I think everything is stupid

Make sure you add this guy to your Pennysaver Friends List

The day when thousands of Americans show how low-rent they can be by organizing a garage sale. From 10-year old shit-stained used baby clothes to pee-wee-sized slightly-used jerk-socks, you can find anything you’re looking for. (eBayers are not exempt. Just because you broadcast your trashiness online instead of on the neighboring light post doesn’t exempt you from being a colossal douche.)

What could possibly be better than throwing away 12 hours of your weekend selling your old C+C Music Factory cassettes, pornos on Betamax and the chair your grandpa died in for $16 dollars? How about masturbating with your right hand while sticking your left in a running garbage disposal? Tough choice, isn’t it?

Would you offer to put in a few extra hours of work to pawn off your boss’ crap if he offered you $4/hr? Apparently, there’s some additional value in working towards a personal enterprising venture.

Not to mention the fact that you’re buying somebody’s used items. The clothes that some nasty fucker, who you’ve never met, seen, smelled or tested for Swine Flu, once wore. A May 1975 Playboy that possibly both your father and grandfather jerked it to. Hell, maybe you can even get lucky and find a used toothbrush that has only been “used for about one year”.

Be forewarned that if you live on my street, don’t ever bring down my property value by putting your trash out on the lawn. I promise that if you do I’ll put a much more valuable piece of property on your Sales Table, as I’m running you over with my car.

With today’s headline “Told You: Digg Applying the User Voting Model to Advertising,” TechCrunch upholds the highest editorial standards, including the standard allowing the Editor in Chief to flaunt his amazing foresight and belittle his doubting-Thomas readers.  Way to keep it professional, Mike.

Apparently Microsoft’s new Bing search engine is successful.  Why? According to Michael Arrington at TechCrunch, Bing is “something of a hit” because a tenuous majority of his readers says it is, although if you actually read the comments many are positive but most are just shocked it doesn’t completely suck.

Arrington didn’t even bother to run a poll or survey of his own readers - he just read through the comments and declared a Microsoft victory in his headline, thereby guaranteeing pageviews and a whole new heap of blog comments.  That’s great marketing, but what happened to real journalism?

For a more sensible review, try Mashable.

Ok, come on dude.

In sentencing, Magistrate Dick Wallace said the defendant had already spent time in prison for a similar offence but had obviously not learned that the behaviour was unacceptable.

“It’s the sort of thing that makes the public very worried … it’s offensive and it’s worrying,” he said.

“I hope you won’t do these sorts of disturbing things again.”

Uh, he will.
