Logic: Missing in Action

We recently got a television program system thingy (technical term) that allows the user to pause and review what is shown on the screen.
I have enjoyed using this to point out the ambient stupidity exhibited daily.
We all have our fun, I suppose.

I find the ability corporations have to put onto television whatever the hell they want to sell their product somewhat distressing. Sometimes I think it is this kind of thing that leads to the mental wanting of our society as a whole, or maybe it just points it out.

I have but one example in this case. Enjoy.



I apologize for the lack of adequate sound, but the basic plot line of this commercial is the honey bees have honey on their boat to make honey nut cheerios with. The wasps that look like pirates are going to steal the honey. The bees go into an elaborate mini-battle to rescue the honey. The end.

I may be missing something completely, but I really hope that you noticed the fact that they are sailing on a fucking OCEAN OF HONEY.
They are fighting over a couple barrels of honey.
The whole fucking ocean = honey.
I don't think I can voice the asininity of this whole concept.

Anyone else agree? I could be completely wrong here, but I'm fairly to moderately sure that kids should be exposed to things with a little more logic i.e. fire fighters extinguishing a fire with gasoline.

Ambient Stupidity

I would just like to open up with a disclaimer: I make as many stupid mistakes as anyone else, but I very much enjoy the stupidity of others.

I hope you do too.

Example 1:

As hard as you try, the trash guy will not take a part of a tree. Maybe where you used to live.

Not here.

Funny Sighting #2: The Lawn of Tarps!

Thing that made me smile #3:

RIGHT LANE ENDS

...there is no right lane...

Thingy #4

Too bad this one isn't funny....

I was reading a magazine today at my grandpa's house, and found the Time Magazine list of the top 100 influential people in the world.

I know it is done alphabetically, but still... look at this shit...

Yeah. Look closely. Among other things, Miley Cyrus is right next to the Dali Lama.

Does that concern anyone else?

Society sucks.

Proofreading: You're doing it wrong.

So I know everyone makes mistakes... most of us are human... but seriously
If you are a corporate executive or an advertising agent, pay attention here. This is important.

I was at work today and during a lull in the activity at the animal hospital, I read one of the posters we got from a drug company for flea and tick prevention.

There was a chart that explained all of the things that the drug kills, and how its competitors compare.

I took a video. Enjoy.





I'm not sure if you noticed, but after things like fleas, ticks, worms, etc., did you happen to see what was on the list?

FUCKING KITTENS!
I kid you not. Kittens.
Now I am not exactly opposed to this concept, but I am fairly to moderately sure that this is not a desired effect.

I enjoyed that.

And people wonder why...

I'm just gonna open this with: Today was kickass.

By the time everyone was leaving our little gathering, I had a couple people saying how I simply had to rant about the events of the evening.

Far be it from me to consciously disappoint.


The majority of the expected rants come from my exposure to the movie "Euro Trip."

Now don't get me wrong, if you are a horny freshman hanging out with a bunch of other stupid freshmen that have a combined IQ of October, this is most likely one hell of a motion picture.
Seeing as I think I can say without being conceited that I am not legally retarded, I look for a little more in a movie than random sex.

Included in that "little more" are the subtleties of great motion pictures... things like... oh I don't know... a plot? or maybe rational settings? etc.

Don't get me wrong, I like boobs as much as the next guy. Hell, I probably like boobs more than the next guy. But when most of the scenes are revolving around boobs, I'm missing out on the entertainment factor of the movie.

My favorite part about it all is the average retarded citizens commentary on... well life in general.
You'll find it applies nicely.

Lets to a hypothetical Q&A session to explain my point...

Kohne: What did you think about the movie Euro Trip?
Bonehead: Dude, it was fucking amazing, man!
Kohne: What were your favorite parts?
Bonehead: The boobs.
Kohne: No, knucklehead, your favorite part of the movie.
Bonehead: The parts with boobs.
Kohne: I see. Now do you think that this sends a bad message to teens?
Bonehead: Nahhh, its just a movie!
Kohne: Ok, so what are your thoughts in general?
Bonehead: [Horny Ranting]
Kohne: Thanks. I needed to hear that.

Now even though that may be hypothetical I think you can follow the logic.

Do I need to explain how that sort of stuff leads to the moral degeneration that people bitch about all the time?
Seriously.
I love those great movies from back in the day... A guy would have this epic quest over the course of movie hours to simply see a girl one last time, and now the movies main focus is the hero's movie-hour-long quest to get laid. A lot.

The problem with this topic is that when ranting about this topic you inherently sound like a fucking Quaker. Lord knows I love granola bars, but I don't enjoy being tied to their thoughts on social structure. Thats my next thought.

On the opposite end of the bonehead who watches the movie like a hawk, is the knucklehead who watches the movie like a hawk. A really pissed off hawk.

For once in the course of analogies, I'm not the pissed off one.
This time it is the one who has no toleration for other ways of thinking. At all.
Instead of ranting about it constructively, or at least attempting to be constructive, all you hear is "OH NO! THE PORNO!"
You may also find these are the types who won't let you forget about it.
Oh well. Shit happens.

Not a great rant, maybe I'll touch it up later.
