And the people who do this think it's both beautiful and healthy.

That was sad. I want my money back.

I, too, thought it was a mechanical opinion on my comments, which weren't that bad. Really.

I fell asleep under a tree in the park while reading, so a man had to wake me and ask me if I was all right. Clearly, being tired and falling asleep over a book is strictly a private activity.

You can love mommy only if she's beautiful and rich. Now go feel sorry for all those poor kids with mothers who are neither beautiful nor rich.

"Aside from the gender thing (love the adultery subtext), it's interesting because it's trying to convince people to use a more processed product that in reality tastes markedly inferior - instant v. freshly brewed."

Technology was all the rage. This kind of thing was pretty common.

The man is a jerk, but since his wife's self-esteem depends on him not whining about a commodity, she's no great shakes, either.

Why didn't security see him on the camera and let him out? In most office buildings, there's security after hours and on weekends monitoring the elevator cameras.

I'm not sure I'm picturing an upside-down star here.

Maybe they could dig up $14,000 for Web site design!

Seems cruel.

I'm not keen on body piercings, either, but for this to make sense it would have to apply to everyone with any piercings -- from the basic ear job (like I have) to, yes, clits.

These TSA stories do sound like an agency of people in power out of control.

The interesting thing is that the Chinese are having a similar reaction to Tibetans -- the "Why aren't you satisfied to be like us?" syndrome. The expectation of conformity as not just the norm, but the required norm, has always disturbed me.

I predict the child is scarred for life, and it's not by drinking straws and the shape thereof.

Something tells me that Pukebazooka is probably right on.

White in snow is camouflage.

Sometimes ya just dig too deep.

I don't think these activities are beneficial for the crows. Perhaps they'll be too smart to fall for it.

Since BoingBoing posted the same thing, and there are articles appearing about the articles, maybe they should sue BoingBoing and the whole dang Internet!

what is telling is that it is yet another example of incurious george.

So true -- that was the point of the exercise. When you don't know, make it up and then back it up as the truth. That's why it's a determined horseman. Because that's what he says it is. Just like "Mission Accomplished."

And to the one poster's point, it's a pretty pedestrian Western painting.

I pick, "I'm desperate to make money off a lawsuit."

Food has been artificially cheap for a long time. I suspect reality is slowly creeping up.

[quote}I have yet to enter a Circuit City or Best Buy and encounter this mythical "knowledgeable salesperson." I assume such sightings are to be classified in the same category as sightings of Bigfoot.[/quote]

A Best Buy person tried to tell me all about routers until she figured out I knew more about them.

All I know is that I want the head of the programmer who messed up my life. Get it right, will you!

I'm quite sure this is an intentional spoof. Quite. I hope.

"The good news is that this will now kill the company, preventing it from happening again"

I'm afraid this isn't true. It happens somewhere, in some variation, all the time. The cost of inexperience/the value of experience are too hidden compared to $X/hr. vs. $XX/hr. for most executives to get it. And what is an executive, anyway?

Timing—I saw a 20ish man on the bus pull out a Hello Kitty wallet to pay his fare. And this is in Chicago.
