This is the first I've ever heard of people drinking coffee for the flavor. And here all this time I thought is was some bitter near poisonous motor oil looking substance that I used because it isn't legal to snort coke first thing in the morning.

Of all the problems with this study. . . of all the guys that will worry about their fertility and still have millions of "just fine" sperm. . . of the population argument and the billions of people on earth. . .

All I can think about is that this study started with some guy rubbing one out in the name of science.

I'm not exactly sure which country you are from, but here in the U.S. a billboard is never a "sign. . . [that] doesn't do anything."

There are billboards that recognize your car and greet you personally:

There are billboards that aggregate the fm radio stations being listen to in passing cars the show the advert most likely to target the largest percentage of passing drivers:

Interactive advertising inundates our modern lives. You're individual concerns aren't worth as much as the advertising dollars spent on you. No one cares that you feel like your privacy is being trampled, you're a target demographic and consumer. That makes your interests important only if your spending money. Opting out only makes advertisers not care what your opinion is because you are a "fringe demographic".

On a personal note, I still hate interactive movie posters. Ever since I walked past a poster for Step-Brothers and Will Ferrel scarred the piss outta me by suddenly coming to life and badgering me to come see the movie.

FTFA: "In total there were 20 Hexagons put into orbit over the years. The one on display this weekend â" which was not among them â" has had portholes cut into the sides so that the internal camera machinery will be visible, according to Rick Oborn, an NRO spokesman."

Uh, that's a pal and CONFIDANT. As in, someone you confide in, not someone you wanna launch into space.

My trash truck has the same arm and I can assure you those two people managed a job at the plastic can factory. That robot arm crushes and then shakes the holy hell outta my trash can twice a week. The hinges on the lid are always the first to go.

Cute. But in all seriousness, you get what you pay for. If you negotiate the price of the product into the dirt, expect to get a shoddy product.

How is this insightful? Have you ever considered not going to a discount store and buying the absolute cheapest brand they sell? I actually winced when I read "12-pack of socks." Really? Wow. I think the problem here is that YOU are just cheap.

I just pray Palin and Bachmann are both in the Republican Primary. That should make for some OUTSTANDING Saturday Night Live skits.

So how's the Kool-Aid?
