The 10 States Where No One Wants to Buy a New Home (AOL Real Estate)

Aug 23rd 2011 12:41PM Well said. Does anyone really think the things that are basic to human happiness change or advance with technology? Does anyone think the people who lived in Rome or Greece eons ago were able to feel less joy loving their children or live lives of happiness and fulfillment? As human beings, technology doens't do anything to enhance human emotion, pleasure, pain, sorry, joy. In then, these things are immutable. Technolgy has only given us better ways to kill each other, not to love each other.

Consumer Ally's Top 5 Scams of 2010 (WalletPop)

Dec 31st 2010 10:53PM And well they should be. Maybe if we reinstituted a debtors' prison, it would force people to be cautious about what they want and when they want it.

Also, too bad the banks got the laws changed that decriminalized USURY -- you know it used ot be a CRIME to charge high interest rates. Used to be they would put usurers in jail. Now it's called banking. Used to be the Catholic Church would excommunicate usurers -- imagine all the bankers and credit card co execs that would be without communion these days.

You pretty much can get a better interest deal from a loan shark on the street than you can from a credit card company. Only difference is, of course, that the loan shark breaks your legs if you don't repay (which might be a good learning opportunity for many people), whereas the banks won't break your legs, but they will happily just bleed you indefinately with unending interest and late fees and over draft fees and turn you into a life long indentured servant. Hmmm, getting one's legs broken might not be so bad at that.

Consumer Ally's Top 5 Scams of 2010 (WalletPop)

Dec 31st 2010 5:10PM STUPID people get what they deserve.

Think you can get something for nothing? YOU ARE STUPID!

Send $20 to someone you don't know because you get an email? YOU ARE STUPID!

Send someone your bank pin numbers and other information because they ask you in an email? YOU ARE STUPID!

Think somone is going to pay for half your college tuition because why? you are good looking? No it's because YOU ARE STUPID! (Maybe they should have sent these fools to trade school instead of college).

Like Eric Holder is going to correspond with anyone via email. STUPID!

We'll Do It Taped! MTV Didn't Want a Live Lindsay (PopEater)

Sep 13th 2010 12:41PM She needs to get get out of Hollywood, get herself to some ordinary town in the midwest and a job at Micky Dees so she understands that she is just a shlub like everyone else. She needs to beat that lethal "celebrity" image of herself out of her head because that's the only way this lump of sad humanity will survive. Someone also needs to shoot all her enablers. Even if it's taped, this job is just another backdoor to the vapid lifestyle that obvious is killing her. LOOK AT HER -- death is written all over her face. Was this lame, unfunny skit worth it? It was the same as giving a watered down drink to a drunk -- it will still drive him to drink. Getting her back into the celb industry, taped or not, is adictive to her and and will put her back on that downward spiral. It's just enabling and feeding her addiction to believing she is better than the rest of humanity and should be treated special. It will kill her.

Taylor Thinks Kanye Can Take His Song and Shove It! (PopEater)

Sep 10th 2010 4:54PM BTW, NEITHER of them have any talent. MTV Video Awards = the
self-delusional spending the evening self-congratulating each other. It's nothing but a mutual masturbation fest; most of them are not only wasting space on the planet, but using up air too.

Medifast Diet (That's Fit)

Jun 14th 2010 1:34PM Right on. What does AOL they think people can't see thru their transparant ad/marketing scams? Well, so much for Medifast spending whatever big chunk of money this thing with AOL cost them, but it seems like it pretty much backfired. Bet they didn't plan on actual real people commenting that their product tastes so awful they couldn't stomach it and had to stop using it. People lost hundreds of dollars of loss on a product that tastes like cardboard, not to mention they didn't loose the weight.

Then again, maybe THIS is a scam marketing campaign for New Life Diet -- that one mentioned with glowing comments by one of the very first posters. How twisted clever would THAT be?!!....set up a phoney company, call it a stupid name like Medifast, pay aol to do a "news story" about it, but then post really negative comments about how the food taste like cardboard and how they couldn't stand the taste, but then sneak in really POSITIVE comments about your REAL diet meal company. That will get everyone who reads the posts to do a search for the real company and bingo, you have an onslaught of potential customers looking to loose weight and going over to your site but they are now already primed because 1) they were really disapointed to hear that the original product they read about in the "news article" was garbage, but then 2) they heard really a positive testimonial about another product in the comments section and this time they think they are reading a glowing feedback not by an ad, but by a seemingly valid third part (really written by the same ad agency shills) so they redirect to the real sale pitch at the real company's websit. That potential customer arrives there already convinced they have found the GOOD product over the crappy one. They arrive ready to buy.

Oh, but what if the fatty surfer doesn't bother to read the comment section (most people will....look at how it's prominantly place) and they don't get motivated to find the real company, the company can still sell the same crap under the Medifast brand....same stuff they are selling under the New Life Diet brand; it will only cost them a bit extra for different packaging.

Now THAT's a marketing scam! And you thought these marketeers were stupid. heh heh.

Gourmet Movie Theater Opens in Los Angeles (Slashfood)

Dec 24th 2009 10:58AM Not to mention -- DECENT movies. If I want gourmet food, I;ll rearch out a resturant to my liking; if I want to see a movie, I'll search out a theatre with decent sound and image (i.e, good presentation) with reasonablely patrolled rooms so I don't have to be the one telling goons to please stop talking on the cells or to each other. I can go to the eat first THEN go to the theatre. Where is it wrtten that we have to stuff our faces in order to enjoy a movie?

Seems some smart exhibitor could get ahead of this curve by offering, not waiters for the patrons, but strap-on feed bags so each patron can eat nonstop for the entire 2 & half hours.
