*Groan*Wait what?! Where do you surf on the web? Bride ads? XD
Looks like Russia is exporting again. I can't navigate through the internet anymore without tripping over at least three "meet Russian brides" ads.
I preferred when the ads said that I was already a winner. Made me feel motivated.

The 2009 Rant, Vent, and Share thread
For some reason I feel like it's really late, I just asked my brother why he's up at this time in the morning and he told me it's only about half seven in the evening. I feel like I've been up for ages, even though it's only been about three hours.
Maybe it's just because it's Sunday?
Edit: I can't remember how old I am.
I'm not sure what to do with the comic project i'm working, the 10 page superhero one. I think the art quality is publishable and i made it a big enough size for print, but i can't think of any anthology that would want it.
I guess i could make some more shorts and put a book together myself, i really want to see my stuff in print form is all. I'll most likely put it on the web though
I'm not sure what to do with the comic project i'm workingThe same advice I gave lba: penises. Lots of penises.
Never fails.

People around me are dreadfully sick with seasonal flu or something. I'm hoping I won't get it myself. People who are sick SHOULD STAY HOME.

Try telling that to my boss. If she could she'd just fire anyone who called in sick. But since the law doesn't allow that we bring in doctors notes and we're not paid any sick leave. :(
Yeah.. I recently had the flu but she told me to come in anyway…

I hope she gets AIDS and or Lukemiea, then catches a cold from one of poor employees. :)
Oh I'm so nice ^_^
puke on her.Enhanced.
Come on guys, that's not going to help.
If you REALLY want her sick, you have to make sure it gets into her system, and the best way to do that is prolonged exposure. Just go exfoliate yourself in her office for a while. Touch EVERYTHING. Hide the sanitizer and burn the soap. If she has any medication or makeup contaminate that too.
I would personally say why stop at simply touching everything? Lick those palms before you plant 'em and give her coffee cup a good kissing before you plant a snot rocket at the bottom and pour her a cup. Maybe rub your balls on her lunch in the break room fridge.
Then go for that pipe wrench to the face.

On a serious note, Who the hell designs a laptop computer where the hinge is manufactured with 4 separate pieces and held together with 3 different machine screws, hides the whole mess under a plastic cowling that can't be removed without damaging it, and then has the balls to say that it's clearly the fault of the consumer when it fails? The answer it seems would be HP. How could that possibly seem like an intelligent idea? Because an industrial designer made it, and it looks sleek. Who gives a shit if it works if it's sexy enough. right?
I walked home for lunch today(takes about 20 minutes) and realized just as I got to my house that I didn't have my house keys. I checked for the spare key but it wasn't there. I managed to get into the back porch, so I wasn't frozen, but I had no money and no lunch.
My dad drove home from work to let me in. He also checked for the spare key. It was there, I'm just retarded and managed to miss it somehow.
My comics are in today~! :)
Also in other news i'm not sure what to think of this:
The American Booksellers Association has asked the Department of Justice to investigate the online price war being waged by Wal-Mart, Amazon and Target. The trade group says that by selling advance-order hardcovers at deep discounts the three retail giants are engaging in "illegal predatory pricing" and making it impossible for smaller stores to compete.On one hand i think small businesses deserve a chance, but on the other i want cheaper books and i don't want them to raising the price because some little bookstore i'll never buy from whined about it.
Ron Catapano of Ron's Comic World in Mount Holly, New Jersey, asserts that direct-market retailers face a similar scenario: "I hope the comic publishers are paying attention. When the Watchmen movie came out and Amazon was selling the Watchmen trade paperback for less than I could get the book from Diamond Comic Distributors (including shipping cost), I complained and nobody cared.
Barnes and nobles can compete with amazon though, and hastings has used graphic novels for 1/3 the price and some at 4$ here.
Man where was this spirit of capitalism when the bail-out happened. If those car chains cant keep up then let them go under for gods sake, my town is littered with car lots and dealers.
This being halloween week there seems to be a load of those creep around a haunted house with a "psychic" and a night vision camera shows on. All good for a laugh but what iritates me is they bill it as a scientific investigation, then at the first creak or noise they scream "oh sh*t!" and run out the door. Gotta love cable dross ><

The crash was capitalism Failing because it worked too well. They HAD to bail out those morons or there'd have been massive job losses and the government would've had to be directly supporting workers to stop them starving. And if most of the banks and car makers fail then competition starts to fail when you get less and less players.
The flaw in capitalism is that the ultimate goal of all business is absolute monopoly. THEN there'll be no more cheap stuff. What you've got with those online discounts isn't a good example of capitalism at work- those big companies use their monopolies and size to subsidise prices out of their own resources in order to undercut everyone, on the road to achieving ultimate dominance and then they can charge you whatever they want. Prices can never keep on coming down, that's just short term stuff that'll kick you in the arse in the long term when you've go nowhere else to buy from and they can charge you whatever they want.

This reminds me of the myth(?) that the only time that shiny new item of yours breaks is when the warranty expires…
And of course there are a few stores that will only let you return a defective product within a week… UNOPENED.
I don't know why I still hope to win at the Monopoly thing McDonalds is holding again. No one where I live has ever won the thing. All I've won so far is three free small coffee/drinks and 2 orders of medium fries. Oh, well… even if I somehow managed to win that 1 million dollars the local tax department would grab 25-50% (someone won a contest that got him 2 million, but the local tax department took 300,000 out of it).
This reminds me of the myth(?) that the only time that shiny new item of yours breaks is when the warranty expires…Happened to me twice now, laptop and printer both within months of the expiration.
And yeah i know there's some good to the bail-out it's just the mantra was pretty much 'you don't buy our cars we'll take your money anyways'.
Ah well my mantra is the douchy 'mo money n' comics fo' me'.
Speaking of comics batman and robin had me clutching my chest/mouth agape at one page, i found a scan here (nsfw and very gory)

^Honestly the fact that they didn't show the action is what makes it even more horrifying to me(imagination filling in the blanks).
RAAAAAH!!! why don't people get that it's still october, CHRISTMAS IS IN FRIGGIN DECEMBER!!! I hate all those tv and radio ads about xmass sales and offers. And to top that off, I have to practice this friggin 'X-mass big-band medley' for the big cocncert in december… not only hasn't got weird ass chords (b9#13 or #7b13) but it's always changing the rythm -.-*
I won't be satisfied about christmass untill mom gets back and bakes some cookies in the middle of december… oh sweet smell of christmass cookies, how I love ye *zones out for a moment or two*
This reminds me of the myth(?) that the only time that shiny new item of yours breaks is when the warranty expires…It's not a myth. Companies do research into how long a thing can be expected to last, and/or how long it takes on average until things start getting returned for repairs. They set their warranties just under that level. Sony in particular is notorious.
There are often local (national?) laws that supersede those manufacturer warranties, something about 'reasonable product lifetime' or a phrase like that, which will make a manufacturer or outlet take something back or repair it as though it were under still under warranty. Often if your broken thing is an appliance or something expensive, it's worth looking those up.
