  1. Re:Young women don't need makeup.... on US Watchdog Bans Photoshop Use In Cosmetics Ads · · Score: 1

    Two?! Some fulfill only one of these criteria (my SANity points are progressing lim x->0 for quite a while now)

  2. Re:People still use windows XP? on Microsoft Upgrading Windows Users To Latest Version of MSIE · · Score: 1

    Sure, why should people update a system which runs sufficiently smoothly by an OS infamous for its resource hoggage?

  3. Re:Salt in the wound? on Internet Explorer Users Have Low Risk Intelligence · · Score: 1

    According to Wikipedia, they are synonyms: The Jew's harp, jaw harp, mouth harp, Ozark harp, trump or juice harp, is thought to be one of the oldest musical instruments in the world; a musician apparently playing it can be seen in a Chinese drawing from the 4th century BC.

    It is not a failure of the part of phantomfive to prefer a different synonym.

  4. Re:It's not (so much) the ads... on Google, Facebook Upset By Ad-Injecting Apps · · Score: 1

    Itis worse if you are a woman. Every single ad seems to be about beauty. It sucks.

  5. Re:if the models are virtual.... on Clothier Slammed For Using 'Perfect' Virtual Model · · Score: 1

    Just what I am saying. I dread clothes shopping due to the fact that clothes seems to imply these days that you are a beanpole without curves.

  6. Re:Online media is not the problem. on TV Ownership Declines For Second Time Since 1970 · · Score: 1

    For me this is not an issue, but then I was quite happy with a tiny television which would not meet any market standards today. While I do agree that 3D TV are a bad idea (full disclosure: I cannot see 3D at all so I am quite naturally just slightly biased) it was ownership, not new purchases which were reported. As such, I do not see how people who use their good enough LED / LCD or even CRT TVs as an issue. As long as they of course not just decide TVs are not a good idea and get rid of theirs.

  7. Re:Content worth watching, instead of bashing? on TV Ownership Declines For Second Time Since 1970 · · Score: 1

    For me it is certain tropes which ruin a series for me:
    * gender roles from the 19th century
    * women who only exist as decoration or object of relationships
    * women who are wearing clothes which are just ridiculous. I seriously would put most actors in a burkah for their performances, not out of Islamic fundamentalism but because enough is enough. (This gets a pass if the men are wearing as little as well)
    * magic
    * science is bad
    * "listen to your heart, not your head"
    * excessive violence

  8. Re:Obligatory from The Onion on TV Ownership Declines For Second Time Since 1970 · · Score: 1

    From my perspective, no! I am visually impaired and only seldomly feel the need to use a resolution this high. My home computer is connected to a cheap-as-dirt used monitor which fails to do display anything above 1024x768 and to me it is a feature, not a bug as it means the text is not scaled. BTW: I know quite a few people who don't have a TV but never met anyone remotely like the onion article. I generally find this out only when talking to the person a longer time. So yeah, while parodies are meant to exaggerate, I do not even see the thing they exaggerated upon (people without car however...).
