To everyone patting Comcast on the back for a few scattered examples of decent, above board service, I advise you to checkThe Consumerist for a bit more information on Comcast's practices.
Finally, at least, all of us can get away with lying to the government and not go to jail for it!
Wait, this doesn't count for everyone? But two years in jail is so unfair!
Actually, if you want to be pedantic, the proper grammar is The Space Arsenal of the United States. According to The Elements of Style, the grammar bible, one is to use the form -Chris's book- rather than -Chris' book-, unless the entity is famous or well known, in which case it's much better to use something like -the Book of Moses- rather than -Moses's book-. However, that is still preferable to -Moses' book-.

I believe you are experiencing the Uncanny Valley Effect when you speak of your preference for less realistic and more stylized story telling. Most people agree with you. CG characters that are almost but not quite real enough are weird and slightly creepy.

That's funny, I generally find that people become dumber when pheromones are involved.
Ah, thank you. Frankly, I've always wondered which was right.
Hear hear!

That's why I came to this thread to post about it!
That thing flying over your head is not a UFO.
Are you trying to tell me humans aren't the most important thing in the universe? Pish tosh!

Or maybe no. Does every write up have to end with a question? And comments too?
I would sue that employee frontwards and backwards.
And, what's your name and address again, sir? We're taking a survey.
When you end your statement about changing the world with "Peace out.", you almost guarantee that no one will take you seriously.
"Permission to yell 'Bravo' in an annoying loud voice?"
"Permission granted."
"BRAVO!"
You're right, nothing could ever go wrong having someone physically carrying a message.

Gotta say, can't think of what it could be besides water. On the other hand, aren't the images artificially colored?
I disagree, dead babies is always the answer.
I prefer to cast pearls before my swine, you insensitive clod.
I always just keep a few magnets handy... just in case....
I prefer hardware solutions, rather than software ones.
This isn't about General Hospital? Ah.... you kids...
