Angry Minute Have you ever purchased something, that has one of those warning labels on them? You know the ones I mean, the labels that make you scratch your head and say “what moron doesn’t know this”?
The new America, that’s whom!
Oh you mean that if I drop something electrical (like a laptop, or a hairdryer) into a bathtub I’ll shock and maybe (hopefully) kill myself? Really? REALLY! I had no FRAKIN idea!!! WARNING LABEL NEEDED!
A jar of peanut butter contains peanuts? I’M FLABBERGASTED! WARNING LABEL NEEDED!
Did you know that when a lawnmower is running you shouldn’t place your hands or feet under the mower? You mean I could lose a limb from the SHARP METAL ROTATING BLADE!!!! How was I ever to know without a FRAKIN WARNING LABEL?!?!?!
Do you see the moronicness? And what’s even stupider is that moronicness isn’t even a word! I have to MAKE UP WORDS to describe have mentally debilitating this really is!!!!
How about some quickies?
-WARNING: Do not use disposable razor during an earthquake
-WARNING: Wheelbarrow is not intended for highway use
-WARNING: Microwave is not to be used for drying pets
-WARNING: Silly Putty is not to be used as ear plugs
-WARNING: Wearing this Superman costume does not enable you to fly
-WARNING: Hammers may be harmful is swallowed
-WARNING: Do not attempt to stop chainsaw blade with your hand
-WARNING: Sleeping pills may cause drowsiness
-WARNING: Do not put bottle rockets in your mouth
WHAT THE FLYING FRAK-A-DACK-A-DING-DONG IS THIS SHAT!?!?!?!
Well, the short end of the stick is that some moron with no common senses decided to do something so stupid that a warning label like those above were required. I bet that moron sued and the legal department of these companies were FORCED to tell their customers what should be OBVIOUS. Do you REALLY think a Superman costume will make you fly? If so, you should be locked down in the FUNNY FARM! Did you SWALLOW a HAMMER?!?! HOW THE HELL DO YOU SWALLOW A HAMMER… AND WHY?!?!? Sleeping pills made me drowsy? I can’t stop a chainsaw blade with my bare hand?!?! WHO ARE THESE IDIOTS?!?!?!
Do you want to know WHY America is the laughing stock of the world? Because of inbred retards who live here! Sue happy asshats who think that it isn’t common knowledge that drying your cat in the microwave isn’t the smartest idea in the world.
Who to blame? Let’s start with the schools! Are we not teaching these things?!?! Are we not telling out children that blades are sharp? How a microwave works? That hammers aren’t edible? That bottle rockets aren’t edible? WHAT THE FRAK ARE WE TEACHING THEM THEN?!?!?!
We can also blame the parents, because if your el rejecto of a child performs any of these ludicrous activates then you really REALLY need to look in the mirror and decide if you are competent to raise another living being!
And finally I blame the law! We need a law that says “You cannot sue in cases where common senses was not used”. What ever happened to PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY! There is that word again, because AMERICA HAS NONE! Here in America if you do something sooooooooo retardo you can sue too and become a millionaire just because you didn’t use common sense! UN-FRAKIN-BELIEVABLE!
Here’s one last warning, and the funny thing is I had to add this to my website because PEOPLE COULDN’T UNDERSTAND!
-WARNING: Masked Douchebag #8 is a DOUCHEBAG!

Angry Minute Yeah, you’ve seen and heard it about a million times:
“This telecast is copyrighted by the NFL for the private use of our audience. Any other use of this telecast or any pictures, descriptions, or accounts of the game without the NFL’s consent is prohibited.”
Yeah, and I’m a 14-foot twonicorn who loves to paint my nails purple starfire and fly under the sea with my good pal Bubbles the mother frakin monkey!!!!!
That’s called sarcasm kids, that’s cause the NFL’s copyright warning is a bunch of bullsheet. BULLLLLLLSHEEEEEEET!
The NFL wants to SCARE people into thinking they own EVERYTHING about the NFL. If the above copyright was entirely true I couldn’t take a picture of an NFL game (on my own camera even) and SHOW you that picture without the NFL’s consent (and I sure couldn’t post that picture on YouTube or Facebook). That makes NO senses, it is MY picture and I took it on MY equipment. Even if I would take a picture of my TV, while an NFL game is on, I’d still need consent?!?! That is retarded! That’s because the NFL is retarteded and they are LIERS!
How about another example? Well, the copyright says “descriptions”. So on Monday when I’m standing at the water cooler I can’t even DESCRIBE how my Washington Redskins opened a barrel of whoop-ass on them pansy ass Dallas Cowboys. No, I’d need consent from the NFL to even DESCRIBE what I saw. That’s like telling a police office, “I’d love to describe the crime to you but I don’t have the copyright from the criminal to describe what happened.”
What bullsheet. Utter bullsheet.
The NFL can suck on my dingle berries because they are LIERS.
You see here in the good US of A we have a thing called FAIR USE. Look it up if you don’t know (see reference).
Another thing is YOU CANNOT COPYRIGTH HISTORY! No one can copyright that the atomic bomb was dropped on Japan, no one can copyright that Obama is our president, and no one can copyright that the Pittsburgh Steelers are the current defending NFL Champions. History happened, so it is free game. The NFL is saying they OWN history. I can’t tell someone that my Redskins are 3-time champs??!?! BULLSHEET!!!!
The NFL are bullies! They are purposely deceiving the public. Hell, they are even FORCING their players, staff, and the MEDIA from using Twitter and services like Twitter to report happenings about the NFL! What babies! Are you scared NFL? Are you scared that since your writers suck and your commentators suck (BOOM, Tough Acting Tinactin! Thank FSM John Madden is retiring, I mean I’ll miss jems like “If they want to win the game they will need to score points”) that people will get their NFL information from sources outside the NFL? Well tough titty because IT’S LEGAL! If I wanted to I could watch an NFL game, and then REPRODUCE said NFL game using my WWE action figures (they are action figures, not dolls) and the NFL wouldn’t be able to do jack sheet except cry about it. Wanna sue me NFL? BE MY GUEST! I’ll happily take you to court because the truth is someone needs to stop these lies. LIER LIER FOOTBALL PANTS ON FIRE!!!
========================
POSTANGER:
I hate the NFL, I really do. But until someone else brings a football league that can compete then the only thing we’ll have is the NFL. But due to the amount of retarded rednecks in this world, the NFL will continue. Because people would rather watch their teams then raise their kids. Because people would rather live through something that THEY ARE IN NO WAY A PART OF instead of getting off their lazy asses and working towards making their life better.
Frak the NFL! But on the ironic side, GO REDSKINS!!!!!

Angry Minute What ever happened to Personal Accountability? It used to be that people took responsibility for their own actions. It used to be that people, when they did wrong, admitted to such wrongness and moved on.
People in our world no longer have Personal Accountability. It’s never “their” fault; it’s always someone else’s.
This has been pissing me off for a long time because, even though I’m a Douchebag, I’ve always taken personal responsibility for my own actions. I blame no one for my problems except for me. Why? Because I’m a MAN and not a whiney bizitch!
So do you need an example of this heinosity in action? Well I got the perfect example:
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32084656/ns/local_news-san_francisco_bay_area_ca/
Erik Estavillo, a San Jose native, is suing Sony due to a first amendment rights dispute. Erik was “trash talking” during a video game outing on the Playstation 3 and was eventually banned from Sony’s online network for breaching their Terms of Service. Erik “thinks” that Sony is infringing upon his rights to free speech… what do you think?
I think Mr. Estavillo needs to stop being a pansy ass bizitch and take his punishment LIKE A MAN! The article informs that Erik was warned ON THREE SPERERATE OCCASIONS that his language was unacceptable and that if it continued that his FREE MEMBERSHIP to the Playstation Network would be terminated. Obviously Erik continued and Sony decided to release him from said service.
Mr. Estavillo admits to the trash talking, but says “virtually everyone who plays the game participates in the same language”. I guess since everyone was doing it that he shouldn’t be punished?!? I wonder if “virtually everyone else” was reported as well, and if “virtually everyone else” ignored their warnings too. That’s a lot of IFS right there. Guess that means good ol’ Erik was ASSuming, and we all know that means he is making an ASS out of himself!
Erik’s biggest complaint about being suspended is that he has agoraphobia. That means he is afraid of crowds and public places (so no PHYSICAL interation with people). So since he can’t be in society as a functioning member he needs to hide in the dark realm of his basement and play Playstation to retain any sense of being social. But now that the evil drones at Sony have targeted him UNFAIRLY (that’s called sarcasm kids) he has filed suit. He “needs all the support (he) can get” because of his illness/handicap. Erik is suing based on violation of his first amendment rights and on counts of theft due to the inability to access in game credit he has purchased with real money due to the suspension (I currently don’t have access to Playstation’s ToS but I can almost guarantee that Erik forfeited his credits upon getting suspensed AND was most likely reinformed of this during one of his THREE warnings).
This kid (the article says he’s 29 but anyone who acts like this is no adult) needs a reality check.
REALITY – Agoraphobia is a horrid thing to have, but that doesn’t entitle you to ANY special treatment on the Playstation Network. Obviously the people online reported you, which means those people didn’t like you and what you were doing/saying. If you weren’t such a DICK then you wouldn’t have these issues. (for more information see: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Agoraphobia)
REALITY – Not everything is protected under the First Amendment. I can’t stand on a sidewalk and just start blurting out obscenities. THAT WOULD BE ILLEGAL. The use of your language was so vile and distasteful that Sony had to think about OTHERS besides yourself. Little kids play these games, and RESPOSIBLE PARENTS don’t want their spawn to hear such filth. Clean your act up and MAYBE these players will want to play with you. There are more people in a game then just your friends, you need to be considerate of EVERYONE and not just yourself.
REALITY – You were WARNED THREE TIMES. What, did you NOT take these warning seriously? In the REAL WORLD when you are given a warning you work to resolve the issue OR… well three strikes and you’re OUT!! What makes YOU so special that YOU don’t have to play by these rules? Being agoraphobic? FEARS ARE NOT RIGHTS!
REALITY – Sony owes you NOTHING. They gave you the OPPPERTUNITY to enjoy their service FOR FREE and you shat all over them and their players. You took advantage of the service, you abused those who use the service, and you showed no disregard or regret about it AT ALL. Even after being suspended you don’t even APOLIGIZE?!?!?! Your defense is “everyone does it”. If everyone else jumped off a bridge would you? Just because others do it DOES NOT GIVE YOU THE RIGHT!
REALITY – The Playstation Network is a PRIVATE network. They owe you NOTHING. You AGREED to Sony’s Terms of Service upon creating your Playstation Network account and in that agreement you promised to play nice or face penilty. Now you are being reprimanded due to your inability to play by the rules. YOU AGREED TO THIS! You are CONTRACTUALLY OBLIGATED to use the service AS AGREED UPON! If you can’t play nice YOU CAN’T PLAY AT ALL!
========================
POSTANGER:
Erik, you need to learn to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY for your OWN actions. Regardless of any mental/physical handicap you are just like everyone else when you enter the online world. Isn’t that what you want? To be like everyone else?
The real truth is you want SPECIAL treatment. You want to be able to do whatever you want without repercussions. But you don’t DESERVE any special treatment, you deserve to be BANNED.
As a gamer I’m HAPPY to see you banned. I hate it when DICKHOLES join my game and “talk trash” because they think it makes them “cool”. You’re not cool, you ruined people’s experiences of the game and caused THEM pain and suffering. So I think that the GAMERS should be able to SUE YOU!
Just because you are handicapped doesn’t give you the right to be an ASSHOLE. Get over yourself and learn to take PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY!!!
