This week, Facebook made some changes to their layout, and like every time Facebook makes a change, major, minor, or somewhere in between, people immediately cry and ask for it to be changed back, and make ridiculous threats like “I’m quitting, they’ll lose so much money!”. Sorry… WHAT money will they lose? And you do realize how little Facebook means in the grand scheme of things right? Buckley takes on the crybabies in this week’s Dose of Buckley.

A Dose of Buckley #57 – September 11 (10th Anniversary)
Posted in A Dose of Buckley with tags 10th anniversary, 9 11 2001, 9 11 2011, 9-11, 9/11, A Dose of Buckley, angry comedy, Dark Humor, New York, NYC, rant, ranting, September 11, Terrorism, Terrorist Attacks, Twin Towers, Where were you on 911, World Trade Center, WTC on September 11, 2011 by adoseofbuckley10 Years ago today (unless you watch this on a different day), the World Trade Center was attacked… and while so many specials and newspapers and other things will go on to talk about what a horrific day it was in history (and it was, don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying it wasn’t), if you take a truly rational look at it… what impact has it REALLY had on every other human in the WORLD? How is YOUR life different? And do you really care? Be absolutely honest with yourself, how often do you really think about not just the event itself, but the people who lost their lives, and their families? How does that effect your ability to watch Modern Family on your 52″ TV while stuffing back a bag of Doritos?
It’s the most polarizing Dose of Buckley to date, and can be seen/heard below:

It most definitely is NOT about the Pittsburgh Steelers, and to give you completely irrefutable proof, here’s a Musical Autopsy.
A Dose of Buckley 48 – Gas Prices
Posted in A Dose of Buckley with tags A Dose of Buckley, Africa, angry comedy, Comedy, Dark Humor, Don't buy gas day, Fuel Prices, Gaddafi, Gas Prices, High Gas Prices, Libya, Middle East, Oil Prices, Oprah, Oprah's Book Club, Petroleum Prices, rant, ranting on May 6, 2011 by adoseofbuckleyGas prices have got completely out of hand… I filled my car up the other day at 137.7/litre (Americans: quit your whining, that works out to $5.21 a gallon, and you think your prices are high), meanwhile everything I read on the news is about oil prices going down based on lower demand. It doesn’t matter who’s to blame, the important question is, who can fix it? Certainly not me, and CERTAINLY not the people who try and create “Don’t Buy Gas Day” events on Facebook… but I know someone who might be able to help. Find out who by watching below:

What makes this a real issue is that Muslim women who wear Burqas are breaking the law simply for practicing their religion and preserving their culture. Is France in the wrong? I don’t believe so… watch and find out why.
A Dose of Buckley 45 – Slutwalk
Posted in A Dose of Buckley with tags A Dose of Buckley, angry comedy, Dark Humor, London, Ottawa, rant, ranting, Rape, rape prevention, sexual assault, sexual assault prevention, Slut Walk, sluts, Slutwalk, Slutwalk 2011, Slutwalk Toronto, Toronto, Vancouver on April 4, 2011 by adoseofbuckleyI feel like I haven’t REALLY offended anyone in some time now. Not that it’s necessarily my intention to do so, it’s more a byproduct of the way my mind works. Anyway, if I don’t this week, then it’ll only be because no one’s viewing this.
The Slutwalk took place this weekend in Toronto. What’s the “Slutwalk” you ask? Well, it’s a protest brought on by the whole York University thing, where a cop came in and gave a presentation on preventing sexual assault and said that you could do so by “not dressing like a slut”. Apparently this is the wrong attitude to have, because it blames the victim. I don’t feel it blames the victim any more than telling people to stay out of the African jungles if they want to avoid being eaten by lions. Sure they shouldn’t tell you where you can and can’t go, but it’s advice you can take or leave. Anyway, watch the video for my full rant:
