How could they leave off KFC Shredders from SNL? That single parody made fun of just about every "extreme" commercial gimmick there is.

"yes, after that abuse, i hope this little dude figures out how to attack the loser/s who douse him with water each day. poor thing."

Yeah, poor alligator. We all know how much alligators hate water.

"What was he mad about?"

I don't remember. But keep in mind we were paid $5/hour to do nothing more than bag and file comics. It's kind of hard to mess that up. My manager was an asshole too. I got fired from that job for talking to a coworker while we were bagging comics. Chuck and his cronies are the worst people I've ever had to work for.

Chuck Rozanski's a prick. I used to work in the Mile-High Comics warehouse and one day he called everyone there into a meeting to yell at us and call us idiots (yes, his exact word, directed at all employees present, was "idiots"). He obviously thought that when you're paying $5/hour to people who work at a place simply because they love comics, you can treat them however you like and expect the world of them.

I highly doubt he was trying to kill the bird. It's not like it was a bullet, it was a golf ball. He was probably trying to scare it away, like he said, and ended up hitting it. Whether he was trying to hit it or not (probably was), he likely didn't realize it would die if he hit it.

It would be even funnier if you put these on something other than electronic products, such as food or condom boxes.

So Leroy Comrie, a black man, is "racist" for saying that a company named "O.G. [Original Ganster] Nation", which made a line of chips named "Thug Chips", is glamorizing thug (or O.G.) life. This may be one of the dumbest ass things I've ever read.

Here's another instance where they're playing the racism card: http://biz.yahoo.com/iw/071214/0340380.html

News flash, geniuses. If you don't want to come across as being pro-gang, DON'T CALL YOUR COMPANY O.G. NATION. And definitely don't release a product called "Thug Chips".

I bought a receiver at Best Buy, got it home, and found out the receiver in the box was an old receiver that someone swapped out. I took it back and they accused me of doing the swapping. They even "threatened" to look at security footage (as if I could have done it right in the store). I finally got my money back and went to Circuit City instead. We stopped shopping at Best Buy for a couple years after that.

"The different childish high-pitched voice that says 'Goog-411' at the start of every call is really creepy."

Actually, I think the voices are random. Sometimes different women, sometimes different men, sometimes a child.

Coda, I think the majority of US citizens think of a woman when they hear the word "nurse", and a man when they hear "doctor". You want to know why? I'll give you a hint: it's not because of Richard Scarry. It's because the vast majority of nurses are women (app. 95%) and the vast majority of doctors are men (app. 75%).

When my dad was a kid, his mom was driving one day and got rear-ended by a cop doing 100 MPH without his lights on (he later said it was because he was trying to catch up to a speeder without alerting him). The cop car flipped and decapitated the cop in the passenger seat. A justice of the peace arrived at the scene to declare the cop dead and get accounts from all the witnesses. The cop was clearly going too fast and lost control... there was no question of this.

A couple of days later the cops wrote her a ticket. Talk about gall. When she went to fight the ticket she found that the witnesses on the scene now changed their stories to favor the cops. In other words, the cops forced them to change their stories. Luckily, the case got thrown out because the justice of the peace at the scene was also the judge who presided over the case, and he knew what happened. He also knew the witnesses changed their stories. And yet the cop never got in trouble.

And that is just one of the many reasons why my dad raised me to never trust cops.

I actually had this hairdryer (and used it) when I was a kid. My grandparents gave it to me.

That is one awful Luke impersonator. Glad to see Porkins is alive and well, though.
