I have been looking for ‘Pepsi’ and ‘Mountain Dew’ versions of Throwback for weeks. Not finding anything, I go to the web. Here, I find out they are officially only doing this for a limited distribution. What that means, is a few weeks, not everywhere.
To the ‘good’ folks at Pepsi, I’d like to inform you [...]

Before any fans of Michael Jackson, king of pop, read on, I’d just like to say something. First, I deeply apologize if any of this offends or causes you pain. It undoubtedly will. But, it is what I’m thinking, and I have to let it out. If you are unable to read something critical of [...]

Perez Hilton, long known as a person who seeks attention by calling other people ‘gay’, has finally seen the consequences of what that can do. There’s no secret that he has been offensive in reference to members of the Black Eyed Peas, on more than one occasion. On this particular occasion, Hilton was harassing Fergie [...]

At this year’s E3 convention, showcasing new games to enter the market, Electronic Arts (EA) pretty much played the fraud card in advertising a game called “Dante’s Inferno”, presently set for release sometime in 2010. They had a fake on-site protest, as part of a marketing stunt which included a phony website. Their attempt has [...]

I was just reading this ‘brilliant’ lump of crap in Yahoo!’s dating tips section, and thought I’d have a bit of fun at the expense of these wonderful idiots who think they’re qualified to do for you what the most gifted therapists, psychiatrists, and wise men of the world haven’t been able to…understand someone they’ve [...]

Marcio Schusterschitz, a federal prosecutor for Sao Paolo state in Brazil, is claiming that when fast-food restaurants offer promotional toys with kids’ meals, they encourage bad eating habits. His story is that when children see ‘toys’ in with their food, they form ‘emotional associations’ that can make them life-long abusers of fattening and unhealthy foods. [...]
In yet another huge waste of government money..
Posted in Policy-making, news, politics, rant on June 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The U.S. House of Representatives voted 405 to 1, to deliver a very important message to Iran. A useless message, condemning Iran’s government for ‘cracking down’ on protesters. It was initiated by Republicans in the House, in an effort to embarrass Barack Obama, who failed to make a direct statement about Iran’s handling of their [...]

Sangamon County State Prosecutor John Schmidt, investigating the Roland Burris contempt charge, issued a statement suggesting that Burris won’t be going to court, citing a lack of ‘evidence’ in the case.
Funny, I thought Roland Burris gave public statements proving he was guilty of lying in his testimony of interactions he had with Rod Blagojevich. It [...]
Al Roker: Old and stupid, or just stupid?

On Monday’s edition of NBC’s “Today Show”, Al Roker appeared to be on a mission. Unfortunately for his I.Q., he chose the wrong mission. I mean, how dumb do you have to be to not get reality stars being ’silly’ for money? People have been acting up, and getting paid for it, since television began. [...]
Harper’s Island: Something wonderful that has been missing from television for a while.
Posted in Pop Culture, TV & Film, Talk Soup, Uncategorized, tagged CBS, Harper's Island on June 15, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
For anyone who has missed it, it is almost over. There’s a show airing on CBS called “Harper’s Island”. It is basically a murder mystery. A perfect summer interlude. Promising a deeper twist to the plot with each passing week, and actually delivering on that promise. Excellent cast. Compelling story. A full range of acting. [...]
