And I pass the credit on to MikeSC, who directed me to the Web site that had this pic. Oh, yeah. Fuck Big Media...

TYLER: Nice Avatar, Mr. Bandwagon jumper. When you support someone via Avatar they're bound to lose *coughNoonrecallyesonBustawhateverhisnameiscough*. Oh, and when I did my community service for Habitat for Humanity and the only people there were stupid college chicks patting each other on the back saying how wonderful they are for doing this. Four of them couldn't get a plank of wood out of the storage unit. I was the only one that did any work...

Or show lame, generic "file" footage...

You'll care when your taxes go up... You would think saying Surge and Pac Man would have made it clear I was mocking the fact people aren't paying attention to this despite it being a big deal. When I said "you" I meant it to mean all these people that do play Pac-Man and drink Surge. I could have done a better job wording this. You, of course, are an informed voter, since you post at TSM's Current Events...

*bends over* Go for it...

Never had anything bad or good to say about the guy. That's as far as I go with this...

I like him. Then again I have never noticed this poster until now...

You'll care when your taxes go up...

You know what would be funny? If people trademarked every word from the English vocabulary we'd have to come up with a new language (no way I'm re-learning Francais again)...

You know what I don't get about Dillon -- he was on all those shitty Bengal teams and now that they're getting decent he started whining...

I've had quite a few self-started threads get no-sold. You just step back into the batter's box and take another swing. Why if people stopped posting after their thread gets ignored, Rant would have been long-gone from the TSM community...

You have a degree? I'm a print man myself -- I loathe 99% of broadcast journalism, except for one network America trusts for FAU ... err ... fair and balanced news, and the only reason I watch channel 34 on my cable service provider is for opinion-oriented shows...

I got dibs on slapping Dids...

I voted for the $80 billion to fund our troops before I voted against it. OMG I turned this thread into a pro-Bush rally...

I believe, MONTHS ago, I commented that reporters are amongst the laziest people on Earth. Why do all of you doubt me? People get away with making up stories because "journalists" are too lazy to investigate. -=Mike Here's a funny journalist story (or at least I think it's somewhat amusing): Years ago when I was living at Sappy Valley I applied to this one newspaper in (Lewistown?) and never heard anything back. MONTHS later, when I started working my two jobs I got a call from their editor regarding an opening for a police/fire/crime reporter. I told him that I found work and that my one employer had me sign a contract saying that I had to stay with them for one year. If I broke that contract I'd have to give back two month's pay. This editor then said "So how much time do you have to give them before you can leave?" I explained to him that I couldn't (I didn't really want this guy's job anyway -- he sounded like a clueless asshole) and he repeated the same question to me again. After I hung up the phone I thought to myself this is a man that writes down quotes for a living. Oh, and the first "real job" interview I ever had was also when I was at Sappy Valley. It was an interview for a copy editor position at the Altoona Mirror. I bombed the test and I could tell the managing editor hated me because I showed him all these errors I found in the most recent Sunday edition (sad thing is a few of these errors were in templates that get published every day). Well anyway when I finally got my rejection letter from the News Editor he misspelled "periodically." I still have that letter framed. To think I wasn't even worth a spell-check...

Heck, women tend to be a healthy majority on most college campuses (or is it campii?) -=Mike ...Of course, the GUYS don't tend to mind But, Mike, the problem is that although women DO dominate college campuses, they're being held down in the REAL majors like computer science and engineering. Oh, and I'm a left-handed writer, too (although I do everything else with my right hand)...

Since you're whining about how nobody's responding to your precious topic, I'll give you my insta-opinion. Well golly-gee there, Sarge, politicians using actors and such as "news reporters" in video news releases. Next thing you know you'll tell me John Kerry served... *points microphone out to the crowd so they can finish the saying.* YPOV, this practice has been going on for some time now -- the fact that you've just heard about it doesn't necessarily make it "breaking news." Twenty years ago I learned that all those letters telling me "I may have already won $1,000,000,000,000 from Publisher's Clearinghouse" may not have been completely truthful. I didn't go on a message board afterward and tell everyone about my newfound discovery. Then again, 20 years ago there weren't any Internet message boards -- you kids today and your fancy-smacny technology. I also find it funny how the same television news studios that hire actresses to read off a teleprompter get offended when the government does practically the same thing to them. And the reason I wasn’t going to originally respond to this article is that every time I hear about Bush’s new Medicare changes I have to hold back from throwing up. I hope your self-esteem is better now that I’ve taken the time to respond...

Like you didn't know that by now...

In defense of this, perhaps their headseat poo-poo'd on the drive thru person, or maybe a customer in front of their window is talking to them. I'm a reasonable person. What I'm not so reasonable about is when you order Super Size (RIP) fries and you get a little amount of them. Or, worse yet, you order a double quarter-pounder with cheese and, despite it being in a double quarter-pounder box there's only one beef patty between the bun...

I'm smelling a Judge Judy episode here...

Oh, this will be a hoot to watch...

It's all just to prove a point, like that AA bake sale a while back that charged white buyers more than women/minority buyers. Personally, I find this funny as hell and hope more places hold such events. kkk -- who's proud of his white heritage of pick-up trucks, confederate flags and the first day of huntin' and fishin'...

USA Today is considered the "fast-food" of newspapers. In many ways, this paper has revolutionized the way its industry now works. For example, the color, and use of charts and graphs really wasn't utilized by newspapers until USA Today came along in the early 1980s(?) What baffles me about these reporters is that they think they can get away with stuff like this. I mean, it's not like they're writing for some backwoods community paper. Their material is read around the world...

Silly. Black people don't ski...

I had no idea what it was for the longest time either, so don't feel bad Ravenbomb, and I'm less of a noob than you...
