  Nice mural of the chestburster from Alien, but where's the one of MJ?...

  Ah. So that's why Al Gore doesn't wear shoes....
• Commented on An evening of confusion with Dell customer service
  >> Congratulations - you just got someone fired during the recession by slating Dell's customer service on the basis of your interaction with this individual. Yes! Congratulations indeed! A competent, ethical person can now take her place, one that doesn't...
• Commented on Tickling the Dragon: Nuclear accidents in the US and Russia
  OK, maybe I'm dense here, but what exactly happened when the screwdriver slipped? Was there an explosion (and if so, how could he had time to lift the hemisphere--or did it happen after that?) or just a burst of high...
• Commented on Honduran coup in webcomic form
  >> I'm not interested in "both sides" I'm interested in the scholarship and information on the issue. Good luck with that and the "known biases of people whose life's work has been understanding the dynamics of the region." Mmmm...bias-licious. Wikipedia...
• Commented on Honduran coup in webcomic form
  >> While I'm normally a champion for Wikipedia's accuracy on most things, it is still the last place to go to determine the truth of controversial and current affairs. No, the last place to go would be intentionally misleading tracts...
• Commented on Sabotage on the Large Hadron Collider?
  Don't see where this is revealed as a joke by the scientists at all. Admittedly "out there", and not something they necessarily believe, but they seem to be throwing it out there as a possibility. And why not? Not much...
• Commented on San Francisco police officer arresting skateboarder: "I'll break your arm like a fckng twig."
  Please--shut up already with the "call a cop a name, go to jail" shit. That wasn't the charge at all. The kid was arrested for skating where it's not allowed. Regardless of how stupid that law is, the cop could...
• Commented on San Francisco police officer arresting skateboarder: "I'll break your arm like a fckng twig."
  A cop can not arrest you for calling him names. However, being human, most cops will go by the book and get you on any technicality they can if you do so. Shit, I do the same in my job--rude...
• Commented on Bank of America demands thumbprint from man with no arms
  My guess is the bank people weren't rude or unsympathetic, and this particular branch has not somehow managed to hire a bunch of sociopaths. Instead, they felt they had no choice. Like it or not, that's the way many corporations...
• Commented on Britain seeks ban on glass pint-glasses to prevent bar-brawl injuries
  Mandatory plastic = stupid. Mandating plastic in pubs where problems with glass have occurred = smart. Next....
• Commented on HOWTO remember to retrieve food after a playdate
  Yeah, I used to regularly let my 3 year go four miles down the road to visit his friends by himself. And if I didn't know the parents well I always made a point of dropping my little girl off...
• Commented on Musician's open letter, sung to Lily Allen
  Brilliant. Tons of funny lines and maintained a great cadence, all while putting forth some of the most cogent arguments I've seen yet (and still managed to throw in references to Lily and her songs--especially love the "Fuck you" in...
• Commented on Dead cell-phones: suspense movie cop-outs
  When phone coverage is truly universal (or we communicate via brain implants) I wonder what they'll do to maintain the "can't communicate" trope. (But, jeez, all I can think of is the poor guy that had to watch all those...
• Commented on Story about Wal-Mart founder's treatment of his employees
  Last year driving through the deep south I could invariably predict when we'd be seeing a Walmart ahead. All I had to look for was closed shops and empty parking lots in the business center of whatever small town we...
• Commented on Lawyers for TV überdouche Glenn Beck go after satirical website, saying the url itself is defamatory
  The idea of Glenn Beck raping and murdering a young girl in 1990 (in the haze of his admitted alcoholism/drug addiction days) is at least as credible as his "honest questions" about our president being a socialist. Since you can't...
• Commented on Irate Chinese gamers block re-launch of classic game by blockading the gates to its cities
  The translations of the chat room comments are great: "I protest the arbitrary placement of me elsewhere."...
• Commented on Al Franken talks an anti-healthcare-reform mob down
  Not ever seeing him in anything but comedic roles, and not living in MN, it's my first glimpse of him in full politician mode. Impressive....
• Commented on Father blames others for his own misinterpretation of candy wrappers as "pornographic"
  It's just fucking fruit. Who the fuck cares about fucking fruit?...
• Commented on Fake receipt printing service
  I love their list of what, quote, NOT to do with them which basically serves as a detailed suggestion list outlining exactly what people WILL do with them (with actual links to examples). Such as using them to represent Ebay...
• Commented on Michael Jackson likes what he looks like and doesn't have to change at all.
  #6: "Man! I can't imagine it being made these days! O'Reilly and Glenn Beck the rest of the silent majority would drag it out and exhibit it every day for months on end!! Boys with dolls? Boys being told that...
• Commented on HOWTO ask good skeptical questions
  Just from reading the posts in this thread at least 5 of the alarms on my new baloney detector kit have gone off. Have to stop reading...hurting...ears......
• Commented on Starbucks Twitter campaign hijacked by documentary about Starbucks' union-busting
  Starbucks already pays above what other fast food companies do, plus tips are shared among all employees, boosting the hourly wage. They already provide health care insurance and have a nice work environment with high employee satisfaction. But a...
• Commented on RunPee: when you should leave the movie and have a wee?
  Don't see any but the loudest movies at the theatre now, as anything with quite scenes will inevitably be destroyed by yappers. Star Trek in IMAX was perfect. Maybe I'm a bit over zealous, but what we need is one...
• Commented on Starbucks Twitter campaign hijacked by documentary about Starbucks' union-busting
  My son works at Starbucks, and he absolutely fits the bill of the undergrad art student barista. Even has the goatee. Other than the erratic hours, it's an absolutely great college job--working conditions are pleasant with easy going customers, management...
• Commented on RNC chairman says that gay marriage is bad for economy
  Couldn't you see him arguing the same thing about equal rights for women? Or as an argument for slavery? (Pay black people to pick cotton? That would cost small businesses MONEY!!!) And...if he's so worried about health care costs to...
• Commented on Woman kills elephant with bow & arrow
  Is the term bitch considered misogynistic if directed at an individual? Not sure I would agree--there's plenty of derogatory titles that apply just to men (don't need to list 'em) and often when describing others we include gender (waitress/waiter, hunter/huntress)...
• Commented on Woman kills elephant with bow & arrow
  For those wondering why so many people are outraged--you're right. In the great scheme of things this elephant's torturous death isn't a big deal compared to many other things--elephants are not endangered, millions of other animals are killed everyday--most of...
• Commented on Woman kills elephant with bow & arrow
  Female trophy hunters piss me off even more than male ones (and that's saying something, as I think they both are scum of the earth.) There's a tacit cultural undercurrent that cruelty/bloodlust = manly. Male hunters at least have the...
• Commented on FEMA Kicking Katrina Survivors Out of Trailers
  In the case of Mr. Hammond--the article says he's repairing an "apartment"? As in...something he was renting before Katrina? Or are they using apartment in a different sense? I'm confused as to what his situation is......
