By CoN Staff

Welcome to Issue 8 of Capital of Nasty.

Issue 7 broke the tradition of silence from our readership and we had a 
response record never seen before.  Our first writer is Angela:

> [...] 
>
> Hokay back to reality and men are not scum.  I quite like them.
> There are times, however, where i'm sure we have been wired very
> differently in the brain and that can be quite heartbreaking
> sometimes, usually just frustrating.  There are things about men
> that i just do not understand and probably never will. But it is
> important to keep in mind how differently the genders are
> socialized!  Certain behaviours are encouraged of us growing up and
> this explains a lot of our thought processes and attitudes.  Oh
> well. They already did the whole Venus and Mars thing.  I can

> couple of those things confuse and frustrate me too, but it's just
> not that cut and dried.

> Have you seen the commercial, i don't even know what for, where the

> Actually, he's watching, eating chips, and she's reading some Cosmo

> choice of a couch potato boyfriend.  Then this music comes on, and
> the potato dude transforms himself (in the girl's gaze only).  She
> looks at his belly, and, to her delight, it transforms into a
> washboard stomach.  His "wishy-washy" eyes change to bright
> piercing blue, and so on (then he comes to her to whisk her away
> and when he's right in front of her changes back to boyfriend with
> a thunderous belch). 
>
> You know what Leo?  I was fucking OUTRAGED!  That is just
> disgusting.  You know why?  Cause what the FUCK would chicks say if
> the commercial featured some DUDE watching his girlfriend as she
> transformed into some fucking Barbie doll? No, the advertisers knew
> better than to fuck with that, right? So we don't get treated to
> the sight of the girlfriend turning 'look-at-me' blonde, her waist
> sucking in, her tits growing into delightful D cups, etc. on her
> way to becoming the Ideal Woman.  They do a twist on that, and
> think it will appeal to us!  I think that commercial is fucking
> insulting to men AND women alike, and i guess that's why i can't
> remember what the commercial is even flogging.  The advertiser is
> probably just trying to balance things. Perusing a magazine rack on
> 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.
> and a quick scan of the racks reveals more gratuitous chest shots
> than i care to think about.   It doesn't matter whose self-esteem
> is being undermined, or that women's is thought to be more fragile,
> that commercial is just plain unhealthy. 
>
> Off of my soapbox and into the fridge for some dinner,
> I remain,
> ME!


It was said, in our last issue of CoN, that no letter would be made fun 
of in the Editorial: we lied.
Brian Newman also adds his few cents:

> Anyone who "eats" at Subway must be Very Stupid.

Yes, you're absolutely right.  Only a total fucking moron would eat at a 
Subway.

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

How do you know this?  Why, you must have eaten there!



Ben Popken replies to Samantha's "Happy Easter" article:

> Samantha, you state:
>
>     "I can't help but wonder if Easter has been entirely lost on
>     the human race.  I mean, they did it to Christmas.  It became

>     up our overgrown socks.  Where the hell did that theory come

>
> You make a very good point about the emptiness of Easter and even

> So, in the end, who's to blame? 
>
> Everyone. Everyone is guilty of devaluing the nature of religion.
> Except for me, i don't practice Easter. 
>
> I'm an atheist. I keep Christianity pure by not corrupting it with

>
> But I still get to buy all the chocolate at 75% off after Easter.
> Yummy.

Or, How I Stopped Worrying and Learned to Not Care About My Job

By Jason MacIsaac

	The other day I was in a mall near where I work, when I saw 
something that prompted me to write this.  This has been a long time 
coming actually, and had I not seen what I'm about to discuss, something 
else surely would have made me put these words down.

	In the middle of this tiny, insignificant mall, there was a small 
stand erected by one of those "We're Not A Rip-Off!" phone companies.  
You know, the ones that offer you "345% off long distance, no calling 
circles, and we promise we won't screw you this time."  Working at 
this... well, what do I call it?  It's not a booth, not a kiosk, just a 
freestanding wall with photos of the celebrity spokesperson (and her ugly 
necklaces), and a small podium/display case thing.  Let's just call it a 
display.  Huddled behind the very poor protection of the display was a 
young woman, about 17, wearing the cheerful red and white uniform of the 
company, trying desperately to hold off tears.
	An older woman, probably in her early thirties, was berating the 
young woman.  It was the young girl's job to promote this thing, which 
the public at large already regards pretty much as an incredible scam.  
The young woman had been trying to hand out these sad little leaflets 
encouraging people to sign up, when this older woman had obviously taken 
exception to some policy or other.

	Now from what I could tell, this woman hadn't actually signed up 
for the "Steal your money!" special, she just wanted information.  And 
she kept hounding the young girl over and over again, trying to get 
answers which the girl, who had probably about ten minutes worth of 
training, couldn't supply.  The older woman was driving towards the 
brilliant conclusion that the whole thing was a scam, a rip-off, a lie.  
This young girl was desperately trying to defend her position, which just 
wasn't defendable.  She was trying her best, but all she had was the 
half-assed promo talk, which can't stand up to anyone who thinks about it 
for more than ten seconds, let alone attacks for five or ten minutes.  
The young woman became more and more flustered.  People in the mall, 
seeing her stress, were starting to gather around.

	I was meeting my friends, who came at about this moment, so I don't 
know exactly how she escaped.  I just saw her a moment later, talking at 
a pay phone, her school windbreaker over her "I'm so perky I could just 
shit" uniform.  She'd left the booth/display/whatever unmanned.  I don't 
think she was walking out... but away from her job she looked a lot more 
calm... peaceful.

	The girl obviously had a shitty job, working for a shitty company.  
Just as obviously she just wanted to make some money for the summer. Or 
perhaps she was saving up to go to college, or university.  Maybe she 
wanted a car.  Maybe she just wanted some pocket money to hang out with 
her friends.  Or maybe she was supporting an awesome crack habit.  
Doesn't matter.  The point is, I see this sort of thing all the time.  
I've experienced it more times than I can count.  And I remember, 
standing in a different but equally dippy uniform, talking to customers 
who were berating me, wishing desperately that I could be somewhere else, 
anywhere else, but feeling trapped, because that's what I was.  I 
remember trying to hold back tears and explain something I did not 
believe in, a decision I was powerless to change and was made by somebody 
else who was not there.  

	I remember the great joy when I finally worked it out.  You see, I 
was making the same mistake those big-mouthed customers were making.  I 
was confusing the individual with the organization.

	If you go into your local fast-food conglomerate and you're not 
happy with the price of the chicken nuggets, be sure to complain to the 
cashier.  They'll get on a phone, call head office, who will immediately 
patch their call through to the CEO, day or night.  They'll say "A 
customer says that $2.99 is too much for six pieces of chicken fat."  The 
CEO will say, "By God, you're right Alice," (the CEO will know the 
cashier's name), "Ask them what price they think is reasonable, and then 
half it."

 	Psst--That was sarcasm for the uninitiated.  Stay awake, there's 
more where that came from.

	For those of you who didn't get it, the people you actually deal 
with in any given business have absolutely no power to alter the policies 
of the company.  They can't bend the rules, they can't break them, and 
they certainly can't change them.  They may agree with you totally, but 
can't do a damn thing about it.  Still, that doesn't stop a lot of 
people, such as the older woman I just described, from trying.   This 
causes a great deal of stress for employees, who have to enforce stupid 
policies for suited morons who imagine they know what life in the 
trenches is like.  I can remember cold sweat bursting out of every pore 
as head office described a hideous new procedure that both we and the 
customers would obviously hate.  Our pleas would fall on not just deaf, 
but dumb ears.  In fact, even customer complaints were often ignored by 
these bozos, for reasons I will get into some other time.  For now, know 
that many people every day are forced to put on uniforms which make their 
customers want to take them as seriously as someone wearing a straight-
jacket, and explain policies like "We put broken glass in all our 
hamburgers now" and furthermore, "that's how people like it."

	That is the sort of activity which drains you of all morale, of all 
self-worth.   You feel like a liar and a crook, but you can't even fall 
back on telling yourself you're a good liar and crook. Anyone who's 
worked a really shitty job knows what I'm talking about.

	Then one day, I figured it out.  I had been drafted to a side I 
didn't believe in.  I was here for the money, I wasn't here for the fun.  
I didn't like the customers, and I liked head office even less.  So I 
became a sort of draft-dodger, or pacifist.  I couldn't win the battle 
for the customers or head-office, even if I did actually believe in 
either side, which I didn't.  So I just stopped fighting.

	So I would recite the company line.  "We do such-and-such-and 
such."  Customers would say, quite correctly, "That's idiotic."  To which 
I had two responses.  "Yeah, I know," or "Would you like to speak to the 
manager?"  Okay, I had a third response for my nastier moods.  I would 
say, "What do you know about idiotic, asshole?  You don't even work 
here."

	Response one was excellent for communicating the truth to the 
customers.  A few simple words conveyed the message:  "Yes, I know it's 
stupid, but it's not my decision.  The only reason I'm telling you this 
is so I can keep drawing a paycheque.  If you want someone to do 
something about it, you've got the wrong guy."  You have to be careful 
about going too far though.  A lot of people make that mistake of going 
further and adapting "The I only work here" attitude.  Managers get all 
pissed if you show you don't care.  Oh, some of the smarter ones know in 
their heart of hearts that if you won the lottery, you'd be back the next 
day to wipe your ass with your uniform (watch it doesn't give you a rash) 
and give everyone the finger.  But they hate it when you display it.  
You've got to keep giving the impression that you would personally donate 
all the spit in your body to help put out a fire that was burning the 
place down.  A good impression to give is that false humility.  You're 
too low on the Totem pole to understand why the policy is the way it is-
obviously if you did, you'd be a manager.  Which brings us to response 
two:

	"Would you like to speak to the manager?"  Very few managers have 
the courage to realize, let alone admit, the truth.  Head office and 
other forms of upper management are insane.  They have no idea how to 
manage human beings, let alone a business.  Any and all progress a 
business makes is done by lying like hell to head office, disguising the 
facts, or better still, telling them nothing.  Most managers are forced 
to swallow the company line.  So they defend it like mad.  Even to their 
employees, who know better.  It's fun to watch a customer repeat 
everything you said at the staff meeting when you explained that the idea 
would be about as popular as a home circumcision kit that didn't pass 
through safety inspection.  Don't go saying, "I told you so" though.

	By instantly surrendering, you let the stream of responsibility 
wash over you.  It's quite comforting.  Stress melts away like ice, and 
you'll feel free again.  It's like a Taoist teaching.  You can't reverse 
the direction of a river.  Why try?  Why not drift down it, and see where 
it takes you?

	Someday, I hope that young girl will realize that she does not 
deserve the stress.  I wonder if she left that booth empty, just running 
away from it all.  Unfortunately, there's only more to run to.  You're 
unlikely to escape, so you must adapt.  I hope she's out there now, 
collecting minimum wage, still working for that obnoxious long distance 
company.  Only now I hope she's lying on her back, letting the river wash 
her along peacefully by saying, "Of course it's a total rip-off.  So, can 
I sign you up?"

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

Warning:  The following article contains a disgruntled employee griping 
about work-do not read if you don't want to put up with complaining!

So, this issue is on "people who are too nice".  Well, living in a small 
town, and working at the local mall, I encounter this every day. 
In fact, I AM, ashamedly, one of those people.  I have to be in order to 
keep my job.  Sometimes I hear my own sugarcoated voice and want to 
vomit.  But, the yuppies around here seem to appreciate it.  Working on 
the days when I have gotten two hours sleep, and am loaded up on coffee, 
my job is especially hard.  Someone asks me where the washrooms are, and 
I want to tell them that "we have no fucking facilities here-go pee in a 
bush".  But instead, I smile sweetly and point them the right way.  They 
then turn and walk in a completely different direction.  In my fantasy 
world, I lunge across my desk, grab them by the neck, throw them to the 
floor and say "didn't you fucking hear me? I said they are that way!  
Here, I go out of my way to prevent your bladder from bursting, and you 
dismiss my advice and walk in an alternative direction?  Are you a 
complete moron?  What the hell is your problem?" I then beat them 
senseless and walk back to my desk as though nothing out of the ordinary 
has occurred.  But this never happens of course, because I need the 
money.  So I just sigh and sit back at my computer.

Of course, then there are the people who REALLY try my patience.  They 
walk up to my desk, with its big sign proclaiming "INFORMATION BOOTH", 
and ask: "excuse me dear, is this the information desk?"  Well, what the 
hell do you think that sign says, lady?  Can you read, or do you have the 
brain equivalent to that of a two year old?  "Yes ma'am, we are".  I 
pause, eagerly anticipating her next question.  (Well, not really 
eagerly, I just have to look that way).  She then looks at me and says, 
"Oh, I just wondered."  As she turns and walks away, I have to restrain 
myself from charging at her with my letter opener.  Seeing her blood 
splatter all over the over-shined marble floor, however, would be of 
little compensation.

Next come the strollers, which are my favourite.  As a free service 
(promotion time-come to my mall!), we provide shoppers with strollers.  
They come up to our desk, leave a piece of identification (which I 
quickly make copies of-just kidding all you paranoid parents out there!), 
and we give them a key for their stroller.  It is locked up about ten or 
twenty feet from my desk.  Now this is where people get confused.  Would 
one not assume that they unlock the stroller themselves, therefore they 
must lock it back up before returning the key?  You would think so.  But 
no, the lazy asses leave the stroller in front of my desk-they can't walk 
ten feet-and hand me the key.  When I inform them they must lock up the 
stroller, they give me a confused look.  Now, maybe it's just me-after 
all, I have graduated from kindergarten- but I don't find this a hard 
concept to grasp.  But for some reason, these people do.  Sigh!   
Sometimes I think they are the ones who need the strollers, and I would 
like to bash their skull in with one until the cheap yellow plastic 
breaks (which wouldn't be very long, come to think of it.).

And then there are the people on the phone.  Now, it's a lot simpler to 
sound sweet than to look it, so I have an easier time answering the phone 
than speaking to people in person.  Also, I can put people on hold.  Now 
there's an incredible power to have over someone.
"I'm sorry, sir, but I don't feel like dealing with your shit right now, 
can I put you on hold?"  They then get to sit and listen to cheesy easy 
listening music for as long as I'd like to torture them.  As their ears 
bleed to Michael Bolton's highest pitch in "How Am I Supposed to Live 
Without You", and Kenny G holding notes only dogs can hear for 50 minutes 
at a time, I surf the net or flip through a magazine, enjoying every 
moment.  When I am ready, I can pick up the phone and say, "sir, I'm 
SOOOOOOOOO sorry about the wait.  What was your question?"  Too bad that 
can't be done to the hundreds of fools who come up to my desk each day 
and ask where the information desk is.

So, people, I implore you: Be nice to the information desks in your local 
mall.  We deal with idiots all day, and the last thing we need is another 
idiot coming up to our booth.  If you are pretty sure you already know 
the answer to your question, keep it to yourself.  If you ask the 
question out loud and realize just how stupid it sounds, then do not take 
it to that lone person trapped behind the desk. Lock up the strollers 
when you are finished with them.  And if you just want to know if we ARE 
an information desk, go with your gut feeling, and just assume that we 
are.   Otherwise, "welcome to our mall, how may I help you?"

4.  Higher Education (My Ass)
By Leandro Asnaghi-Nicastro

It's the end of a semester and exams, final assignments and presentations 
are due.  You've spent the last week revising your project, a project 
worth more marks than the whole year put together, making sure everything 
was set correctly, debugged and tested and you are ready to go.
Everything should go just fine.

Or so I thought.

In my presentation I got criticized down to the clothes I was wearing. 
This coming from people wearing clothes that would make roadkill look 
elegant.  

As the co-ordinator sat there criticizing my clothing (black shoes, black 
pants, white shirt, green sweater), in walks a professor (late) wearing a 
bandanna, short biking pants, hiking boots and a stained shirt.  Oh-kay.  
That's a fashion statement, forgive me.

We were to start at 8:30. At 8:30, beside the anally retentive (and 
particularly bitchy this morning) co-ordinator, there were a total of 4 
students and 2 professors out of the 6 that were supposed to attend.
We had to present while people kept walking in, right in front of us.  

One of my team members got into an accident and arrived late.  We got 
criticized for that too.  As if.  

As we all know, power gives everyone such an incredibly big hard on,
one idiot professor started making comments like "If you want a mark,
you'll have to give me the project on your zip disk" even though the
files were clearly stored on the server as instructed.

And since we had not been slaughtered enough with their nasty comments, 
they had to sit there and nit-pick on all the things we did (specified by 
our clients, I may add) that to them, OH-GRACIOUS-NEW-MEDIA-GENIUSES that 
they are, found incorrect.  Frankly, I don't give a shit if you don't 
like the shade of blue we used.  The client does.  Fuck off.    

Best of all, I got the shaft because the computer I was doing my 
presentation on was not set up correctly.  Something they should've 
thought of before.  Yet I get accused of being unorganised for not 
testing it before.  Well, geez, it works on EVERY other computer in this 
class, BUT that computer, I wonder how I was supposed to know.  

8 months to go to get an incredibly stupid piece of paper on something I 
already know, taught by the most incompetent professors ever, ones that 
make the those in the "Institute of Advanced Learning" (one of those 
little basement buildings that teach you the same stuff in only 3 weeks) 
possible competition.  I am stunned.  Higher education my ass.  

Bitter.  But still determined.

5.  Die Motherfucker Die!
By Pat Adams

With murderous intentions, I think of all the people that have been 
unkind to me. I think how nice it would be to reward their actions with a 
living hell. I'd like to make every second of their pathetic little lives 
unbearable, watch as they squirm in their agony. Watch them twist and try 
to break free of the vice that squeezes them. The more they struggle the 
worse I'd make it. Flesh screaming from the pain, mind in turmoil from 
its flesh being burned away. Bodies broken, mangled, defaced, bent into 
most unnatural positions. But no, physical pain would be an easy way out 
for them. I must destroy what they love, defile what they hold sacred, 
and ridicule the beliefs that are the foundation of their very being. I 
must make them feel the loneliness, despair, anguish, and fear that I 
have felt. Their willpower will blow away like dust in the wind, and they 
will be broken. Nothing but a shell of a human figure. Hearts broken, 
will to live gone. Then they will realize their error, but it will be too 
late. Judgment will be made on what is left of what might have laughingly 
been called a soul. Their heart, blackened by hate and anger, will show 
the marks of hellspawn, and they will burn for eternity, an eternity of 
repeating past mistakes, and having their actions pointed back at them. 
They will learn, but too late, for they have become worse then those they 
abuse. People will curse them in many tongues, and their memories will be 
defiled and will become parables told to children, dire warnings of what

into the wounds caused by them. Revenge will be sweet and it will be 
mine!
