Microsoft To Announce Jerry Seinfeld Ads Cancelled
An anonymous reader writes "Valleywag says the Jerry Seinfeld ads are over — In a phone call, Frank Shaw confirms that Microsoft is not going on with Seinfeld, and echoes his underlings' spin that the move was planned. There is the 'potential to do other things' with Seinfeld, which Shaw says is still 'possible.' He adds: 'People would have been happier if everyone loved the ads, but this was not unexpected.'"
I read this and thought we were still talking about the US dumping it's IT waste overseas. So now we can look forward to seeing these ads on Indian television? Although I probably would pay to see a bollywood version.
What's funny (pun intended) is that the people who didn't think Seinfeld was funny attribute it to the show itself instead of their own lack of a sense of humor. The fact that they don't "get it" sort of solidifies it.
I think it's safe to dismiss that annoying list of yours. If not for the sheer number of invalid and made-up "facts" in it, the dollar sign crapflood, the comments on there or even the hilarious 4chan image linking is more than enough to write it off as propaganda and dismissed "without further thought", as you say.

And that specifically is why Seinfeld isn't funny. He's funny if you are a complete moron. Otherwise, his "observations" are all things that are trivially explained if you have half a clue.
Apparently, most of America doesn't.
