The question of the day is… Who brings a gun to a toy store?
Two morons bring a gun to a toy store, and the women they are with get into an altercation, now in normal circumstances, the dispute would have been resolved in a peaceful manner, but in Palm Desert what do you do, you pull out guns an have a shoot out at the TRU corral…
So far no motive as been disclosed as to the original arguement, but I’m willing to bet that it was something very trivial. I wonder how important it will be on Christmas morning, when these womens, and presumably the mens children wake up to no father, and I wonder if either of these women will have the guts to tell the kids about the stupid thing that cost them their father.

In this current era of sue regardless of fault, I wonder how long it will be before the families of these 2 morons file a suit against Toys R Us, for allowing this to happen?

No sooner are we rid of the incessant political ads to the incessant Black Friday ads. The last place I want to be on the Friday following Thanksgiving is anywhere remotely near a store. 

I don’t know what motivates anyone to go and camp out in front of a WalMart or Kmart, only to find out you are 5th in line, and the store 4 of the item you came for. 

I remember just a few short years ago, it was normal store hours, and people lined up to get the toy of the year, because there wasn’t going to be enough of that item, and now stores have “Special Hours” and “Door Buster” prices where the best discount is only available between 5AM and 6AM.

The stupidity has now gone beyond the big box stores, and now everybody is in on the act. Verizon’s ads implying that the friendship is over if there is only one of a particular model phone left at the store. 

I fear that we are moving closer and closer to idiocracy, and all that it implies, and it pretty much proves that most of this country is cattle, under the control of the mass media cowboys…

But look on the bright side, because Friday night, we can all sit back and watch as cattle people all over the country trample their fellow man in the name of giving.

It was announced the other day that YouTube is now banning Terrorism Training Videos, that is something that you’d think was pretty much a given in this day and age.

The real pisser on this is that Google/YouTube did not do this voluntarily, “The move comes after pressure on the internet search engine from Connecticut Senator Joseph Lieberman.” 

My guess is that if you jump in bed with a totalitarian government like they did with the Chinese, maybe it would be a good idea to give those oppressed by that government to tools to break free from the communist chains.

Another woman yanked her baby carrier from the backseat of her Escalade and set it out in the street. Driver’s side. In front of moving traffic. Then leaned back inside to fuck with shit in the vehicle. As I’ve said before: I see this at least once or twice a week, and not from the same woman. People are fucking dumb as shit. Wait. Shit is smarter.

Yep. You read correctly. I’m not stt-tt-tt-uttering. Ok, maybe a little.

So, what’s up with the fucking dumbass naming conventions lately? I thought the Linux world owned the rights to fucking stupid names like Feisty Fawn, Dapper Dickhead, Whorry Hedgehole, and apps like Joomla. (what the fuck is a Joomla anyway? nevermind. Don’t answer that).

Then came Microsoft and their penchant for the fucking stupid long names like “Microsoft Windows Vista Ultimate Extras Edition” and “System Center Configuration Manager” or even “Internet Explorer”. The competition has names like OSX, Tivoli, OpenView and Firefox. Simple. Brief. Not good enough for the overpaid marketing goons in Redmond.

But wait! If you call before midnight tonight!… you’ll discover that hardware isn’t immune to marketing idiocy at its best. How about Intel’s preferences for naming chips? Tigerton? WTF? Merced? Klimath? Who cares if they’re proper names for places. Why not “Moorehead” or “Brisbane” or “Hiroshima”? Those are places too? Tigerton? Geez.

I have a solution: go back to version numbering. Versions that include the date/period are nice. Simple. Helpful. When did Pentium 4 HT come out? I dunno. When did chip 2007.01.1234 come out? I’d guess sometime in early 2007. For God’s sake, even Apple has enough sense to use a version number with OSX. Hence 10.4. Don’t hold your breath for a version following behind “Windows Vista Home Premium Edition”.

I wonder why we sacrifice so many brave men and women in the middle east when we could simply dress up marketing pukes as soldiers and let them market their services in the Al Anbar or Waziristan provinces. I’m sure the locals would embrace them warmly (and explosively). The world is getting dumber and dumber every day.
