The Bryan Brothers Really Need to Stop their Chest Bashing Gayness Celebration

Rick Yuen — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 05:21:16 +0000

Whatever happened to the high-5 after a victorious point? Or how about the more trendy fist-bash that people are doing after a win? I don’t really care how good the Bryan brothers are in doubles tennis but someone should really tell them that this gayness needs to be stopped. It’s quite gay [...]

What a horrible start to the stock market for 2008!. People are talking about slow downs and the dreaded “R” word……RECESSION! I don’t know that much about the markets but it’s scary to think that fear from rumours are driving the market this much. It’s really true that the rich do get [...]

The Apple Doesn’t Fall Far from the Tree: Britney Spears Infects Sis with Trailer-Park Disease

Rick Yuen — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 06:30:51 +0000

Talk about the apple not falling far from the tree: Britney Spears’ 16 year old sister, Jamie Lynn Spears, is pregnant! I may sound mean for saying this but in my opinion, both sisters are trash! Regardless of how much money they have, you can take the girl out of the trash but you can’t [...]

NBC Pulls the Plug on Bionic Woman

Rick Yuen — Mon, 17 Dec 2007 15:21:04 +0000

NBC was once the premiere network channel but they have been suffering in ratings to the other networks, including Fox which everyone used to mock. NBC is now the whipping-boy of network television. When you are on top, you still need to innovate and NBC did not do that. At least they [...]

Worst Review Ever Witnessed in the Known Universe

Rick Yuen — Sun, 09 Dec 2007 05:39:01 +0000

Oh boy does she ever suck at reviews. If she wanted to be making money, she’d be in movies of the adult persuasion instead of giving boring movie reviews. The only thing she has going for her is her “assets” but she’s not playing it real. _uacct = "UA-1742773-1"; urchinTracker(); If you enjoyed [...]

Terminator 4 Just Got Interesting

Rick Yuen — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 05:42:55 +0000

Terminator 1 was a very good movie. Terminator 2 was a very revolutionary movie, the “Matrix” of its time. However, Terminator 3 was below average, at best. When I heard a while back that they were going to make a Terminator 4 and without the presense of Governator Schwarzenegger, I cringed at [...]

The mother of all phones and worthy of the best phone on the market, behold, the Nokia N95 8GB! I’ll take one any day over the overhyped and underperforming Apple iPhone. No doubt that the iPhone is revoluntionary but it isn’t an end-all of cell phones. Talk about temptation to be working [...]
