This Is The Life I Want.


So for those of you who don't know. Barstool Sports is the reason I started this blog. I 100% think I can write for them and contribute in a big way. The Stool is a Boston based blog that just blazes the trail for 3 things: Sports, hot chicks, and stupid internet shit. The head honcho at La Stool is Dave Portnoy aka El Presidente. Shit has sort of hit the fan in Boston. A bunch of "Occupiers" who have nothing better to do are taking some complete satire waaaaay out of context and using it as some sort of protest rallying cry. It's weird honestly. The debate boils down to whether or not you think The Stool is condoning and promoting a "rape culture". Which it certainly IS NOT. The fact that it is being associated with "Rape Culture" is seriously discrediting the level of fucking hilllllllariousness that goes hand in hand with Barstool.

 On a fundamental level, Barstool is a fucking blog meant to make people laugh and move on with their goddam day. It's a local inside scoop with enough flair worth sharing with your friends. Not some goddamn manifesto being forced down the hormone raging bros of New England.

El Pres handles himself pretty well here. Weird emo bitch getting all up in his face and the mob mentality stopping him from speaking. But, Pres did something like this with Occupy Boston. He went around and just asked questions intended to point out the irony associated with the entire idea of what the "occupy" movement was all about. And he did a pretty good job.

To be clear, NOBODY at Barstool is "pro-rape". Period. No person with a sound mind is trying to support rape. Done. No more discussion. Rape is absolutely the most disgusting subject to discuss and 100% not funny. The jokes that are being made aren't geared toward promoting rape. Anything else you hear I can guarantee is not accurate. I've been reading the Stool for like a year or so now and Pres might talk like a Masshole but he isn't forcing it on any broads. I mean have you seen his hair? Nah, but seriously, Does barstool poke fun at touchy subject? Sure. Do they find themselves in hot water because of it? Absolutely. But is it all in good fun. YES. They only posts "smokeshows" that want to be smoked. Girls who know they're hott and don't care who knows it. Yeah, that's not the life we hope for our sisters or daughters but it is 100% a reality. Their "Guess That Ass" is all from paparazzi and twitpics posted by actresses and pornstars who are posting that shit on the internet anyway. Barstool is just skipping the middle man so you come read they're other stuff. It's the same way gas stations make money. I know you gotta come here to fuel up, and I'll break even on that but maybe, just maybe, you buy a candy bar, some cigs and a Purple Drank on your way out.

But THAT STILL ISN'T THE POINT. Everything they say is a bit tongue and cheek. It is comedic writing and meant for entertainment. Nobody is expecting a pulitzer (maybe a baby Brady howitzer).
It's funny. That's all. If you can't take all the terrible shit that happens to your fav sports team or on your local news and try and laugh it off, then fuck you. The world is a scary fucking place and it's places like The Stool that remind you it's OK to laugh at it once in a while. KO Barstool is protesting for the sake of protesting. And we're gonna keep laughing for the sake of living.
