You're Correct.... I am an asshole!

Today in Business:

Data Theft: The Dept of Veterans Affairs reported electronic information theft on their 26.5 million veteran database earlier this month. Great idea! "Should we steal the Wall Street Journal customer database? the Robb Report? No way! The veterans!! There the ones with all the good credit!"

'Lapse of Judement': Fed Chair Bernanke conceded a "lapse of judgement" in telling a TV reporter last month that investors had "misunderstood" him. When originally reported, Ben's comments started a brief furor among traders. I find this very funny. From his beginning as Chair, Bernanke has been trying to be super-clear with everyone on what his goals/positions are. I believe he is trying to do this because his predecessor was so obscure in everything he said. The funny thing is, Ben's strategy has backfired on him. Greenspan figured out that if you talk without really saying anything then the markets have no reason to respond. Maybe Bernanke will learn this and we can go back to evaluating the status of the Global Economy by what the Fed Chair eats for lunch...

Check out his face!

A man who was wrongly billed as computer expert Guy Kewney for a BBC News segment was actually there to be interviewed for a cab driver job on a BBC reality show. Take a look at the link below for the video. Check out his reaction when they introduce him...

Yo Momma!

About 5 years ago, I swore off MTV because I was so tired of their self-involved shit. It seemed that ever show was about how some no talent and/or reality star was complaining about life and how bad ass they were. It was just so annoying. Last Month, I lifted the embargo because I have become out of touch with modern-day society. Anyway, I've thumbed thru quite a few shows. Next, Real World, Date My Mom, etc. They're all low-production-cost "staged" shows that exploit the weakminded youth that will say whatever the producers tell them either because A) they are 18 and are used to being told what to do OR B) figure it is their only way to be on TV.

Let me clear the air and establish that I am not a content snob whatsoever. For instance: I just spent 5 minutes debating whether to watch P.C.U., Top Secret!, or Cheap Trick(Conan O'Brien) while writing this blog. So my favorite out of these MTV shows is "Yo Momma" hosted and produced by Wilmer Valderrama. I can't imagine many quips coming from Fez's mouth, but okay. It's a competition on who can talk the most shit. Canned jokes from the so-called inner city. It is so inane I am embarassed for the participants. Please watch it for a fantastic laugh. It is truly the "Studs" of the Zeroes. In 2024, some 32 year old guy just like me will forward a "Yo Momma" clip to his buddies to show how impressive his lurky 00's TV lore is. What a loser!!

Anyway, this is the crappiest/cheesiest show I have seen in decades. It makes VH1's "40 Mugshots Countdown" look genious! First of all, I didn't care about Pacey 's misdeamor the first time I heard about it... do I really need the F-Class Celebrity "blow by blow"? Also, moving the photo around my tv set doesn't make it more exciting. Yes, we have A.D.D., but we aren't fucking retarded. "Look at the moving pictures George. George, tell me bout Pacey again."
