Now I Know Why KFC is so Finger Licking Good!
...Taco Bell, who hasnt eaten from there before last December? Of course everyone remembers Outbreak 2, you know the one where spinach, lettuce and Scallions (Green onions) tried to kill us all...No wait, scratch that, that was real! Yes, of course the resturant was in part responsible for a number of E-coli outbreaks throughout the country and basically made us question if it was safe to eat there ever again. If you dont believe me here's proof of what happened to the victims:
Okay, i exaggerate, but you get the point. since then sales have decreased for the resturant anad ebetEven though it has been a couple months, I'm sure it will take a long time for everyone to regain their trust.
Unforunately, i think that wait may just be a bit longer after watching this Friday Morning (And I Hope you're not eating anything before or after watching this. Especially anything from KenTaco Hut!):
The scary thing about this is that they had so many health violations last year and STILL managed to stay open! i dont know how they managed to pull that off, but im glad they shut it down. This not only puts a strain on the restarunt itself, but the fact that this places the entire fast food industry on watch for possible changes. we all know that this is big time trouble for Yum!(The company that owns Taco Bell, KFC, & Pizza Hut), and once something bad happens to Pizza Hut, hell maybe even sooner than that, Theyre screwed. I know i wont be eating from any of these places for a long, LONG Time!
And in terms of competition, You can tell taco bell really didnt think this "Superbowl ad" over (L8R):

Who Doesnt Love All Star Weekends
Any Sports fans out there? Did anyone catch the NBA All-Star weekend? I thought it was pretty impressive. One of the main features that i like about the event is that before the big game, There are skill competitions held the night before. Here's A Recap:
This is my favorite part because while the number of competitors in each competition are small, it showcases the best the league has to offer. But im Wondering, What about the other sports? Sure the MLB has the Home Run Derby During Its All Star game, but what about a showcase for athletes in soccer, Football or even Hockey? they all have their big games, but no showcase events? Do we not have the time, are the skills and techniques used not enough for competitions? Just throwing a thought out there.
One last thing, the most important thing about these weekends isnt about who's better than who (Well, Maybe the All-Star Game), But about having Fun. With That Said...

Happy Valentine's... No, Wait ... Crystaline Water Ice Affected, Show Your Appreciation for Someone You Care About Day!
Hey People whats going on? Well, today is Valentine's Day, but I wouldnt call it anything but lovely. Or Would I? Of course the snow, sleet, and ice would surely be enough to cancel classes but nooooo, i had to drive for a near hour through unplowed roads, school crossings, broken down cars and snow drifts, and only half of this occured in the first 10 Minutes! I Felt like I was in a Televised Pinball machine, the difference being tilt=death!
...On the other hand, the thought of a snow day took me back to much earlier times(namely because I seldom had one in high school, just late openings). Its been a long wait to see this type of weather, seeing how i turned 19 last month in summer. Sure, I was happy for that particular day, but was woondering all month long, where's the snow?. i remember when the first sign of snowfall called for an all out closing, regardless of the amount expected! I'd wake up in the morning and see the reddish-grey sky just before seeing the erased grounds. you didnt need the tree phone call to know what was coming next! forget going back to sleep, it's an extra saturday morning! then going hustling (at least that's how our parents saw making around $50 per person) for money by shoveling driveways. And afterwards we would sit back relax, with some hot chocolate, and get ready for a snowball fight...
I truly am going to miss those days, but at least this Valentines day allowed me to look back on things. So, eventually im hoping for just one more snow day (yeah, i know the circumstances are different, you never know), even though some of these events may not occur in the event of, but it would still be close enough to relive the experience.
One last "thing", guys, if you get someone a cheap gift and expect to play it off, dont, because Tom Dickson invented a foolproof way to spot fakes:
...Happy Valentine's Day!

Who's The Real American Idols?
Hey everyone, this week i notice the truth in the pleasure of hating, and how we like viewing mischief and other peoples misfortune just for our entertainment. But after watching this years auditions for American idol, i ask myself, have they(the producers of the show) finally gone too far?
Now probably anyone who has seen the show can answer the question by saying they did that long ago, but it was clearly evident this year. i mean yeah, we've all seen rejections like this before:
But look closely. usually "some" (2/3) of the judges are conservative towards the rejects. but here they go off laughing and snickering WHILE THEY'RE AUDITIONING! Think about it, would you want to go into a job interview, and while you tell the employer why you think you deserve that job, they abruptly, without saying anything, walk out of their office, and come back minutes later with their lunch? Okay, i bet you re thinking, what the hell has Chris been drinking?...i don't know, i have a strange imagination. Anyways, its upright disrespectful on how they treat "most" of the rejects. when we view the majority of the talent, its usually when they go to Hollywood. when we see auditions we see only 10 people get through, and for the next hour and a half.
However while this might sound bit two-faced, these people know what theyre getting into. come on, this is the sixth season, don't you think 5 years of this wouldn't be enough of a clue? But you have to admit, we love it! sure, we like to see the finalists sing their hearts out to get their recognition, we love to see the auditions in their ridiculous get ups, we love to see them too giving it their all and belting out their favorites. but we also have to realize that they're doing what they feel is their best to get through to the next round and strongly believe that they can become the next idol.
so if in some way Fox gets hold of this, Balance it out a bit will Ya! I feel that the auditions do nothing more than exploit people and their shower singer voices, and the people who are true idol hopefuls get 10% of airtime (during auditions, that is). and when you do that then we can see more of who has a great amount of musical talent (which is what i believe, supposed to be the true purpose of the show) and who tries their best to make it but fall short...
...Just show anyone but this girl, because quite frankly, she's Nuckin' Futs:

Am I Getting Too Old For This Satire?
Hello everyone, and welcome to the people's blog! This is my first blog ever, so PLEASE, feel free to make comments on what i post!
I want to begin by saying that ever since my senior year, in high school, i have become a pop culture fanatic of some sorts. almost every day, i go on youtube (and admit it, you do too) to see the latest person making a fool of themself either in television, film, music, or everyday life. But the only other thing that can take me away from that is the movies. anytime something comes out with a major hype, i find a way to see it opening day. Since classes on the first week back to school got cancelled, I Hit the Theaters, & caught 2 newly released films, the first of which was "Smokin' Aces" W/ Jeremy Piven, Common & Others. Here's a quick clip for those of you who havent seen it yet:
My Review: It's not the movie of the year, but it's a great start to the movie year.
However, this isnt the main topic of this post (I just wanted to tell you that if you like a mix of drama, comedy, suspense, & the plot of several people competing to assassinate one man, then see this film!) The main subject of this post is the second film i watched.
I Figured that since my cousins were finishing up midterms, i'd take them to see something. We ended up going to see Epic Movie, the film that spoofed some of the biggest films in 2006.
I Figured since it was made by the 2/6 writers of scary movie, it" would" be pretty good. That was until we got into the near full theater. Let me put it like this, I thought i was in elementary school again. at least the other half was made up of high school kids. Nothing but ranting & raving, candy flying, cellphone calls, and pointers aimed at other peoples faces. And this was only the 20 minutes we were waiting for the film to start. The film was "meh", i caught the references to such films as The Chronicles of Narnia, & Charlie & The Chocolate Factory, & others, but they felt weak & quickly thought up of (I Got a Laugh or two out of the American Pie Joke), but everyone went wild for it. I dont know what it was, but i ask you, Are filmmakers dumbing down comedy to get a cheap pop?
Going back to Elementary school, i remember spring of 6th grade, when the original Scary Movie was released. upon, seeing the film, i was rolling down the aisle with laughter. so why is it that about 6 years later i didnt find it funny anymore? is it because unlike Scary Movie which was rated R, this was rated pg-13, or was it because the film felt mashed up too soon? i dont know the answer, but i do know that this was only one film, and its gonna take a lot more than one horrible (IMO) film in order to get me off of satirical humor. Thanks for ur time, If youve seen the movie, or even if you take a liking to satirical humor, please leave your thoughts

....oh yeah, and one last laugh before I Leave You - Here's something new to try at the mall (A little bit of language):
