False dichotomy

Wednesday, March 12th, 2008

There is a lot I don’t like about the world: slow walkers, erratic drivers, people who chew with their mouths open, txt-speak, and kittens. Okay, I don’t hate kittens. Kittens with spikes all over them (war kittens!), maybe, but not regular kittens.

Anyways, there’s one thing I hate above all else: the idea that there are only two kinds of people in politics. Everyone encounters it. You’re either a Democrat or a Republican. You’re a conservative or a liberal. You’re a crazy, left-wing, terrorist-loving moonbat or a war-mongering, right-wing, bible-thumping wingnut. You’re either with us or against us.

This is bunk and everyone knows it. The world isn’t black and white, people. There’s a hell of a lot of gray in there.

Taco Bell and Daniella

Saturday, March 8th, 2008

So I walked into a Taco Bell the other day and noticed that some of the sauce packets were colored purple. I picked one up and saw that it had a link on it: DirectDaniella.com

I visited the site today and…um, wow. Taco Bell apparently decided to hook up with Sports Illustrated to create a website where you are the photographer for a swimsuit model in the Grand Cayman Islands. Why? I can’t even imagine. It’s certainly an odd promotion, especially since I can’t see anyone but single guys taking the time to check this site out to its fullest extent.

At least it’s better than what I originally thought it was: a contest where the prize was the chance to be the photographer at a photo shoot for Sports Illustrated. That would certainly be a prize targeted at a limited demographic.

Impromptu Break

Tuesday, March 4th, 2008

Apologies for the lack of posts recently. Contrary to popular belief, I have not been abducted by aliens, killed by the government (or 9/11 Truthers), or lost all my fingers in a freak finger football accident. Maybe I’ll rant about something soon. I know there’s enough material out there…
