a passing observation
January 20, 2009, 12:41 amAn inventory of advertisements aired during the 00:35 break of an episode of The First 48 (warning: annoying flash video):
- Promo spot for The First 48
- A reality show about interventions
- WalMart
- Manwich
- An IUD
- KFC
- CoverGirl makeup
- Hebrew National
- Extended auto warranties
I wonder what this says about their target demographic other than an apparent penchant for global megacorportations and annoying auto-play flash videos.
astonishing fact of the day
January 16, 2009, 4:34 pmSins the Catholic church considers worse than genocide:
- attempting to assassinate the Pope
- a priest revealing someone’s confession
- a priest having sex and then offering forgiveness
- participating in an abortion and then trying to become a priest
- and, last but certainly not least, desecrating a eucharist (this includes simply not eating it)
Who knew that the Atkins diet could end up ranking you above Hitler.

According to the Freakonomics Blog the value of the Zimbabwe Dollar has fallen so low that it is cost-effective to use the $1000 note as a replacement for toilet paper.
