You sure you don't want to follow this up with a comment about how male CEOs just buy stuff to prove how big their penises are? Balance is good, if you are going to roll out stereotypes, do it for both sides.
We watched two more displays (yawn) and you know the only one anybody is talking about? Yup, the one that all went off at the same time. You know which ones I'll be telling as a great story for years to come? Yup, the one that screwed up. Do you think anybody cares what the Sea World fireworks looked like July 4 2012? No, no they don't. Hell, I forgot them 10 minutes after they were finished.
The screw up was fantastic to watch and I'll still tell people about it years later: "Ever wonder what it would look and sound like if they all went off at the same time? Been there, witnessed that."
So it sucks people paid to park and sat in the chilly evening, but c'mon, now you have a great story. Nobody would care to hear about the fireworks if they had worked!
- Unsubstantiated link of violent video games and aggressive behaviour
- Request to put warning on all video games (except those for 3yrs old and younger)
This has to be something they tasked an intern with.
I'm a Canadian who happens to be living the the U.S.A. and my American friends are generally shocked when I explain the hoops I had to jump through and the restrictions put on me and my wife to get a green card. The entire process was done by a law firm, thank goodness, but I still had the feeling that the U.S.A. really didn't want me here. Took around three 1/2 years to get it, pretty quick by some standards.
- My wife wasn't allowed to work at all for the first three years, spousal visa (she was aiming for one of those coveted coffee serving jobs).
- I missed my fathers wedding because "If you leave the country, you aren't serious about your green card, and you don't want anything to happen to the application do you?"
- We had to cancel a vacation because the government *might* start processing our green card application and if we aren't in the country when they start, they'll throw the application away. Not that they need to contact us you understand, it just showed we weren't serious if we went on vacation outside the country.
- A co-worker is from Lebanon, he has to tell immigration why he is leaving the country *before* he leaves or they will not let him back in (even with his valid H1B visa).
So yeah, it wasn't exactly welcoming.
Just in case people are wondering:
- The position was open for eight months for an American to take it, they couldn't find anybody with the skills
- Why don't I move back to Canada? I like Americans, they are generally nice people. The immigration process isn't nice.

The TSA has been working for the last six months on developing a system that could differentiate passengers by security risk to cut down on needless checks, Pistole said. "One size does not fit all," Pistole said.
They are finally thinking of using profiling rather than treating every person (old ladies in wheelchairs and babies included!) as a potential terrorist? That isn't the 'future', they could do that now
If you have a procedure with 10 parameters, you probably missed some.
