That was the question posed by the brilliant journalists at MSNBC the other day: Big Quake Question: Is Nature Out of Control?

Uh.

Well, yes. YES, you dunderheads! When was nature ever IN control?! That’s why they call it nature, hello?!

When I went back to the “news” “story” online today, the title had been changed: Big Quake Question: Are they getting worse?

Uh.

Well, no. NO, you knuckleheads! Earthquakes are earthquakes!!! There have been both BIG ones and SMALL ones, all throughout history.

I wish some people would get out of their stuffy offices a TAD more frequently. Go outside, take in the leaves, the trees, the history of the world. It’s ALL OUTTA YOUR CONTROL, you control freaks!!!

ABC News: do only idiots work there? Or just the ones who make the news stories for the website? Like this news story:

U.S. Military Weapons Inscribed With Secret ‘Jesus’ Bible Codes

Coded references to New Testament Bible passages about Jesus Christ are inscribed on high-powered rifle sights provided to the United States military by a Michigan company, an ABC News investigation has found.

A “News investigation has found” them! BUSTED!!!

The sights are used by U.S. troops in Iraq and Afghanistan and in the training of Iraqi and Afghan soldiers. The maker of the sights, Trijicon, has a $660 million multi-year contract to provide up to 800,000 sights to the Marine Corps, and additional contracts to provide sights to the U.S. Army. One of the citations on the gun sights, 2COR4:6, is an apparent reference to Second Corinthians 4:6 of the New Testament, which reads: “For God, who commanded the light to shine out of darkness, hath shined in our hearts, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.”

Other references include citations from the books of Revelation, Matthew and John dealing with Jesus as “the light of the world.” John 8:12, referred to on the gun sights as JN8:12, reads, “Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life.”

NUMBER ONE: It’s kind of insulting to refer to New Testament references as “Jesus Codes.” They are Bible verses references, you delinquents!

NUMBER TWO: The comments at the news story are filled with dumbkopfs spewing their “separation of church and state” rhetoric. What knuckleheads! For one, having a Bible reference on a piece of U.S. equipment is NOT endorsing a state religion! And the word “separation of church and state” is a lie. Yes, it’s a lie! Pat Robertson is right, haha! It’s not in the Constitution. It’s in an old letter written by Thomas Jefferson, when he was president in 1803, telling the Baptists that the government will never interfere with their right to express their religion freely. The liberals are dead wrong about “separation of church in state” in every way.

NUMBER THREE: Just wait until ABC News discovers the Secret Moses Code on the Liberty Bell!

P.S. I like the idea of “Secret Jesus Codes” on my weapons. I think I’m going to inscribe PS7:11 on my AK-47!

I was shocked to realize that there is actually a website like this that exists. Even more shocked to see that there are a lot of people who think it’s OK! How can some people be so outraged about, say, racial profiling, but have no problem with …. gravity-profiling?

BeautifulPeople.com boots out holiday weight-gain fatties

Dating and social network site BeautifulPeople.com has axed some 5,000 members following complaints that they had gained weight. The members were singled out after posting pictures of themselves that reportedly showed they had put on pounds over the holiday period. The site allows entry to new members only if existing members vote them as sufficiently attractive to warrant it.

The US, the UK, and Canada topped the list of excluded members.

The site has always been unrepentant about its selection process, calling itself “the largest network of attractive people in the world”.

The move was reportedly prompted by members themselves, who police the membership of the site to maintain a high – if highly subjective – standard of attractiveness.

“As a business, we mourn the loss of any member, but the fact remains that our members demand the high standard of beauty be upheld,” said site founder Robert Hintze.

“Letting fatties roam the site is a direct threat to our business model and the very concept for which BeautifulPeople.com was founded.”

If the booted people had been Jews, or blacks, or Muslims, you KNOW this would never happen. But FAT PEOPLE–according to these fatheads– are the scourge of the earth, they are! Fatties should be mercilessly slashed from the planet, and be force-fed a mandated fat loss pill, according to these shallow goons. The Brits are so renowned for their bullying (ever hear of boarding school?!), and this just, uh, takes the cake.

It’s so unfair to live in a world where you can be a super-skinny, shallow-hearted FATHEAD and so freely and arrogantly bully other people, as if you’re still in third grade or British boarding school.

It’s like I tell my kids: NEVER pick on anyone because of their looks or their name. People can’t help those things. Pick on people because of the stupid things they DO.

Saw this at Makes You Laugh.

Hilarious!

Makes ya wonder what the success rate is on scams like these. Enough to make the scammer keep trying again and again, eh?

Social media– blogging, Blog Catalog, Twitter, Facebook, blah blah– is fun, yep. It’s fun! And every one of those social media thingies ALWAYS said that their service was a way to “keep in touch with friends and family.” Harmless. Fun.

Then I watched as these social media organizations were monetized, some in as quick as a WEEK. First it was blogging. And then Blog Catalog and My Blog Log and Technorati became ways to generate interest in your product/service; then Facebook got “commercial” so that businesses have a “presence” and are interacting. And then, there was Twitter, which was RAPIDLY monetized. Ooook… I can live with that. If people want to earn some bucks and if they have a good thing: sure, sell it. I don’t care. At least I can tune you out if I don’t like it.

Ah, but social media is starting to go a liiiiittle bit too far, my friends.

One word: Blippy.

WHO the HECK ever thought this idea up?

Blippy is a “new” social media idea– allow everyone, everywhere to see all your financial transactions! Hell, yeah! And of course Blippy is being touted as a way to “keep in touch with your friends and family!” Rrrrrright. Well, Big Brother, he’s family, isn’t he? He’s got the big guns; yeah, I guess he IS family! It’s like that dumb joke: What do you give a gorilla for breakfast?

ANYTHING HE WANTS.

I can’t believe TechCrunch gives the idea a thumbs up!

As the Internet matures, slowly but surely everything we do in the real world is going social. But there’s a limit to how much information we can explicitly share on all the various services. A new service, Blippy, launching today in private beta, has an interesting way to take something you do everyday, buy things with your credit card, and automatically push those transactions online for others to see and interact with.

Yes, I know this is a controversial idea — that’s part of what makes it potentially a great one. Imagine being able to see everything your friends buy with a credit card as they do it. This not only tells you what kind of things they’re actually into (rather than someone just saying they like something), but also other information like how cheap they are, as well as where they actually are at a given time. There is actually a lot of data tied into the transactions we make, and Blippy takes that and makes it social.

So do you think the stampeding masses will turn to Blippy? You bet your blippy they will.

You know, I read in the Bible, in the book of Revelation, where it says, “He also forced everyone, small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on his right hand or on his forehead, so that no one could buy or sell unless he had the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of his name.” I used to wonder, “How can they do that?? How is it possible to get everyone to sign up for something like that, or even to force them to do that?” But now I know. And it will be as easy as telling people it’s all just a way to “keep in touch with family and friends!”

Like Mama used to say: Stupid is as stupid does.

Some goons with a lot of free time on their hands decide to rig up their car to a merry-go-round, so see how fast it can go. And worse yet, TWO guys decide to try to ride it!!

Insane Merry Go Round – Watch more Funny Videos

Notice how the spectators freak out when on the guy starts to fall off? Hello?? Like, what did you expect? They didn’t even bother to place pillows or cushy Eagle Creek luggage around the merry-go-round for padding, or have an ambulance waiting. Sheesh!

Not to mention I’m surprised the guy didn’t puke afterwards. Or maybe the considerate video cameraman decided to spare us from such thrilling entertainment.
