An Answer to a Question Nobody Asked

Hippies rejoice! That is, if you live in the United Kingdom. Toyota has decided to foist a limited edition Prius onto the British market, replete with graphite rims and privacy glass. The package also includes a body kit, important to assist with aerodynamics when you approach such blistering speeds over 45mph. Here's a picture of the monstrosity:



How much you ask? It will be on sale for the equivalent of $41,636 USD. Granted, cars tend to be a tad more expensive in Europe due to Value Added Tax (VAT), but even still, the price differential between the basic shitbox and this special edition can't be blamed entirely on VAT. I hope Toyota hasn't entirely resolved the faulty brakes issue with their cars. I say this because I wish the folks who ante up for this smug mobile go crashing through the charred walls of the damned, straight to hell, for buying such a hideous vehicle.

Memo to the green Ford Explorer

Hey, genius - passing a car waiting to turn left on Constitution
Avenue this morning, BY GOING INTO ONCOMING LANES and passing him on
the left is a great way to Darwin yourself, your fugly wife passenger,
and anyone who has the misfortune of driving near you. This is not
Grand Theft Auto, asshole!

MPD - how about some enforcement out here before people start dying,
you worthless sacks of pig shit?

"People are just f-ing dumb"

My nominee for honorary member of the League of Angry Gentlemen?
Kerry King, Slayer guitarist. I could not agree more with the source
of his inspiration:

"The stupidity of humanity... is what fuels my fire. People are just
f-ing dumb. In all aspects of life, be it at a ballgame, an airport, a
bus station, you have to interact with people and people are so
inherently f-ing stupid. I harbor that. It's something that happens
every day. I'll be like 'I'm in a great mood. I'll never make up
lyrics today.' Just go out and mess around with people for a couple
hours and come back fueled for the fire."

Welcome to the League, Mr. King.

Things I Could Do Without in My Life: Sports Commentating

It's piss and moan Monday, folks, so let's talk about something that's chapped my ass for a long time. Sports commentators. With both the NLCS and ALCS in full swing, we're getting an up front view of just how bad these hacks are. Take that asshole Joe Buck for instance. Here's a guy who got where he was because of his daddy and is clearly uninterested in America's favorite past time. He also knows nothing about the Philadelphia Phillies and the team's history, despite having called their games for years now.

While John Madden is borderline senile (stating that a team needs yards adds nothing to the football experience), Buck is more or less the consummate pessimist. He always finds a way to throw a subtle negative comment in there. Watching his diarrhea of the mouth around the 7th inning stretch is akin to that spectacular crash on Tuesday around 11AM after a long weekend of ingesting methamphetamines.

For good measure, here's my pal Artie Lange ripping on Buck's train wreck of a talk show, Joe Buck Live. Remember when Chevy Chase had his own talk show? Buck makes him look like a regular fucking Cronkite.

Wow, that really IS an annoying commerical!

Consumerist, a bit late to the table, but nonetheless:

Some of you may remember I commented on this very ad waaaaay back in April:

Wow, that's an annoying commercial!

Glad to see America agrees with me.  Now if only they'd read it here first!
