Sunglasses all made in the same place, a lot of clothing brands come from the same place as cheap ones, your starbucks coffee is the same company as Seattle's best. Skinny cow icecream cookies, are from Nestles... the list goes on...

WHY hasn't anyone made a website yet, where you can type in a product you're curious about, and it tells you who REALLY owns it?
I hate to death, these sneaky big corps and all their tentacles.

If those people in the background are frowning, then who cares? They're obviously not the shooting star that the guy in the front is anyway.
If you can't make the effort to be in front, then who cares if you're frowning. Losers!

I have some sort of auditory processing disorder, I forget the name.
When the house is quiet, I can hear a pin drop. I can distinguish a good variety of birdcalls from very very far away. I am very good at recognizing celeb voices in animated films, on radio etc.
However, If I'm on the phone and you talk to me at the same time, I can't understand what either person is saying. Its just a noise jumble.
If a fan is blowing, and it is louder than your voice then I can tell that you're saying something... I can hear you chirping away in high and low tones, but what the hell it is you're saying I don't know. The other noise is sort of jamming the signal.

Some people think I'm going deaf, no... I hear fine. I just have problems picking noises apart.

A lot of small rural towns across the USA will now be able to have local run DVD rental stores, keeping money in the community and in the pockets of small business owners.
Anyone wanting DVD's from one of the BIG GUYS can use the internet.

How is this a bad thing?

That was sweet, one of them should have given him a hug and a peck on the cheek at least! :)

I want to steal someone's stuff. Now who is sticking out like a sore thumb, with something stupid on their head, and obviously distracted?
...hmm...hmmm...

Seriously dumb.

Its religion that is set in stone (or paper). The nice thing about science is that as we find more factual evidence our bigger picture changes and (heh) evolves.
Yay for science! :D

So how bout that magic apple and the snake...

It was good, but the original was better for me, and I'll tell you why:
Around the same time (a little before or after, but either way) the Amazing horse song aka "Look at my horse" went viral/turned into a meme. So the old spice ad while cool, also reaffirmed the fact that horses are awesome.
It was a coincidence of timing that the motorbike in this ad couldn't compare to. Good try though.

Science is ghastly, but interesting none the less.
Gawd those poor rats... freaky.

I love what I consider to be "small american" brand candy. For example: Chick-o-stick, sixlets, idaho spud, cup-o-gold, mary jane, bit-o-honey etc.
I guess bigger companies probably bought most of these little brands out at some point or another, and are taking their cut behind the scenes, but to me they're still quaint old time Americana. Sad to see "Hershey" as the go-to for the USA section.

Also Kool-aid and Root beer were what my cousins in the UK wanted me to bring them when I visited.
The Kool-aid they liked (but had something similar, i forget what) and the root beer tasted like medicine to them and they found it completely disgusting. LOL

I thought I read something once about Pee-wee doing the playhouse show again, but haven't seen anything on it in a long time. Wonder what happened? I would have totally watched that.

I gotta say... I'm not a big fan of the "Lets put bacon in everything cause we're fat americans" trend.

There was an excessive use of caulk in this article. Both the gun choice, and the tranny.

In my youth, I recall passing by a fellow student (probably 2'nd grade or so) who was smashing bird eggs through a face of tears. I asked him what was was going on and he told me another kid had picked up the eggs and they had people scent on them, and HE was smashing the eggs (thinking he was being humane, and saving the embryos some suffrage) because the mom bird wouldn't come back, and leaving them would be cruel.

Kinda moronic, now that I see 7anya's snope link.

I bet she would have laughed even harder if he had drowned. Stupid woman.
