Black Friday is simply to die for…literally

November 28, 2008 — Leave a comment

Here this the main reason why I do not participate in consumerist holidays or events.  Both the power and stupidity of “the herd” or “the crowd” mentality is absolutely amazing to me!

Besides, if you think about what your hourly wage is, how much time you have to spend waiting in line or fighting (I guess now it is moshing) with other people to get products then you would realize that you gained absolutely nothing by shopping on Black Friday.  The cost in time, transportation, parking, getting up early, the hassle of dealing with other people and now the risk of injury/dying = simply not worth it. Perhaps next year Walmart will think about hiring concert security to ensure the safety of its customers on Black Friday from now on.

I think people really need to stop and ask themselves: is it worth dying or getting killed or killing someone else (directly or indirectly) to get a flat screen TV for $100 cheaper or a bag of waffles for five bucks? If you don’t already know the answer this question, please stop reading this blog and go shopping :)

I will leave you with the Walmart motto “Save Money. Live Better” though it can be kind of hard to do either of these when you are six feet under!

Paris for President? What has our Country come to?

August 14, 2008 — Leave a comment

This viral video spoof shows you how entirely stupid political ad campaigns are!!! With the millions they waste on attack adds and ill marketing they could be helping thousands of Americans who really need a hand right about now.

See more Paris Hilton videos at Funny or Die

The thing that is entirely NOT funny about this video is that Paris Hilton would probably be a better president because she is not a politician. Even though she is an idiot the question this begs is are these politicians and their policies stupider? Your average citizen could probably come up with more reasonable and sensible legislation, or a least summon up some ethics and morals. Our country is in a sad state when Paris is looking like a better bet.

This is Thunderball Pete signing on. Though I have never been a big fan of Mini or Mini Coopers I must admit that their Hammer & Coop viral add campaign is simply badass. What do you get when you mix together bad 70’s hair, bad 80’s Rock, Ninjas, a Mini Cooper gone Knight Rider with a bad British accent, tightey whiteys, random side kicks, retarded Russian Mafia, an a government experiment gone awry? There is only one answer to this bizzzzzar question:

HAMMER & COOP – Official Website

Check out the official website you are guaranteed to laugh.

Action Name Generator
There is a cool feature on the H&C website, an Action Name Generator where you put in your real name and get an “action” name. It is really well designed and totally over the top. Here are some action names I created out of the generator

(Real Name = Action Name)

Todd Pitt = Thunderball Pete

Maynard Brown = Mad Dog Ball Bearings

Demerie Hill = Decker Hurricane

Kyoko Kobayashi = Kerosene Kaboom

Nick West = Nails Winters

Alexis Mitchell = Axle Grease Magnum

Jordan Shirkey = Jigsaw Seawolf

Paul Guzman = Pulverizer Grinder

Steve Pitt = Stun Gun Pete

Carolyn Forche = Cutter Fisticuffs

As Jim Turtledove would say – “You gotta be kidd’n me”

Todd Needs – The Internet is Run by Psychic Ninja

January 16, 2007 — Leave a comment

This is a very interesting activity. Go to Google and type in your first name “Todd” and the word “needs” then hit go. I was not aware that the internet is run by psychic ninjas but apparently that is indeed the case because the following five statements came up and every one of them is true. Freaking weird.

Todd needs messages that have not been anticipated by the person designing the overlay.

Meaning: I want answers from the universe that God didn’t think anyone would ever ask.

Todd needs to know he has friends on the outside thinking about him.

Meaning:Without friends, really who are we and what is the point of it all?

Todd needs to follow the rules that he has been aware of all along. He must fulfill his contractual obligation just as all his coworkers must.

Meaning: I know the rules, and the guy who made them. Believe me he is an idiot. So you can follow them if you want to be another Mr. Smith, but not me sucka.

Todd needs a hacker.

Meaning: Todd has too many web projects to possibly code on his own. Hook a brother up.

Todd needs a favor.

Meaning: Neo needs a line out of the big M every now and then.
