You won’t believe why MSNBC cut away from this interview

The Daily Kos has the article You won’t believe why MSNBC cut away from this interview. I could add the subtitle, “Why you won’t catch me watching MSNBC”


I used to just mute commercials on TV. Now some of the visuals are so offensive, I just have to change channels. If I miss the next muted commercial or the whole rest of the show, so be it. I wonder how many companies will wise up and insist that their commercials do not run after certain other commercials.


Boob Deodorant? The Latest Absurdity From the Beauty Industry

Alternet has the article Boob Deodorant? The Latest Absurdity From the Beauty Industry.

…you need to start deodorizing under your boobs.

I can already hear your objections: “But the area under my boobs doesn’t stink!” or “What kind of marketing genius not only came up with the term ‘swoob,’ but actually thought half the world’s population might be dumb enough to buy into it?” or simply, “This is a dumb product aimed at inventing an insecurity and then claiming to cure it.”

Based on my scientific sampling of one, I can say that any woman that would fall for this product really does not understand men.  You don’t have to put perfume on boobs to get men interested.

Here is a test, how many heterosexual men would care if the model pictured wore perfume?

Picture used in scientific test of men's reaction.


Priceless! Jon Stewart Ridicules the Richest of the Rich for Pretending to be Concerned About Economic Inequality

Alternet has the article Priceless! Jon Stewart Ridicules the Richest of the Rich for Pretending to be Concerned About Economic Inequality.

Last night on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart skewered the hypocrisy of a bunch of white rich men getting together to worry about economic inequality — as they enjoyed the luxury of the salons of the Swiss Alps.


Well, if you’re going to put it that way, I suppose there is a little irony if not hypocrisy in the goings on at Davos. Do we really expect the wealthy to go to a McDonalds in Hoboken to discuss this topic?


Princeton University to Close By 2021

c|net has the article Facebook pokes holes in Princeton research with parody. The article had a link to the Facebook article  in question, Debunking Princeton.

This trend suggests that Princeton will have only half its current enrollment by 2018, and by 2021 it will have no students at all, agreeing with the previous graph of scholarly scholarliness. Based on our robust scientific analysis, future generations will only be able to imagine this now-rubble institution that once walked this earth.

Facebook even gives you a chance to peer review the article.  For similar scholarly studies see the previous blog post by RichardH Diversion–Highway Fatalities and Lemons.

One of the comments on the Facebook article shows that the rate of murder declines with declining use of Internet Explorer.
