In Gene Simmons boring-as-all-get-out quest to be surrounded by big boobs and controversial statements, he's dropped us a few lines (via Blabbermouth) about the war in Iraq, as well as some stereotypically misogynistic shots at gender/sex.
Let's start with the war. Gene seems partially incapable of "thinking" but also lacks an understanding of these things called "history" and "details."
In addition, he's political but says he's not political.
Finally, these comments came just before he railed on "celebrities speaking out about their opinions on the war," seriously.
Rather than trying to regurgitate Mr. Demon's brilliant thoughts, I'll just let you read them for your own damn self:
Gene Simmons: Well, I think everybody in America is on crack, and believes that you can go on your summer vacation, you fight a war and you come back. This war will continue for generations, and it has nothing to do with tanks and guns. It has to do with winning the minds and hearts of young Muslim people so that they don't choose 9/11 kind of behavior. It's the dark ages, this idea that you can go there for a few years and come home. We have been in Korea for decades and we should continue to be there until a new generation comes in and just finally gives up. You've got to fight the war like The Cold War; be there as long as it takes, and finally Russia lays down its arms.
PR.com: Do you think this all goes back to the United Nations giving the Jewish people the state of Israel?
Gene Simmons: Well, let's not go there. It's too political. The problem is not Israel or anything else. People hate each other and have for centuries. Actually, ever since we started walking the earth. One cave did not like the other cave. They were taller or shorter or fatter or darker or lighter. Human beings can barely get along.
Hey, maybe all that crack explains why America is watching your reality show Gene.
As for women, Simmons is just as harsh. Here he lays the groundwork for what I like to call, "lame," but also for some kind of alpha male stereotype that he seems to believe makes him the greatest person pretty much ever.
In addition to his aforementioned lack of understanding on topics like history and thinking in general, now he seems to completely misunderstand high-school level biology.
PR.com: Do you believe women are designed to be married?
Yes, [women are] biologically designed that way. You nest. You lay your eggs... I mean talking bird language... you lay your eggs and you build your nest. You want the white picked fence. Neither is good or bad. It's just what you're designed for. During the month, during a thirty day period, you drop one or two eggs. That's it! Every day we make hundreds of millions of sperm in the same time it takes you to make two eggs. We're tens of billions of sperm. Either that's a great cosmic joke by God, or it has something to do with the blueprint of what we do.
