Tweet So, there appears to be a bit of a kerfuffle (damn I love that word) over everything from intellectual property rights to copy rights and internet memes and all kinds of legal crap over whether or not the new Chevy ad below stole its concept from the popular blog, DearPhotograph. Of course the […]

Tweet Let’s get one thing clear right from the start – people are assholes. Which people you may ask? All of them, all people are assholes. Me, you, them. All colors, all races, all creeds, and all religions. When it all comes down to it, we’re all a bunch of assholes. The biggest assholes of […]

Tweet Take it from a guy who used to weigh over 250 pounds without nearly the frame to support it, gum is not dessert! Gum is not a plate of strawberry shortcake, it’s not a hot fudge sunday and it sure ain’t a delicious chocolate chip cookie. So please stop trying to tell me it […]

Tweet Pepsi Max spent $3 million on this Super Bowl ad that prominently features spousal abuse and assault: The poor man in this spot is kicked and has his head slammed into a table as well as having soap shoved in his mouth which devotees of “A Christmas Story” know full well can very easily […]
