There are so many things wrong with this Craigslist ad:

     Stock … muffler … I guess we know where the scrapes came from … And apparently, Sex Ed is failing in Blount County. 

     Seriously, dude, ya know, if it’s not that hard and loud any more, they do make pills for that…

     For all of you people who keep cutting and pasting silly status messages on Facebook, MySpace or other Social Networking sites attempting raise awareness about miscellaneous things which may or may or may not be serious, I submit the following original — by yours truly — for your consideration:

Please copy and paste this to your status if you know someone, or have been affected by someone, who knows someone or has been affected by someone. People who know someone or have been affected by someone affect the lives of many. There is still no known cure for knowing someone or affecting someone, except perhaps never having existed, but we can raise awareness!

     Now, all of you people who do not exist, please stop trying to f#$*ing add me on Facebook.  

     Thank you.  Drive through.

     I find it very interesting that Apple is re-tuning some of their practices only after a Chinese employee commits suicide.  The suicide came about after the individual had been scrutinized and harassed by security personnel over a missing iPhone prototype.  Shortly after Apple released a statement saying all employees and contractors “must be treated with dignity and respect.”  Is this really true personification the idea “Think different,” that founder Steve Jobs promotes in the advertisements his company is so well known for? 

     The article from the Associated Press, mentions seventeen different violations including three where workers were hired underage,  eight infractions wherein workers paying “recruitment” fees were above the legal limits in those countries; three cases in which suppliers used non-certified vendors to dispose of hazardous waste; and three others where the companies gave falsified records during the audits.

     You might guess that now “Think Different” may take on some new connotations,  in my case it is yet another shade in the smorgasbord of issues with Apple products.

     This blog post contains absolutely no subliminal messages whatsoever, especially for anyone who enjoys a really good cheesecake.

     Whether or not you enjoy cheesecake, this post is completely of no consequence.

Mark will post something about the 18th. I don’t know what yet. I can only guess it will be good.

So for now we wait.

Until the 18th.

Seven days from now.

The 18th.

18th.
