The ads were originally aired in Europe with average-looking women. They just forgot to replace them with average-looking American women when they exported it.
Not all of us have the 16:9 tv required to view average looking American women.
Not so new that I haven't seen that joke a hundred times or cracked it myself more than once. Just because it's been going on for a while doesn't make this sort of 'red top' reporting acceptable.
You must have skin much thicker than mine, honoured elder.
No, newbie douche, the failure is on your part. What you state here is not what newcastlejon objected to above where you said:
I thought Slashdot was above such flagrant editorialism.
The only possible explanation is that you are new around here. Slashdot has never been above such flagrant editorialism. The site is founded on such, and has been like that since day one.
Sorry, I'm sure that is libelous and suggests that lawyers are a bunch of miserable, manipulative pricks. That part is merely an opinion and should be stated as such.;-)
What did a bunch of miserable, manipulative pricks ever do to you to imply they are lawyers?
After all we know how ppl using txt spel pfectly an don abbrev any wrds.
I'm sure they anticipated that... that's why the 1600 word/phase list is probably 1600 variants of the phrase "F**** the PTA" or "The Pakistan Telecom authority sucks"
They're trying to steal the thunder of Jeannie C. Riley's mom?
I'm more sympathetic to OWS, though. I'm really not sure how the heck the Tea Party went from that initial issue to the parade of ignorance and anti-intellectualism and downright cold-heartedness that has been on display at the Republican debates.
Co-option by the usual suspects. It is something I have heard more than a few OWSers make mention of. Most of them specifically do not want to be taken over by the DNC, George Soros, etc.
What I would personally love to see is the original Tea Partiers get together with OWSers, jettison their differences, and focus on the handful of things on which they agree.
I'm not making light of people "losing" their jobs, I'm happy about it. And not because it is something good, but because it enables something good to happen.
If 10,000 men would cheer the death of one man, the life of that one man is worth more than those 10,000 men.

And before anyone trots out the "Marilyn Monroe was a size 16" bit of tripe, understand that 1960 size 16 is not the same size 16 as 2011.
Except that the people that were oppressed in apartheid are now running the country and making the laws. I guess the Golden Rule is still valid.
Which one? "Whoever is in charge will rain a golden shower upon everyone else"?
You're fooling yourself. There are plenty of blacks who blame their current plight in the US on slavery that ended 150 years ago.
Which is why we need to stop this peaceful protester shit and kill some fucking pigs.
They send one of us to the hospital we send two of them to the morgue.
Be careful. Supposedly the current prez knows some about the Chicago Way.
Or, ya know, they aren't harming anyone, they have a constitutional right to assemble, so, um... why the fuck SHOULD they disperse?
It's worse. By holding their pledge to Norquist sacrosanct, they violate their oath of office.
Meanwhile - outside the U.S. of A....
We can't see them in the U.K. or Ireland, where we only get "chosen" episodes.
Same goes for Comedy central shows like Jon Stewart + Colbert.
And... South Park.
The president CAN fix it by vetoing every bill that doesn't comply.
I think the OP was referring to the early-mid 90's when no-code was initiated.
No, newbie douche, the failure is on your part.
Wow, that seemed harsh. Do you talk like that to people in the real world?
In retrospect it's clear that I should have said "ought to be above...". Still, there's no need to be abusive.
No, I have a far more abrasive online personality. If you can't stand the heat, step away from the flamethrower.
Are you new here??

The editorializing in the summary, however, is so heavy-handed as to be absurd.
UID 1870390... Yep, new here.
The US Government was described as a "three ring circus," I think the EU would take more than 2 minutes to describe!
But why does each ring have a bunch of clowns?
Sorry, I'm sure that is libelous and suggests that lawyers are a bunch of miserable, manipulative pricks. That part is merely an opinion and should be stated as such. ;-)

So, other than a trendy marketing campaign and endless free publicity, what exactly do makerspaces have going for them that I can't get at the CC?
Hipster douchebags. Tons and tons of hipster douchebags.
Hell, I burned more than $200 worth of consumables in each of the welding classes I took at my CC (probably why it cost more than $200).
Human rights? In an Abrahamic theocracy? BWAHAHAHAHA!
FTFY.
I thought that was only allowed for the holy prophet to shack up with a young one.
Are we talking about Islam or LDS?

YHBT.
YHL.
HAND.
Women want college administrators instead of the police involved because the former have a ridiculously low level of proof as their standard. The one in four statistic is a lie.
Well sure, the internet is for music!
Nope.

TL;DR: Fuck the right to peaceable assembly.

This comment cries out for a Godwinning.
