Commented on World's most awesome cheap Chinese toy

Would people please stop referring to "Crazy Frog" as an "Artist"? That abomination was never 'art'. Someone needs to make an MP3 tag for "Ruiner", that's a more apt description....

Commented on 3D scanning with a plain webcam

Give this man his PhD. This is truly awesome....

Commented on Spray Paint The Walls: The Story of Black Flag

You mean there were American punk bands other than Green Day?...

Commented on Glowing bacteria that finds landmines

oh GFP, is there anything you -can't- make better? :)...

Commented on Please release me: Mario, MinMe & Mini Squadrons, DigiDrives & Captain Successors

MiniSquadron totally looks like Looping had a baby with Time Pilot. 8bit x 8bit = 64bit, right? :)...

Commented on Hamster Hotel lets you live like a rodent

That's not fucked-up at all or anything, no....

Commented on Cataloging the lies in Palin's "Going Rouge"

The common spelling mistake of Rogue (bad) versus Rouge (red) seems all-the-more prevalent these days. Whether the headline was a joke or a spelling mistake is up for argument; but the first line of this story is spelled wrong. That's...

Commented on Outrage grows over India's massive ID plan

The idea of a new system is all well and good, but who are they going to phone for tech support?...

Commented on Anatomical vegetarian ad

I've heard the screams of the vegetables.. Watching their skins being peeled.. Grated and steamed with no mercy.. How do you think that feels? The Arrogant Worms - "Carrot Juice Is Murder" http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KmK0bZl4ILM...

Commented on MTV's Buzz: fantastically forward-thinking TV from 1990

I kept expecting to hear the words: ..EMERGENCY.. ..BROADCAST.. ..NETWORK.. This production is very reminiscent of EBN (no telling who borrowed from whom). I wish that group had produced more stuff... I really liked them....

Commented on YouTube's new 3D showcase

Mechko, you can't make a regular video into a 3D video (unless you enjoy psychotropic drugs). What makes a video 3D is the differences between the left and right images. If you only have one image to start with you...

Commented on BREAKING: Leaked UK government plan to create "Pirate Finder General" with power to appoint militias, create laws

listen to The Man In The Glasses, folks. Anytime there's even a hint of legislators trying to make arrangements without due process ("Secondary legislation" and "conferring rights" indeed) we need to be alarmed. Don't pick up the pitchforks just yet.....

Commented on Library workers fired for colluding to keep graphic novel from being checked out by 11-year old girl

Did that librarian have someone praying over her when she last went to the bathroom? if God is everywhere then he's in the toilet.. that's just horrible and disgusting! She'd need to have LOTS of people praying over her for...

Commented on Pfizer abandons property it won in Supreme Court housing battle

I've been to that 'blighted' section of Ardmore.. I'm glad it was saved. "Eminent domain" needs to be expunged from our society, along with all those who would use it to thieve property from others....

Commented on Viacom's top lawyer thinks lawsuits were "terrorism" - but he's learned nothing from the experience

Cory, nice job on the Strombo show. Good work. If you really think that DRM is a dead-end business model, perhaps you could counter this observation sometime: DRM is alive and well on XBOX360. Downloadable content for Xbox games (especially...

Commented on Homophobic murder in Puerto Rico. Cop: "he deserved it" for his lifestyle

I believe the issue at hand is thus: the words of the police officer indicate that the perpetrators of this particular crime may not be vigorously sought. If the police don't want to find a killer, then they get away...

Commented on Arthur Goldwag on the queen of the "birther" movement

Sadly, what's been happening (and continues to happen) is a polarization of belief regarding reality, and the labeling of those beliefs as being facts. What results is two camps of people with different 'facts', each accusing the other of "ignoring...

Commented on Heavy illegal downloaders buy more music

Hawley.. nice trolling.. which bridge do you live under? Since you've never met someone who "downloads a lot and then buys the goods later on", allow me to introduce myself. I've done this plenty of times, and I continue to...

Commented on Money Mules

I protest. There are no actual mules anywhere in this article. Even trojan horses do not have the style and grace of the mighty mule....

Commented on Robot that can play Rock Band on the iPhone

maybe because that horrible grinding sound of the motor drowns out the horrible sound of that song....

Commented on Couple survives car crash in their house

I am offended by the wording of this article. It SHOULD read: "The accused, Eric Cross, had ALLEGEDLY mistaken their house..." How do you expect people to take the story seriously if you don't have the word 'allegedly' in it...

Commented on Goat rentals for clearing brush

Goats for the brush, and sheep for the lawn. Small-scale ruminants work great even in a suburban setting....

Commented on Council bans parents from play areas

Boycott the playground? Boycott the -town-!...

Commented on Awful 1962 marriage textbook speaks out against feminism, communism and interracial dating

This is the very -foundation- of traditional marriage, people. This is your -history-. Also this comment was originally intended to be funny/snarky, but it did not turn out that way at all....

Commented on The $147.72 "audio grade" power socket

Those fools, I already trademarked the words "Audio" AND "Grade", and I've got a patent on "The combined usage of either of the trademarked words 'audio' or 'grade' in conjunction with other words to form a phrase". They don't stand...

Commented on Shel Silverstein's UNDERWATER LAND, CD/book of hilarious kids' nautical music

For my money, there isn't a cleverer songwriter and poet than Shel Silverstein. I'm so glad this finally saw the light of day, goofy puns and all. and, again, for the record: WHERE THE HELL IS MY SHEL SILVERSTEIN BIO-PIC?!?...

Commented on WTF is "Dairy Drink?"

@Caroline, I wonder if you'd be so opposed to milk if you weren't allergic to it. Milk is "natural" insofar as it occurs in nature without us having to actually create it. Drinking it is just as natural as eating...

Commented on How To Eat a Horse

I'm going to go off on a rant here. Horse slaughter has been made illegal in most US states; as such it's increasingly difficult for horse owners to get rid of horses that are no longer wanted. Those that cannot...

Commented on How To Eat a Horse

Phikus, I can personally guarantee to you that pigs are smarter than horses. Pigs are smarter than some DOGS, in fact. Also, pigs are -delicious-....

Commented on Animating the XKCD "I Love the Internet" strip

Jesus.. I love this....
