Ron Paul: Road to REVOLution

Posted on April 19th, 2012 at 17:11 by Desiato in category: ¿ʞɔnɟ ǝɥʇ ʇɐɥʍ, Indecision 2012

[Kickstarter]:

The Road to REVOLution is a sidescrolling platformer action/adventure game, reminiscent of console classics like Super Mario Brothers and Sonic the Hedgehog.

You play the role of Ron Paul and make your way across all 50 states collecting Gold (sound money) and Delegates.

I’m sure that’ll be a huge hit.

Tumblr to introduce paid advertisements for brands

Posted on April 19th, 2012 at 14:55 by Desiato in category: News, What were they thinking?

[Quote]:

Blogging platform Tumblr is to introduce paid advertisements on its service, despite its owner once saying that online ads "turn our stomachs".

“If you’re not paying for it, you are the product.”

Updated to fix the quote.

  1. So John, when are you going to start charging money?

    Srsly bummed out that Tumblr is adding advertising. I’d rather pay for the site. But all those 40 millions 14 yo wouldn’t I guess. And probably there will be a browser extension that can fix this.

The real tragedy of the Titanic…

Posted on April 17th, 2012 at 12:10 by John Sinteur in category: Funny!

There are many stories related to the sinking of the “Titanic.” Some have just come to light due to the success of the movie. For example, most people don’t know that back in 1912, Hellman’s mayonnaise was manufactured in England. The “Titanic” was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after New York City. The Mexican people were eagerly awaiting delivery and were disconsolate at the loss. So much so that they declared a national day of mourning which they still observe today. It is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

  1. I’ve always held that puns longer than a sentence do not pass mustard.

  2. Okay, how’s this one:

    If a guy with a foot fetish cheats on his wife, does that mean he got off on the wrong foot?

  3. I think you should ketchup with the details of my first comment. :)

  4. Saw that one, but couldn’t resist making a short pun anyway :-)

  5. Well, it was kind of saucy.

  6. Well, Sinko de Mayo is a bit of one-trick pony holiday when it comes to puns. The day before it has opportunities as well: May the 4th be with you!

  7. And I admit, not responding to the mustard pun was a missed steak.

  8. Although I hope I had some margarine for error.

  9. (*kicks in open door*) You’d butter believe it!

  10. Dairy say I’m glad to hear it?

  11. Mayo jokes all be cheezy!

  12. Well, there’s stiltons of bad puns left….

Hotel Wifi JavaScript Injection

Posted on April 6th, 2012 at 10:13 by John Sinteur in category: If you're in marketing, kill yourself, What were they thinking?

[Quote]:

In short, Marriott is injecting JavaScript into the HTML of every webpage its hotel customers view for the purpose of injecting ads (and in the meantime, breaking YouTube). Marriott’s wireless internet service provider is a third-party company called Hotel Internet Services, so it is possible, though unlikely, that Marriott doesn’t know what’s going on. But it’s crazy to me that I’m paying $368 a night for a hotel room, and this is how I get treated.

A Quantum Theory of Mitt Romney – NYTimes.com

Posted on April 2nd, 2012 at 11:44 by Desiato in category: Funny!, Indecision 2012

[Quote]:

Before Mitt Romney, those seeking the presidency operated under the laws of so-called classical politics, laws still followed by traditional campaigners like Newt Gingrich. Under these Newtonian principles, a candidate’s position on an issue tends to stay at rest until an outside force — the Tea Party, say, or a six-figure credit line at Tiffany — compels him to alter his stance, at a speed commensurate with the size of the force usually large and in inverse proportion to the depth of his beliefs invariably negligible. This alteration, framed as a positive by the candidate, then provokes an equal but opposite reaction among his rivals.

(…)

In much the same way that light is both a particle and a wave, Mitt Romney is both a moderate and a conservative, depending on the situation (Fig. 1). It is not that he is one or the other; it is not that he is one and then the other. He is both at the same time.

Totally funny and worth reading in its entirety.

  1. Today, Ann Romney was asked about Romney being “too stiff”: “I guess we better unzip him and let the real Mitt Romney out because he is not!”

  1. With his bizarre obsession fighting everything that might evoke any association with homosexuality, it becomes more and more probable that Rick Santorum is a closeted gay.

  2. This sounds like one of those regrettable jokes where the punchline is “I’ve never looked.”

People often ask me if my editor ever rejects particular Dilbert comics for one reason or another. It’s rare, but it happens. In fact, it happened yesterday. You won’t see this comic in newspapers. I guess I went, um, a little too far. You be the judge.

Miljoenen zien première Mad Men 5; waarom wij pas in 2013?

Posted on March 27th, 2012 at 9:31 by Desiato in category: ¿ʞɔnɟ ǝɥʇ ʇɐɥʍ, Nederland is Gek!

[Quote]:

‘We zijn in Nederland ooit te laat begonnen met het uitzenden van de serie, dan loop je al snel achter. En nu is het probleem dat er op Nederland 2 weinig plek is om de serie te programmeren. Door alle documentaires en andere programma’s die voor en na Nieuwsuur staan, is er pas plek vanaf begin volgend jaar.’

Een plek op Nederland 3 – waar makkelijker nieuwe series kunnen worden geprogrammeerd – is volgens hem niet mogelijk. ‘Daar past het niet. Op die zender staan series als Homeland en Dexter en heeft daarmee een ander profiel’.

Mad Men hoort op Nederland 2, bevestigt ook Gerard Timmer, hoofd van de Publieke Omroep in een korte reactie: ‘Als we het op Nederland 3 zouden programmeren zou dat de kijker van dat net verwarren. We programmeren op de profielen van de netten om kijkers ermee vertrouwd te maken. Zo weten zij welk type programma ze op welk net kunnen verwachten.’

Summary: Mad Men Season 5 can’t (“”) be broadcast in the Netherlands until next year because there’s no space on the channel it “belongs on” and putting it on one of the channels where there’s space would “confuse the audience” about the curated themes of the channels.

  1. So next year it will flop because everybody already watched it on Pirate Channel Internation?

  2. And these pinheads wonder why there is so much “piracy” (read “illegal” downloads/sharing) of media?

  3. “confuse the audience” probably means “makes it more difficult to sell advertising on that particular channel”.

  4. Hmmm. Reasonable guess. And I’d imagine that the advertising around a popular American series probably subsidizes some of the other content, so that actually almost makes sense.

  3. Crikey! (Wouldn’t want to get on the wrong side of that little moppet.)

    However, all that “raven’s o’r the ruined land” stuff is a bit much guys. Especially if the U.S. economy isn’t quite tanking just yet.

Kansas man gets 7 years plus for bath salts

Posted on March 20th, 2012 at 23:07 by John Sinteur in category: ¿ʞɔnɟ ǝɥʇ ʇɐɥʍ

[Quote]:

A Kansas man has been sent to federal prison for nearly eight years for possessing bath salts in Nebraska before they specifically were made illegal by state and federal law.

“This is not your run of the mill drug case,” Steven Miles Sullivan’s attorney, Glenn Shapiro, said at sentencing last week. “He thought he was complying with the law.”

That’s because when a deputy stopped Sullivan on Oct. 27, 2010, in Otoe County and Sullivan said he had K2 and a bag of bath salts in his vehicle neither was illegal.

Both are now, under both state and federal law.

  1. I’m like that old lady in the Doonesbury cartoon, “Bath salts? Nice boy getting a present for his granny?”

    Graham James, the former ice hockey pedophile, just got 2 years for ruining the lives of two young men. Is already in prison for two others. Go figure.

  2. I thought this was a bit too bizarre… Bath salts, really? Turns out “bath salts” means new recational drugs meant to imitate stuff like meth and ecstacy.

    The illegality of structurally similar chemicals is undoubtedly in place to avoid drugs becoming legal from minor chemical modifications.

    And then there’s this bit:
    “Over 11 years, Kopf said, Sullivan had 12 contacts with law enforcement, all but two involving controlled substances.”

    I’m not arguing that it’s now clear that the guy was wrongly convicted or that the sentence was reasonable; it seems like a crazy sentence to me. But it also seems like there may (!) have been a reasonable case against him.

Law firm fires 14 employees for wearing orange shirts

Posted on March 20th, 2012 at 13:26 by John Sinteur in category: ¿ʞɔnɟ ǝɥʇ ʇɐɥʍ

[Quote]:

They weren’t wearing sagging pants or revealing clothing. But dressing in an orange shirt is apparently enough to get fired at one Florida law firm, where 14 workers were unceremoniously let go last Friday.

In an interview with the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel, several of the fired workers say they wore the matching colors so they would be identified as a group when heading out for a happy hour event after work. They say the executive who fired them initially accused them of wearing the matching color as a form of protest against management.

[..]

Ironically, had the employees been wearing orange as a form of protest, it would have been illegal to fire them, ABC News reports.
