• Commented on That Violet Blue thing
  I think it's cool that people who say mean things about BB or its authors get disemvoweled, but people who call VB a cnt etc. don't. What was it Xeni was saying about ad hominem attacks?...
• Commented on That Violet Blue thing
  Apparently VB never posted anything here, so it's somehow more valid to "unpublish" references to her. Fine. Whatever. Fewer pages for you to post ads on. But if one or more of the BBers themselves part company with BB (and...
• Commented on Mazda destroys 4,703 shiny new cars worth $100 million
  Antinous: Why are so many people queuing up to give Mazda a blowjob for 'preserving their brand'? Safety concerns, fine. Does Mazda really need a citizen army of marketing decision apologists? Good question (not that I agree with the image)....
• Commented on Mazda destroys 4,703 shiny new cars worth $100 million
  #26, #28, #31, #34: Kudos. You and some others hit the nail on the head: This is totally a liability thing. How about airbags failing to deploy because their little solid propellant charges went bad? (Among the environments such components...
• Commented on Camera glasses on sale -- goodbye, photography bans
  @ #17: I agree. This is just a way to succumb to spurious photo bans, and encourage new ones. Not to mention getting rent-a-cops looking even closer at people's *lawful* behavior. No thanks. Also, I find it funny that people...
• Commented on Boss of F1 Grand Prix racing in Nazi-themed sex orgy scandal
  Somewhere Ron Dennis (boss of the McLaren team, which Mosley fined $100 million) and Sir Jackie Stewart (a racing legend, former F1 champion and safety advocate Mosley called a "certified half-wit") are LOLing. I'm moderately-serious follower of F1 (yawn if...
• Commented on MPAA admits to lying about college downloading
  Yeah, c'mon guys. The didn't admit to lying. They *admitted* to making a mistake Maybe they lied, maybe they didn't. But it'd be cool if your headline fit the story. Sheesh....
• Commented on Man loses glasses, damages car wash
  I don't mean to be a party pooper (and the clip is great regardless), but how do we know the driver lost his glasses, and isn't just an (entertaining, destructive) asshole?...
• Commented on 2007 New Yorker cartoon similar to 1984 Far Side cartoon
  First off: Though I don't agree it was "theft," I can't believe nobody's made a "Larsony" joke yet. @#14: Encyclopedic knowledge of (all) comics through (all of) the ages is a requirement for being a cartoon editor? If he spotted...
• Commented on 2007 New Yorker cartoon similar to 1984 Far Side cartoon
  Oh c'mon. *I've* had that same idea for a drawing, and have never seen the Larson drawing. It came to me years ago after 2nd time I saw a weirdo feeding 200 pigeons in a park. And when I saw...
• Commented on Moment of Google share price zen
  I wondered if anyone would notice this........
• Commented on Making a Star Trek phaser with blue diode laser
  @Om, #s 4 and 9: Meting out justice, huh? Your vigilantism is misguided and annoying. It's not your job to enforce traffic laws. Just get to the right as soon as you safely can and everyone (including those of us...
• Commented on Dont Tase Me, Bro: the new LOLcats
  When I first read the headline, I thought it said "Don't tease me, bro." Which would be stupid....
