Getting Behind Your Product

Because you openly advertize that it blows chunks.

"'4d' if you're wasted," indeed.

Not as wasted as the exec who thought that tagline was "edgy" and "hip," though.

Ok, so we see how the nets - broadcast and broadband - are going to wallow tomorrow:



as they will go hogwild over this crime story as McCain Campaign talking point:

Woman Attacked At ATM, Assailant Scratches Letter Into Her Face
Woman Robbed, Attacked With Knife At Bloomfield ATM
...
Police spokeswoman Diane Richard said the robber took $60 from Todd, then became angry when he saw a McCain bumper sticker on the victim's car. The attacker then punched and kicked the victim, before using the knife to scratch the letter "B" into her face, Richard said.
...
Todd declined to comment to the Tribune. Friends said she is in Pittsburgh volunteering for the McCain-Palin campaign.

Richard said the woman refused medical treatment after the assault, which happened outside the view of the bank's surveillance cameras.

Now color me cynical, but doesn't anyone wonder why the robber scratched the "B" backwards?

Like it was done in, say, a mirror?

Or does the Pittsburgh press routinely print all their photos in reverse?

Update:

Police: Campaign Worker Admits Making Up Story
Source: KDKA Police sources tell KDKA that a campaign worker has now confessed to making up a story that a mugger attacked her and cut the letter B in her face after seeing her McCain bumper sticker.

Well, that was fast...

Man - just when you thought there wouldn't be any good news, a story like this comes along:

S. Korean man dies after 50 hours of computer games

and here's the important part - "after finishing his mammoth session in an Internet cafe," - HE FINISHED.

Huzzah, Mr. Lee, Huzzah.

Fear the Yearling

What were they thinking?

Here we are, mere months out of the horror of the war with the Axis powers, and Hwood decides we need a lesson in the fact that "life is durn hard, Pa"?!?

I know the whole thing is merely a metaphor for growing up gay in the rural south, and hence the need to shoot your "dear" before it starts eating the tubers in the garden, but pleeease.

I mean, metaphor aside, what you end up with is a story about country livin' folks who don't know ass from claw about the consequences of domestication. The deer was the only intelligent creature on all of Baxter's Island (and if it's BAXTER's island, why do they have neighbors on that island - the subtly named "Forresters" - who are older....?) and they shot it.

What next? Is someone going to adapt Steinbeck's bloody awful "Red Pony?"

"Gah"

Chronicle of a really bad idea, part 1

Not THAT bandwagon!
no super energy pill for you...

It was recently announced that work had begun on a live action version of boomer-beloved canine cartoon super-icon "Underdog."

Yes. I said live action.

AND get this: they plan on using REAL DOGS.
Yeah, that won't suck.

I wonder what crime cartel is laundering their money through that production?
