The only group here showing contempt for the family and the public is the Parents Television Council.

Never has a post and accompanying signature fit so well together. It's like chocolate and peanut butter!
Well, it must be just the Telus employees, because my fiance and I love those commercials. Especially the fiance. They're really cute.
Whatever they use, it sure as hell gets them High!
"...a few other interesting details such as 'a gruesome account of a 17th century blood transfusion."

Meanwhile companies like WizKids and Games Workshop continue to show their complete disdain for their customers and the fans of their products as well as their utter inability to properly market their games.
Wow. This part of the Terms of Service for Games Workshop is pretty disturbing:

"18 Foot Multitouch Wall and New Multitouch Tech Hit the Streets"! I hope no one was crushed underneath!
How did this get rated insightful? Funny? Sure. But if this was meant to be taken seriously, then, well, damn, someone needs to consult his encyclopedia.
They're starting to sound like PETA
Wonder what the record is for the fastest cockroach?
What do you mean? An African or European cockroach?

Reminds me of a quote. I may be paraphrasing though.

Well, I've had to use liveCD a couple of times to save data off of a Windows install before reformatting. Does that count?
