Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking/Other Media

""The longer you live, the more you look around, the more you realize; something is fucked up. Something is wrong here. War, disease, death, destruction, hunger, filth, poverty, torture, crime, corruption, and the Ice Capades.""
 * You'll find some of this occasionally across TV Tropes, many of which are Potholed to the main page.
 * Including the name of the trope.
 * The "Real Life" section of TV Tropes' Knight Templar page, alongside entries on Joseph McCarthy, Tomas de Torquemada, and other historical villains, has a complaint about members of social justice movements being impatient and snarky with people who don't share or see the importance of their causes. Seriously.
 * Literary magazine N+1's about page: "Interns are involved in...research, fact-checking, proofreading, publicity, mailing, distribution, web administration, and bartending."
 * Comedian George Carlin did this during one of his rants about God in relation to the state of the world:


 * Not to mention the immortal (and 100% NSFW) routine "The Seven Words You Can't Say On Television":

"You wanna know what they are? There's seven of them."


 * The revised version of the list is even better: is exchanged for "fart," which as Carlin points out couldn't even be alluded to on TV at the time he performed the routine (whereas all of the others could be referred to with some kind of euphemism).
 * In one of his books, he mentions a news story of two men who were arrested for forcing a little boy to smoke, drink, and perform oral sex on them. "Can you imagine?" he comments. "Smoking!"

""Something Awful is a cult that supports drug use, rape, racism, illegal use of firearms, harassment, piracy and child pornography.""
 * A hilarious quote from a New Media Are Evil website that quite obviously Did Not Do the Research:

""AND NOW THEIR FACES ARE COVERED WITH SHIT AND PISS AND CUM AND ALSO SWEAT- OOH SWEAT, SORRY. NO SWEAT, SWEAT'S DISGUSTING.""
 * Billy Connolly once read out a lengthy and utterly hilarious business card that began with this: "Albert Richardson Nelson, 1952 East Belfast. Film and TV VIP, Seeker of the Peace, Part-time Chandelier Cleaner..."
 * British comedian Marcus Brigstocke in a bit on global warming: 'Listen, there's a lot China doesn't do that's worth our while. Democracy. Human rights. Cheddar. There's three.'
 * Also, from one of his Now Show rants against religion: "The Bible contains examples of acts of wanton genocide, infanticide, fratricide, straight murder, rape, pedophilia, enslavement, brutality and sexism. The Qu'ran has beheadings, underage sex, mysogeny, and Mohammad was an Illiterate."
 * Jeff Dunham let Walter, dressed as Santa, answer questions from the public. To the question "If you could rename your reindeer, what would you call them?" Walter ansewered: "Moron, Dimwit, Numbnuts, Pinhead and Chuck."
 * Gilbert Gottfried's version of The Aristocrats joke:

"Do nothing I cannot defend; cover, write, and present every story with the care I would want if the story were about me; assume there is at least one other side or version to every story; assume the viewer is as smart and as caring and as good a person as I am; assume the same about all people on whom I report; assume personal lives are a private matter until a legitimate turn in the story absolutely mandates otherwise; carefully separate opinion and analysis from straight news stories, and clearly label everything; do not use anonymous sources or blind quotes except on rare and monumental occasions; no one should ever be allowed to attack another anonymously; and finally, I am not in the entertainment business."
 * Inverted in this MLIA post.
 * The Unfortunate Name of this poor child: Jesus Joseph Dewey.
 * On this article, a music critic listing the weird/awful stuff in which Motley Crue was involved, does it twice: "Vince Neil killed Nicholas Dingley of Hanoi Rocks in an auto accident.. Tommy Lee served time for beating up Pamela Anderson... Nikki Sixx served as songwriter for hire to Meat Loaf, Faith Hill and Tim McGraw... Vince Neil's ex-wife accused him of spousal abuse... married family man Sixx slept with tour drummer Samantha Maloney and slammed her for it on his website after the fact... and what the hell is that thing sitting on top of Mick Mars' head? Is that hair?"
 * A Daily Mail article discussing the Glee episode "Britney/Brittany" said it was accused of promoting "Drug use, masturbation, and burlesque". Sure, burlesque is a bit risque... in a 1920's sort of way.
 * An io9 article on improbable natural disasters asks, "what would happen if the moon disappeared?" It goes on to describe the resulting earthquakes, volcanoes, chaotic changes in the Earth's rotation with all sorts of weird consequences, and then ends with "it would also be harder to see at night".
 * Steven A. Grasse's "nonfiction" book The Evil Empire: 101 Ways That England Ruined The World is chock-full of this. He accuses England of everything from World War I, World War Two, Islamic terrorism, and the Opium War to the Piltdown Man hoax, homosexuality, the Industrial Revolution, and *gasp* knighting Elton John.
 * From a recent issue of Readers Digest: "Three Reasons to be Happy: The divorce rate in the United States has fallen by 13 percent since 2000. The average credit card debt is under $5,000 for the first time since 2002. Scientists have discovered that gorillas play tag."
 * In the very beginning of Richard Dawkins' book The God Delusion, he asks the reader to imagine a world with no religion. A world without suicide bombers, crusades, witch-hunts, middle eastern conflicts, persecution of jews, the troubles in Northern Ireland... and no shiny-suited bouffant-haired televangelists.
 * Not to mention the book's Long List which has been quoted countless times, in which he says, "The God of the Old Testament is arguably the most unpleasant character in all of fiction: jealous and proud of it; a petty, unjust, unforgiving control-freak; a vindictive, bloodthirsty ethnic cleanser; a misogynistic, homophobic, racist, infanticidal, genocidal, filicidal, pestilential, megalomaniacal, sadomasochistic, capriciously malevolent bully."
 * This review of The Cabin in the Woods notes that the cast is forced to fight "endless evil, including — but not limited to — zombies, aliens, fearsome monsters, graves, ghosts, grim clowns, grim reapers, dead-eyed dolls, SWAT teams, janitors, more zombies."
 * MacNeil/Lehrer Journalism consists of the following principles:


 * A t-shirt marketed by the producers of Helluva Boss lists the locations for Verosika's Hell Tour (Verosika being a succubus, pop star, and antagonist on the show), most of them being cities in the Seven Circles of Hell: Pentagram City, Pride; LDS Satanio, Wrath; Beelzehaven, Gluttony; Mint City, Greed; Crystal Stadium, Lust; Levitowne, Envy; Dreamsville, Sloth; and finally, Florida. Possibly the concert in Florida was, in fact, where the episode "Spring Broken" actually took place.
