Starving Children in Africa? Not Our Problem
|
12 August 2011
Commercials, news reports and our hyper liberal friends all tell us that the kids in Somalia need assistance, immediately. That is ridiculous. Why should we go out of our way to spend $5 on some kids who, obviously, don't deserve our money?

Heart of Darkness - Joseph Conrad
The Time Machine - H.G. Wells
As I find more books legitimately within the public domain, I will expand this list.
Also, if you think of any public domain books that you would like to see added to this list, just post them in the comments.

"I fought for your freedom of speech":
This phrase is just hidden code for "I don't have the mental capacity to counter your intellect, so I'm going to bring up the point that I was involved in the killing of people to possibly bully you away from your point of view." It is also another way of telling a non-vet that they are entitled to their own opinion while strongly implying that any opinion that opposes their own is wrong. The problem here lies in the fact that the majority of veterans that use this type of argumentation are bigoted right wing idiots that have not quite yet figured out how to think for themselves, much less form an idea that is deeper than 'brown people bad.'
Amazing Advertising Campaigns

1800LoanMart has acquired, quite possibly, the most brilliant spokesperson in advertising history: Hulk Hogan. By having Hogan screaming loan advice at his Hulkamaniacs, 1800LoanMart has targeted a tough to reach niche market, Hulkamaniacs. By zeroing on wrestling fans, the loan financing company has isolated and piqued the interest of approximately 97% of those in need of high interest, immediate, loans.

Lately, I've been bombarded by advertisements for high tech gadgetry, luxury automobiles and name brand clothing. Justin Timberlake and Peyton Manning think I should purchase a Sony 3D HDTV for $3059.99 (although, if you're really in the market, Mitsubishi is releasing one soon that's 60" for $999.99). Lexus has a car that has pure silver dust polished into the interior wood panels. Nike seems to think that $70 is a reasonable price for a Landon Donovan US Soccer jersey. Add a comment

Many of you may have seen this video Tosh.0; however, I feel that this woman is an amazing parent. Oh, yeah, she might be having her kids make it rain while she dances sensually (for them...?). Add a comment
Damn White People

Internet, I have a severe problem with you right now; what's up with the utter lack of funny jokes about white people? I understand one aspect of this lies in the fact that pre-1960s minorities might have had a fear of repercussion in the form of lynching if the wrong white person overheard a joke. However, times have changed; no longer should such a fear linger (at least in most of the U.S.). Add a comment

This is a pretty obvious troll, but that doesn't change the fact that the

The Amazing Adsense Banners
|
07 August 2009
For the first year of using Google Adsense for my advertising banners, they only seemed to display text ads that were offering remedies to fix morbid obesity. Now, I'm noticing more and more that there are regular banners in place of the text ads, and I have no problem with that whatsoever; it makes Morbid Optimism look that much more professional. However, over the last few days, I've noticed the banners are becoming quite hilarious considering the content of the site. Add a comment
