i leave ireland for 5 days and they pull all the bacon off the shelves. wtf?
so, last wednesday we left for a lovely little trip to rome, which i’ll surely blog about at some point in the near future when i have less pressing issues on my mind, but let’s get to the important stuff. while we were gone i saw a story on one of the two english [...]
wtf was that? a masturbating bunny?
…and yet another advertising moment gone horribly wrong. while a slightly different edited version seems to air here in ireland, on all the shitty u.k. channels which dominate the cable line-up, i thought i had noticed one before that the bunny in the video below has a little masturbatory session. you watch for [...]
i’m sorry i don’t have a square to spare, but you can use this rabbit…
i previously wrote about the challenge of discerning which brands are decent when moving to a new country, and i have to broach this subject once again. i’ve noticed a trend here in ireland and in the u.k. which i find somewhat disturbing yet culturally intriguing as well. and what exactly is [...]
get out and VOTE. for obama. :)
as an undergrad at indiana university, i double majored in telecommunications and, somewhat unusually to most people as a white dude, african american studies. i left that program with what i’d think was a probably higher awareness of what race relations in the US were truly like, getting a fat dose of actual american [...]
way to save the world, ktvu.
tonight on the 10pm news, ktvu ran a story about hybrid cars and whether or not the added cost was really such a great deal for drivers or if it was a bunch of “hybrid hype”. the report included statistics which calculated that recouping the additional cost of buying a prius, for example, would [...]

i don’t know man, seems like a pretty reasonable request to me. i’m a man, over 30, plenty of experience urinating into a confined space (like coffee cups and desk drawers).
all joking aside, this is apparently too small of a target given the gigantically huge puddles of urine which i commonly find on [...]
nine years of my life
today, march 21, marks nine years of my life being spent as an employee of the same parent company, which shall remain nameless. those of you who know me know what i’m talking about, and the rest of you can just be left guessing. hint — it is not a porn company.
despite [...]
“study says many studies suck”
i had to share this article which i found on sfgate.com. it’s not so much that i think it’s a well-written piece of journalism. actually, i kinda wanted to comment on it because i think it includes a sentence that is longer than any run-on i’ve ever been criticized for writing:
Sure, couples who can [...]
why is frito lay trying to kill me?
so tonight i accompany the wife to the corner store to pick up some milk, sparkling water, and some snacks. the “new” sun chips cinnamon flavored multigrain snacks catch my eye. ooh, a little heart icon, and a statistic noting 18 grams of whole grains per serving! and the kickass “smart choices [...]
