Shay Sorrells and Daniel Wright voted off The Biggest Loser

To me, 2009 is a year of shocking reality TV eliminations. What a shockfest that is. Shauntina "Shay" Sorrells, who is the heaviest contestant in Biggest Loser history, got voted off The Biggest Loser ranch, in a double elimination. This is my most shocking elimination in Biggest Loser history, but not my most shocking reality TV show elimination (which is Jasmine Murray's elimination on American Idol season 8). Earlier that night, Daniel Wright, the season 7 contestant who inspired Shay, also got eliminated. Daniel was previously eliminated in week 4 of season 7. When Shay started the Biggest Loser competition, she weighed 476 pounds. She lost 100 pounds during her nine week run on The Biggest Loser ranch. Since being on The Biggest Loser, she lost 150 pounds. When Daniel first started the Biggest Loser competition he weighed 450 pounds. Since being on The Biggest Loser, he lost 230 pounds.

Michael Irvin voted off Dancing With the Stars

Last night, Michael Irvin, an NFL hall of famer, known as the "Football Playmaker" got voted off Dancing With the Stars in a double elimination. Throughout most of the competition, he came in last place with the judges, but not during the week of his elimination. Later that night, Mark Dacascos, who came in last place with the judges, joined him for the double elimination after a dance off against Aaron Carter. I was pulling for Michael Irvin from day one. Every reality television show has a shocking moment, but this is not my most shocking elimination in Dancing With the Stars history. My most shocking elimination in the history of the series is Toni Braxton's elimination in season 7.

October is domestic violence month

October is domestic violence month. However, the domestic violence industry is corrupt and anti-male biased. It is a regression in civil rights progress since the Jim Crow era. The domestic violence laws have lost civil rights. False allegations of domestic violence and the abuse of domestic violence laws are a growing issue to me. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) is out of control for several reasons. One reason is because it has been effective in stopping domestic violence. VAWA provides incentives to file false allegations and to break up families. It has failed to deliver its promises to women and ignores women's preferences. It spreads one-sided and anti-male biased information. It has allowed states to stretch the definition of the phrase "domestic violence" to encompass virtually all forms of family disagreement, including shouting. VAWA promotes marriage fraud and immigration fraud. It promotes the issuance of restraining orders, even when there is no physical violence. It funds destructive mandatory arrest policies, such as "no drop" policies and "primary aggressor" policies. It biases the judiciary.

The purpose of the domestic violence fraud is to defraud men out of their rights. Men were once in charge of their families and things were much better, and men did not have to endure feminist rebellion and women knew their place in the family. Before feminism came along, there was peace and order, and children were not as rambunctious as they are now. Many of society's ills are caused by radical feminists, who are bent on deposing men of their God-given rights of being household heads and put women on the family pedestal.

I have had enough of women making false allegations of domestic violence or other relationship crimes. These allegations get in the way of real victims of relationship crimes. The relationship justice industry has been flooded with false and trivial allegations of relationship crimes. Therefore, domestic abuse fraud, which is rarely suspected and rarely detected, must be removed from our society.

Malum in se vs malum prohibitum

Malum in se a Latin phrase referring to crimes that are innately evil from the nature of the crime, without any notice of it being punished, based on English common law. Common law crimes are malum in se crimes. On the other hand, malum prohibitum is a Latin phrase that refers to crimes that society decides are wrong for some reason or lack of reason but are not innately evil. Malum prohibitum crimes include public order crimes and cultural taboos. Simply because something is legal does not make it right. Just because something is illegal does not make it wrong.

Malum in se: murder and manslaughter, rape, battery, assault, child abuse, theft (such as burglary and shoplifting), driving under the influence (DUI), robbery, extortion, kidnapping, fraud, deceit, forgery, counterfeiting, embezzlement, arson, vandalism, terrorism, genocide, treason, crimes against humanity

Malum prohibitum: speeding, parking violations, driving on the wrong side of the road, copyright infringement, drug possession, not wearing seat belts, indecent exposure, having a broken tail light, smuggling, trespassing, doing certain things without a license, selling certain things to minors, food and drug regulatory offenses, tax law violations (such as tax evasion), publication expressing discrimination, animal cruelty

You make the call: abortion, defamation, usury

Malum in se offenses are usually felonies, and they sometimes involve violent and nonconsensual activities. Malum prohibitum offenses are usually misdemeanors and usually involve nonviolent and consensual activities. However, more people are incarcerated for malum prohibitum offenses than for malum in se offenses. Malum prohibitum cases are naturally more likely to inspire claims of mistake of law than malum in se cases. Defendants in malum prohibitum cases can claim that they were unaware of the illegality and the wrongfulness of the offense, but those in malum in se cases cannot.

Feminism has in part caused increased prevalence of malum in se incidents and excessive or unconstitutional malum prohibitum laws.

Vitolio Jeune has been voted off So You Think You Can Dance

First it was Jasmine Murray and now Vitolio Jeune, thus both missing the top 10 on their respective competitions. So You Can Think You Can Dance season 5 is American Idol season 8 all over again. I am shocked that Vitolio Jeune has been eliminated from So You Think You Can Dance competition, and Kupono is overrated. That is just as much as I was shocked about Comfort Fedoke being eliminated before the top 6 last season. Vitolio's original dance partner was Asuka Kondoh, who was eliminated last week. This week, he did the Quick Step routine, which is a kiss of death routine.

I hope next year, my luck will change on reality television. I hope next year, my first pick on American Idol season 9 and on So You Think You Can Dance season 7 both make the top 10. I do not want 2010 to be 2009 all over again. 2009 is a dark year for me when it comes to reality television. However, the good news is that I will not have to work on the day after this shocking moment. If my first pick (or favorite finalist of the season) misses the top 10 on two more consecutive seasons of American Idol, I will quit watching the show for good. The same will go for So You Can Think You Can Dance.

Michael Jackson dies

An extreme tragedy in the music industry has occurred. This is one of the most horrific tragedies in the history of the music industry. The King of Pop Michael Joseph Jackson has died of cardiac arrest. This death has shocked the entire world. He changed the face of music for good. He may be gone, but his music, legacy, and influence on pop culture will still live on. I am a big fan of Michael Jackson myself. My favorite songs from him include "Off the Wall", "Rock With You", "Human Nature", "Heal the World" (which I performed at a state mental institution), "Remember the World", and "You Rock My World."

In honor of Michael Jackson, top 13 performance episode of American Idol season 8 performance, which was originally broadcast on March 10, 2009, would be rebroadcast on June 29, 2009.

TZ Doctrine tenet #21: Reality comes before ideology

Common sense comes before business sense. Scientific accuracy comes before political correctness, and doing otherwise is politically correct nonsense. The media these days seems to be more interested in political correctness than in scientific accuracy. That is destructive and divisive, and is politically correct nonsense. Putting political correctness ahead of reality or scientific accuracy is a politically correct nonsense and a threat to civil liberty and constitutional government. There are special interests groups within the United States and Great Britain that would love to see those nations fail, and the Americans and the British are cursed with federal governments that do not listen to them. Regardless of how the elections turn out, the special interest groups always win. The United States was once a government of the people, by the people, and for the people. However, after many years of corruption and bribery, it has degenerated into a government of the special interest groups, by the special interest groups, and for the special interest groups.

Freedom of speech means the freedom to saying anything as long as it is the truth. It does not exclude anything that might offend others. We have the extreme right, comprising of social conservatives who attempt to legislate against what they find to be morally objectionable, and the extreme left, comprising of social liberals who attempt to make everything politically correct.
I am opposed to hate crime laws that are based on false premises or violative of the First Amendment. The hate crime laws I am opposed to include religious hate crime laws, such as a law against quoting a passage in the Bible in Church.

There is the gender wage gap myth. Our society teaches that a female employee makes 75 cents for every dollar a male employee makes. That figure is repeated as a mantra and blindly accepted as true, but in reality, it is evidently false. That figure is misleading and dishonest because it does not compare male and female employees of equal experience. Female employees work an average of four and a half years less than their male counterparts. The factors that determine the pay rate include education, job experience, and job choice. There are 80 jobs in which women on average get paid more than men, but they are mostly traditionally female.
