The Oscars are a bunch of MAFIAA types stroking themselves, and assuming (with the complicity of the media) that the entire fucking world cares about it.
When we give/get awards, it's in the family.

I only got a Facebook account so I could keep an eye on my daughter's page.
I got a LinkedIn account 6 years ago when I was laid off. I've gotten a few job leads from it.
Unix - You have to buy a million dollar vendor supplied computer, pay a hundred thousand in licensing fees, and were only allowed to run approved utilities with out violating your service contract.
Would you care to explain that bit to oldSCO (aka Santa Cruz, not the SCOundrels)?
"Nice restaurant youse gots there. Be a shame if you had lots of negative reviews, now, wouldn't it, Vinny?" "Yeah, Guido, it sure would!" "Well, we's got an offer for youse that youse can't refuse...."
Have you ever been laid off, with a family to support, and a mortgage to pay? I have been. And at the time I would have taken anything, even an "employer like that".
And the point is that HR flunkies bin resumes all the time for all sorts of dumb reasons -- even at "good" companies. Story poster doesn't want them to have yet another dumb reason.
Except that it never gets to the point where an "employer worth their spit" will double check. The HR flunky will see "ZOMG!!!! PEDOPHILE!!!!" and bin the resume before it gets anywhere.
When was this? I was there a few years back and they didn't have that.
In addition, at the Flamingo, you have to walk through the casino to get to the buffet and other restaurants. I'm not sure they'd do that out in the open.
It wasn't a problem, it was just a good laugh -- "She bought her car on the Visa".
To be honest, a few years back, I tried the same thing -- was going to buy a car on my home equity line, didn't have the checks with me, but the dealer wouldn't let me put more than $5K on the home equity Visa.

Meet your new boss... same as the old boss...
You forgot litigious bastards, or is that just the SCOundrels who are litigious bastards?
California has Hollywood and Silicon Valley.. they should generally be rolling in cash...
They would be, if it weren't for those Evil Content Pirates(tm), just ask the xxAA amd the BSA!!!!
But then Plankton would keep trying to pirate it!

I believe SCO was certified SVID compliant.
Wouldn't that be un-HURD of?
Obviously, they should have started their data haven in the Sultanate of Kinakuta.
In other words...

As is their right. They remember the fact that the ancient Egyptians worshipped them, and have never forgiven us for stopping.

In CA, at the Chumash Casino, when the guy next to me got a call, the dealer immediately asked him to step away from the table.
You wrote this tongue in cheek, but that's probably how the MAFIAA sees it, and how they present it to their bought-and-paid-for CongressCritters.
There's an xkcd for everything, isn't there?
Itanium is also the current processor for NonStop systems.
You, sir, win the pun-of-the-year award (at least so far).
And how do I get my ${SPORTS_TEAM} fix from that?
