Before I start, I would like to congratulate Chelsea Clinton, the daughter of one of the best South Park Characters of all time, "Hil-Dog," for announcing her pregnancy. Moreover, I would like to talk about why the hell this is the internet's NUMBER ONE "news story" while East Europe is on the brink of a major war. For those that don't know (I'm praying that is only Peyton, and maybe Gaither), East Europe is on the brink of war. Tensions have been flaring, people have been dying and states are declaring themselves as part of Russia. It's a total fucking mess.
In the latest chapter of the Ukrainian crisis, flyers found in Donetsk (a city in eastern Ukraine), called for all Jews age 16 and older to register with separatists, list real estate and vehicles they own and pay a special tax, or face deportation, loss of citizenship and confiscation of their property. On top of that, they would have to pay a $50 fee to register the information.
Fortunately, I must ad, that neither government is taking responsibly for the flyers, suggesting that "its was three radicals wearing balaclavas that distributed the repulsive demands." These three radicals are also believed to be apart of a surprisingly big Pro-Russin movement in Donetsk. I don't care who threw up the flyers, government or no government, this is how genocides and wars happen. A country overthrows their leader, another country gets involved, and BAM! a radical coup has thousands upon millions of innocent people persecuted.
I don't know about you guys, but I feel this is a little bit more of an issue than Chelsea Clinton's baby bump. Hopefully we can adjust our priorities before the unimaginable third world war begins (although T-shirts that read "back-to-back-to-back world war champs" would look pretty cool).
