Today's News: Yahoo Titles ftw, Sony commentary, & Music notes

Yahoo News for the Win!
I know it’s obvious, but the lead-in for an article about a tornado going through Oklahoma? “Oklahoma Tornado Leaves Path of Destruction.”

You know, in case someone thought that perhaps a tornado might leave a path of peach cobbler or something. “Oklahoma Tornado Leaves Path of Construction.” “Oklahoma Tornado Leaves Path of Yellow Bricks.”

What else do they think we might assume it would leave, exactly?



The “Limbo Era” of Music
Talking with an employee tonight at work, and discussing our apparently-similar tastes in music – or at least, our similar tastes in music we extremely dislike – we named this particular period of music. Late-70’s, you know it when you hear it. It’s not rock, it’s not pop, it’s not disco… it’s just pathetic. Think “Katmandu.” Hear this in your head: “Just take those old records off the shelf…”

Yeah. You get the idea. What the f*ck is this sh!t? It’s not rock (even though it talks about it in the song title!). It’s not pop. It’s not… well hell, it’s not
even good. What do we call it then?

The “Limbo Era.” They were coming down off the hard sh!t they were high on for so long, and they hadn’t quite perfected the bad hairdos & horrible fashion sense or electronic piano rhythms that would come to suckify the 80’s. So they just sang generic, not-worth-writing-and-singing crap-fests.

Ah, those were the days. No, wait. No they weren’t! wtf?!



Best. Onion Video. EVER.
Probably the most accurate commentary on Sony EVER.

Sony releases Stupid Piece of Sh!t that doesn’t f*cking work.

Sony: taking years off of the lives of the tech-illiterate for 30 years.
