HAPPY COLUMBUS DAY, MOTHERFUCKERS! It’s a day when we celebrate a guy who magically discovered a continent where people already lived! Anyway, in honor of this day, we here at Bop Marry Kill have decided to do an entry where we look at two people and one group of people that have been credited with discovering America. We begin with the group that seems to have the most science on their side when it comes to actually having discovered america, The American Indians. Then, we look at the guy of the guys in this that I’d least want to engage in an actual fight with, Leif Ericson. Finally, we look at the man who for some reason we have all been TAUGHT discovered America, Christopher Columbus. Let’s get into it.
First up, American Indians.

Why you should bop them:
Do you know how the first Americans got here? There are three possibilities. 1) they walked across the Bering Strait when the tide was low enough that you could walk across. 2) they walked across the fucking FROZEN Bering Strait. 3) they traversed one of the most dangerous stretched of water on earth in boats and shit. NBD. The first Americans were some tough mother fuckers, and regardless, they crossed the Bering Strait because their food sources did. Because these guys weren’t pussies, they chased their own food.
Why you should marry them:
These are hearty people who knew how to survive. And isn’t that really what the whole concept of marriage is about? Working together to survive? Or something. Anyway, the people who came over to the Americas from Asia made it hear for up to 100,000 years and made the wilderness livable. You totes want them on your side for eternity.
Why you should kill them:
I don’t know. To finish the job the founders of this country, and its leaders during the 19th century started, I guess. If that’s your thing. Which it probably shouldn’t be.
Next, Leif Ericson.

Why you should bop him:
Uh, he’s a fucking viking. If you don’t, hell make you.
Why you should marry him:
He’s got Serious viking pedigree. He was the son of Erick the Red, and he had some serious power. He was charged with bringing Christianity to Greenland. Seems like a pretty big deal. What I’m getting at, is there would be money in it for you if you married him. Money and power.
Why you should kill him:
I don’t know. He probably raped and pillaged a few northern European coastal towns. Plus, people who think it’s their duty to spread their religion to new places are by and large total douchebags.
Finally, the big man today, Christopher Columbus.

Why you should bop him:
Are sailors supposed to be good at doing it? I thought I read that somewhere. Otherwise, I don’t know. He was some wimpy Italian dude with a lot of money. I guess if that’s your thing, go for it.
Why you should marry him:
The King and Queen of Spain gave this motherfucker a LOT of money to find his way to India. And if money isn’t your thing, well, he’s the subject of a bunch of nursery rhymes about discovering America. Because he discovered America, remember?
Why you should kill him:
1) He landed in the West Indies. 2) He was stupid enough to think that there wouldn’t be something between Europe and India on the West. 3) He was doing this in the name of spreading Catholicism, which we discussed before. 4) Genocide. 5) I really could have used the eighty-something bucks I would have made working today.
— The Final Verdict —
This isn’t even really all that hard of one. So let’s just get into this shit dawgs.
Bop: Leif Ericson. 1) He’s a viking, which is probably kind of hot. 2) He’s going to have sex with you anyway, may as well make it consensual.
Marry: American Indians. In a world where money based economies are all going to collapse soon, it will do you some good to be married to the original american survivors.
Kill: Christopher Columbus. Yeah, Catholicism really needed to be spread more than it already had been. And thanks for taking eighty bucks out of my pocket! And life out of all those people that ultimately died because of you, ya fucking dildo!
So that’s that. Who would you bop, marry, and kill and why?
