Praying for Evil – SCO and the RIAA

Posted in Miscellaneous on October 17th, 2003 by Brad – Be the first to comment

I’m not a religious person, but I wonder if it’s wrong to pray for bad things to happen to bad people. I’ve heard Howard Stern do it, so it must be okay.

In particular, I want bad things to happen to people from SCO and the RIAA. And preferably in public where everybody can see what happens to people who have no soul.

Oh, I don’t mean anything horrific like wishing disease or poverty upon them or their innocent families. After all, who really needs that kind of bad karma? I just mean little things, like maybe they stub a toe really hard, or their cable goes out for a week, or maybe a freeloading relative that they hate moves in. Whatever.

Anyway, next time you’re within physical striking distance of an RIAA or SCO employee, just give ‘em a good hard smack to the back of the neck to remind them that they serve absolutely no purpose in society and that if they all disappeared tomorrow, not only would nobody miss them, but the world would be a better place.

Arby’s Bread Sandwich

It’s comforting to know I’m not the first person to feel wronged by the difference between fast food ad pictures and the actual pathetic product. Arby’s seems to be the worst offender. In fact, I went googling to see what others had to say about Arby’s, and found a great article on the subject right here in a home town paper…

I was ready to do some high level bitching here, but that article kind of stole my thunder. I’m glad he did the research, because the details of the whole false advertising thing were gnawing at me. Apparently false advertising is perfectly legal. Who knew?

Final Jeopardy Outs Trebek

Alex Trebek OutedNot that there’s anything wrong with that.

Happened to run across this picture we snapped over the summer and thought this might be a good place to put it. We paused the DVR right before final jeopardy, and this is what was on still.

Never thought I’d snap a picture of the TV for any reason, but this seemed at least a little worthy.

Is this funny at all? I’m just not sure…
