Along the same lines, McDonald's is now pronounced "McDonnoze".

That is all.

Did any Super Bowl commercials stand out to anyone?

Let's see, I hated the AOL 9.0 ones. Hahah, so fast loloolr! That's going to be a great one to watch for the next 9 months.

Hated the Mastercard one. I hate them all. It was determined that they have been doing those fucking things since the Columbine Incident. Almost six goddamn years. Retire the fucking campaign.

There's one guy who wasn't offended by a "Bud - True" commercial. I think he's a white investment banking sports reporter. Certainly just about every other combo seems to get an unfunny "zinger!!!"

So, they were crap.

I liked the one for the car, the one when all them cars were in the desert, driving along, but it looked like they were driving through water? Member that one?

That was cool.

... I have no idea what you're talking about. Man, this is depressing. I should just put this place on hiatus for a few weeks. It's just incomprehendable at this point. Maybe a "break" would be good. Force us all to sort of recharge and refocus.

And, you know, take away a forum where I can be libelled for not sending out your money instantly. That kind of thing.

Oh, sorry. I assumed when you brought up the topic of Super Bowl commercials, that you'd actually seen any of 'em. I guess you were too busy scrounging your couch for nickles and pennies to put in a sack with a big "$" on the side and send to me.

I thought I saw 'em, too. But I am completely out, here. Out like damned spot, out.

And that's the only thing I can think to talk about. It feels like my head is caved in right now. I feel half alive... but mostly, well --

... The fuck is wrong with me? I feel like I am having a mental breakdown. I just had a vacation, too.

o I gamble all the time. And LOSE. I have a "gambling problem."
o It feels as if someone is clubbing me with a large brick at work all day long.
o I am uninteresting and uncompelling at every topic.

(Personal life is still outstanding, though. I got that going for me. Believe me, I'd rather have that working all its pitches than the reverse of how things are.)

I am completely burned out. I'd like nothing better than to drive cross country and not work and maybe work on my golf game. But then that's exactly what you did, and you do not seem to be the happiest apple in the bunch, either.

How the hell did I get this bitter at age 29?

I downloaded 3 episodes of hentai, just for kicks. And some amateur teen porn. And some black metal.

I need a job.

Or some sort of game to play when I'm at home, by myself.

This one's good.

And there is even an executable file for it. No need to muck about with interpreters!

I can suggest something. I can suggest a whole bunch of euphemisms for it, even.

Also, I liked the Shards O' Glass commercial.

Oh, you didn't really, did you?

Nothing is more unappetizing to me than sanctimonious anti-(anything) bullcrap couched in "righteous irony".

I missed that one and had to look it up just now. Yeah, that commercial sucks ass. Why don't we start a campaign against companies that use high fructose corn syrup and are turning our country into fat asses? (I'm not serious about that.) But yeah, let's go after companies for telling the truth that cigarettes are bad for you (even if they're doing it because they have to). That makes no fucking sense.

I'm a liberal, sure, and sometimes think people should be protected from themselves but this is just crazy. This is all personal responsibility. South Park does a better job at giving anti-drug messages than these fucked up anti-tobacco, anti-drug commercials.

Screw you both. Plate glass in candy is <i>funny</i>. No matter what. It's a comedy goldmine.

No. It's pathetic. Pathetic. Embarrassing. Juvenile.

Juvenile.

Of course, when you're talking about an entire country what's up in arms because a TITTY got exposed for two seconds on a national broadcast, "juvenile" becomes almost redundant.

Now if you'll excuse me, Goldberg is about to beat someone to a pulp.

USA, grow up. Please, I beg of you. Grow the eff up.

You probably don't laugh at razor blades in Halloween apples either, do you?

I was surprised to see the full picture on Reuters this morning, though it seems they took it down now.

You guys still have castles that the British forgot to knock down, right? Can we see those?

HEY JONSEY!!

Read up, yo. I wrote this little ditty jus' fo' you:

Is ya ready for it? Better be over-prepared
When ya enter ya see a sign, say, "SOLDIERS BEWARE"
They be ragged up, twenty-five dollars bagged up
Old nickel tucked in tha back of his 'Baud cuffs
Well aware on the route that he's gonna duck
If somebody thinkin' 'bout jammin' him up
If a bitch with him, she better be smart, or tough luck
'Cause he gon' break and bust, she gon' be fucked up
Mind your business is a code, too, I never told
Ever since a nigga was a million years old
Bein' a baller.. shot caller.. is tha goal
I'll hospitalize anybody... in the ward
Ta make it there, you talk crazy, we take it there
You'll be like a steak, nigga, you medium-rare
All these niggas wanna be (?) or tha man in charge
With tha AK-47 it'll change you boys
