Yup…that’s how you do it. Post a question in the topic title that the vast majority of people will disagree with by the way it is phrased, and then post the exact opposite in the message.

See how many heart attacks you can start and end within 10 seconds by doing this. It’s good for people that don’t read the actual message in a topic too and basically can’t contain themselves long enough. They just start posting a message without even knowing what the topic is even about. The title is all they need for a long diatribe about how they are awesome and their opinion is fact. Then they get handed a flame shield, or some outdoor umbrellas to stop the storm from coming.

It has become quite rare for me to be excited about any sort of broadcast (ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox) drama these days. We have come to the point that any sort of serialized show is not fit for broadcast television simply because they can’t get the ratings. Something that cable channels such as AMC, HBO, and Showtime don’t have to worry as much about due to their payoffs coming from subscriptions. Since that is the case almost every relevant drama in the past several years has come from a cable channel with few exceptions.

Broadcast dramas tend to be mass appeal shows, and with that the networks assume that all of us are idiots so the shows should cater to that. While there have been several that started out promising, as ratings became a factor meddling has ruined them and made them into cheesy junk drama with no reason to watch. Other than Lost and Fringe I can’t think of many in the last decade on broadcast TV I truly felt were worth watching due to weak writing, acting, and basically falling into the trap of missing the mark completely on what makes some of these shows great. Most of all it all comes down to the fact that they think we are too stupid as a whole to watch a well-written and character driven drama. They are probably right since the highest rated drama on AMC happens to be The Walking Dead, which while entertaining in the Mystery Science Theater 3000 sort of way most of the episodes, it appeals to a wider audience due to it not being so “high brow” I guess you would say. Watching idiots in an apocalypse always has its laugh factor, although many of the characters make you wish you had the chili burn runs rather than listen to them.

“Awake” began Thursday in a rough timeslot on NBC. The 10 PM ET slot with no strong lead in. I watched it nearly 2 weks ago on the NBC website due to the pilot having an online release early to try and stir up word of mouth and get people interested. (Can still be viewed here if you missed it: http://www.nbc.com/awake/)I found it to be a very strong pilot, and one of the better ones I have seen on broadcast since maybe Lost.

It is about a guy who is living two lives. Not figuratively either. He is living one life where his wife has died, and another where his son has died. Neither of which do we know if they are real, or a dream.

What I found interesting about it, however is that when it was over I actually wanted to discuss it, and I wasn’t completely turned off by poor writing, or acting. This, I am sad to say is quite rare for a broadcast drama. I found myself speculating the mystery of it all, which is a fun thing to do of course. It’s definitely worth checking out and getting in at the start. Now we wait and see if they do what broadcast loves to do and try to make it only about the secrets and forgo any real development of the cast.

Ratings were mediocre. a 1.9 in the target demographic, but since many of us already watched the pilot online it is difficult to say what the impact there was. The next episode is Thursday March 8 at 10 PM ET, so we should know much more by then if this show has a chance. On NBC they have nothing to replace it with so I can’t imagine it will get canned too quickly.

Free hugs are nice right? VEry happy video for all that watch no?

Now what if some people decided to hug a camera instead of going out in public and hugging people for real?

They did, and it is creepy as hell to watch. Don’t get scared when the guy walks up to the camera. The nicest place on the internet? No way. Hope none of these guys are doctors. They are going to need to up their Doctors Malpractice Insurance for the scares.

So I figured I’d give a shout out to QuickMeme for once so you could help build the massive collection of captioned photos online and maybe create the next stupid meme. My personal favorites has always been “First World Problems“. You know people that have basically nothing to complain about getting upset about minuscule life dealings in between ordering pool fencing for their backyard pools.

Our friend over at DontEvenReply.com took the ida of trolling Cragslist to new levels. Well, not really new levels, but he actually decided to document it rather than just tell people he did it.

What you will find there is someone that contacts sellers, or buyers on Craigslist, or some other online ad place and decides to be a jerk about it all. Someone may be looking to add children’s DVDs to a community center and end up getting n e-mail from him that lists a few children’s DVDs, but sprinkled in them will be variations of the titles that end up being porno DVDs instead. The may find someone looking for buick enclave custom floor mats and tell them that they can have his, but they will be for something like a 1985 Bronco.

I’d sya to start with the best ones first. The Top Rated ones where there are about 20 to start with. They aren’t extremely long as you can imagine since most people start to get upset after the first one. Then they start to call him obscene names and eventually quit. Of course the title of the site “Don’t Even Reply” is good advice for such silliness. My personal favorite is the one where the guy orders some rocks and ends up with 2 tons of them on his front lawn when he asked for a wheelbarrow full. All this happens while he is at work so he has no idea that it is a big joke.

Also, with the ability to copy/screenshot almost anything you do, it is possible to save it for all future generations so they may see your embarrassment. Someone has dedicated their time to collecting such pleasantries thankfully, and we are all able to enjoy them here. Are they all real? I’d imagine no, other than maybe the earliest ones, but hilarious none the less. The next time you want to tell someone about an rv insurance quote don’t be surprised if it changes it to HIV”.

Today is a big day. Osama Bin Laden has been killed by the U.S.A.

These are the two most active videos I could find so far:

While I’m at it I may as well try and see if I can think of some fathers day gifts for dad. Just a little link there for Father’s Day Gifts For Dad that I want to check out a little later and see if I can get my dad a cheap Father’s Day gift.

Apparently, this man’s daughter was raped by a few men, and she contracted HIV from one of them. The father decided that he was going to get revenge, and REVENGE is what he got.

Here is a brief breakdown of what he did:

A former rugby player has been arrested for murder and attempted murder after he allegedly went on a revenge rampage after his daughter was raped and infected with HIV.

The 34-year-old, whose identity remains unknown for legal reasons, allegedly butchered three men with an axe, and nearly killed a fourth.

One of the victims was left decapitated, and it is believed his head was found around 1.6km away from his body, Afrikaans daily Beeld reported.

One of the bodies had almost been completely decapitated, with the head “hanging by nothing more than a nerve”. full article

Do you consider this Great Justice, or horrible, horrible crimes? Maybe both?
