More Proof of the Coming Apocalypse
January 19, 2009 by Hawk.
So I’m paging around Facebook the other day (far cooler so far than MySpace which I’ve given up on almost entirely). One of the features they have is fan groups for just about any subject that anyone can think to make one for. They also show ‘related’ groups on the same page as the groups you’re in which often have NO relation to the group you’re reading.
Case in point, I was reading a group about my old hometown and looking for people I’ve lost track of over the years when Facebook offered the group “When I found out the Disney “D” WAS a “D”, it blew my mind”.
Over a hundred and sixty THOUSAND people are members of two separate groups for people so stupid they didn’t know the D in Disney was a freaking D. I bet many of these people are, right now, behind the wheel of cars, operating heavy machinery or even members of our government. These people are scary. They immediately recognize the logo as Disney. I’m sure those capable of intelligible speech even pronounced it Disney and not {weird logo thingy} Isney World/Land but over a hundred and sixty thousand couldn’t figure out that the D was a D!
Even without the ‘isney’ it still looks like a D… to me. Especially knowing it’s FROM Disney.
I am truly frightened for the future of this planet.

Now You’re Eating…
January 15, 2009 by Hawk.
Choose Real Taste…
Two slogans from Pizza Hut’s new ad campain for their new all natural pizza.
My only question now is; “What the hell have you been selling me for the past 20 years, Pizza Hut?!”

Spam is Funny!
January 14, 2009 by Hawk.
Just a couple snippets from an email I just received:
“Since the Federal Bureau of Investigation has been involved in this transaction, you are now to be rest assured that this transaction is legitimate andcompletely risk-free
We have confirmedthat the amount required to procure the Approval Slip will cost you a total of $200 USD which will be paid directly to the ATMCARD CENTER agent via Western Union Money Transfer / MoneyGram Money Transfer”
People really fall for this shit? They truly deserve to get ripped off!
Hawk (is to be rest assured!)

What’s wrong with this planet?!
January 5, 2009 by Hawk.
John Travolta’s kid died… I’m sorry Mr. Travolta, I know the pain of losing a family member.
Now why the HELL is this all over the news day after day!? Sitting in here with the TV on in the other room I just heard at least 10 minutes on the news about Jett’s death. Why?! They didn’t run a news story when my dad died. I’m sure THOUSANDS of people died that very same day but none of them are getting air time on the big three networks. What the hell is wrong with people today?? It’s not like HE was a celebrity, his one credit over at IMDB.com is for 101 Biggest Celebrity Oops which was almost certainly about his mom or dad… I just don’t get it. Why does the public care so much? Why is there so much interest in someone nearly none of us ever knew? Why is there so much news coverage?! I don’t understand…
Hawk (not a celebrity, never wants to be one)
