have you ever watched mushrooms grow... on weeeeed?

davin beat me to it.

I don't get it.

Catholics base their beliefs on speculation and they're considered "righteous".

Yet anyone who believes in aliens is automatically a whackjob.

Oh wait, they're both nuts.

I think jesus was an alien.

This guy is the Rodney Mullen of a new generation. Completely original and a master of his own style. Kids who try to mimic him will just look silly.

Well, I guess the ad was successful in one way... Kieffe and Sons Ford is now the most well-known dealership in the country.

this is one of those "why wasn't this thought of before?" things. Which usually turns out to be a case of "why wasn't this successful on the market before?" Which usually the answer is, "because no one wants starchy green beans."

a stressful situation like the one in which he was involved could cause him to have a fatal heart attack or arrhythmia.

The situation would have been a lot LESS stressful had he not been TASERED.

Of course, I, not being an authority hater, am much more likely to believe years of testing and use reports than the families of thugs and the thugs themselves.

just staying focused on this specific instance... on what basis are you making the assumption that this guy was a thug? If he had truly done something that was deserving of a tasering, it would most likely be described in a little bit more detail. Like a previous commenter said, they used the ambiguous term uncooperative.

Now I'm not saying the man was a model citizen who did absolutely nothing wrong, but I also think it's completely irrational to assume him to be a 'thug' and search for rationales as to why he passed.

Of course the officer wasn't trying to kill the man... that's the problem, the taser is looked at as a harmless tool by most. MY opinion is that the man, regardless of his health, would have a much better chance at surviving the situation had he not been tasered.

Ill Lich, I have a sneaking suspicion that tasering a cop would most likely get you shot and killed.

Notes on the back read (as best I can tell):

Wow
You seem
to have a
creative ____
but writing
about pornography
is not suitable
__ my class

if this is real, at least the teacher recognized the students creative abilities. The 0% was based on the review of pornography.

I think it's great, a slap in the face for both the pirates and the music mongols. Kudos to them for pulling it off.. I'm actually surprised it didn't happen sooner.
