• Commented on Call of Duty: Secret Spielberg Level Unlocked
  It's not so much a "laugh out loud" funny joke (at least not to me), more something interesting to think about. I've played many war games online (call of duty, mostly), and this is exactly how most of the kids...
• Commented on Skiing robot
  Great, there goes my plan to outlast the robot apocalypse in Alaska....
• Commented on Rare alternative version of Beatles track from White Album discovered
  That was fantastic, and before I saw the name Peter Serafinowicz, I was inclined to believe it. After all the Beatles did put out "Run For Your Life"....
• Commented on Brit copyright group says, "No laptops allowed in cinemas"
  If you are carrying something with you, don't go to the movies! Go home, leave your valuables there, and then come back to see the movie. It is as simple as that. Apparently you don't live in a city or...
• Commented on Type design experts, browser makers, take another crack at webfonts
  I've personally never been understood why fonts were such a huge deal. For logos, advertising, all the many other reasons, sure. But when I'm reading an article or info off a page, I'm happy as long as it's readable....
• Commented on French burlesque film: The Dancing Pig
  A friend of mine used the pig teeth and tongue bit for an profile pic for quite awhile. It never stopped being disturbing....
• Commented on G20 protesters blasted by sonic cannon
  SPARKLEMOTION @37: "For those of you who feel that this device was an inappropriate way to break up the crowd*, what method would you have preferred?" I don't know that there's any method I'm particularly fond of, but permanent hearing...
• Commented on Two girls, one uke
  For all those who like the shirt, it comes from here: "Everyone Poops" via Threadless.com All the shirts on threadless are printed in limited quantities, so at the moment it's all sold out, but you can request a reprint. Likely...
• Commented on Story about Wal-Mart founder's treatment of his employees
  @Cunning #64: The Sam Walton story doesn't even make sense. If the employees agreed not to cash their checks, were they issued new checks at the old, pre-minimum wage rates, or were they simply not paid? I believe the checks...
• Commented on Conservative California legislator gives pornographic account of his multiple affairs (including a lobbyist) into open mic
  @freeyourcrt #83: Does this incident mean that this legislator somehow misrepresented his constituents? Cheating on his wife and mistress by themselves don't, but the fact that at least one of the mistresses is a lobbyist for clients that he had...
• Commented on Dramatic reading of a break-up letter
  Wow, I forgot all about this! I first saw it a couple years ago, and it's just as funny now as it was then! You bastert....
• Commented on Venezuela's "continuous" lightning storm
  This is probably a stupid question, but with all the lightning there, do people living in that area have a higher chance of being hit by lightning than those of us with more moderate storms?...
• Commented on Buddy Holly is Alive and Well on Ganymede, one of the all-time great American comedy sf novels, will be a movie
  I've only vaguely heard of this book before, so this gives me an interesting choice. Should I wait at least a year to see the movie first, and then read the book which is almost certain to be better, or...
• Commented on Woman books entire jetliner biz-class so her dog can fly with her
  VALCHAEL @19: There seems to be the mistaken impression that everyone that has money and can spend it on expensive things is the enemy of people that can't. I'm sure I'd feel the same way if I was struggling to...
• Commented on Village of Twins
  So if this village has more sets of twins than any other village in the world, then they also have the most EVIL twins in the world. Half of all those statistics are plotting a nightmare scenario....
• Commented on Kids' tees featuring characters with crazy mouths and off colors
  ADAM @5: Because clearly the Henson company isn't affiliated or promoting this product. With the JJ/GYWO problem, it was mostly about the fact that it looked like an independent cartoonist was promoting a product. Jamba Juice wasn't mocking, subverting, or...
• Commented on 2009 Gathering Of The Juggalos Infomercial
  "There's something for everybody." With the emphasis on burgers, hot dogs, pizza, tacos, and ice cream, I imagine there's nothing for you if you're a vegan. "Most misunderstood people in history." So.... jews? And I like how they say "ninjas"...
• Commented on Keyboard Cat t-shirt
  Yeah, I second what anonymous @13 said, this hasn't been printed yet, you have to sign up to vote for it. But when it DOES print, then it'll be up for sale, and it might show up as a kids...
• Commented on Tim and Eric Fans, behold: Awesomecon in San Diego, July 25
  Pecoto: I can't speak for all T&E fans (obviously), but isn't it possible to be a fan of ALL those comedians? Just because somebody else did it first makes it less funny? I suppose Kids in the Hall is less...
• Commented on Death by Chocolate (no, really): worker dies in hot cocoa mixing vat
  I must say, being "covered in chocolate and seemingly in dismay" seemed like an impossibility until this bit of news....
• Commented on Pez Candy Inc sues Museum of Pez Memorabilia for copyright infringement
  DECKARD68 @8: Technically, they refer to it as "The World's Largest Dispenser of Pez". And since it is a device that dispenses Pez candies, I don't see why they can't call it that. If the specific term "Pez Dispenser" is...
• Commented on Cheap Trick releases an album on 8-Track
  My dad's 1979 Ford pickup is in fact still running, and has a built in 8-track player. It doesn't sound, terrible exactly... but it's not, you know, good. I'm not sure if the 8-track being new would help that at...
• Commented on Hitler finds out Michael Jackson has died (Der Untergang remix)
  For those asking why they use Hitler, there's a few reasons. The major one is that it's a pre-made clip that is easy to edit (due to the subtitles) into saying anything you want. Plus, it's a guy who's obviously...
• Commented on NAACP comic from early 1960s
  It's like he's saying what all white people are thinking all the time! Good ol' powerful interests....
• Commented on Michael Jackson -- unrecognizable motivations and constant ruination
  I completely agree with Halloween Jack. I don't think he was a pedophile because he looked weird, but because he shared a bed with pre-teen children. Even after being accused of molesting children. When that interview was done with him...
• Commented on Pirate Bay to sell to private company, go legit (?) (!)
  "What possibly could TPB offer? That is a serious question and not a dismissal...I just can't find a scenario that works out for anyone..." This is the question I'm most interested in. Really, I can't think of why the major...
• Commented on Pirate Bay to sell to private company, go legit (?) (!)
  Well, that's disappointing news. I suppose all those torrents I've been meaning to download better get on my queue before August....
• Commented on Comics creator stopped by TSA for carrying script about writer under suspicion by TSA
  "I ... tried to explain to them the irony of the situation." *shakes head* The poor fool. Trying to reason with the TSA....
• Commented on Skateboarder trips, strips, and disturbs neighbors
  BOBA FETT DIOP @7: While I generally try to refrain from calling the cops on somebody who appears to be tripping, if that person has climbed on their roof naked, I would be very likely to call the cops out...
• Commented on PETA pushes to halt Seattle fish mongers from tossing fish
  I'd just like to take this opportunity to announce to any animals (and cannibals) out there, that if they kill me to eat me, they are fully allowed to throw my corpse around first. I'm far more offended by the...
