I would like to take the opportunity to thank Discover for being full of douchey goodness.  You guys suck!  How is it possible that economic environment would make you raise the rate on my account?  You already have garbage rates and I pay my bill up on time every month.  So, now you are trying to make that extra little bit off of everyone who pay regularly?  Get a better business model.  How about now giving cards to everyone with horrible credit or fresh out of high school?  I have friends who have great jobs, and they haven’t been able to get one card from anyone.  I guarantee that if I go to spring break and get a stupid cheap towel, that I can get a credit card.  What a bunch of losers you guys are, and I am not talking about the daily workers.  I am talking about the middle and upper management dingbats that run the company.  How about doing something right for a change and not jacking up your good customers.  I hope your company continues to go through financial hell until you fail and are removed from earth.  You suck!

Regardless of what the music industry says, music piracy is still alive and still very strong. The general way of thinking in a big music company is that if you get enough press about winning lawsuits against pirates it will slow things down. This, as everyone knows, is absolutely stupid and is just what you would expect from an executive. The truth is, most of the people who are sued don’t have the cash to pay the judgement, so the lawsuit costs more than the amount earned from the judgement. On top of that, they sometimes get the wrong people because of all the bot-nets out there.

The lawsuits have been coming fast and furious, but what has happened to music piracy? Nothing! Napster is gone now, but there are tons of other networks now. Recently the owners of The Pirate Bay were found guilty and were sentenced to 1 year and 1 million in damages, however nothing changed in the piracy world. In fact, there are other versions of the same website hosted elsewhere. You can see how stupid this approach is right? (more…)

I really would like to see the media get together and have a swine flu party. They could enjoy cocktails laced with light doses of swine flu, or H1N1, as they are calling it now. Can’t you see this now? All these talking heads hanging out and dancing with each other without knowing that they are drinking large amounts of swine flu. What if they all got sick? What would happen to the news? Would they all come on television and yammer on about how they got the illness and they are going to die? (more…)

I watched a bunch of Coors Light commercials this weekend, while watching the draft, and I think that the executives at Coors are idiots. I remember being a kid when I had cups that did crap like this, and then I became an adult and realized that I had hands that sense cold. I don’t understand why someone would buy a Coors Light simply because they can tell the beer is cold by looking at a label. Are you trying to tell me that I can’t pick up the bottle and feel the temperature of the bottle with my hands? Why do companies put little to no effort into their product? What happened to the days when a company tried to make a better product and not just use stupid gimmicks to sell beer. (more…)
