Rivertown

I'm thinking of going back to Blogger. Tumblr won't let me do ads. Google on the other hand, knows what drives the Internet.

Mylife.com ads

It's bizarre that all the women in these commercials are excited to find out that people are conducting internet searches for them. Only on TV commercials are women always excited to find out that they are pregnant and have someone searching for them online. Somebody who hasn't seen you in years and yet is fixated on you. Of course they want to know who it is. Will these women be disappointed if the guy who is looking for them is not someone with a giant novelty prize check?

Fun with Fiat commercials

This video shows Charlie Sheen driving a motor vehicle indoors. This type of behavior can lead to carbon monoxide poisoning, which can lead to brain damage, which answers a lot of questions. With all the alimony that Jennifer Lopez pays, this is the best car she can afford.

Overthinking the movie "Ted" and "Family Guy"

I notice that in this movie and Family Guy, there will be male talking animals in relationships with human females. For example, Brian the Dog and Jillian the Human were together for a few episodes. I see it, and I know it's a cartoon, so I just get over it. But this Ted movie is live action, and we see human actresses flirting with a goddamned stuffed animal. Yes, this movie sort of falls into the fantasy genre, since teddy bears don't sound like Peter Griffin in real life. But generally, people are still people in fantasy and science fiction. Humans will shack up with aliens on Star Trek and even have kids, but at least Vulcans look enough like humans that one could see the attraction. But Ted is a piece of cloth with cotton and/or polyester stuffing who works a dead end job, is addicted to drugs, and has no genitals.

Trayvon Martin case

I have no opinion on this case. I will not pretend to know enough to have an opinion on this case. I do like how reporters with no medical training will watch a video and say that Zimmerman doesn't appear injured. Imagine how much we could save on healthcare costs if used reporters instead of doctors.

A couple modest questions

1. If employers should be required to pay for insurance that provides contraception to women, should they also pay for dental insurance that provides free toothpaste? After all, your employer shouldn't tell you that you can't have birth control. Therefore, my employer should not tell me I cannot brush my teeth.
2. This November, Democratic voters must ask themselves this: How many Iranian civilians am I prepared to sacrifice for free healthcare?
3. Should auto insurance be required to pay for new tires and brake pads? Whenever a car with bald tires causes an accident, we shouldn't blame the driver for not maintaining his car. We should blame Congress for not passing the appropriate legislation.
