With marijuana officially becoming legal for recreational purposes in Colorado, Fox News host and man known to scream his own name during sex - Bill O'Reilly - has made some rather bizarre statements on the new law.
On January 6th, O'Reilly said the following on his own show, The O'Reilly Factor:
"...Let's take it step by step. If you use any intoxicating agent, your goal is to leave reality. You're not satisfied with your current state of mind, you want to get high, buzzed, blasted, whatever. Some adults can handle that on occasion, others cannot, so it's literally Russian roulette, but putting intoxicating agents in the hands of children can be devastating."
Either O'Reilly doesn't know what the word "literally" means or he's not well educated about Russian roulette. I suppose it's also quite possible he's not very cognizant about either. In any case, I'd like to bring Mr. O'Reilly up to speed on the two.
According to the dictionary, literally means, "Actually; without exaggeration or inaccuracy," and Russian roulette is defined as, "A stunt in which one spins the cylinder of a revolver loaded with only one bullet, aims the muzzle at one's head, and pulls the trigger."
Yes, Mr. O'Reilly, consuming marijuana is "literally" like Russian roulette. Given the Fox News host's quote, it seems to me he thinks doing weed is reminiscent of the following scenario:
Setting: At a college student's apartment
Mario Hash: "Okay, guys - here are the rules. I've made six brownies, but only one of them has ganja in it. We'll take turns eating a brownie, before one of us is no longer here - well, in a way, I guess. Are you guys ready?"
::the rest of the group nods::
Mario: "Okay, I'll go first." ::eats a brownie:: "Mm, that's some good stuff. Well, I think I got lucky. I'm not feeling anything. We'll go clockwise, so, up next is the guy to my left - Luigi."
Luigi Green: ::eats a brownie:: "Dam*, man. You sure outdid yourself this time! I think I got lucky too. Whew. Okay, next?"
Yoshi Herbal: ::eats a brownie:: "Whoa! I wish I could eat the rest of them!"
Mario: "Ha-ha! I think we know who found the ganja!"
Yoshi: "Naw, man. I'm just hungry. This is the first thing I've eaten all day, well, since those five Whoppers I had a couple of hours ago."
Mario: "Dang, man. I can't believe how much you've been eating since Sumo wrestling training started. Well, okay. It was just a false alarm, people. Daisy, I believe you're next..."
Daisy Token: ::starts eating a brownie:: "I don't know that I can eat all this, guys. I'm already feeling fat!"
Yoshi: "I'll take that if you're not going to have it, Daisy."
Mario: "That's against our rules! Come on, Daisy - just two more bites..."
::she eats the rest::
Daisy: "Ugh. I feel like I'm going to throw up."
Luigi: "You tend to do that a lot after you eat. Are you a balsamic or something?"
Mario: "You mean bulimic?"
Luigi: "Yeah, well, maybe... So, are you?"
Daisy: "No, I'm neither. I just hardly ever eat this stuff."
Mario: "Okay, I think we know Daisy didn't consume any of the special herbs. Alright, we're down to two. Bowser, you're up now..."
Bowser Inhales: ::eats a brownie:: "Yum, yum, yum, yum"
Mario: "Hmm... Okay. Well, the jury may still be out on Bowser. He certainly seemed to enjoy it, though. Wario, you're the last one. Best of luck!"
Wario Chong: ::eats a brownie and dies instantly::
Mario: "That poor, unlucky basta*d. Well, now that that's over, let's do something a bit less risky and shoot ourselves in our heads."
It's just like Bill O'Reilly said:
"...Let's take it step by step. If you use any intoxicating agent, your goal is to leave reality. You're not satisfied with your current state of mind, you want to get high, buzzed, blasted, whatever. Some adults can handle that on occasion, others cannot, so it's literally Russian roulette, but putting intoxicating agents in the hands of children can be devastating."
Yeah, with ignorance as his intoxicating agent, it appears as if Bill O'Reilly left reality long ago...
