And
now for the What the #@?*
Moment of the Week
November 11th 04: Britney Spears has released a "Greatest hits" album. Are you giving up already Britney? Is this the greatest you can do? Four albums? Just because you add few songs to an existing album, doesn't make it new. Hey, Britney, Not to mention, Kevin Federline??? October 14th 04: Lego has now changed its Star Wars® line of lego people from yellow color face and hands to flesh color face and hands. So instead of being non-racial, now the characters are undeniably caucasion (except for Lando, who I think should still be yellow as well). Not to mention years of tradition flushed down the toilet. Hey Lego, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! August 11th 04: Movie theatres are now putting television commercials on the front of movie trailers. Not just one or two but five to seven commercials, like the new Coke and C2 commercials. Also there are commercials for Mazda, AquaVelvet, and CloseUp (that really annoying toothpaste that basically says if you're going to have sex, have sex after you brush with CloseUp). Now I can understand the two commercials for MovieFone and Pirating Movies Causes Impotency but the other five... no. The reason we go to movies is so that we don't have to deal with commercials. Thats one of the benefits of the movie theatre. But now we have to see these crappy commercials and we can't even change the channel? Hey Movie Distributors and Theatres, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! May 25th 04: Several American troops are being court martialed for Sexually Abusing Iraqi prisoners of war. Now yes we are at war with Iraq and there are atrocities of war that will happen, but sexually harassing the enemy? That's an all time low. No wonder there is a decline in enlistment in the military these days, not only is there the chance of being killed, but now you might be forced to take nasty H.R. Giger like photos of the enemy by your fellow soldiers. Hey sickos, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! March 3rd 04: President Bush is pushing to outlaw gay and lesbian marriages in America. The Vice President, Dick Cheney supports the President's idea to do this, however Mr. Cheney's own daughter is a self declared lesbian and served on his campaign. So, Dick, you support legislature that prevents your own daughter from being able to marry the woman she loves? Hey Dick, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! February 25th 04: Redhat Linux has always been a free operating system based on the UNIX operating system which has also always been available for free on the web. Apparently free is not bringing in enough money, so Redhat is now going to charge for any updates it brings out. Also that specific operating system will no longer be available for free. So basically Redhat, you've taken a free operating system changed it a little, done your penance offering it for free and now it is time to capitolize on it. Hey Jackasses, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! February 17th 04: HBO is selling the next season of Sex and the City on DVD in two parts, both of which will retail for around $45.00 to $50.00. American. The first part will contain 12 episodes out of 20 episodes. The other seasons varied in number of episodes but season 2, 3 and 4 each had 18 episodes. So why, if season six has 2 more episodes than season 2, 3 or 4 should it be split into two parts? Because HBO knows the popularity and demand of the series and therefore knows it can get more money out of those addicted to the series by selling in two parts and not even two equal parts at that. So HBO, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! February 4th 04: CompUSA® charge you a restocking fee for anything that you need to return if it's open. Broken stuff, stuff that is the wrong color or stuff that is just plain unsuitable, you get charged a 15% restocking fee. This fee is pure profit for the company. That sucks. I'm paying you to return something because it is broken. Hey CompUSA®, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! January 30th 04: Toys 'R' Us® is selling an exclusive 20th Anniversary Edition Optimus Prime Transformer®. Advertised to be on sale in January 2004. Two days from now it will be February 2004 and there is still no 20th Anniversary Edition Optimus Prime Transformer®. Hey Toys 'R' Us®, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! Seriously November 19th 03: A lot of schools and areas have signs that say "Do Not Walk on the Grass". If grass is not meant to be walked on, picnicked on, jamesed on, then what the hell is grass for. It's not like it's a garden. Hey people with "do not walk on the grass" signs, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! November 19th 03: There was no What the #@?* Moment last week. Hey Mcbean.net, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! November 5th 03: Google® has decided to erase me from their search engine. I used to be able to be found in a Google® seach, but now, not so much. No notice if I offended Google®, no notice that my content was inappropriate or slanderous. Just, no more Mcbean.net. Hey Google®, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! October 31st 03: It's raining. It's frickin' Halloween. Hey rain, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! October 29th: Cartoon Network is advertising for the Ellen Degeneres talkshow on the Oxygen Network. It doesn't matter if Turner owns the Oxygen Network (which I believe he does not) because even if he did, why would kids want to watch the Ellen Degeneres show. Kids want to watch Scooby Doo and Japanese anime toned down for network cable viewing, not lesbians schmoozing with stars of the screen and radio, that comes much later and on a completely different venue. Besides everyone knows that kids of Cartoon Network are Oprah Fans. Hey Cartoon Network, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! ! October 22th: VH1 decided with their extreme success of "I Love The 80's" that they would bring out another show called "I Love The 80's Strikes Back" with new interviews and segments. One of their new segments is "Donal Logue's Unfinished Thoughts on...". Why VH1 thought this might be a good idea beyond me. If people want to hear the random ramblings of and idiot that's what C-Span is for. Granted I don't have a nationally syndicated television show but even I can think of funnier things to say than Donal Logue. So why the hell wasn't I chosen to comment on the show? Hey VH1 and Donal Logue, WHAT THE #@?* ! ! !
