Oh the insanity


This article is so ridiculous:

"Robbers Prey on Play Station 3 Buyers"


I cannot believe how crazy people can be. This picture is from an e-bay sale which is currently listed as $1,950. A few of the more violent examples...

Andrew Templeton, 20, and David Wiggins, 28, of Sullivan, Indiana, were assaulted by two teens after waiting for 36 hours at a Super Wal-Mart, police said. They were unloading their PlayStation 3s from their car when two teens approached them carrying a chain and a tire iron and demanding their consoles,

Another shopper was beaten and robbed of his new PlayStation 3 just minutes after he bought it at a store in Manchester, police said. The shopper told police five men surrounded and beat him as he left the Shoppes at Buckland Hills with the new PlayStation.

Elsewhere, two men wearing black ski masks and sunglasses made off with five consoles after holding two employees at gunpoint at an Englewood, Ohio, video game store Thursday night, police said.

Things you can see from outer space


The Great Wall of China, Egyptian pyramids, the KFC colonel...

Yeah that's right. In order to promote their new brand image of the colonel in a chef's apron [as opposed to his former white suit jacket] the company laid out colored tiles in the colonel's image that can be seen from space.

Yeah that's right... outerspace.

Eat more chicken aliens.

Girls Gone Wild, Frat Boys Style...


Ok, so Borat is now the #1 movie in America, once again proving that Americans on the whole are stupid. Let's go out and support a movie that patronizes us, points to all our flaws, and generally makes us look like bumbling idiots. But hey, we're all about free speech and isn't Sacha Baron Cohen [a.k.a., "Borat"] just exercising his?

I'm not against this movie by any means, so don't misunderstand what I'm about to say. It's just that I can't help but feel a little bad for the stupid frat guys from good old University of South Carolina. The frat boys claim they were tricked and coerced into saying racist and sexist comments. Let's get one thing clear- NO ONE is ever "tricked" into saying those kind of comments in front of a video camera if they don't mean it a little at least. They claim they thought the video would be shown outside of the country, once again proving that Americans are idiots and have no concept of pride in our country.

My friends went to a theater here in Columbia last week to watch Borat [for those of you who haven't been keeping up, I attend the grad school here at the Univ. of South Carolina-- grad school, not undergrad, so don't blame me] and they said it was ridiculous. First there was lots of cheering when the students "picked up" a hitch-hiking Borat, but then dead silence when the comments were made. These guys are getting ridiculed left, right and center for what they said. Serves them right for being such typical Southern frat boy jerks. So you're asking why do I feel sorry for them? I feel sorry for the fact that no one seems to have taught them better and now they have to suffer with the whole country knowing how ridiculous and idiotic they are. But at the end of the day, they signed a waiver, and now they know how those poor drunk college girls feel after they flash the cameras :)
