I just offloaded a good chunk of my wheat pennies. Some guy on the other side of the country took four weeks to get his, and despite having tracking info, left me negative feedback and filed a dispute with PayPal in the third week.
In the end, the post office had damaged the packaging and it took longer to get to him but now I have a negative feedback he won't agree to retract because somehow I'm the Postmaster General and oversee all mail delivery in the United States, so I should have known better than to ship anything via them.
I didn't even get an "I'm sorry, I was hasty, forgive me for being a jerk about this" apology, I got chastised by him for shipping in a padded mailing envelope covered in packing tape, instead of something more secure.
What about the so-called "mirror teens" who like to take photos of their 15-16-17 year old bodies and send them to boyfriends/girlfriends? Is the Aussie government going to start arresting them too?
My fiancee was pretty lukewarm about the 360 (She loves my Gamecube and Wii games though, and Final Fantasy on the PS2) but I had the same experience as you today.
Although, she's also pretty hardcore about MMOs and RTS games on PC, so she's not really all that casual, just the 360 never caught her attention.
My fiancee and I wanted a cheap laptop option for the end of our college days, and picked up the $400 Acer special at WalMart. Two of them, one for each of us.
Two years later, their screens have both died, their hard drives were on the way out, and their batteries are both half dead.
Do they manufacture these fucking flaws in or what?
This is me, in a nut shell. Sure, I download X amount of games a month, but most of them live on my hard drive for maybe two days (up to a month if I wasn't horribly interested in the first place and don't get around to installing them) before they're uninstalled and deleted.
There's no (that I know of) place to get PC game rentals, and I'm sure as hell not shelling out $40-60 for a brand new game if I'm only lukewarm on it, on a college student working part time budget.

Sale? They hand the stuff out for free!
My '05 Civic was!
True, but don't underestimate the challenges involved in actually assembling a good-looking car that's safe and doesn't break.
Remember the Yugo? Remember how Hyundai was (until recently, anyway)?
Remember Chevy? Remember Ford?
Yeah.
You must be new here.
Oh what the hell.
Hastur.
I'll give you $10 for it. :D

For two rolls of pennies.

You mean like they're doing in the US?
You know, unless you're in the Congo.
Guns don't "accidentally go off."
Ever.
That was a reply to a comment.
This.
I'm willing to bet the NRA had nothing to do with that, actually.
Try Hollywood?
Shooting someone without just cause is illegal.
It's perfectly legal for me to shoot you if you're doing something that warrants it.
Shit, as I said in an earlier comment, I started looking at porn of my own at about 11-12.
Well, guns aren't prohibited from minors viewing them, and I don't seem to remember anything about gore...
(Not that I agree with porn being an 18+ thing. I love porn, and have since I was about 11-12 but, as they say, "It is what it is.")

What are you doing in my house?
Get out of here stalker.
Okay, comrade.
I don't believe you've touched a woman.
Actually, the Supreme Court has ruled that the police AREN'T here to protect you. They're here to mop up after.
Well, three rights make a left...

No, conservatives just wouldn't want private corporations to have to pay for someone else's broadcasting costs.
