A Boy is Dead…The Show Must Go On!
Jan 26, 2009 Business
Prepare to die!
A boy is struck in the head by flying car parts at the monster truck show and killed. People start leaving in droves. You would think the show is over. Investigation commenses and all vehicles inspected, right? Not for Monster Jam. Fuck the dead kid! The show must go on!
What were they thinking? A kid is dead and you just go on with the show as usual? Yeah, the crowd didn’t like it either. The Tacoma, Wash. crowd started throwing beer bottles at the offending truck.
Monster Jam released a standard “we are saddened” statement, but offers no explanation as to why they kept going with the show. Monster Jam? You’re idiots.

HD Vision Wraparounds
Jan 21, 2009 Business
Tired of seeing life in 480i? Do you want to experience everything you do in 720p or even maybe 1080p? Now you can for only $19.99 (plus $6.99 for shipping and handling).
I’ve seen a lot of infomercials in my life, but this one is the worst ever. A company called IdeaVillage Product Corp. is selling big, ugly, “European-styling” sunglasses that make you see in HD. Nevermind that your eyes see better than “High Def,” these “HD Vision Wraparounds” will “enhance your vision” and they apparently look as good as designer sunglasses. Another person exclaims, “It makes things almost brighter.” Wow!
Here are some other fine products IdeaVillage sells. A credit card size digital photo album? Why would you waste space just for a bulky electronic device that only does one thing? I also doubt it would fit in my wallet. The other products are standard infomercial products. They sound useful for one thing and I can see those things working. But HD sunglasses….HD SUNGLASSES!?! Those don’t exist! IDIOTS!!!!

I Hate Airports

JetBlue hates your shirt
An airline passenger forced to cover his Arab shirt was awarded $240,000 in a lawsuit against two TSA officers and JetBlue. Ironically, the shirt said in Arabic, “We Will Not Be Silent.” Well, he was forced silent and won money. Good for him!
Apparently, Raed Jarrad was forced to wear a JetBlue shirt over his Arabic shirt after he was told that other passengers felt uncomfortable with his shirt. My question is: Why can’t I do this with babies? I feel uncomfortable with babies sitting next to me on airplanes. Can you tape their mouth shut? No? Oh, so why appease the racist passengers? Idiots.

American Auto Executives
Dec 11, 2008 Business
When you need to hold more than 5 idiots at once
General Motors and Chrysler are on the verge of running out of cash. Ford is faring a little better. While these idiot companies are begging for a $14 billion bailout, the Senate is giving the finger. It amazes me how idiotic these American auto execs have been for the past few years. Between the crappy quality, bad designs, gas guzzlers, and fellating the greedy workers unions, I really can’t find any good aspects of American car companies. Dealerships are so desperate to sell their inventory, they might as well give their cars away.
I used to own a Ford Focus. Instead of real brake pads, Ford installed the cheapest pads ever. Fred Flintstone’s feet were more reliable than Ford’s brakes. Ford eventually settled a class action lawsuit involving these brakes. Meanwhile, the geniuses at GM approved the production of the H2 and H3 for those who wanted to show off their a-holeness and savor an average of 10 miles per gallon. GM in June was considering dropping the line. A little too late, you think? Yet, nothing has been done with the Hummer or with any of the 13 worldwide crap brands. Chrysler isn’t as dumb as GM. They’re just boring as they are unreliable. The most unreliable 2009 car, according to Consumer Reports, is the Chrysler Sebring. This piece of junk rips off consumers for $20,515 and that’s only starting price.
I hope the Japanese are laughing at us because they should. Honda and Toyota are consistently at the top of reliability ratings. Foriegn companies are dominating the best TCO (True Cost of Own) list, which means these cars have the lowest total ownership cost. Even Mazda and Honda pwned the truck categories. I think it’s time for Japanese car companies to take over our factories and get rid of the monkies in charge. American auto execs, you’re idiots.
