Simply Dumb

This just sounds like a stupid idea.  A car commercial where they have a whole Jihad theme featuring Fatwa Fridays where they give kids free rubber swords.  How inappropriate and stupid!

A car commercial proclaiming a jihad on the U.S. auto market and offering “Fatwa Fridays” with free swords for the kids is offensive and should not be aired, Muslim leaders said on Sunday.
The radio advertisement for the Dennis Mitsubishi car dealership in Columbus, Ohio, has “a whole jihad theme,” said Adnan Mirza, director of the Columbus office of the Council on American-Islamic Relations.
“They are planning on launching a jihad on …read more

Why would someone want to impersonate a Terracotta Warrior?  I bet it’s creepy down there and Chinese police are scary!
Lucky for the German student who did the deed Chinese officials simply disrobed him and sent him home instead of charging him.  They did however confiscate his home made robe that I’m sure took a long time to make.
Here’s my advice; if you’re going to spend loads of your time making a replica of an ancient robe, wear it for Halloween!

A German art student briefly took up a place among China’s famed Terracotta Warriors over the weekend — only to be …read more

I don’t really understand why Gary Weddle vowed to not shave his beard until Bin Laden is caught.  Does being extra hairy help anyone?  HIs poor wife has to live with the ugly thing…Shouldn’t what she wants count for anything?

After the September 11 terrorist attacks, Gary Weddle followed the news so closely he forgot to shave. After a week he decided not to shave until Osama bin Laden was caught or killed.
Nor has Weddle, 46, who expected the al Qaeda leader to be caught within a month or so, trimmed his facial hair in the succeeding five years as he …read more

A customer of Starbucks is suing the company for $114 million over their feelings of betrayal after Starbucks wouldn’t honor their coupon for a free drink.  I agree that Starbucks should be punished somehow for not accepting the coupon, but why does one customer deserve $114 million?  I guess it’s a good lesson for me…now that I live in the United States I can sue people frivolously!  Hurray!  Check out the story here:

Starbucks (SBUX) was sued Friday for $114 million over its recall last week of a coupon that entitled the holder to a free large iced drink.

I just got off a one hour phone call with my buddy Brad, the manager at a call center at AT&T. 
The reason I was calling was to set up unlimited calls for me to Canada.  I had spoken with a few other AT&T employees who had told me conflicting quotes so I asked to speak with the manager to make sure I was getting the correct information.
Let’s skip past the frustrating first 20 minutes with Brad where he was trying to make me pay for services I didn’t want and cut to the stupid case at hand!  In order …read more

Back before caller ID I remember hearing the phone ring and thinking "Oh it’s gotta be Grandma". Being able to hone in on these telepathic phone skills just isn’t as useful these days but a researcher in England took this skill on in a scientific experiment.  I don’t really agree with his methodology and his findings weren’t all that significant because of this but check this out:

Many people have experienced the phenomenon of receiving a telephone call from someone shortly after thinking about them — now a scientist says he has proof of what he calls telephone telepathy.
Rupert Sheldrake, whose …read more

Umm…This is really dumb.  I’m sure this is fake because if it wasn’t Suri would have been constipated for 4 months.  It’s one thing to bronze baby shoes, but a piece of poop is going a little too far for even a crazy person like Tom Cruise.  This has got to be fake!

I’ve always heard that waiters make tons in tips, but this is a little much!  Cindy Kienow must give GREAT service!

A bartender who last week was left a $10,000 tip by a regular customer now has more than the excitement of the offer: She has the cash.
Cindy Kienow received a check Tuesday from Applebee’s franchise owner JS Ventures Inc. for about $6,300, her share of the tip after taxes.
The customer gave Kienow the hefty tip August 27 on a $26 meal. But since he paid by credit card, the restaurant wanted to make sure it was a valid charge before …read more

Hey guys!  I’m really sorry I haven’t been posting lately but I’m in the middle of a move to Chicago.  My internet will be set up if all goes well on Friday and things should slowly go back to normal after that.  Thanks for your patience!
