donald_douglas.jpg Remember Dr. Donald Douglas, the associate professor of Political Science at Long Beach City College who wrote an extraordinarily mean-spirited opinion piece about cancer victim Elizabeth Edwards? (Recap: Edwards believed in God but failed to mention Him in her last farewell, and is therefore a nihilist and so forth) Well, my link to his grave-dancing has earned a spectacular response! After describing Boing Boing as 'vile left-wing demonology,' the thought evidently came to preoccupy him, as he has now posted an enormous image of Cthulhu's gigantic horror cock to his blog. This is apparently to serve as a warning about progressives, but the wide stance adopted suddenly by his hitherto non-dildonic website only validates their supernatural powers. One can only hope his readers (weaned perhaps on the more normative smut creepily objectified as 'totty' on what Blogger lists as his other website) have insurance adequate to cover any non-Euclidean anal fistulae that his next product recommendation inflicts. Previously: Cthulhu sex-toys!

    Lovely, i thought USA was the nation of seperation of religion and state. Yet he manages to claim that Americans expect christian faith (tho other faiths may be acceptable, just show some kind of faith dammit) for their president (and first lady). Facepalm do not even begin to cover it…

    Thou shall not worship false idols! (Such as giant Cthulhu dildos.)

    I swear to God, I never wanted to see these things again.

    But damn, it got some USDA Grade A Wingnut all hot and bothered. Hilarious. I wonder what will make him flip out even more? Monty Python’s The Life Of Brian reshot as gay porn?

  • Andrew W

    I’m surprised that no one has pointed out that one of his “Team Members” is the Great Satan’s Girlfriend, and another one maintains this NSFW blog of middle-aged, breast-enhanced women: http://stormysix.blogspot.com/ Clearly this shows the demonillistifascistness of the pro-victory right.

    hilarious Cthulhu dildos = bad
    soft-core porn = good

    Ahh yes, moral decay, these Cthulhu dildos will contribute to the downfall of our great civilization, whereas giving huge tax breaks to the rich and simultaneously cutting public services for the poor will save us all.

  • Anonymous

    Hmm, I had him for Poly Sci 1 @ LBCC and while kinda conservative he never came off as thickheaded. I remember this was back when CA first was starting to give gay marriage equal standing, and I remember arguing that this first instance was akin to Plessy v. Ferguson and that gays needed their own Brown v. Board of Ed to really make things right. Him being black, the argument was a good teaching moment.

  • mr_mediocre

    For some real yux at the expense of the Donalde, google up “Sasquatch Israel”. The link for Sadly, No! is your best bet.

    “Dildonic” is the best word ever. Maybe a good name for a cock– er, rock band.

  • Anonymous

    Donalde’s a troll, but a reliably stupid one. Hard to sort out whether attention to him is a good thing – yucks at the expense of a dim bulb – or a bad thing – attention given to the most attention-hungry.

  • JArmstrong

    Brilliant. Doesn’t he realize that Cthulu dongs will only enhance his pro-victory status? They guarantee victory!

  • jccalhoun

    Funny how when people complain about how colleges are “full of liberals” trying to “indoctrinate our children” they don’t mention guys like this who are a lot more outspoken than nearly any of the “radical leftists” they like to point out.

    How long until he takes down his “chicks in bikinis with machine guns” site?

    By Grapthar’s hammer, what a douchebag.

  • Flibbertigibbet

    I imagine there will be a lot of disappointed new boinboing readers showing up in the near future. If folks begin grumbling about the lack of dildo-content, we’ll have a good idea who referred them.

    ‘vile left-wing demonology”

    Man, I always thought this site was more whimsical pagan unicornology.

    • knoxblox

      I just have to add…we also know how to spell whimsical over here.

      • Chocolatey Shatner

        We all know the best spelling is ‘whimsicle’

    I feel sad for his students. Where does he teach Political Sciencetology? Beck University?

    • davejenk1ns

      Amen, Foobar. Cthulu scares me as much as the next guy, and I love a good incident of the Streisand effect, but talking trash about partisan bloggers really only results in bringing the partisan dreck home, and no one is the better for it.

    • Anonymous

      Not wish him happy anything. Smiling and trying to be the nice guy toward people like this just encourages them. They think you’re expressing submission. And maybe they’re right.

    I’m definitely not “progressive”… I read boingboing because it’s a directory of wonderful things!

    The Cthulu dildo while not “wonderful” did make me chuckle! One of these days I’ll have to read Lovercraft to really grok Cthulu…

  • pinehead

    Methinks the conservative dickhead doth protest too much.

    It should be common knowledge by now that the one who preaches most loudly does so to drown out his own inner demons. Pointing a trembling finger at Elizabeth Edwards or demonizing BoingBoing only reveals to us the merest whiff of Douglas’ own deep-seated religious doubts and deviant sexual urges.

    Go ahead, Don. Order a dildo. We won’t tell anybody. It’s alright; there’s no god judging you outside of your own psyche.

  • irksome

    “Wide stance…” heh heh. I see what you did there.

    Hopefully wide enough for one of these: http://www.divine-interventions.com/jackhammer.html

  • Jack

    I like visiting that fine person’s web page. It’s like he’s just swiping links from Boing Boing and shoving them through a crazy filter.

  • Commodore Schmilapp

    “Creepily objectified totty”? On a site that just recently linked (favorably, I assume) to “Every issue of Playboy on a hard drive”?

    Hmmm…

  • aelfscine

    He just put up a new post, speculating that we want to murder him.
    As an added bonus, the post’s title “Homocide” cunningly (but subtly) suggests we might be gay as well.

    The man, clearly, is a giant of argument and rational thought. He looks to be moderating comments now, so I suspect anything that mildly disagrees with him will not go through.

    http://americanpowerblog.blogspot.com/2010/12/homocide.html

    • Anonymous

      On the contrary, the title “Homocide,” in the context that we supposedly want to terminate him, cunningly and subtly suggests something else entirely.

  • Cryptic Scholar

    I just feel sorry for the man, he sounds very sad, isolated, and bitter. I do hope that he gets better soon.

  • mati

    No, no! You’ve got him all wrong. He’s just floating Cthulhu Dildo for the Iowa Straw Pole. Finally, an inflexible conservative voice that won’t go all soft the second it gets inside Washington!

  • Anonymous

    OK, that does it- now I have seen everything

  • voiceinthedistance

    Oh, please! “non-euclidean anal fistulae” is becoming such a tired phrase. Every blog I’ve visited today has used that in one context or another, to the point that it’s lost its cachet. At least, Rob, you weren’t discussing household chores.

    irksome: the link to the “jackhammer” dildo is a bit too much for me to assimilate right now. I have a hard enough time with people jamming Jesus down my throat, let alone my . . .

    “Moral bankruptcy” only makes sense if you think morality is some sort of economic system, as our friend Mr Douglas seems to hold. A very strange economic system in which “morals” are like dollars, and you must carefully hoard your money and not go into “debt” too far, or your “credit rating” will suffer. And of course you only pay out your “moral dollars” if you commit arbitrary infractions of rules set down by millennium-old sheep herders, fishermen and ex-tax collectors, I guess. I’m really not following what the man means. It sounds like an obscure MMORPG, actually.

  • Rob Beschizza

    “Homocide” really does sum it up, doesn’t it. It’s barely even offensive or threatening or even attributive, just a kind of muttering unclever pun that means almost nothing at all.

  • Anonymous

    honestly, i think its a shame this man gets any attention at all. he’s truly ill and shouldn’t be in any kind of position where people can hear him at all…

  • Unanimous Cowherd

    Actually I rather like that notion: religion as RPG.

  • TheCrawNotTheCraw

    Oh, gosh.

    NOW, when I think of Dr. Donald Douglas, I’m afraid the image of “Cthulhu’s gigantic horror cock” will forever be associated with the man.

    • Antinous / Moderator

      You mean like ‘santorum’ becoming synonymous with anal froth?

      • TheCrawNotTheCraw

        Yep.

        Douglas already sounds like a phallus, so having his name elicit the image of “Steely Dan V” seems like poetic justice.

  • MarkM

    wow. this guy has been programmed superbly by the hive mind.
    ayn rand fan? check.
    equating anti-bernie madoff sentiment with communism? check.

    i see a bright future for him as guest commentator on a certain
    fair and balanced organ of propaganda.

      “…organ of propaganda” Ha Ha! I see what you did there.

  • ill lich

    “the wide stance adopted suddenly by his hitherto non-dildonic website “. . . heh heh heh, “wide stance”, nice!

    Please don’t be hostile in his own comments, folks: it’s not at all reasonable to expect him to publish it (we wouldn’t!)

    I dedicate this song to Douglas:

    And it looks like BoingBoing got the special tag “moral bankuptcy,” reserved for only the most morally bankupt, i presume. Among the other morally bankupt topics posted are zach galifiniakis smoking a joint and keith olbermann’s political donations.

    The douchebag in question also loves to post soft core porn on his site and then tell his classes that they should read his blog everyday.

  • Swizzlebat

    Uh, okay, I just took a look at his “other” site, and the juxtaposition of one post touting something called “Hero Hugs” (which sends teddy bears to overseas military personnel and features a wholesome retro tween in pigtails hugging a be-medaled plush bear) directly above a leering “Saturday Totty” post is too skeezy for words. Just like our friend Mr. Douglas! Kinda summed it all up for me, frankly.

    I wonder how biased he is in his grading? 5% of a students grade is discretionary. I hope he never becomes tenured.

  • Cappy737

    To use his logic in his critique of Ms. Edwards, I think it is “telling” that he does not list the Bible under his favorite books in his blogger profile. He must be a communist.

  • Anonymous

    Also, he likes “walks on the beach.”

    I am not making this up.
