Sue the bloggers!

Yes, that is actually a “plan” to “save” the media’s financial crisis! “Improving the media,” and “telling the truth,” didn’t make the list, folks! Their scheme is to SUE us! And for what?! Why, for “copyright infringement,” that elusive, amorphous, wonderful magical mix of legal nonsense that changes every couple of decades!

It USED to be that “copyright infringement” meant that one person stole the works of others and claimed it as their own. You know– like, steal the top secret plans of the inner workings of a PS3 and sell it as something you yourself created. Today, “copyright infringement” is the mere passing along of information! Such as, copying and pasting from a news story online to “prove” a point or to quote someone. That’s copyright infringement?!?!?!??! IDIOTS. I’d posted about this before– I KNEW this was coming! You can’t even HUM a SONG on YouTube without being slammed.

I would love to copy and paste the news story from Wired regarding this “discovery” of how to “save” the media’s bankrolls… but I may get sued for copyright “infringement”! So what’s a blogger to do? Go and look for it yourself.

Hoh boy! Hello, New Yorkers! Here’s more of your wasted tax dollars at work! New York State government claims that we have a “Canadian Geese problem”! So they plan to knock off TWO-THIRDS of the geese. Can you believe it?! According to the Huffington Post, “400 geese in Prospect Park were euthanized and the U.S. Department of Agriculture has been removing the birds from several locations near JFK and LaGuardia Airports.” A goofy state senator held a “vigil” for the dearly departed, saying there were more human ways to get them out of here.

This was shocking to me. Are the geese terrorists? Menaces? What is wrong with the geese that is causing such a sharp, reaction?

Well, apparently, there are two things: the geese slam into airplanes (as what happened to the Hudson flight a few years back– remember that captain who landed the plane on the Hudson River?). And secondly, too many geese are flooding our parks and backyards, leaving their gooey geese dung all over the grass.

I find it unconscionable that the government wants to kill the geese. The geese are basically harmless! If the government just REALLY REALLY wants to kill something, how about all the DEER that are everywhere!!!! The deer are a total menace! They have exploded in numbers, and eat EVERYTHING in sight. And to the people who hate walking in geese dung at the park– WATCH WHERE YOU ARE WALKING!

How’s them diamonds?!

I think we should save the geese.

This is going way way too far. Watch this video and you tell me what you think.

That poor cat!! They are calling it “hydrotherapy” for cats, but did you hear that poor cat plea for help? That isn’t hydrotherapy!! That’s torturing the poor cat! Cats hate water! If the poor cat has an injured paw, get the cat some power wheels, don’t torture the poor thing in a pool!

Cats are NOT people, hello!!!! “Hydrotherapy” for cats, balderdash! More like “millions of bucks” for therapists.

I don’t know where the idea has derived from in our modern culture that animals are equal to humans. Hey– animals are CUTE, they deserve to be well treated, absolutely. But to treat animals like humans is insane. It shows how far gone society has degraded. Animals cannot reason. Torturing them to make them “better” is not humane, it’s WEIRD.

Just my two cents, as always. :D

Touche.

Saw this ad on numerous blogs recently. Apparently, it makes people into angry, rabid, roving maniacs, ready to smash their firstborn child through the TV glass to end this guy’s annoying whine and bravado.

??

I don’t get it. Why is this ad so annoying? How is this ad more annoying than other ads? I mean, sure it’s not as WONDERFULLY fascinating as those ads for quick weight loss! But… it doesn’t make me gag (haha) or wanna scream at the TV.

But I don’t have a TV. So maybe that’s the magic answer. I only have to endure this guy ONCE, and then it’s OVER. Not like you TV freaks, who watch TV ALLLLL DAY LOBG and see this guy again and again.

Score once again for throwing the boob tube outta da window! ;)

It’s like a plague or a sudden fad from the catwalks of Paris– the “Extended Protection Plan.” EVERYBODY and their mother is offering them these days. This must be how the stores make their big bucks, kinda like how the fast-food restaurants make their money– offer the goods at *reasonable* prices, then tantalize you with “extras” for unconscionable prices.

I ordered a $75 appliance from a Big Box store, online. $75. Before I can even submit my order, I am bombarded with TWO windows begging me to sign up for the “Extended Protection Plan.”

Gee, is their product so crappy that they have to offer a “just in case” insurance policy for the thing? And look at the price of the “protection”– $59 bucks!!! LOL, I could just go out and get another appliance, dudes!

And everybody is on this “extended protection plan” bandwagon. I can’t even buy phentermine or buy a package of gum without being asked if I want to also spend on this or spend on that.

No! I just want to buy a pack of gum! Is that OK with you?!

So anyway. I’m looking forward to my appliance. And it better not be a dud, or I will kick myself for not getting the “extended protection plan.”
