If you read the previous entry detailing my cheap-ass meal purchased at Deal$, then you can appreciate this.
I can honestly say I don’t think I’ve ever seen anything packaged as ‘prebrowned.’ Maybe because it’s at the dollar store? A bag of Prebrowned Chicken Breast Chunk Fritters only sells for a paltry FOUR U.S. dollars? Sorry the quality of this pic is crappy–this was taken with my cell. Click thumbnail for larger version.
And since I’m on the food tip, here’s something I noticed while checking my Gmail account. I had to investigate.
Um, seriously? Yes, it’s real. French Fry Spam Casserole? I’m all about saving your money due to budget constraints buy why put such a horrible burden/agony/defeat/plague upon your own colon? Jesus H. Christ.
What is this crap about? Talk about tearing yourself a new one. There’s potential for peeling the paint off the walls. Damn. As my awesome Photoshopping indicates… EEW!
Here’s the latest iMovie installment. This required some stealth moves on my part as the neighbor was inside when I shot this.
Well then, I have just the website for you. Like everyone else in the world, I get a moderate amount of interest while looking through other people’s personal items and being a bit nosy. No, I don’t go digging through purses or anything of the like but when you make a ‘find’ of something other than your own, it can be fun. I suggest you check out Found Magazine. It’s pretty cool. Go for the random ‘finds’ as they tend to be the best. Here are a few I screencapped this morning for your pleasure. Of course, as usual with small images, just click for the larger version.
Speaking as someone who never took a journalism course, I’m fairly sure that the point of a headline is to provide a snippet of information regarding the article to follow. Most times, the headlines give accurate stats and other imperative information as to the content. Other times, article headlines (and sometimes the articles themselves) are just fucking stupid. I’m talking about the really obvious ones that, unless you are completely oblivious to the human condition, just read LAME, STUPID, and generally MORONIC. On that note, I give you this…

I’m not trying to be a heartless bitch on this because it’s a really sad scenario for any family and I know they are devastated and inconsolable. But seriously, how ELSE are the parents expected to feel? Should it read, ‘Travolta & Preston Celebrate Tragic Death of Son with Trip to Disneyworld; Eat Hot Dogs and Enjoy Witch Mountain,’ instead? While this screencap is from CNN.com, they are not the only guilty party in this literary faux pas. In fact, I can’t think of any other organization that doesn’t publish similar articles. Another that comes to mind was a chyron blurb from a regular CNN broadcast. It read something like, ‘Obaba Affected by Absentee Father.’ Again, no shit. Since when does being abandoned by a parent not change the core of who one is? I realize that these types of news pieces are geared at emotion but the common-sense headlines are insulting for anyone who has more than a 3rd grade education.
