I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been to a fast food restaurant, and saw some (40 year old) fat dude, with glasses and long hair, reading a manga comic book. It is not cool to sit alone and pretend that you know what the japanese text says; we all know you’re just looking at the pictures of anime chicks with huge tits. Also, sitting alone reading a comic book, let alone a manga comic, will not help you pick up girls. But then again if you’re doing something like that, maybe meeting girls isn’t your thing. Maybe you just like to fantasize about doing a three way with Sailor Moon and Sailor Venus. I guess you’re not alone, because the Japanese Prime Minister gets a huge hard-on from anime. He wants to spend $150 million bones to build a museum that showcases Japan’s greatest collection of anime.

“In Japan, children and adults alike can be seen reading Manga comics in cafes and on trains.
Mr Aso’s decision to construct the so-called Manga museum has drawn mockery from the opposition.
In Parliament, opposition leader Yukio Hatoyama said he knew Mr Aso was a big fan of Manga, but he questioned why the state should be spending $150 million to build the museum.
“Isn’t this just a colossal waste of money?” he said.
“This isn’t just some spur of the moment idea that I dreamed up,” Mr Aso said.
“It was planned by the previous administration and I am implementing it.”"
Anime is the most annoying thing to watch. Everything moves way too fast, and the english dubs are just terrible. Have you ever sat through an entire episode of Dragonball Z? They literally stand there and yell at each other for about 10 episodes, saying that when they’re done powering up, they’re going to give the other dude a serious beat down. But then something always comes up, like a new character comes from the future to prevent things from happening in the past. And then they go through 10 more episodes to give the back story of the character from the future, then that person powers up for 10 more episodes. That’s 30 episodes of powering up. Not a good way to spend your weekday afternoons…or weekends if you’re a nerd.

Bernie Madoff, chairman of Nasdaq, was sentenced today to 150 years in prison, the maximum pentaly he could receive. If you don’t know who Bernie Madoff is, he was that asshole that conned thousands of investors out of 65 billion dollars by using a Ponzi Scheme. In the courtroom, he turned to his prosecutors and said the following statement,
“”I live in a tormented state for all the pain and suffering I created,” he said. “I left a legacy of shame. It is something I will live with for the rest of my life.”
Turning to face some of his victims, Madoff addressed them directly: “Saying I’m sorry is not enough. I turn to face you. I know it will not help. I’m sorry.”
Madoff said he was not asking for forgiveness and not offering any excuses for his behavior.
“How can you excuse betraying thousands of investors?” he asked. “How can you excuse deceiving hundreds of employees? How can you excuse lying to and deceiving your wife who still stands by you?”"
You probably read through this entire post and asked yourself, what the fuck is a Ponzi Scheme? Since I’m too lazy to paraphrase, I’ll just copy and paste from wikipedia…”A Ponzi scheme is a fraudulent investment operation that pays returns to investors from their own money or money paid by subsequent investors rather than from any actual profit earned.”
Madoff is either a genius, or a huge douche. In my opinion, he’s both…maybe 60/40, 60 being a douche, 40 being a genius.
"One Small Step for Man, One Gia--Wait, What's My Line Again?"
I for one, never believed the moon landing was a hoax, but then again I’m a pretty gullible person. The moon landing was a great feat for the American people. It provided inspiration for a generation and gave way to a new idea; the idea that we can accomplish the impossible. Plus, we totally made the Russians jealous, which was awesome. Now, Nasa has discovered tapes that show the moon landing in higher definition, so skeptics can stop whining.

“The television images the world has been used to seeing of the historic moment when Neil Armstrong descended down a ladder onto the moon’s surface in 1969 is grainy, blurry and dark.
The following scenes, in which the astronauts move around the lunar lander, are so murky it is difficult to make out exactly what is going on, causing conspiracy theorists to claim the entire Apollo 11 mission was an elaborate fraud.
However, viewers have only ever seen such poor quality footage because the original analogue tapes containing the pictures beamed direct from the lunar surface were lost almost as soon as they were recorded.
Instead, a poor quality copy made from a 16mm camera pointing at a heavily compressed image on a black and white TV screen has been the only record of the event.
The Sunday Express can now reveal that the missing tapes containing the original high quality images have been found.
If the visual data can be retrieved, Nasa is set to reveal them to the world as a key plank of celebrations to mark the 40thanniversary of the landings next month.”
I’m not going to lie, I probably won’t care enough to go see the footage. I will however, buy a ticket for one of those moon trips. When you moon someone on the moon, would you technically be earthing them, or is it still considered mooning? Or maybe you’re sunning them. I think when you sun someone, you show them your genitalia. I wouldn’t mind if a real hot chick sunned me. Someone needs to document these rules.
911 is reserved for life and death situations. I’m pretty sure losing 8 dollars isn’t life threatening, unless you had a deal worked out with the mob and you were 8 dollars short of repayment. Jeremy Lloyd Martin paid $10 at a McDonald’s drive thru, and only got a burger and fries. Instead of calling 911, I don’t see why he couldn’t just circle around, and go through the drive thru again. I can see why he got pissed, because technically, $10 could get you 9 things off the dollar menu, and all he got was a burger and fries. But calling 911 and threatening to sue is fucking crazy.

“According to a tape of the 911 calls released by Clackamas County 911, a man initially told a dispatcher that he was at the McDonald’s near the intersection of Southeast Sunnyside Road and Southeast 82nd Avenue and needed help. The man said he had paid $10 in the drive-thru but only received a single burger and a fry before he was told to pull around.
“Sir, this is not a police matter,” the dispatcher told him. “You need to take it up with the manager of the McDonald’s.”
But a person who identified himself as Martin called back demanding that dispatchers send a police officer to the scene and threatening to sue.
“This is a 911 emergency,” the person said. “I got robbed for eight dollars.”
“Sir, 911 is life-and-death only,” the dispatcher said. “If you do continue calling 911 you will be arrested for misuse.”
“Well, arrest me at (expletive) 82nd and Sunnyside Road,” the caller responded. “Please send a cop right now. I swear to God all my life…”
Eventually an officer arrived after a person who identified himself as Martin had called 911 again.”
I would maybe sue McDonald’s if I slipped on the floor and they failed to put up a “wet floor” sign. Even then, I’d probably just ask for a free order of chicken nuggets. I love chicken nuggets.
"I'm Real Sorry About that Aids Thing"
Is Aids the one where someone fucked a monkey, or is that something else? I think it was aids. Actually, I don’t really think the dude fucked a monkey, I’m pretty sure it was some other hilarious scenario…like the monkey bit him. Maybe he bit him in the heat of passion. I’m not entirely too sure. Anyway, there seems to be a cure for HIV/Aids, and a bunch of research scientists are pissed because it was discovered by some clinician. The slackers of the medical field.
[via]
“”So why has the news of the first case of HIV/AIDS cure received so little attention where the public is concerned?
“I can’t be sure as to why so little publicity,” Gupta said recently.
“My guess is that most scientific researchers are somewhat stunned that a clinician — not a research scientist — has been able to come up with the cure. Most of the big research money and big name American institutions are somewhat embarrassed to acknowledge that the very first case of HIV cure is not coming from their institutions.”
The cure, instead, is coming from Charity University Hospital in Berlin, Germany, and the doctor is Gero Huetter, who works in the Department of Hematology, Oncology and Transfusion Medicine at the same hospital.”
Turns out the cure is some sort of genetic mutation called CCR-5 DELTA-32. I’m serious, dude, scientists really suck at coming up with names. Bad news for Asians, Blacks, Hispanics, and Middle Easterners, the genetic mutation is found mostly in white European populations. So I suggest you exercise extreme caution when you participate in activites that present a legitimate opportunity to contract HIV/Aids.
