Having not slept for 62 hours now, I’m too lazy to even right write anything remotely descriptive, other than linking you to the website.

Really though, is there no end of reality TV shows?

Somehow, every time I see this ad, I am reminded of the show Farmer Wants a Wife when where one of the contestants turned out to be a porn model, just like Sam Brodie on Gladiator fessed up to modeling on a gay porn website.

We are looking for the following:

Intellectual “Geeks” who are socially challenged when it comes to women but think they could have a go at turning a beauty into a scholar. (If you’re a shy geek into comic books, star wars, RPGs, D&D, computers, on-line gaming, chess, or physics, etc, etc., we want you!)

Beautiful, sexy, social-savvy women who can turn a geek into a stud.

Beauties and Geeks willing to work together and compete for the opportunity to win a substantial prize!! If you meet one or more of these qualifications let us know.

*gag* *pukes from stereotyping*

And check out the legal waffle in the audition forms – they basically ask you to sign away all your rights/dignity and ask you invasive questions (which will probably be made know publicised for all to see).

Big Brother sucks. So you think you can dance was mildly amusing though. Gretel Killeen is a scary bitch.

I’m curious – do people who subscribe via RSS read this in plaintext, or is the formatting retained? Things make much more sense whith styles/formatting visible.

Hmmm… that’s mildly annoying. A back end upgrade had unexpected side effects, breaking the custom modified theme I was using for the man website (Blog excluded) due to the way it parses get_categories(), so now it looks mingered.

Well more mingered than it was previously anyway. A patch will be out in a few days, so I hear.

Eh, what do you know – some how, this site gets enough visits per month to use over 1.25GB+ bandwidth per month.Yay for search engines!

…because none of these items are worthy of individual posts

1. Apparently Steve Jobs got a liver transplant two months ago for his “hormonal imbalance.” Perhaps it would be good for Apple if he retired from the company. New directions, innovations, marketing strategies? I will rant more about why I hate Apple as a company later…
2. http://blogs.news.com.au/bossy/index.php/news/comments/im_a_clean_freak_and_my_boyfriend_is_doing_something_dirty/ is mildly amusing.
3. And Swine Flu has claimed its 2nd victim, a man in Victoria. I have a theory that by not catching the bus for a year (and thus being cramped among 40 Year 7s busy expelling the contents of their nostrils over everyone), I shall extend my life span by 5 years. So the more free lifts I can mooch off people, the better off I will be… hmm…
4. The Greens are whinging again – by their logic, the raised dam levels and relaxed water restrictions means that we can stop construction on the desalination plant, dismantle it and sell the would be useless plant machinery off to China or something. Because a weeks worth of rain and a few percent rise in dam levels means we will never have a drought in Australia again. Right.
5. Lindsay Lohans starring in a new reality TV show, where people get given a second chance. Yeh, she’ll be the perfect host for that show, being able to relate and all, given that her entire existence is possible due to a small group of suckers that give her too much leeway.
6. They’re about to start fluoridating water in Geelong, Victoria, and people are outraged at the poison the government is injecting into their water supply. DoHS minister Lisa Neville has been receiving death threats, bottles left on her doorstep with the message “We’re going to kill you, Bitch” and anti-fluoridation propaganda websites are popping up everywhere. What’s the big deal? Fluoride is added to water supplies in many countries around the world, approved by the WHO, reduces teeth decay, it gets shoved in your mouth at the dentist and it’s in toothpaste. Down in Tasmania, they have a day dedicated to celebrating the anniversary of water Fluoridation, for the health improvements it’s brought to the population there.

8. From “Dating, It’s Complicated #5″:

My sophomore year of high school I was dating my boyfriend for a few months. One day I told him I had something to show him in my room upstairs. This was the first time my boyfriend was allowed into my room; we were alone together. He goes straight to my computer and tells me I need more RAM.

OMG. KFC is ditching the use of palm oil and switching to a canola-sunflower blend.

Ripped shamelessly from the Sydney Morning Herald’s website:

The following March, Yum! told the Herald it had been using palm oil “for many years” and had no intention of converting to a healthier cooking oil, despite a directive by the then assistant health minister, Christopher Pyne, that the fast food industry draw up plans to phase out ingredients such as palm oil and report back in six months.

Yesterday, Yum!’s managing director, Albert Baladi said any delay in changing to a healthier oil was due to difficulty in overcoming a number of problems.

“The most important thing we had to do was ensure continuous supply [of an alternative oil], then that the oil delivered the same taste our customers expected. These are not things you can turn on or off with a switch,” he said.

Along with the switch to a canola-sunflower blend for cooking, KFC has now also made a commitment to reduce the salt content in its food across the board by 10 per cent.

The company will reportedly spend $35 million introducing the menu changes, including a $10 million campaign to market the new grilled chicken products.

Fair enough, I guess, but if the chicken taste any different 3 months from now, I will (as with other KFC lovers across the nation) have an immediate hernia. I want the security of knowing that when I rip into a piece of KFC chicken, that I’m swallowing oily, unhealthy, artery clogging fatty food. :@

Guess that’s just me though, as healthy eating junkies are celebrating at the news, just like they did when Mars Confectionery reduced the size of all of their products (without a corresponding reduction in price) by 11% a few weeks ago, hence the retarded 42.5gm sized packs of M&M’s.

Oh dear.

The animal huggers (is that the right term?) are all up in arms again because Barack Obama killed a fly that was pestering him during a TV interview.

Boo freaking hoo.

PETA went to all the trouble of mailing Obama a “Katcha Bug Humane Bug Catcher” humane fly catching trap and released a public statement – “We support compassion even for the most curious, smallest and least sympathetic animals. We believe that people, where they can be compassionate, should be, for all animals.”

Now hold on a sec – Obama just swatted a fly that was trying to eat his head while he was on TV. It’s not like he sprouted horns out of his head and started performing satanic fly sacrificial rituals or something. Which brings us to an interesting point. I should therefore be a sinner rotting in hell (according to PETA anyway), due to the thousands of ants, spiders, flies, cockroaches etc etc I’ve killed in my life. And pest control operators are all poltergeists, Woolworths profits from the sale of pesticides are donated to Lucifer corp, and Mortein is the mecca of evil.

Like*, GET OVER IT PETA!

There’s millions of your own species living in poverty every day under the rule of dictators, thousands fleeing war zones and all you care about are flies. For f*** sake, if you’re gonna fawn over animals, make it a decent cause at least (eg bile bears, caged chicken farming, whaling and so on…).

*adds 5c coin to the ‘like’ jar.
