Cowards

On Sunday's 'Curb Your Enthusiasm,' Larry David was taking a "new pill" that caused him to urinate with excessive force. This caused a lot of splash back, some of which ended up on a Jesus painting hanging on the bathroom wall of his pious assistant, who later sees Jesus "crying" and assumes a miracle has taken place. Catholics and other Christians complained. HBO did not apologize. It said that's just the way we are, we make fun of everyone.


Is this true? Do you think they would have made the same scene with David peeing on a picture of Allah. No! Media hypocrites are a bunch of cowards. They only attack those who they know will not fight back. They know outraged Christians will only complain, and not bomb HBO offices.

Benefit

Time Warner, to show its commitment to moving toward more "environmentally friendly" operating practices, gives a "benefit" to customers who switch from paper billing to online billing. What is that benefit; a one dollar "credit" to their account each month. Those who chose not to receive this benefit would have a one dollar "Paper Statement Service Charge" added to their bill each month. So what is the "benefit" you receive for switching to online billing; not getting charged a dollar each month for not switching.

Navy Slogan

The powers that be in the Navy decided it was time for a new Navy slogan, so they paid hundreds of thousands of dollars to an ad agency to recommend one. What did they come up with:
America's Navy: A Global Force for Good
So now the United States Navy is America's Navy. Does this included all of North America and South America, or just our parts of the Americas.

Is the Navy really a force for good? According to a majority of voters in the last national election, the military in general is a force for bad.

This slogan sounds as if it were dreamed up by child from the seventies who thinks of the Navy as a group of "Super Friends." He or she probably also wants to rename the Pentagon to the "Hall of Justice."

Every country in the world will want to cheer when the Navy arrive in their ports, knowing that the global force force for good as arrived. And, as the slogan implies, they should be prepared for the Navy to enforce its version of good upon them.

Twisted Logic

In Bizarro World, a radio commentator, Rush Limbaugh, can be fired from a sportscasting job and prevented from becoming a part owner in a football team because of a disparaging remark he made about one black quarterback. While a politician, Barak Obama, can be elected President and awarded a Nobel Prize for making numerous disparaging  remarks about millions of white Americans and the country in general.

Definition of Bizarro World

Bizarro is a fictional comic book super villain who is the arch nemesis and direct opposite of Superman. Bizarro lives in Bazarro World where twisted logic is commonplace and everything is the opposite of our world; therefore, in Bizarro World, Bizarro is a hero. Our world is seems bizarre sometimes.

Textbook

What if a textbook did not put all exam requirements in the same place?What if had to search the entire book for what you thought were the requirements, and then, once you found what you thought were the correct requirements, you had to out them in order of importance and when they should occurrence? What if, to form a paragraph that told the whole story, you had to search the entire book for what you thought were sentences that belonged in the paragraph, put the sentences in correct order, and then interpret what the completed paragraph meant? What if the requirements were vague and open to interpretation, and were mixed into parables or totally unrelated subjects? What if you were to be tested on what the author of the textbook meant to say, but the textbook, instead of being written by the author, was written by numerous ghost writers who wrote about what they thought the author had said to someone else decades before.What if your score on the final exam would determine if you went to heaven or hell for eternity? There is such a textbook; it is called the Bible.

2012: End of the World

Another end of the world prediction; this time it is because 2012 is the supposed end date of the Mayan calendar. How may times has a predicted end date come and gone and their is still no end in sight? Usually the predictors do not say they were wrong when nothing happens on their end dates, they just say their calculations were wrong and issue a new date, or they say that the end date was not really the end, just the beginning of the end. The only things predictions accomplish is to build the ego of the predictors and enrichen their wallets due to book sales and public appearances. When it end comes, it comes, there is nothing anyone can do about it; so, get a life, and then make something of it.

Nobel Prize

According to the Nobel Committee, it is not what  you are doing or what you have done, it is want you say you are going to do. Apparently, they have no experience dealing with politicians.

Medicare Fraud

Obama "says" he will pay for his heath care plan by eliminating fraud in Medicare. If this can be done, why is he not doing it now; why wait?
