Self-discipline is for the birds!
Days ago it was revealed here, with much sadness, that surfing superstar Kelly Slater’s social media behavior may change as he posted the cover of a self-published e-book he appeared to be reading titled How to Build Self-Discipline: Resist Temptation and Reach your Long-Term Goals on Instagram.
His 3 million fans wondered if the 11x World Champion would cease getting in fights with those who believe the earth is flat etc. across his own, and others’, Instagram accounts.
Much worry creasing brows as Slater’s opinions, his authority on matters ranging from cryptocurrency to electric cars is legendary as is his willingness to freely debate.
Thankfully, it only took three days for the oft-Pipe Master to get back to form and this time the international press picked it up.
Let’s read together.
Surf legend Kelly Slater finds himself in a bizarre social media fight with fans on an Aussie satire site – as he vows not to have the Covid vaccine so he can ‘get antibodies naturally’
The Betoota Advocate on Sunday shared a satirical article about a father who was proud after stinking up a toilet, prompting Slater to comment ‘Dads have no shame’.
But although the story was unrelated to Covid-19, the 11-time world surfing champion was quickly targeted by a man who accused him of posting anti-vaccine content over his social media pages.
‘Aren’t you the fella who shares anti-vax nonsense on social media? Seems like you have no shame either,’ the man wrote.
Slater became defensive, explaining he was not against vaccinations but feared the jab had not been thoroughly tested.
‘Why does this account always end up with these triggered, b***y people who can’t take a joke? And second, I’m not anti vax. I’m anti mandating medical procedures. But I’ve never even pushed that,’ he wrote.
etc.
My favorite parts are:
-Bizarre social media fight.
-Satirical article
-Slater contribution “Dads have no shame.”
-“Slater became defensive.”
-“Triggered, bitchy people who can’t take a joke.”

Favorite dad part is where Slater as a dad completely abandons his daughter. And any other kids he’s fathered along the way. Super.
Narcissists make terrible parents because they lack empathy.
I don’t know how I got here but I want out
Kelly will be fine with not being allowed entry to countries that mandate the yellow fever jab?

As with all vaccines
If you’ve had the vaxx, what do you care if Jimmy the Bi hasn’t??
I don’t want this one because.
Covids ain’t deadly or deformative.
The vaxxes I’ve had are proven and are for serious life threat illness
Why do we care?
Maybe because we care about the greater community, not just ourselves?
Fuk that
That’s what Jim Jones used to say
He is just a rich surfer. It doesn’t mean that he or any other famous surfers have any brains.
Loath for me to be saying this, but I think it’s time we moved on from KS. I may not be a fan but I think this may be getting out of hand.
Also, I have a theory as to why he’s so vocal. Remember back when he was sponsored by Quick? Rarely did he ever do interviews or engage with people he didn’t need. Was quite the elusive enigma. No, however, he basically sponsors himself. His companies aren’t exactly world crushing household names are they. Even those in the surfing world, most have probably never heard of them (I’ve actually forgotten right now). So what better way to self promote and grasp at relevancy then to be picking popular Insta accounts and leaving remarks. Guarantee he was given this tip from someone in marketing.
Don’t forget he dosent work.
Lottsa time on his hands to play the flute
Playing the ol’ night flute to sleep?
Or whenever the mood strikes.
I believe he should return to his original love of acting,
CSI OAHU. Perhaps.
Or
ENTOURAGE 2
Kelly as matt warshaw
Sam masakela as Kanye west
Eric Logan as Elo
Chas Smith as turtle
TOOOTLEY-TOOT!
Florida man gets into internet fight!
This is ridiculous, Kelly Slater is barely a dad.
I’m for the vaxx, in a few months/years there will be a lot less VAL’s to contend with
I’m for the vax – equally, I’m for KS’s ‘opinion’ or stance on it.
Gabriel Medina Orifice?
Can we get some investigative journalism into which other pros / former pros are against vaccines now that Slater and TB have opened the floodgates?
I’m for everyone else getting it.
The meek will then inherit the earth as planned
We are kind of on the same page. I am anti gov’t dictating which medical procedures I can/cannot have.
what are you looking for that they wont let ya? i can help. competitive prices.
Skin whitening/darkening?
Well let’s see – euthanasia, abortion – well that one is till legal for now, but it’s a fight…
Those two should be my choice, not dictated by the gov’t
You’ve gotta be a Seppo – “Liberty or Death!”
I got a compulsory Polio shot when I was a kid & I can categorically say I’ve never had Polio!
Not speaking of covid vaxx or other vaxxes, I’m fully jabbed – moderna. My 12 yo daughter is next.
Anyone who is aware of the number one issue that drives our politics, then you’ll know what I am referencing.
My favourite part is, if Kelly’s arguing on a thing called the ‘Betoota Advocate’ (and perhaps thinks it’s real), there’s still a strong chance he’s rattling around here somewhere…
He’s chas smith
Must have confused him with Dr. Burrows
Did they not realize that I was available to hawk their wares????
And for the second time in as many weeks (months, maybe?) I will say…
Kelly ain’t wrong.
what i don’t get is why such scrutiny is afforded to coronavirus and its vaccines, but nothing else?
people drinking bright green energy drinks and smoking ciggies wailing about needing to know what’s in the vaccine before it goes into their body?
for crying out loud, gimme a break
Cause you can shit or piss or cough it out. Unlike the spike
im pretty sure you cant cough out the damage that ciggies do to you.
huge if true.
It’s true, when I smoked I coughed up brown stuff
Now I don’t I dont smoke or cough anything.
i had the vaccine then immediately got hit by a bus. totally fine walked it off. super
Now you’re talkin.
Cognitive dissonance.
Willing marks for every low-intellect, pro-lazy bullshit snake oil marketing fart out there.
How about this…
Instead of wearing a mask, cowering inside, eating junk food and watching fear porn on the “news” maybe the message should have been for people to get fit.
Monster energy has yet to stop the Planet in its tracks.
yet
One can at a time…
What’s the world coming to?
A fucked up mess.
You are thinking of that Michelob Ultra Pure Gold. Never tried it myself.
