The harsh reality is that the first world (and most of the second) wrote off most of Africa as hopeless a long time ago. No government wants to get involved there because it's perceived as a waste of effort.
You need a pretty teenage girl to front your band, preferably one who looks a little edgy, but really isn't. Disney can clone you one for a very reasonable fee.

Not only that, but about half the time, I can't even get the damn movies I do have in my queue to actually stream to my 360 at all (I just get a vague "Playback did not start" type message).

I saw an interview on CSPAN this morning with a representative of the Entertainment Software Association.

My wife flipped out and left me when I bought those instead of paying the mortgage last month. Too bad for her that she's not here to enjoy the cleanest USB signal I've ever seen!
You PC-using commoners just don't understand good design ascetics. We hipsters who are better than you understand that the gray lines are a design choice, not a flaw.

Yes, because there has never been a right-wing dictator...or thousands of them.

No, no, the American government has apologized for Britney Spears on several occasions.

The second season was actually pretty good. A lot better than that Buffy crap, anyway.

That's a very eventful 22 days.

Common mistake. Both "50 First Dates" and "Jaws" feature hideous man-eating creatures that started out their careers with Steven Spielberg.
I'm Teddy. Look at your pictures.

Now get me the largest Christmas goose you can find and I'll give you a shilling!
At least the pirates weren't out $50 for this turd.
Just once I'm going to turn it off during one of these messages just to see what happens. If I don't make it out alive, tell my wife I love her.
Still can't top the greatest Sandler love ballad ever, "Medium Pace." Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a date with a shampoo bottle.

That's no way to treat man's best friend. Now, cats on the other hand...well they're just asking for it. At least, that's what I told the jury anyway.
Dugg down for not including the requisite flame or "OMG, this is so awesome!"
Wait, did you say this was /.? Nevermind.
These days you can rent anything: midgets, goats, donkeys, a surprising number of cast members from "The Facts of Life", anything you can imagine.
pointless masturbation
That, sir, is an oxymoron.
I prefer a third option. Here goes:

Problem solved.
Take it as a compliment. Mother Theresa is totally sexy.
