I know it happens quite often and just never gets reported. Often times, it's simply for fear of reprisal by your bosses. But when you can get a bunch of people in on a class-action lawsuit, then it becomes much more viable and visible.

Or, how about in Empire when the Hoth Soldier is looking through his binoculars at the AT-AT and it's compressed side to side so the Walker looks excessively tall and thin? Example of when Pan & Scan wouldn't work and they knew it, but still needed the whole picture.

Here. Got this from some kid's school report online...

Quote
Vietnam is a country in the Eastern Hemisphere that was influenced by China for many years. Therefore, the Chinese New Year and Tet, the Vietnamese New Year have many similarities. Tet is the abbreviation of Tet Nguyen Dan which means the first morning of the first day of the new period. Tet marks the beginning of a new year on the lunar calendar, and the beginning of Spring. Vietnamese are constantly aware of the phases of the moon. All events are planned by the lunar calendar. The New Year begins on the first night of the first moon after the sun enters Aquarius. This is sometime between January 21 and February 19 on the solar calendar.

This one from Anchor Bay. May not be the best one, but at $5.50, who's complaining?

I dunno that "cool" is the appropriate word when Jay is talking about having been sick and stressed out. Unless you're just a sadistic mofo.

Jay, do you remember what the first post was or do you have it archived somewhere kinda like how restaurants frame their first dollar bill?

I remember that one of the cases against WM involves employees who were told to work without clocking in. They were putting in over 50 hours a week and only being paid for 30-35. Ridiculously illegal crap like that.

Why can't you just swap it? Nobody would know the difference, would they? It's just a little band on the top that says widescreen or full screen. If she didn't know enough to pick one versus the other, the odds are pretty slim that she would notice if you swapped it for a different one.

You most certainly DO NOT have to be a communist to hate Wal-Mart. People with a conscience hate Wal Mart, too. I'm not a big fan even though I like their bargain bin DVD sections simply because they do mistreat their employees. Hence why there are so many outstanding lawsuits against Wal Mart for employee mistreatment.

Plus they bully their suppliers into submission by offering them such immense distribution deals that would help get their name out, but they are then forced to drop their prices to whatever Wal Mart dictates. They get more exposure but lose money. It's a "damned if you do; damned if you don't" situation. For example, Vlassic pickles was about to go under recently. So they sought out Wal Mart to help them out. Wal Mart forced them to start packaging their pickles in big gallon jugs instead of the traditional smaller jars that Vlassic always sold them in. Wal Mart would then sell these jugs for $2.99 each. When all was said and done, Vlassic made only 3 cents per jar of pickles sold. Some deal, eh?

Wal Mart has killed the old style of doing business in the US. So many thousands of mom-and-pop and specialty stores have closed their doors because they just cannot compete with Wal Mart. I have several friends who either have closed their stores or are about to because of Wal Marts coming into their areas and just killing them.

Read any marketing book for examples of why Wal Mart is both genius and tyrant in the business world. Don't just assume that low prices are better.

Nah, just our opposition is coarse, rough, and irritating. They keep thinking that they live on when the Manglers have taken care of them. What Chaltab doesn't realize is that he really is the head on some random chihuahua and that it is a clone typing on his behalf. We used laser removal to take the ID spots off the eyelids. Tricky procedure, but we pulled it off. Don't want his friends and family asking too many questions, now do we?

You did hit the "clock". That was when you were injected with the ManglerProbe.

I will have to make note of this for future studies. I wonder if all subjects will wind up this delusional or if this is just one of those freak cases.

Black.

And I'm enjoying it so far, although all I've had time to play is Mario Kart: DD. I never have the time to play many games anymore. I gotta break out the SW game. That was my whole reason for getting the system.

If he keeps having these delusions, he's gonna send our EKGs into spasms. I'd better shut off the head for a while to normalize the instruments.

Hence why I said he is more prone to delusions of grandeur than most. Just look at that statement. He really thinks he's immune. Untouchable. Heh. Sad, sorry little man. But I guess if I had my head cut off by a ManglerBot and I was being kept alive via plasma and nothing else, I might have delusions in which it never happened to me either.

Perhaps I'll attach his head to the body of a chihuahua.
