Squash It.

Last month a couple of kids at Covina High were arrested for planning capping some people and for bringing guns on campus, in addition to stealing the guns in the first place. Luckily it was just for the planning as opposed to the actual capping.

What's even worse? "Covina High students knew their classmates brought guns to school at least three times but failed to tell teachers or administrators, the school's principal said Friday."

Yeah, people actually knew, but decided it was best to not tell anyone. Because if there's one thing that's worse than kids getting killed, it's snitching. Morons.

I guess they never watched Family Matters.



Or maybe they were all listening to the prophet Riley Freeman.
















To boil it down, snitches are bitches.

No Shit, Sherlock.

I have quite a few DVD's, all acquired legally. I know that there's some stuff, disclaimers and the like, that are shown in front of the movie on them. It's fast and it's probably a CYA type of thing. I'm fine with that.

However, this annoys the hell out of me:









Seriously? I already legally bought the freakin' DVD. You're going to lecture me on not pirating movies or buying pirated movies? That's damned patronizing, movie studios.

How about a thank you for buying it legally and giving you money instead?

In truth, I think that the Somali pirates that are hijacking vessels and ransoming off the crew need this message more than me.

Thank You, Reuters

"Omgomg! my fans rock! the movie is doing great you guys!" Cyrus, 16, said in a Twitter message, using the "omg" acronym as shorthand for "Oh my God."

Thanks for that insightful explanation. I just wonder if that was added by the editor, of if it was the writer that put that in. I don't know what's worse, that "omg" exists, or that it needs to be explained in a Reuters article.

You're confusing enough as it is.

I think there should be a moratorium on women using the term "girlfriend." I don't mean that they shouldn't have friends that are girls, but it just makes it confusing. I mean, I really don't want to have to buy you drinks and listen to you drabble on about how one of your girlfriends did this or that, and then find out that you're a "little bit gay" and that the real reason you were in the bathroom so long wasn't because that's what girls do, but because you were giving your real phone number to the woman in the stall next to you, and I get the fake one. Yeah, I sent in a ringer, so I know what really went on. What of it? That's why women as wingmen help by the way.

Just keep it clear. If you really need to talk about a friend, she's a friend. If she's a girlfriend, it should mean you're gay. I mean, what are the chances that I have to hit on the lesbian in a freakin' Western bar? I mean, I know about Brokeback and all that, but c'mon what are the odds? If I have to be the minority in there, that should be enough.

You're hard enough to understand as it is. I don't need the English language mucking things up for me.

The kids in England know how it's done.

This is probably one of the most awesome Google Earth pranks in the history of Google Earth pranks. What makes it more awesome? The prim and proper use of English in the article.

I do have to say though, that that is a horrible rendition. Kid should have been able to do better.

I love you, Japan

I'm inclined to think that the racist imagery in Resident Evil 5 is borne out of ignorance rather than sheer malice. I mean, it's a multi-million dollar company making a video game that's supposed to be sold in many countries, among them the United States. I don't think that the average multi-national company would intentionally attempt that to make a point about Africa in a malicious way.

In other words, it's just Japan.

This too, is also just Japan. Those whacky guys.


























I notice that they stuck with "white" Jesus as opposed to Jewish Jesus or black Jesus. Then again, it's better than Aryan Jesus I suppose.

Oh, and for the title question? I'm pretty sure he's here to *Spoiler Alert* save the world.

Why Star Trek XI Will Rock

Because one of the Asian gets to induct James Tiberius Kirk into the Nation's Punched.














Probably should have ripped his shirt first.
