It has always seemed at the very least an interesting coincidence.


Watch "An Evening with Kevin Smith", and go to the part where he talks about working with Jon Peters on a new "Superman" a few years back. I think that'll answer your questions.

I did say I can cook a mean pizza right? Also, I use to clean the glass at the nudie booths so I can be good for after the party as well.


You were a jizzmopper?!

I'm coming to the end of the huge stockpile of DVDs I bought, I've already caught up with Scrubs (all the way from the first ep of season one to the last of season 5 with the help of isohunt), Remington Steele, Adventures of Superman, and Lois and Clark.

Anyone have any suggestions, besides those already made, of any overlooked gems? Preferably hour longs and not 1/2 hour sitcoms(though if its good, I wouldn't mind that either).


Have you ever seen "The Honeymooners" TV show? All of those are available on DVD, and that's probably my all-time favorite TV show.

Democratic YES:140 NO:58 DID NOT VOTE: 3
Independent YES: 1

Thank you republicans, for making the world a little bit worse, one action at a time.


Ironic, since its normally the democrats doing that.


Both parties do. The democrats at least sometimes try not to.


The Republicans want to control our internet. The Democrats want to regulate our music and video games. Either way, we lose.

Video and Article: Rep Won't Let Customer Cancel AOL Account
Time
Rep Won't Let Customer Quit AOL

On Tape: Rep Won't Let Customer Quit AOL

An incredible video from CNBC shows an AOL customer trying to cancel his account, but a phone rep won't let him do it. What customer Vincent Ferrari got when he tried to cancel his account was a lot of frustration.

It took him 15 minutes waiting on the phone just to reach a real, live person.

And, what happened next was recorded by Ferrari on audio and lasted about four minutes:


CLOCK READOUT - 00:00

AOL REPRESENTATIVE: Hi this is John at AOL... how may I help you today?

VINCENT FERRARI: I wanted to cancel my account.

AOL: Sorry to hear that. Let's pull your account up here real quick. Can I have your name please?

VINCENT: Vincent Ferrari.

CLOCK READOUT - 00:30

AOL: You've had this account for a long time.

VINCENT: Yup.

AOL: Use this quite a bit. What was the cause of wanting to turn this off today?

VINCENT: I just don't use it anymore.

AOL: Do you have a high speed connection, like the DSL or cable?

VINCENT: Yup.

AOL: How long have you had that...

VINCENT: Years...

AOL: ...the high speed?

VINCENT: ...years.

AOL: Well, actually I'm showing a lot of usage on this account.

VINCENT: Yeah, a long time, a long time ago, not recently...

CLOCK READOUT - 01:47

AOL: Okay, I mean is there a problem with the software itself?

VINCENT: No. I just don't use it, I don't need it, I don't want it. I just don't need it anymore.

AOL: Okay. So when you use this... I mean, use the computer, I'm saying, is that for business or for... for school?

VINCENT: Dude, what difference does it make. I don't want the AOL account anymore. Can we please cancel it?

CLOCK READOUT - 02:21

AOL: Last year was 545, last month was 545 hours of usage...

VINCENT: I don't know how to make this any clearer, so I'm just gonna say it one last time. Cancel the account.

AOL: Well explain to me what's, why...

VINCENT: I'm not explaining anything to you. Cancel the account.

AOL: Well, what's the matter man? We're just, I'm just trying to help here.

VINCENT: You're not helping me. You're helping me...

AOL: I am trying to help.

VINCENT: Helping... listen, I called to cancel the account. Helping me would be canceling the account. Please help me and cancel the account.

AOL: No, it wouldn't actually...

VINCENT: Cancel my account...

AOL: Turning off your account...

VINCENT: ...cancel the account...

AOL: ...would be the worst thing that...

VINCENT: ...cancel the account.

CLOCK READOUT - 03:02

AOL: Okay, cause I'm just trying to figure out...

VINCENT: Cancel the account. I don't know how to make this any clearer for you. Cancel the account. When I say cancel the account, I don't mean help me figure out how to keep it, I mean cancel the account.

AOL: Well, I'm sorry, I don't know what anybody's done to you Vincent because all I'm...

VINCENT: Will you please cancel the account.

CLOCK READOUT - 03:32

AOL: Alright, some day when you calmed down you're gonna realize that all I was trying to do was help you... and it was actually in your best interest to listen to me.

VINCENT: Wonderful, Okay.

CLOCK READOUT - 03:39

"I've never ever experienced anything like that," Ferrari told CNBC.

He recounts how the AOL representative - as a last resort even asked if his dad was home.

"I think I could've put up with everything, but at the point when he asked to speak to my father, I came very close to losing it at that point," said the 30-year-old Ferrari.

Ferrari then posted the call online, and the response was tremendous.

AOL sent him an apology and said the customer service rep was no longer with the company.

Creepy Crap

A quote from Maddox, from The Best Page In The Universe:

there are countless hours pissed away by conspiracy theorists who think the WTC towers were demolished by bombs planted by the government. These armchair engineers write endlessly about how the physics of the collapse was impossible, how the temperature wasn't hot enough to melt steel, and how the planes were carrying missiles. Of course, the one thing they don't postulate is a REASON.

My personal favorite warblog was one that had a flash animation with people who were quoted as saying "it didn't sound like a plane to me... it sounded like a missile." Thank you Joe Nobody for giving me your expert opinion on what missile sounds like, because gas station superintendents are usually the best people to ask about the sonic signature of ballistic missile thrust.

Superman Movie

Jor-El (voiceover): I worry that my son might not understand what I've tried to be. And if I were to be killed, Lara, I would want someone to go to my home and tell my son everything. Everything I did, everything you saw, because there's nothing that I detest more than the stench of lies. And if you understand me Lara, you will do this for me.

I watched a snail crawl along the edge of a straight razor. That's my dream. That's my nightmare. Crawling, slithering, along the edge of a straight... razor... and surviving. Oh and Kryptonite... that stuff sting like a mutha.



Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!

You forgot the part where he says: "I'm a superstitious man, and if some unlucky accident should befall Kal-El - if he is to be shot in the head by a police officer, or be found hung dead in a jail cell... or if he should be struck by a bolt of lightning - then I'm going to blame some of the people on your planet; and then I do not forgive. But with said, I pledge - on the souls of my grandchildren - that I will not be the one to break the peace that we have made today. "

Why would I look to Europe for lessons in diversity? Europe is FAR behind the US in racial relations. If someone threw banana’s at a black athlete in America and called them a monkey they would be kicked out of the game by stadium authorities and then have their ASS beaten by any number of people.

Meanwhile FIFA fans are allowed to mock Ibrahim Salou with total impunity. What a crock of shit.
I must step in here. While I can't speak for the rest of Europe, I can speak for England, and I have to ask you to not tar us with that brush. I have been all over America and with the exceptions of the major cities (especially NY and LA) nowhere compares to my home, London, for racial equalilty and acceptance. London is well known as being one of, if not THE, most ethnically diverse places in teh World. We have the largest Mosque outside of the Eastern World. I had a Mosque at the end of my street. My best friend growing up was black and I didn't even notice. My own Grandmother is an immigrant from Italy. I am just as angered by monkey comments like the ones you mention as you are, but let me tell you, the American Midwest (where I am currently staying) is FAR less tolerant of different races than England. I can't tell you how many time I've heard the 'N' word since I've been here. It's actually quite shocking. Even I am treated strangely, and I'm White (but not a good ol' USA boy and therefore 'different'). And on top of that, the status of the female in these parts is about 50 years behind what I am used to. And you can forget about being gay here too.

Look, we all know Chrisdo is a dick, but can we please stop all this German bashing and generalising about Europeans? I don't even really consider England to be part of Europe, but I'm getting a bit offended here.


Sorry about that, YIYF. I'm not sure about Darth-Adroit, but I wasn't really serious with my German bashing. I was just sort of exaggerating chrisdo's rationale to make a point and to maybe get him the hint of just how stupid he was sounding. Sorry for any offense; I've got nothin' against Europe (for the most part, anyway )
