Produce Paradise Punks Pwned!

Posted on Thursday, August 30, 2007 in Breaking News, Depressing, The Internets

Produce Paradise
seemed like a funny, good idea at the time.

These kinds of things usually are pretty damned funny when you are doing them. In fact, especially if you are the one doing them! In days of yore, the video would have been recorded and shelved and friends would have looked back in later years and laughed about how idiotic they were at that age.

But this is the age of instant digital media! The Fresh Beets miscalculated wildly and are now facing a $1 million lawsuit.

I understand that they want to protect their brand and their image, but come on. $1 million dollars? Is that really going to show those punks who’s boss? What is the point of bankrupting these idiots?

All it will do is make the next group of fools who do something like this try to do it more legit - like by purchasing their veggies before filming. That way they will be able to argue it is their own property with which they are, ahem, performing.

Instead of suing them, A&P should be thanking them for the free international advertising.

Sorry about posting an ebaum vid. I couldn’t find it anywhere else.

Anybody know if this is an actual video or some staged thing?

This helium-filled, flying, silver Manta Ray thing is one of the coolest things I’ve ever seen.  Buy me one please.

Superferry rejected!

Posted on Tuesday, August 28, 2007 in Asides

All I’m saying is…if I am going to start a shuttle service between islands I would do two things: check with locals to make sure you don’t piss them off, and I would avoid a name like: Superferry. A name like that just opens up a lot of cheap shots. If I did choose that name I would make the crew wear capes.

Attorney General Alberto Gonzalez has resigned today. This being the second recent senior Bush Administration to submit walking papers in the past few weeks. The political wheels are finally coming off of the Bush war-wagon.

What does this indicate is happening to this Administration? Is the President finally accepting defeat? Are these resignations finally the Administrations way of saying, “Yep. We couldn’t do it ram it down everyone’s throats. We tried, we said 9-11 lot, and we showed a lot of gore on the TV, but the people still wouldn’t go for it.”

I am not sure if these resignations indicate a duck and cover strategy or if they are simply trying to put some distance between the most divisive of Bush’s cronies and the election in 2008. With Rumsfeld, Gonzalez and Rove all out of the public eye over a year before the next election, I suspect it will make people think the Republicons ain’t so bad. Especially if the cost of a gallon of gasoline starts to drop dramatically right before the next election.

I predict that gasoline will drop to about $1.45 to $1.55 per gallon right around Halloween of 2008.

Do any 8n5ers have any predictions or theories as to why Bush is throwing in the towel?
