• Commented on Sex advice from D&D players
  Anyone who would make comments about D and D players not having sex have obviously never played, or known many people who have. I have been playing for most of my life, and I can tell you that D and...
• Commented on Transborder Immigrant Tool helps Mexicans cross over safely
  Assuming all illegal mexican immigrants are peace-loving feel good people who only want to work is as bad as assuming they are all here to cause trouble. Some of the people coming north across the border are involved in...
• Commented on Ebook license "agreements" are a ripoff
  I am very surprised no one has created a software or hardware solution to crack the Kindle DRM. I mean with the technical skills that are out there, it should be possible. They cracked the iphone in a few...
• Commented on Anti-vaccine fear versus science
  I cheerful admit that I was incorrect. I wish this was publicized more....I would have loved to see a special report showing the president and his family immunized....it might encourage others to do the same and save a lot of...
• Commented on Anti-vaccine fear versus science
  Chicken pox can also be deadly when you get it later in life. Two brothers I knew got it in High School and were hospitalized in the intensive care wards for weeks as a result. It's also important to...
• Commented on Petition to Obama government to disclose secret copyright treaty
  So much for all the promises of "Transparency"....
• Commented on Treatment of intersexed African athlete appalling
  Ummmm.....her natural condition has testes imbedded inside her body....this often leads to cancer and other problems...testes are really not designed to live inside someone's body, that is why her condition could be life-threatening. They're not trying to be insulting....it's just...
• Commented on Dirty Tats: shocker, but lowbrow game marketing is lowbrow
  Most of the male population and some of the female population likes boobies. They use boobies for advertising....this is hardly new, hardly shocking, and hardly worth mentioning. I guess they should have another game involving a guy's ass to appeal...
• Commented on Police Women of Broward County takes reality cop TV to new depths
  It's pretty blatantly obvious that most of the folks objecting to these shows have never watched them. To thinking people that look past the surface it is painfully obvious that at their best these shows humanize both the police...
• Commented on Free parking costs a fortune
  This nicely ignores the fact that free (or cheap) parking keeps nearby businesses open and successful. The downtown in my city is dying a slow and painful death, bringing a lot of small businesses down with it because all parking...
• Commented on Tim and Eric: New "Awesome Show" DVD, new music video dir. by Eric Wareheim, and Vanity Fair interview
  This kind of humor WAS awesome. When Kids in the Hall did it, or when Monty Python did it, or when Mr. Show did it.....I could go on like this for quite a while but will spare you the tedium....
• Commented on Bill Maher: Birthers must be stopped
  Either way you look at it, this whole "birther" issue is just a red herring. The man is president, legally so or the Republicans would have had him ousted by now through the courts. It does serve to highlight a...
• Commented on Websites that sell services to deceive others
  The real weak spots of this business idea are twofold: One: that it is really easy to make fake receipts, pamphlets and the like yourself. I am an idiot with photoshop, yet I could scan and modify existing receipts and...
• Commented on Tim and Eric Fans, behold: Awesomecon in San Diego, July 25
  I think a lot of people's (myself included) problem with these two is that other people have done everything they have done....and done it better, years and years before. They bring nothing new to the comedy table, but people unaware...
• Commented on God Bless America
  Hmmm...I thought this was supposed to be a directory of wonderful things, not a directory of one-sided political hit pieces. Could you please segregate this political stuff into a separate section of the blog??? I don't think that's too much...
• Commented on Fertility interprets regulation as damage and routes around it
  This sort of highlights one of the real dangers of socialized medicine.....the governing body (not necessarily doctors...just whoever is put in charge) gets to determine the best treatment for you. There have been cases of patients being denied life-extending or...
• Commented on Saving the tasty Mangalica pig from the brink of extinction -- so it can be eaten
  Don't you mean....mmmmmmmmm...rare endangered ham......*salivating*...
• Commented on Dr. Steve Brule: Technologies Stuff
  Ww...srry fr th nprbl brn tmr. Wtchng Tm nd rc nd nt chngng th chnnl mmdtly s sr sgn. Seriously, the show is garbage....but Dr. Steve Brule is at least funny.....but it just accentuates the fact that the rest of...
• Commented on Swiss Writing Knife
  It's a magickal instrument for writing inspiration....very unique....
• Commented on Giant earthworms
  Earthworms are awesome! I want one of these to wear around like a pet snake....
• Commented on Prop Hate
  I am strongly in favor of gay marriage. That being said, the anti-8 folks repeatedly shot themselves in the foot here locally (central California) pretty badly. My car and many others in my neighborhood were vandalized with anti-8 propoganda before...
• Commented on English schoolkids go on strike until CCTVs are removed from classes
  In our school district (and most of California) it is illegal to film in a classroom without the express permission of the school board (which they normally give for in-school video productions and school related events only). This protects...
• Commented on Military attorney: Waterboarding is "tip of the iceberg"
  Well, we will never know if this even occurred or not unless it goes to an open trial (or even weather it was likely to have occurred). If I was a terrorism suspect who got snatched off the street I...
• Commented on I really hope ZuneX isn't real
  This seems too counter to the philosophy that Microsoft has used to soundly beat Sony in the last round of game consoles.....to concentrate on multi-user functionality over the internet. A handheld would not play to that strategy at all and...
• Commented on Wal-Mart testing automated trade-in machines for used videogame
  It will be most interesting to see how this will pan out....weather it will be fraud-resistant enough to still turn a profit...or weather someone will be smart enough to figure out a way to make a quick ill-gotten gain...
• Commented on Chicago Alderman vandalizes public art depicting CCTVs
  This is absolutely ridiculous....he painted over a real work of art that wasn't causing any problems...in fact it was probably preventing graffiti as taggers will mostly avoid art pieces like this out of respect to the artists. I would bet...
• Commented on Best Buy allegedly sells brick in a box ... <em>again</em>
  You're making the assumption that a previous customer did a switch with the brick....but anyone along the chain from the factory (most likely in China) could have made the switch. Best Buy has more than it's share of disgruntled...
• Commented on Bettie Page Art Show in LA, curated by Lenora Claire
  I was going to ask for a unicorn chaser....but the second and third pictures took care of that quite nicely....
• Commented on Best Buy allegedly sells brick in a box ... <em>again</em>
  Seriously, even if you don't object to their ill-trained and sometimes pushy salespeople (No...I would not like a service contract on a dvd), their prices are not usually any cheaper than any one of a thousand other retail stores....assuming they...
• Commented on Black Diode Fast-Path Brane-Power Amulet and other Beta wave-blocking devices
  Yeah...but what I really want to know is what this will do for my midichlorian count.....
