Its funny you mention Garfield as it was designed to be drek, as the creator new that even if it was bad, he'd be able to market it and reap millions. I always thought we called these people used car salesmen, but around here they call them role models apparently.
Considering MSN and Yahoo are just as good, I'd not pay a cent. However if they renounced their evil ways and actually did no evil, I'd pay a $5/month subscription.
Agreed. I tried "I Pecked This" (both with and without quotation marks) and not a single page had the phrase. Google got it in one with no quotation marks.
Sounds good to me. The bible is inappropriate to children. All that hate speech. Although as much as I dislike the book, I don't think it should be forced by government mandate to have the sticker.
How about, "I didn't know it was a violent game where the main character puts on a hockey mask and shoots up an elementary school. You would think it would have a label on it or something! How could I, as the parent of the suspect, known what the content of the game was. Every time I went down to the basement, he and his buddies were just watching Nick-at-Night. There was nothing on the box that told me the game was violent and besides, he bought it himself with the money he got from mowing yards."
Sounds like a poor parent who did nothing to investigate what the game's content would be. Reviews, both professional and amateur, would have told this bad parent what the game was about. If, you know, the parent cared enough.
It's the same authority to dictate speed limits, helmet laws, seat-belt laws, building codes, fire codes, electrical codes, plumbing codes, drug regulations, food regulations, health codes, container requirements, pollution regulations, blah blah blah.
All of those sound like they're hazardous to my physical health. How is a video game hazardous to my physical health?
The bible says Egyptians had Jewish slaves build the pyramids. That isn't true. Not only did Egyptians not use slave labour to build the pyramids, but the only possible time that some of the events in the bible could have happened in real life (mainly the part about first born sons being hid) was when Egypt was being occupied by an invading force.

That's despicable! These marketers were just doing their jobs [/sarcasm]
Seriously, go up and see a few of the posts. People actually argue that.

I was SO tempted to blow my mod points to mark five of your next posts redundant. But I won't ;)
Actually that's an interesting moral debate for lawyers. The fact you assume one answer is correct is telling.
By the way, its illegal for lawyers to lie. So if one thinks his client is guilty he can't say "This man didn't do it."
I didn't hop the iPod, iPhone, iwhatever bandwagon
I believe its called the iBandwagon.
Thanks for that :) That's quite an interesting find. I eagerly await future articles on the issue.
Then why did they try to give me a cookie?
So what's this search?
Err... it isn't pronounced how you pronounce book?

This is one case where I condone pirating. Its what I'd do if I liked any of your new fandangled noise.
Have a good relationship with your parents? Wait, no. That sounds too hard. I'd go with the sniper shot.

I assume unrated means that it has the highest classification this side of porn possible.
So politicians shouldn't have to say "I approve this message" in political ads?
the recorded case of an American burning the American flag can be counted in single digits. It's a non-problem.
I bet if they made the law the number would spiral into the triple digits.

Do Americans still have first-year Latin classes? I guess it's probably been superseded by "cheerleading" or something like that.
Probably. But they sound about as useful as each other though. So no great loss.

Actually I'd probably let me kids talk with MrSerialRapist997. They're most likely safer with him then anyone else.
and be put up for a family that wants children, but can't have them
You mean like a paedophile?
Oh man! I did not expect them to be what you said! Very good.
