Now that has to burn.

Check out this Huffington Post story and be sure to watch the video.

Now that is the Congressional equivalent of putting your balls in someone's mouth after running a 5k.

This made me sad

Sad....because it's true.

Not sad enough for you? Try this one on tough guy..... better get some fucking tissues.



RIP, man in black.

Lazy or incompetent?

So is Apple lazy or incompetent? It is obvious that Apple seems unwilling or is unable to make serious and needed changes to the App Store for their mobile devices. Their latest change is that they have gone through the App Store and removed any "adult" content including apps that feature "women and men in bikinis." How progressive of them, FYI; this is one of those reasons that Europeans think we Americans are so fucked up.

Now, I empathize with Apple in that they don't want to have to field angry complaints from parents about their children looking at boobies on their Apple Device. But how hard would it be for Apple to institute a rating system or some kind of age verification setup within the iTunes store. Your iTunes account could easily be configured to allow/disallow "adult" purchases.

To make things more confusing there is no consistency across all of Apple's media offerings. For example, I can download an explicit Lil' Wayne song about eating pussy from the iTunes music store but I can't have an app that shows me a pussy? WTF! So there are no parents complaining about their kids downloading and listening to explicit music that has been available from iTunes since 2003? Must not be because explicit music is still available today. I call bullshit.

What happens when the iPad launches with it's iBook store, is Apple going to play parent again and ban books for their "adult" content? Will they bend to the will of angry parents that wish to keep growing their mushroom children in the dark?

FOX News FAIL!

Yet another example of of Fox News caring more about making up their own reality rather than reporting the actual news.

Why does Fox News not like Ron Paul....because he's not as crazy or "dynamic" as someone like Sarah Palin.


How sad.

Cubestormer

No matter how many times I watch this video is never gets boring. This thing is bad ass.

She's up...she's Downs....

Yet another example of how Sarah Palin should just keep her mouth shut. She claims to have grown the thick skin required these days to live in the public yet she continues to take things way to personal.

She sure has the temperament for high public office doesn't she....

Liar, Liar Pants on fire.

Glenn Beck may be a blithering idiot living in the center his own reality vortex while it continues to consume the minds of the disenfranchised right but he does have balls. Check out this little slap fight that he started with Rachel Maddow.

Visit msnbc.com for breaking news, world news, and news about the economy



I was seriously concerned that at some point during that piece Maddow was going to have an aneurysm. You have to admire the balls on Beck to do a hack job on Maddow with no remorse. Of course none of his worshipers would bother to watch MSNBC for a response let alone actually care so it's all upside for him.

Too fat to fly.

Talk about fantastic PR nightmares. Director Kevin Smith was ejected from a Southwest flight for some very nebulous reasons but basically because he was considered too large for a single seat as per Southwest's policy. The mainstream media is starting to take Smith to task since he decided to pursue, in his words, "a scorched earth policy" regarding his treatment by Southwest. Smith has a significant online footprint with nearly 1.6 million Twitter followers so when he started seriously trashing Southwest it really got their attention. There has been a lot of inaccurate information out there about the event which could be considered character assassination of Smith. I suggest you listen to his account on his Smodcast podcast #106. The whole thing really is a tale of customer service gone completely awry. Smith clearly was not in violation of Southwest's policy which is intentionally vague to protect them from being at fault for some kind of discrimination.

Southwest should be ashamed of themselves for forcing their employees into a situation where they are basically publicly shaming people. Allowing someone to board a plan, stow their luggage, and sit in a seat before telling them that they are too fat to sit in that seat is just wrong. What choice is left for that person but to be led off the plane in shame? You can't argue with an employee of the airline because you'll end up in some TSA hurt locker wondering why your asshole is so sore.
