Advertising: Barf & Eggs

An MSN.com article reveals that US Airways is planning to sell advertising space on their barf bags. The idea's not bad, sure, but what kind of company would actually advertise on barf bags? I suppose roller coaster theme parks could. You know, something along the lines of, "If you thought this plane ride made you sick, come check out Upchuck Amusement Park, St. Louis, Missouri." Or, maybe, a company selling castor oil? "This bag is for when you don't want to puke. We're there for when you do."

In a related story, CBS is planning to advertise their upcoming fall TV lineup on egg shells. While I can almost applaud the move as brilliant marketing, I have to wonder about the consumer who is O.K. with eating eggs with advertisments laser-printed on them.

Bush Gropes German Chancellor


HuffingtonPost.com has an interesting article today, involving, once again, our illustrious leader and his Spring break antics at the G8 summit. Apparently, Mr. Bush gave an affectionate shoulder rub to the German Chancellor, Angela Merkel. The pictures kinda look like either her Kaopectate kicked in, or she really didn't appreciate the Liar-In-Chief's hands on her.

Your call.

My opinion? This may just be the thing we've been looking for to get Bushie out of office. I mean, it worked for getting Clinton impreached, right?

The Cursed Cursing President

Apparently, according to a recent MSN article, our, um.... fearless leader got caught on tape curing about Syria and recent attacks on Israel. His other comments to the world's other leaders were almost as brilliant, and covered such pressing topics as his preference for Diet Coke and a gift from British Prime Minister, Tony Blair.

Kenneth Lay like Jesus?

In a recent CNN.com article regarding the memorial services for recently deceased shyster, Kenneth Lay, who died while vacationing in Colorado following a conviction six weeks earlier for shafting hundreds of thousands of energy customers.

You know how everybody, for a while there, was wearing those "WWJD" (What Would Jesus Do) bracelets? After reading this, it makes me wonder just what, in fact, Jesus would do upon hearing this news. Probably nothing, but my wild imagination makes me think that, perhaps, Jesus would get on his knees and pray, "Dear Lord, please remove this loathsome thing, and striketh him from my presence."

And then this huge lightning bolt would come down and incinerate the guy who said it.

But maybe it's only me who would laugh like crazy about it.

Welcome

Hey, 'Net-izens,

I'm using this blog to wax philosophical on the stupid, weird, and ridiculous things that happen in the world, and I hope you enjoy the ride.

You don't have to agree with me. In fact, I hope you DON'T agree with me.
