Editorial

Welcome to Issue 9 of Capital of Nasty. No, we are not dead as it probably seemed. We were patiently awaiting for an article in regards to Star Wars, just to keep the entire issued themed, but since it never made it to our mailbox, it will just go as is.

Garrett Winters writes in regards to our comment in the Editorial:

This issue is secretely dedicated to the folks subscribed to the Def Con 7 mailing list. Be good. Obey street signs. Read CoN.

I do read it, and when I see sly little messages like this one I get curious. What exactly is Def Con 7? and why is this secretly dedicated to them ( don't you think that by virtue of the act of telling us that it would nullify the secrecy of it all?) :)

True, but if we did not mention this, we'd never have proof that you actually had read the issue, right?
Beside, Def Con 7 people know who they are. ;-)

June Donaldson tells us what she thinks of CoN:

sorry, too boring

This type of comment proves why I need to scan my ass and forward it.

J. Bell from Communist Idaho, comments:

Nice, very nice. Once again, it's time for me to write a response to your previous responses to CoN. I think you guys should just let me have a section of CoN every issue where I just make the pity fools who write these ignorant replies feel even more stupid than they actually are... oh yeah, that's already a part of CoN. ;) Anyhow, I just feel the need to drop a comment or two.

Bryan Newman states:
Anyone who "eats" at Subway must be Very Stupid.

Well, dammit, I happen to like Subway. Of course, I live in a whole different part of the country, in a nice little rural town, so there might, or might not, be a reason to differ there. But hey, Brian Newman is still an idiot, so it's doesn't matter.

_the_devil_you_know protests:

"Brought to you by C.C.C.P. (Collective Communist Computing Proletariat)"

What the fuck do you mean by Communist boy? We beat them godless

I do believe the Bolshevics believed in God.

Bolshevic arseholes into submission.

Then why the hell is there any such thing as "war with a Soviet country" if the Bolshevics were beaten into submisison by whoever "we" is?

You better remove that offending word or I'm gonna get all NATO on yer ass.......

Would he be referring to the same NATO that has been bombing some 3rd world country for a month just to save some no-name minority that has already been pushed into another country? The same NATO that is obviously doing minimal damage this 3rd world "army"? That "army", by the way, is also a former Soviet [Bolshevic] country, who, according to one dumbass, was beaten "into submission" already. But, of course, who really knows, or cares, what the hell is actually going on over there.

USA: WE ARE THE MIGHTY AMERICANS. WE TAKE SHIT FROM NO-ONE.
ESPECIALLY THOSE RED-ASS COMMUNISTS.
CHINA: Kiss our asses.
USA: Ok! Would that be with tongue or without?

It's sad that the USA probably really is the best nation to call your own, isn't it? Well, excluding Canada, who had nothing to do with anyone or anything except the NHL ;)

Ben Popken questions the possibility of submissions:

Am I, as a reader, allowed to submit articles?

While CoN is non-profit and can't (at the moment at least) pay for any submissions, articles from our readership are welcomed. Nicci's and Roshni's, for example, are readers turned writers, and their articles appear in this issue. Authors retain full copyrights over the articles.

You misspelled my name yet again! Now I'm going to have to kill you slowly and painfully...

While we await our slow and painful death, we conclude this editorial with an e-mail from El Gardo:

campus i overhear comments from young girls like "Oh my gawd is it POSSIBLE to look like that?" "I'd kill for a body like hers", etc.

I've been living in North America for three and a half years. Of these 3.5 years, I have spend 1.5 years in Atlanta. And I have already forgotten what a wonderfully diverse world we have. So it felt really good to go to New Zealand for a few weeks. My American friends started talking about how ugly the girls were... within a week and a half, they said they had counted only four women who looked any good. I was just SCREAMING.... WHAT!!??!?!??? I was in HEAVEN! And the girls they were pointing out were rather dull... But then it occured to me... back in the US, everybody is striving to look exactly the same. So many people have the mentality that there are standards for what looks good. And that anything that ISN'T within that standard, is ugly. And it hit me that, while there are people from all over the world in the US, they pretty much look exactly the same! It gets awfully boring, believe me! In New Zealand, the vast majority of the population is British, but the VARIETY of people, how they looked, is just incredible compared to the US. Perhaps it is just me, but I welcome this variety. I welcome the fact that nobody looks like the next person. And I see the beauty in all of these people. When I get back to the US, I know I'm going back to one of the most boring places in the world, where everyone look the same. Even though... I know a place up in Roswell, where the Columbian waitresses look a little different...

Every sub, with the one exception of tuna, tastes exactly like every other sub.

Actually, the only reason it tastes the same is that you keep ordering the same ones, with the same stuff on them... I can walk in and order pizza sub every day for a week, and still have them taste different every time, because I change what I put in it besides the cheese and salami.

I can't help but wonder if Yule has been entirely lost on the human race.
I mean... it has become less and less about giving, about enjoying the night together as a familiy and care about eachother. Instead, these Christians are pushing in, changing the name to "Christmas" and start yabbing about this JC Penny guy from Israel! I WANT MY YULE BACK!!!

My question to you is, where did this Jesus guy come in???!?!

3. How May I Help You? Or The Day the Information Booth Exploded
By Samantha Stasiuk

Next time, I'd like to see an article about "how to approach, pleasanty surprise and sweep the feet off beautiful information booth employees". :^)

Our next issue, hopefully publishing in time, will deal with the plague.
