Comment Re:Eats, Shoots, and Leaves (Score 5, Funny) 1343

Another example of a grammarian joke:

An office manager has had a bad financial year, and has to make a decision to let someone go. The newest workers are Sandra and Jack. Both have performed very well, and the manager likes them both equally. He decides, on a whim, to fire the first person that visits the water cooler on Monday morning.

Monday comes around, and the boss watches from his office. Sandra is the first to go up to the cooler. The manager goes over to her.

"Sandra", he says, "I have a tough decision to make. I have to either lay you or Jack off."

Sandra sighs as she's pouring her water. "Could you jack off?" she replies. "I feel like shit this morning."

Comment Where does this impulse to sue come from? (Score 1) 227

Perhaps I'm being naive, but why would anyone sue a company for not hiring them? Company A interviews 20 people for position B, happens to look at prospect C's Facebook profile in the process, doesn't like what they see and go for candidate D. They tell everyone but D "Sorry, we found someone else". That's just how it goes. What basis does C have to sue them?

It wasn't edited...

Got to bring you up on that. The process whereby the raw footage of a movie is creatively assembled into a cohesive storyline is, in fact, "editing". So yes, it has been edited. Whether it's the "final cut" is another matter. A picky point, maybe, but a surprising number of people don't understand what "film editing" actually means (and it doesn't help when a movie DVD proclaims "unedited version!" on the back cover, which actually implies that what you have there is 50 hours of dailies).
