You know what pisses me off, myspace bulletins that have some stupid bullshit in them that you don't care about with a subject line that's complletely different than what you expected, and then they say something like "message this to 21874 people in the next 5 milliseconds and you will find $5 under you couch but if you don't you will die a slow, agonizing death in 2 hours"
what the hell, this is BULLSHIT! come on people, if you are going to post a myspace bulletin then make it something important instead of "I killed britney spears while running nekkid in a convenience store" and then telling you to make some bulletin based on your b-day that sounds like that. my 2 cents

What the FUCK is up with the Cialis commercials?  They are so wrong on so many levels. 

1) Football is thrown through a tire.  What the F.  Do they think they are clever? If they are going for the "subliminal" message thing, it ain't working, because it is so damn obvious that the football is penis and tire is vagina.

2) A couple in two separate tubs.  I don't even get this one.  Shouldn't they be in the same tub? 

3)  Daddy takes the pill and the college girl comes home and interrupts.  This is disturbing, because the point of it is that he is still ready after the college kid goes to bed.  This means that he had a boner the entire time his daughter was around, cooking, doing laundry, and kissing on his cheek to say "Good night."  You are a sicko.

4) Sink faucet "accidentally" breaks and sprays the mrs. and himself in an volcanic ejaculation style.  I don't even know what to say about this.  The"water" goes everywhere.  I mean, everywhere.  In the woman's hair, fruitbasket,his own head, her mouth...I am speechless.

 There are so many other blatant messages, it is nasty. Waterfalls, water spouts, brow movements...  Also, everywhere...on a picnic blanket, on the beach, at a ranch...PLEASE!  We all know what you did. Stop walking around touching things!

Local News – Weather Coverage Scam Print E-mail

RantRank: 178 - True...true... (64 votes)

As all of you from snowy regions agree, it is important for us to be on a look out for morning snow storms.  We need to look out for school cancellations, road/commute conditions, flight schedule changes, etc.  So, naturally, we all turn to local news for weather updates.

I watch the Fox News at 10 (mostly, because I don’t want to wait until 11).  It angers me to no end that they move “weather coverage” towards the end of the show, just to keep the viewers stuck on their channel.  They also keep people guessing and on their toes, by pretending to start the weather coverage at the beginning of the show, before every commercial, and in between stories.

I know this isn’t a new trick employed by the news station to use the best story to lure viewers.  However, it is too blatantly obvious when it comes to weather related stories.  We are trying to get to bed early to prepare for them storm!  Why do you have to push the weather to the end?!

From Time, Mark Halperin:

 3. The national press will be obsessed with the story for days and days to come, with no downside for Obama; the local press coverage when Kennedy travels for Obama will be ginormous.

Yes, that's right.  He actually used the word "ginormous."  For real.  It's right there, in print, in an internationally recognized news publication.

Let's just be blunt here: he sounds like a fifth grader saying that.  And because of it, I can't take anything else he says in that article seriously.

I don't really follow his column.  I just happened upon it because there was a link to it on the front page of CNN (!).  Maybe it's technically a blog, I don't really care.  Whatever format he's writing in, how can he expect people to respect his opinion when he has to resort to using made-up words to get his opinion across?  Is it some sort of effort to appeal to the youth?  Is he trying to be COOL? 

Get real, Mark.  Act like a professional.  Write like you like, graduated from like, the fifth grade.

New Police Chase Rules - In the Eyes of a Criminal Print E-mail

RantRank: 1171 - True...true... (470 votes)
Submitted by Sneed   

Did people see the Boston Globe article about how the police pursuit policy has been revised?  The article says,

 "State Police officials quietly overhauled the agency's chase policy, placing greater emphasis on assessing the potential risk to the public."

 So, it's essentially saying that there are new rules where the police must stop its chase when they deem it dangerous to bystanders.  Now, let me preface this by saying that these new rules are important for the safety of the public, and they will certainly save lives.  However, I couldn't help it to think that criminals are inserting a few lines into their handbook.  read on.

 
Rule #1 (according to the Globe): "A chase involving a misdemeanor or nonviolent felony must be terminated when the suspect enters a densely populated area or heavily congested roadway."

In the eyes of a criminal, this reads, "When being pursued by the police, enter the most densly populated area or heavily congested roadway, so they stop chasing you."

Rule #2: "The pursuing officer must provide assistance to any civilian vehicle involved in a crash, with assistance to injured people taking precedence over continuing the pursuit."

In the eyes of a criminal, this reads, "When being pursued by the police, crash into a civilian vehicle as hard as you can and make sure you injure them, so the police stop chasing you."

I am sure the actual rules/guidelines set forth by the State Police are more clearly and thoroughly written and communicated.  (In fact, this is probably old news, because I have heard of all these rules before.)  I just had to share, because I have this absurd imagery where I see the criminals scraping against a series of civilian cars, turning into a neighborhood where the kids play with their golden retrievers. 

By the way, my knowledge of police procedures is from watching all of the Lethal Weapon movies, which we all know are completely accurate.  Thank you for listening.

Maybe I'm just being a curmudgeon, but laugh tracks really get on my nerves.  I don't care whether it's a true laugh track or it's filmed "in front of a live studio audience", it just sounds like a cop-out to me.  I feel like they are using the laugh track to compensate for un-funny jokes most of the time.  The worst part is when it turns into an "OOOOOHHHHH WOOOOOOOOO!" track, like when the shy awkward guy character gets a smack on the lips from the popular girl character, which seems to happen at least once per season in every sitcom I've watched.  woooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOHHHHH!!!!!!!!

 Who's with me on this?

Sunday Globe is $2.50 on the newsstand.  If you subscribe to Sunday Globe (that is, have them delivered to home), it is $3.50.  Does this make sense?  Shouldn't something cost less if I subscribe to it?

Oh, my lord.  What's with this radio commercial?  I saw them during the ALCS, and they are so annoying.  Why are there people dancing without their clothes?  Why is this disgusting man showing his crack on television?  I don't understand why this will make me want to listen this radio station.  Don't they wan tto associate good things with a commercial?  I mean...it doesn't even make sense.
