Toxic Waste Cloud

Vancouver OlympicsWhen I backpacked through Europe I noticed, one day, in a train station a Canadian flag painstakingly sewn onto the backpack of the man in front of me. This caught my attention as the ratio of Canadian flags seemed higher than any other outward showing of national pride from any other travelers. As I thought about this the ticket vendor asked if the man was American, with a hint of disgust he spit out, "Uh, no. I'm Canadian." ... "eh." Your nation is so unimportant and culturally indistinguishable that you have to publicly identify yourself as Canadian. And you get grumpy about it?

This pissed me off. Sure, your accent is a sad knock off of the American accent, your nation is known as the Fifty-first state, you share your nation with a bunch of grumpy French speaking Quebeccers... AND the Canada-centric closing ceremonies SUCKED. Read more

What is Free?What is free these days? Freedom is “free”, but what is freedom really?  According to Wiki, Freedom means: the human value, or situation, to act according to one’s will without being held up by the powers of others.  In that case, yes, I guess the American people are “free” but not financially free, maybe at will we are free.  According to the dictionary Freedom means: the state of being free or at liberty rather than in confinement or under physical restraint.  Again, I guess emotionally and physically we are free, but once again, not financially.  My most favorite meaning of “Freedom” comes from Urban Dictionary: Something the American people just think they have.

Don't Shove One of These In My Face!

I got stalked yesterday at a Body Shop-esuqe type of store.

As I sniffed my way around the natural soaps, body massagers and hennas, I was hounded mercilessly and stalked by 2 over-eager salespeople who were basically emulating the sales style of SNL's Gap Girls.

During the 4 minutes I was in the store, I was asked no less than 16 questions, and offered more than 7 things to smell.

If I am shopping alone, it is probably for a reason, which should be crystal clear- I do not want company, I do not want any  advice on how  I should put henna in my hair, which bath salt I should use, or how my skin really needs to be exfoliated.  Read more

Heidi Montag’s mom is my hero. She told her shallow, vacant daughter the blatant truth, what anyone who  has laid eyes on this crazy girl can see: she’s vain, insecure and talentless.

"She was saying how sad it is that my confidence is gone because of the music industry I'm trying to get into." – Heidi Montag, said about her mother.

Heidi Montag: prettier on the oustside, uglier on the inside.

Her poor mother must feel like a mother bird who’s chick has been handled. Heidi would be lucky if her mother didn’t roll her out of the nest for this idiot move. The best thing about this is how Heidi tanked a face and body that was naturally more spectacular than 98 percent of the population. Read more

Ex-Governor Rod BlagojevichIn case you are keeping tabs, you can add Rod Blagojevich (who is not blacker than Obama) to the increasingly long list of names of people that I would willingly puke on if given the chance to do so, particularly at a public event. For a re-cap of Rod Blogovich’s high crimes and misdemeanors, check out his Wikipedia page, which looks more like a rap-sheet than the bio of a former Governor of one of our larger states.

A-Cup AliciaThe Aussies are most definitely one weird lot. I’ve always suspected as much and it was just confirmed by the recent news about the anti-porn crusanders in Australia, who seem to be even more bizarre than their right-wing American counter-parts.

A year ago (and I don’t know where I was when this news came out), the porn censors in Australia decided for some strange reason that small breasts encouraged Paedophilia, so started a campaign to ban small breasts in porn. Read more

Verizon: YOU SUCK!So Verizon Wireless can suck a big fat piece of turd. For the past several months, they have been appearing on my credit report with a big mark saying I owe them money. Well guess what. I have never in my life had an account with Verizon Wireless, and after my experience dealing with them, I never will.

Apparently, back in college in 2000 I had a cell phone with a local company called Unicel. I moved away to a different state in 2005, never again using Unicel's service.

All is fine until 2009 when this red mark appears on my credit report. Verizon says I owe them $90. Fuck you Verizon! I call them and they can't even give me proof that I owe anything. No proof of a final bill, no proof of anything. All they can prove was that at one point I owned a cell phone and it was attached to a Unicel number. They think I'm going to fork over $90? FUCK YOU VERIZON! Read more
