Great, another reason for people *NOT* to learn their lesson. I understand there are some people caught out with unemployment and who otherwise could have afforded their mortgage. But I worked for a broker (as a graphic designer) and I saw people buying way out of their price range. People fibbing income statements to secure loans they never had an intention of paying back.

Just another excuse not to take responsibility for poor choices. Anyone else tired of hearing about all these people who shouldn't lose their homes? As a homeowner whose never missed a payment I'm sick of everyone saying that these people deserve the help.

Awesome, but am I the only one disappointed in the lack of bigger pictures?

You can't build a Vegas without the booze, gambling and sex and expect to survive. Why else are people going to suffer such hostile weather if they can't drink their way to being broke and infected with an STD?

So ... fireball = freckle cure? Wonder if anyone is going to try to put a patent on that.

Yeah, but if Queuebot is going to turn this place into a recycled boingboing, what's the point of clicking over here anymore?

@ Marissa - So better to starve then? Are you willing to volunteer to be the one to starve and send your food to people who don't have a ridiculously large assortment of edibles to choose from on a daily basis?

And no one else felt a twinge of fear? I mean dogs riding bikes, how long before that dog teachers others and soon an army of dogs have taken to the streets? Not long at all, not long at all.

To anyone who would get mad at this clip - you need to learn to read animal behavior. This was a behavior undoubtedly learned through positive reinforcement. Stop flying off the handle at any picture or video of an animal, your giving the real animal lovers bad names.

My mom tells me that her sisters drank hot Dr. Pepper all the time back in the day. I've always been a little curious to try it. I would imagine heating might bring out that spicy taste to it.

What a beautiful display of xenophobia.

So, we're selling cheap tat that's only going to end up slowly rotting in a landfill (or decomposing on the shelf of a thrift shop) and we're being picky over who made it? If you want to get something meaningful to remind you of your trip to a particular place - check out what local artisans are making.

Frankly people - I can't believe you are all being so imperialistic about this. Buy American because Americans need the jobs - so, people in other countries don't need jobs? You don't mind the fact that slave labor produces pretty much everything else in your lives - but a bit of nasty meaningless trash is a matter of national pride?

This guy could be surrounded by mugs of coffee and still not look anywhere close to attractive. Couldn't they have found a shirt that at least came close to fitting him?

And Gail, me thinks thou do protest too much....

Mac's marketing campaign is built on pretension, that's why they push so hard on branding the iPod and their computers as the thing cool, hip people use. Most people buying a Mac don't really go into it because they've done a load of research on what computer or mp3 player will best suit them, they buy for design and for the brand.

sadtomato - I bought an SUV because I work craft shows and the like and have to haul around a lot of equipment. My mother and grandmother (before she passed away) both rely on wheelchairs to get around and I needed a vehicle that could also carry both of those chairs around while still being able to comfortably carry to two disabled people, not including myself, my father, my husband or a cousin who came along to help with our outings.

Who are you to judge what I drive?

Be glad you never vandalized my car - I would have pressed charges against you. You are a sad, pathetic, judgmental, holier-than-thou waste of space.

Neat until I read the assorted comments.

Ah! My brain hurts! Too much logic, it's blinding me.

And where are the people crying out that this tramples on the rights of the sex offenders?

Ah, a meaningless gesture by a spoiled brat in a first world country. Whatever happened to setting yourself on fire to make a protest?
