It’s time once again for an episode of what the hell is up with these commercials? This one took us a while to put together, and it has less in it. There’s been this ad campaign pushing Ontario as the place to be. I think it started when we moved into this apartment, because I …

I Guess It’s True You Can Get Everything Cheap At Wal-Mart
Well, isn’t this a beautiful way to start off Friday? We’ve heard of kids being sold for $5000, a gun and a bird, but $25 outside Wal-Mart is a brand new low. Actually, there was the case of Marcy Pappalardo trying to sell her kid for $10 in gas money, but somehow that hadn’t made …

Don’t Get Between This Man And His Cable!
We were sitting around having lunch, and for some reason, I got thinking about an old recording we heard years ago, before there was a blog. It was of a pissed off customer who was very upset that his cable wasn’t working, so barraged his cable company with rather inventive, profanity-laced messages. Dogen-faced? I have …

Floating Away On A Sea Of Booze
Jerry Whipple is one lucky dude. He was having a grand old time, drinking out by the shore I guess, and then he decided to take a rest on a pool floaty…and so he floated away from where he had been partying, and also passed out on said floaty. He’d been drifting for about a …
Parents Acting Like Children
Ok, first we had parents fighting at a high school graduation. Now, they start dukin’ it out at a kindergarten graduation! What I can’t figure out is if it happened outside school in a field, why was the school placed on lockdown? That’s just totally messed up.
These Teasers Don’t Tease. They Enrage.
I received this from a Humanware press release list I somehow got on, and my reaction was not what they hoped it would be. They wanted to get us all excited about a new device they’re coming out with. All I could think was “Not again! Not again!” This is a teaser campaign announcing a …
When They Say They Give An Honest Telling Of Events, They Ain’t Kidding.
I wouldn’t have written about this story about a guy gettin’ it on with 3 horses, except for what I saw the guy’s mug shot had been labeled as. The picture was seriously labeled “horse_fucker.jpg”. Yup. That’s what someone at the Covington News thought would be a good name for Byron Christopher Jordan’s picture on …

I Might As Well Crack Open Another One Since I Can’t Crack Open My Car
And we thought the guy slugging back a brew while the police wrote him up for DUI was bad. Paul Nigel Sneddon has him beat hands down. This guy got in a car accident after going on a 4-day drinking binge, , and his car was flipped over on its roof, but he still thought …

Future Shopping At Future Shop Could Be Hard
I meant to write about this a looong time ago, but then I got busy, and after a while, I wanted to find out if there were any updates about the whole situation before I blogged about it. I don’t have any, but I’ve put a call in and am waiting for a response. It …

Big Vegan Jesus?
Wow. PETA will seize any opportunity to try and get their message out there. Now, they faxed a letter to the Solid Rock Church saying they’d rebuild thelightning-struck Jesus if they could just inscribe a message encouraging Veganism on the new statue. They wanted to put a lamb in Jesus’s arms with the message “Jesus …
