This is how I can hate a person without actually knowing them



















So, first things first. Holy Shit!....look at that pic of Jenna Fischer! I'm reminded of a shot of Jennifer Aniston, circa 1996. Anywho, just a quick blurb about something I noticed while screwing around on IMDB.com. Jenna Fischer is actually engaged to this guy. That's right....this guy. Not really too much more to say. I fucking hate this guy.

Point Being....Dammit Pam!

Pilot error....or ice?


I know that this crash tragically happened about a year ago, so this is not news to anyone, but I just thought that I would copy & paste some of the findings from the investigation. It's the answers you get from investigations like this one that make me anixous to fly....everytime. In case you don't know, Renslow was the Capt. and was actually flying the plane at the time of the crash. Shaw was the co-pilot. God rest their souls.

"On March 25, 2009, NTSB investigators said that icing probably did not contribute greatly to the accident. [48] On May 11, 2009, new information came out that Renslow had failed numerous tests during his career, and it was suggested that he may not have been adequately trained to respond to the emergency that led to the airplane's fatal descent. [49] Crew fatigue was also suspected, as both pilots appear to have been at Newark airport overnight and all day prior to the 9:18 pm departure.[50] In response to questioning from National Transportation Safety Board members, Colgan Air officials acknowledged that both pilots apparently were not paying close attention to the aircraft's instruments and failed to follow the airline's procedures for handling an impending stall in the final minutes of the flight. 'I believe Capt. Renslow did have intentions of landing safely at Buffalo, as well as first officer Shaw, but obviously in those last few moments ... the flight instruments were not being monitored, and that's an indication of a lack of situational awareness,' said John Barrett, Colgan's director of flight standards. The official transcript of the crew's communication, obtained from the cockpit voice recorder, as well as an animated depiction of the crash, constructed using data from the flight data recorder were made available to the public on May 12, 2009, the first day of the public hearing. Some of the crew's communication violated federal rules banning nonessential conversation. [51]"

The Pro Bowl....only for real stars


Okay, so the point of this rant is to trash Vince Young's no-talent ass. But first, just to clarify, the Pro Bowl is utterly pointless. When is the NFL going to start making this an honorary award. The real Pro Bowlers don't even show up to play anyways....which brings me to my real point. Why oh why is Vince Young a Pro Bowler? I could literally go on and on about how Vince Young is terrible and how he is completely overrated, but I really don't feel like typing for the next 2 hours. Suffice to say, I'll make one point, and then let you make up your own mind.

Okay, one thing you must know about the Pro Bowl is that each Defense is only allowed to play a basic Cover 2 or Cover 3 set and they are not allowed to blitz during the entire game. In other words, the game is set up for the Offense to be as productive as possible. I mean, anyone who has ever played Madden knows that if you run the same defensive set and aren't allowed to blitz, even my little brother could throw TDs in the Pro Bowl. (FYI: I don't have a little brother, which would seemingly make it impossible for him to throw TDs, but yet somehow, he still could, because it's just that easy.)

So, knowing what we now know, one would think that professional QBs should have no problem dropping back in the pocket, reading the D, avoid the 'non' blitz and deliver an accurate strike to the receiver, ya know, being Pro Bowlers and all. So why is it that Vince Young constantly throws INTs during every Pro Bowl. He isn't the biggest bust ever....he's just so terrible that he throws INTs to guys who aren't even allowed to really try on defense.

Point Being....Vince Young, why are you so....you?

What's the freakin' deal with Hardee's?



So what's the deal with Hardee's the last 5 years or so? They make these commercials that are just horrible....i mean, isn't the point of advertising to actually persuade viewers, readers or listeners to take some action or show some interest in a product? Then why in the world would I, or anyone for that matter, be willing to eat anything from Hardee's after watching any of their numerous commercials?

Okay, so if you can't remember one of the commercials, or the picture of the 2500 calorie, chili-cheeseburger above doesn't ring a bell, here's what I'm talking about. It seems that Hardee's is hell-bent on pissing me off and that's because I can't stand it when directors purposely place microphones as close to the actors mouths as possible, so that we are 'treated' to the delightful sound of smacking and chewing and swallowing. Ummmmmmm........delicious! Not to mention at the very end of every single ad, they end up dropping the product into camera view, allowing for us to see all the fat and whatnot dripping down off of the food.
I mean, I enjoy chili and cheese and fries and tots.....just not all mixed up together. Which reminds me....remember the famous mixed bowls from KFC? Don't get me started on KFC (once Kt ordered mashed potatoes from the drive-thru and they didn't even give her a fork!) I think Patton sums it up best!

Point being....if Hardee's wants me to eat their food, stop making terrible commercials that contain horrendous smacking noise and stop dropping your food from the sky at the end of the ad.
