I don't care what any of these eggheads say about estrogenic whatzahoozits. I'm willing to sing soprano and have a huge quivering hairy vagina in the middle of my chest if it means I get to have JUSTONE MORE GODDAMN BEER.

What the HELL is wrong with the pinheads who run San Francisco these days?
It's not like anyone in California takes this no-smoking-in-bars law seriously anyway. Last time I was in Los Angeles, for instance, the Cat and Fiddle in Hollywood was PACKED TO THE GILLS with smokers, and the bar even had ashtrays on every table! Har har! Great law!
So now some big-shoulder fancy pantsy San Francisco city attorney comes along and decides to sue a bartender for allowing people to smoke. Did anyone even vote for this law? Did they even put it to a vote? Now some hard-working schmoe is gonna lose his job because someone SMOKED in a BAR.
San Francisco: the city that looks the other way when people start a club where you can buy and sell pot but if somebody smokes in a fucking bar: "KILL him! Pull his ARMS OFF!" San Francisco: the city that hires convicted drunk drivers to drive its busses. San Francisco: the city that made it illegal to give coffee and doughnuts to homeless people. San Francisco: the city that couldn't decide if PUBLIC TOILETS were worth spending money on.
San Francisco: the city that never thinks.
Fuck you, San Francisco. Just for this, I'm NEVER moving back.

The Deep Dark Underbelly of the Star Wars Myth, or Ramayana Remembered
It's a fact: Star Wars is a blatant plagiarism of an ancient Asian legend, and the long lines of devout Star Wars freaks are really unscrupulous Asian copyright busters. From Indonesia to Thailand to Nepal, videos are available for sale or rent before they're even released in the US and UK due to this nerdy camcorder-clutching bunch. (More...)

Poor Metallica. All they want is to continue to put out the same weak "Heavy Metal" they've been churning out since the "And Justice For All" days? and make gooey wads of cash in the process. The problem is, people aren't buying their bound for the heavy metal scrap heap, over-produced, uninspired, tired crap. And let's face it, their various commercial endorsements won't pay for the lifestyle they've become comfortably accustomed to. Resorting to lawsuits makes perfect sense, when you need spending money. But just one lawsuit isn't going to pay their bills. So, to aid Metallica, I've composed an open letter to the boys in the band, with suggestions as to whom else they might sic their lapdog lawyers on... (More...)
