Just for the sake of argument, let’s pretend that April Fool’s day “stories” on the internets were funny at one point. No matter how generous your definition of that date may be it’s still “a long fucking time ago”.
I was on my way to a customer site today when the Cranberries “Linger” started playing.
On TWO stations.
Thanks ClearChannel! We sure owe you one…
How is it that the FCC can spend so much energy keeping nipples and profanity off the air, but when it comes to something that’s actually profane they’re nowhere to be found? It’s not even that I’m offended by the Cranberries. I like Linger just fine, really. It’s the fact that a company, any company, can simply OWN the entirety of something public. It’s like if Chevy owned every bus in town. It’s not about what they DO, it’s about what they COULD DO. It’s a horrible precedent. I’m no fan of making ethereal slippery slope arguments, but … fuck, man. Why do people put up with this shit?
Wake up sheeple?
Oh well, maybe in B-Rock’s second term he’ll have time to tackle that bunch of hapless ninnies.
He’s actually got a free Paris one as well, which is losing by a minimum of 2:1 to the jail version. (40k vs 20k)
Honestly though, given the facts of her crime and “regular” person would have served the full 90 days as mandated by the sentencing guidelines. Mandatory minimums, for once, having a positive effect.
In years past, before the onset of “adulthood”, I could sleep forever. I could sleep for 12 hours, hit the can, take a nap for an hour, then go back to sleep. Fast forward to today – I can’t seem to sleep past 9am. I blame him. I cope with this rather tragic turn of events by napping. My couch is rather comfy anyway…
Tuesday was as uneventful as Monday. I dropped my work laptop off at my former place of employment so I have to scrounge a workable box out of the mound of spare parts that have been collecting here for the last decade+. The first rig I tried had a non-functional version of gentoo on it and refused to bend for XP allow.
She’s All That was on StarzHD today… don’t ask. Rachel Leigh Cook in HD is incredibly cute, FYI. So is the SD version, but that’s neither here nor there. While it’s not readily apparent in type, I just spent 10 minutes finding an appropriate image URL for Rachel. Let’s just say images.google dropped the ball. Badly.
I tried to play Knights of the Old Republic tonight and ultimately quit in disgust. I got the same ich feeling I do when trying to replay Diablo and such on modern machinery. I get that they can’t make use of widescreen, but it feels like I have a frakkin mouse plugged into a cave wall.
