Scamming the Craigslist Scammer

2008-10-15T07:30:00.000-07:00

First off, sorry for the week of no posts. I have been extremily busy, plus THIS should make up for that week.

So some of you have probaly seen some websites where people "scam the scammers" with the common 419 Nigerian Scams. Well here is a scammer I have gotten on craigstlist. These people who scam scammers can usually get them to take pictures with signs. These signs can say anything from famous 4chan quotes to a simple "im gay". Sometimes they will photoshop a very poor attempt at there face on an indian body.

Recently I put up my Diamondback Nitrus BMX bike for sale. Its a very nice bmx bike and I put the priace at $150. I got MANY emails. Most of them scams, each one written in practically the same outline with the same bullshit story. I got about 10 of these. Its incredibal how many people try this. And its stupid. So I decided to mess with one.

I made up a fake adress, but in my town so it wouldnt seem sketchy on my part (as I did make the listing in atlanta, so I gave my "adress" an atlanta area code).

Lets see if I can eventually get a picture of this guy doing something stupid.

Edit: Unforutnetly I dont have the first few original emails but I will explain what happened. I got a VERY crappy email written in broken english from a guy, Yolaine Frazier who wants to buy my bike. Unfortunetly he does not live in Georgia. But his "mover" will come and pick up the bike. Thats..very weird. Why would go way out of your way to buy a bike in another state, its not THAT good of a bike. And second of all, who has a full-time "mover" that goes and picks up stuff for you, and drives it all the way back to you.He says something about sending me a check of some sort, and I just deduct the price of the bike from it, then give his mover the remaining money.

Some how I guess if I did this I would end up losing money. So I sent him a fake adress in Atlanta though. He also says he will give me an extra $100 for my running around to get this item to him. lol.I got really bored and he claimed he sent it. So I stopped replying. Here are the emails about a week after this. I didnt reply to ANY of these except the last few.

September 30th:

Thanks

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

At this point I decided I could maybe get this fucker to waste his time or lose money or something. If he is actually sending packages out and wasting his time with me, I could probally get him to agree to some stupid things.So I Replied:

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
October 15:
Sent by me

Yolaine
I am sorry that I stole your money..(kind of)
But I am in need of this money more than you.
You see, I have testicle cancer, and I have one month to live before myballs just POP.
And that means I die.

I am using the money to live my life. The last month.I figure that I will buy a few prostitutes with some of it, some porn and beerwith the other, maybe even a car.

But, I may not do this if you help me. I need $250 to help pay for my last doctor visit. If you can let me keep an extra $250 ontop of the cost of the bike, I will return the rest.Let me know if you can help, I might have a chance at living, and I will be very thankful.

CEO of Lehman Brothers bank (which is now bankrupt for slow people) got his ass rocked the sunday after the bank went under. Supposidly he was working out in the Lehman Brothers gym when a man pumping some iron in the corner walked up and knocked Dick the fuck out.

Thats what you get for looking like this:

I'm guessing he got knocked out before this photo as well?

Craigslist Scam Email

SELL YOUR CELL PHONE FOR CASH!!!

2008-10-07T05:16:00.000-07:00

http://www.cellforcash.com/

This is the dumbest site I have ever seen. You can sell your old cell phones for cash! Oh boy. First off, I know everybody has an old Nokia brick phone from 20 years ago that you dont need. Lets sell it! You get a whopping $4. Worth it? No.

Lets say for some reason...you "aquire" (stealahem) an AT&T Tilt! So you decide to sell it on Cells For Cash! You get $48 big fucking bucks!

Now lets go to Ebay. An AT&T Tilt goe sfor $350 on Ebay.

You really, REALLY have to be a moron. Now-adays people will do anything to get some quick bucks. If you be smart, hold off a week you can get fucking 6 triple your money on Ebay or Craigslist. Its like selling used games to a Gamestop. Just use Ebay. Time and patience and youll be richer..well...have more money.

Be smart, once again.

Cost To Drive

2008-10-05T10:10:00.000-07:00

I saw this really neat web based application on Consumerist.

You enter in where you are going in your car, how much the average price of gas is per gallon in your area, your car make and model and it will tell you the cost of your trip.

This is really neat if you want to charge people gas money and shit and you tell them hey you owe me $4.25 cents for gas bitch.

Donations

2008-10-04T08:15:00.000-07:00

I put up a donations button. Yea I know I seem like a douchebag now but what do you expect!

Even you can donate even any amount, $1 is enough. We need about $10 so we can purchase a domain name.

Also we have google ads which if you click, will get us money too.

Thanks guys!

Craigslist Decoys: Man Robs Bank

2008-10-03T07:45:00.000-07:00

More Craigslist goodness. As you all know I have some sort of weird fascination with Craigslist. When I saw this news article I was overwhelmed with joy and other types of emotions like that.

A man in Monroe, Washington robbed a Bank of America September 30th at 11am. You know the armored trucks that carry money in and out? The man came to the bank wearing a dust mask; he pepper sprayed the guard carrying the money and took off into Skykomish River. Bystanders said the man used an, inner tube to escape.

That’s right, an inner tube. How the fuck would you manage to float down some small ass rocky river in a fucking inner tube. It’s not like it even has a motor or anything. If you’re going to rob a bank, I don’t think floating down the magical river at 1.5MPH will get you away from the bank you just robbed. But supposedly it did.

Here is the juice of this story. The man used Craigslist to hire 12 people to pose as decoys. He posted an ad offering a job for road work. He told the men to wear a dust mask and the exact same clothing as him. Smart? You bet it. He offered $28.50 for this job, hell I would have done it. Now that’s some Oceans 13 shit right there!

The men who took on the job were told to meet near the bank at 11am. They all stood there with no contractors or any work to be done, they later learned of what happened.

The moral of this story: For the smart ass idea of using decoys, you would think you would have some james bond shit to follow it up with, like a jet pack escape. Instead an inner tube chase down the river.

Weekly: 5 Fast Foods That Will Kill You, Instantly

2008-10-02T08:22:00.001-07:00

Welcome to the first Thyroid Thursday's, 5 Fast Foods that will kill you, instantly. I will be doing this weekly on each thursday.

Lets face it, everyone loves fast food. Its cheap, fast, and easy to get. With the invention of the doller menue, and the invention of $9 combos. What more could an overweight greasy oaf want. I created this list with the top 5 fast food items that will probally give you heart failure by the end of the day.

So sit back, grab a bottle of Liptitor, this will be one hell of a ride. (these are not in order)

Welcome to week 1.

5. The Burger King Quad Stacker

Just look at that. 4 Pieces of meat, 4 strips of bacon, 4 pieces of cheese all on one seasme sead bun. I mean I can understand if somebody is hungry but god damn. I can eat a double but this is crazy. Nothing about that is good for you. Just look at it for christs sake. They even throw on that gross ass sauce on the top. 1000 calories, 68 grams of fat, 1800mg of sodium.

4. McDonald's Delux Breakfast

Believe it or not, one of the most calorie filled heart problem inducing items is on the breakfast menu at your kids favorite place to eat, MiccyDeez! Yaaay! The Delux breakfast is featured here with hashbrowns, eggs, sausage, pancakes, and an english muffin o00o0o! Doesnt seem like much? 1150 calories (with syrup) and 2260mg of sodium. Just dont eat this before a meeting at work!

3. Dunkin Donuts Sausage Omlet & Cheese

I used to work at Dunkin Donuts and the amount of grease that comes off this shit is gross. The boxes of sausage say "Hog Patties". Supposidly these sammiches used to have LOADS of trans fats in them which is why I think Dunkin Donuts has the whole "0 Grams trans fat" bullshit on their ads now. 690 calories (with more then half of them in fat). You can get this on a crossiant and even add bacon!

2. Dunkin Donuts Chocolate Glazed Donuts

More Dunkin Donuts crap. This time its the donuts! Each one of these puppies has 330 calories. And think about it, you dont normall just eat one. Your going to eat 2-3 maybe 4 if your fat enough. Almost 1000 calories.

1. Popeyes Spicey Chicken Strip's

Each spicey strip packs in 250 cals. 3 Is the smallest size you can get, 750 cals. Most people dont stop at 3. Plus the greasy fries and the extremely buttery biscuit. Try to stick with just the chicken.

Bust out the toilet plunger and hold on, your going to be in for a ride after eating this garbage.

The Freedom Ship! Floating City of DREAMS!

2008-10-02T05:21:00.001-07:00

Get a load of this floating gem. Its called the Freedom Ship! Oh boy! The company building this (which is probally a bunch of stoners) has been "working" on this project since they went public in 1999. Even before that. Probally since 1970's, when they took their first hit of acid.

What is the Freedom Ship exactly?

"Envision an ideal place to live or run a business, a friendly, safe and secure community with large areas of open space and extensive entertainment and recreational facilities. Finally, picture this community continually moving around the world. You are beginning to understand the Freedom Ship concept of a massive ocean-going vessel. With a design length of 4,500 feet, a width of 750 feet, and a height of 350 feet, Freedom Ship would be more than 4 times longer than the Queen Mary. The design concepts include a mobile modern city featuring luxurious living, an extensive duty-free international shopping mall, and a full 1.7 million square foot floor set aside for various companies to showcase their products. "

Yea I think back in the 70's when the started this, that acid got to their heads.

Supposidly the primary objective is to create a new floating country..not a huge ship.

This just looks like the biggest stoner project ever created. So far they have made NO action at even building the damn thing. Yea it takes time. But jesus, who the fuck is going to fund this, move there and live there.

The ship is supposed to be in route around the world 70% of the year. 30% its stationary. Thats stupid. When they say you live on this ship...you really live on this bitch. What if you wanted to go visit your relatives or something on land. In the normal countries. This idea is cool, but stupid.

They're already selling rooms and space for your shop. You can get the C-1 15ft by 30ft shopping mall spot for your porn magazine shop for only $220,000! and $600 maintenence each month! What a deal!

Is this a cool idea? I admit it, yes it is very cool. Likely? You know what, I think it IS likely. Just not on this scale. A lot of things would be different. Until then, these guys should stop taking nightly hits of acid, and generating 3D models of the Freedom Ship in C4D while fucked up.

Here are some more acid induced pictures:

5 Tips to Avoid Getting "Molested" By a Man on Craigslist

2008-09-30T08:34:00.000-07:00

So to avoid getting that lonely 32 year old home computer programmer's poor excuse for a male genitle in your back door, you should follow these 5 steps I have listed below to avoid getting either/or;

a) raped
b) raped and/or molested
c) murdered
d) all of the above

Please, use the utmost caution when purchasing from Craigstlist.

1) Is it too good to be true? Then it REALLY is.

Lets say your looking for a brand new car. Well slightly used. Well pretend were kind of poor but not too poor. You find a 2004 Mustang GT with only 5,000 miles. What the fuck. This is so awesome! You open the listing, the person posted in the Atlanta Classifieds , but for some reason is located in Florida..for vacation. So they decided to drive to Florida, and make you come get the car. FUCK that. There is a difference between a "good" deal and one thats "TOO good" to be true. Ask yourself, would I ever sell this for that price? Under ANY circumstances? Fuck no!

2) Broken English? I heard you like motorcycle?

Many times I have read posts for bootleg electronics such as a fake iPod from Korea. In it is the most poor excuse for our language known as English. If the jackass selling you something cant even fucking speak English, what makes you trust him? What if he doesnt understand when you say "I already payed you, wheres my fucking iPod?". Suddenly he speaks French. I remember my dad got an email when he was selling a motorcycle. He was selling it, not buying it. The email said "So I herd you like motorcycle?". Clearly not, my dad was selling the damn thing. That brings me to the next step.

3) The Craiglist email scam, NO BUY

Its really easy to tell if somebody is a real customer or fucking you over. I sold a bike once and got about 5 emails, and each one had the same fucking EXACT way the person would like to purchase my bike. It went something like this:

"I will send the check if you give me your adress, number , etc. My Mover will come and get the bike as I am not in that area"

Except the real email was all in broken English. Your mover? You hire somebody to go and pick up stuff for you? Actually movers, MOVE stuff out of houses. And what a stupid thing. I replied to one of these guys with a fake adress to see what they would do. A week later I got this:

Hello,

Good morning,thanks for your nice patience since all these days.I
was out of the state to take care of my parents in Texas and i got a
lot of problem there due to the bad hurricane.Anyway,i would want you
to kindly confirm both the reciept and clearance of my check
payment.Also tell me the right time for the pickup.

Thanks.

hahahahahahahha
clearly bullshit.

4) No picture? Wait..thats the same picture from amazon.com..

If they dont have a picture of what theyre selling, chances are...they dont even have the god damn item to begin with. The "my camera" is broken excuse is BAD. Its 2008, everyones cell phones has a camera. Also watch out for people who just google a picture of an xbox.

5) Don't buy anything with the codeword "jehova witness"

Its probally a 5 year old little girl.

As you can see its...really not that hard to get scammed. Its blaintly obvious your getting scammed and it would take a real dumbass to think they're getting a xbox 360 for $10 or selling their home fitness bike for $15000 to a man who lives 5 countries away from you.

Be smart people...be smart.

Now Selling, 5 year old child, brand new, only on craigslist

2008-09-29T10:13:00.001-07:00

Ah can you smell that? The fresh early morning smell of a 5 year old Chinese girl for only $10 in the Metro Atlanta area. Oh, for those of you who cant smell it, that would be www.craigslist.com. The greatest invention ever (besides porn). It's just like Ebay, except you can trade foreign children in YOUR area!

I'll admit it, Craigslist is scary as fuck. It's chop full of scams and man rape waiting to happen. But, you can also get some GREAT deals. You just have to be smart, and careful of who and what you buy from.

Let me share a story with you children. Pull up a chair and listen as uncle SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP tells you a store.

I too once was addicted to Craigstlist. I was looking for a desktop (The exact one im on now) because I wanted one in my room. I wanted it to be inexpensive, decent, and close by. It took a few days, but eventually I found the perfect Compaq, only about 6 years old and could run XP fine. I'll take it. I later found it, this guy was only 2 miles from my house...fuck 2 miles..he lived down the fucking street.

So after a few emails are exchanged and im sure im not going to get fucked in the ass, I went over to pick it up. We talked on the phone the same day and he told me to drop by. I go into the neighborhood and its a middle class hood. Decent houses, families out walking the dogs and kids. I figure, hey, he must be a family man! or...prey on all the other peoples kids.

Of course his house is the ONE fucking house thats creepy as hell. All the blinds are shut and the garage is closed. I ring the doorbell and nothing, all the sudden behind me "CHRIS?!". Its that fucker! We exchanged some words he takes me inside and asks if I need to see the computer running. "FUCK NO NIGGA! GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE AS FAST AS POSSIBLE!" is what I thought in my head. I noticed something though. As I was talking to him, he was staring into my eyes. And I mean just god damn GAZING into them like I was his long lost lover. I will admit, im a pretty manly guy (heehehehehe) and this scared me. I got the fuck out of there with my computer.

I expected to later find at home a folder full of child porn. Thank god I didnt.

With that being said, you have to be safe on Craigslist. I will post a follow up to this, with some tips about how to be safe, and get some PHAT fucking deals.

Toshiba Qosmio G55-Q802

2008-09-29T06:42:00.000-07:00

In todays tech world there are so many laptops, and I mean so many, its hard to know which one to choose or which has the most up to date and best technology. What factors can you look for today in a faster laptop? I mean we already have DSL so speed isnt a factor, pretty much all laptops have a fast processor, good graphics card, nice sound and all that jazz. What possibly more could ANYONE do to get a faster lap top or something worth 5 months of my paycheck. It looks like now, they resort to user functionality. Or how lazy can I be, while still using a laptop.

That is where the Toshiba Qosimo G55-Q802 comes into play. It has all that jazz. A huge crystal clear and sharp 18.4 inch screen, Nvidia GeForce 9600M GT, Dual 250GB hard drives, 4gB DDR2 Ram, 2GHz Core 2 Duo P7350 processor, and even a super sexy sounding sound system. I mean yea, that sounds like a cool laptop. But really..there are a million like it. And for $1600?

Ah, but I fooled you. It does have SOME neat things. It will convert your regular standard DVD's, to HD so you can watch them in..well HD on your laptop. Not bad, thats pretty neat. It also has a very sleek and sexy look. The keyboard is HUGE with a dedicated numerical keypad.

The computer also uses a new cell processor, the same kind used in the Playstation 3. This is where this gets interesting. (or should) The Quad Core HD Processor is supposed to speed up the video transcoding process way faster. So people who edit home movies or the kid who makes skateboard montages should be able to compile them at almost double the speed of a regular processor. I read from some websites they tested this, and it was only about a minute and a half longer. Nice lie Toshiba.

So since that whole processor video codec bullshit got layed out on its ass, it does have something to make up for it. That is Gesture Control. Using the integrated web cam, you can use different hand motions to start, stop, pause, play a movie. You can make a palm to stop or play the movie, click your thumb like a pen to select objects on screen, and use your fist and move it around to act as the mouse. Also from other websites who tested it, they say its still kind of buggy and the room needs to be well lit to use the feature.

So what other mediocre technologies does this laptop have? Video indexing. It picks out faces from scenes in movies, so you can look through a catalog of faces, and start a movie from scenes with that face. What the fuck is the point of that. Thats just really pointless. If I used that feature in a Rocky movie I would be directed to every god damn scene.

This laptop is lame. I give it one thing, it looks sexy as fuck. The Gesture Control is neat, but for todays technology world and with the standards we have, it could be cooler. Video Indexing, not that advanced and not really helpful. The oh so amazing cell processor fails as well.

What does this laptop bring? Sexy looks, pretty good (but not amazing like stated by Toshiba) video editing and compiling, great video playback...and oh you get Windows Vista! (thats a joke)

Save your money, you can get a better laptop for around the same price. (mmm but it is really glossy...oh! sorry.)

So what the fuck is Betel Nut exactly?

2008-09-27T14:46:00.000-07:00

Don't ask me how I came across this shit. Just be thankful.

Before I start this blog, I would like to advise you all I have in the past 6 months became an avid Dipper. Yes dip, not chew but dip. The shit in the cans that you pinch and put between your teeth and gums. So this is what caused me to become interested in this Betal Nuts bullshit.

Now, we begin. Is it a drug? I'm not sure! I couldn't find anything about it being illegal here in the USA but I dont know of anywhere that sells it. For the most part you have to order it online from other countries and I dont know if they would rip it open and send the FBI after you if you ordered 5 kilos of it.

Well, what exactly IS Betal Nuts? Its something a bunch of Asians chew, and supposedly it gives you a little boost. Kind of like a natural stimulant with a "high" type of feeling. There are 2 elements to this stimulant, first is the Areca Nut, which is wrapped in Betal leaf. Its rolled up and chewed by the user, then put in the side of your cheek like American Chew. It should have a peppermint kind of taste.

The real cool thing about this, is fucking asian prostitutes sell it! IM FOR REAL, CHECK IT OUT!

This is a marketing technique to bring in male customers. The girls wear nothing but bras and skimpy panties and sell ciggs, betal nuts, and probally blow jobs from within this glass storefront.

There is a lot of controversity. Some people call it a "legal" drug. The government does have lots of issues with it, mainly in Taipei.

This crop is supposedly Taiwan's #2 largest crop next to rice. I never knew this, interesting!

"Chewing addictive betel nuts, the seed of the betel palm, increases the risk of mouth cancer, according to the Department of Health. Officials are encouraging farmers to plant alternatives to the US$359 million annual crop, urging about 1.6 million users to quit."

So yes, mouth cancer can be a downer of this. But jesus look at the girls who sell it.

I want to get my hands on this shit!

Starbucking..Every Single God Damn One.

2008-09-27T14:25:00.000-07:00

So I caught this movie on demand today with my girlfriend and I just HAD to blog about it. The movie is called "Starbucking" and its about this one mans journey across the world, to visit every single Starbucks store EVER.

I know a lot of you might be like, who the fuck would pay $4.99 on demand to watch such a stupid documentary (besides me)..well. Just watch it. It's good, or hell you can even pirate it. Try looking for a torrent.

The mans name is Winter. Yes thats right, Winter. And thats it. He legally changed his name to Winter. THATS IT FOLKS. He doesnt have a last name for first name or middle name. His full name is Winter.

The movie is like an other documentary and just follows him around to each state and country as he visits as many Starbucks as he can. At each one he consumes 4oz of coffee or a shot of expresso. He sets a limit in the movie for visintg 29 Starbucks in one day. On cup 27 he looks likes he just smoked a phat ass bowl of crack.

Imagine that, drinking so much of that caffeine is like taking speed or snorting some coke. In the movie they show how a college Philosophy class is looking at Winter and trying to figure out his motives. Some of them believe he's bi-polar, narcoleptic, or just flat our crazy. You can see in the movie something is wrong with him. He's always jittery and in a hurry, running in and out of each Starbucks...I mean I wouldn't blame him, for the past 7-10 years hes being doing this.

How I "Scammed" Office Depot for $25

2008-09-26T07:54:00.000-07:00

I sent out a slew of emails to companies like Mc Donalds, Best Buy, Office Depot, Office Max, making up fake stories of in-store experience's I supposidly had. I let the companies know I was extremely offended and do not wish to shop at their store again. Well like most of you know, some companies hate to lose a customer and some dont give a rats ass. Out of all about 5 or 6 emails I sent out, this is the only one I received some compensation for.

So here is how I got a free $25 gift card from Office Depot.

Heres the email I sent:

"Hello.
I am contacting you to rely on my recent visit to an Office Depot Store in Roswell, GA.

I went to the store on a monday afternoon after work to pick up a DVD Drive for my computer. While browsing I was approached by an employe asking if I needed assistance.I said yes and I was helped to decide on a DVD Drive for my computer.

The only problem, the one I wanted was the last one in stock on the floor at the time. The box of this one was broken. Thinking there might be something wrong with the DVD Drive, I asked the employe if he could look in the back of thestore for another box.

The employe rudly declined stating that "there is nothing wrong with the damn drive, its just the box."I was extremely offended by this and stormed out of the store not purchasing anything.

I will not be returning to that Office Depot OR ANY Office Depot ever, unless something changes.
I have never experienced something like that in my life.
Thought I should let you know.
Thanks.
Chris L. "

and this is what I got back, a few days later.

"Dear Chris L.:
Thank you for taking the time to send us your email. We are truly sorry about the poor service you received from our store located in Roswell, GA.

What you describe is completely unacceptable to us and I regret having disappointed you. Our company strives to provide fast, friendly service through our network of polite, professional and knowledgeable representatives. Your comments indicate that this is not the level of service you received and for that I sincerely apologize.

Poor customer service is not acceptable and rudeness is never tolerated. You can be assured that I will follow up to ensure that this matter is reviewed with the associate(s) in question as we certainly do not want it to happen again.

If possible, please could you provide the name of the associate or a full description of the person, so that we are able to share feedback with the Store Manager, Kevin Epperson. We do take these matters very seriously.

Although, I cannot change what has happened, I would like to make up for it at least in a small way. In that regard, I would like to personally send you an Office Depot Merchandise Card valued at $25. Please could you provide your mailing address, so that I can send you the card.

I do hope that you will accept the card as a gesture of goodwill along with my apologizes and compliments. I look forward to your feedback.
Sincerely,

Kamala Shirley

Oh My! $25?! I can't...but I can.

If anybody is wondering what happened next, I claimed I didn't remember the name of the employee and I didn't want anyone getting fired over this.

So lets analyze,

Was I really verbally assaulted?

No.

Did I really stop by Office Depot after work?

No.

Do I even HAVE a job?

No.

Do I have $25 for sending an email that took 5 minutes to write?

Yes!

I will edit in some pictures later of the card and the letter I got.

Clay is Gay! (hehe get it?!)

2008-09-25T08:25:00.000-07:00

He admitted it. No biggy! We all knew this American Idol pop star was giving rim jobs to big Rubes behind stage.

But one questions..dont you have to stick your penis in a girl to make a baby?
Dont gay people stick their penis's in...guys?

Weird..

The "Goog" Phone by Google. Awesome.

2008-09-25T05:58:00.000-07:00

So its only about time that some other large corperate company releases there own cell phone. The iPhone for example by Apple. (I know its fairly old but still..)

The Gphone (dubbed Tmobile G-1) is being released by..well Tmobile. When I heard the phone was manufactured by HTC I got excited. HTC has some pretty badass phones, and I love my phone from HTC (at&t tilt).

At first I heard rumors of the phone having a monthly data limit. What the fuck? 1GB a month? That pissed a ton of people off. Why? Because thats fucking stupid. You buy an unlimited monthly data plan, for unlimited data. What does this seem like? A scheme to get more money once everybody goes over the monthly limit? Well of course they took this concept off. Saved a lot of customers there dickwads.

Lets take a look at some concept designs, then the actual phone:

Concepts:

mm okay okay, nice google nice!

Ohhhhh yea! GOOGLE! GOOGLE! GOOGLE.COM!

DAYUUM!

and, the actual phone:

oh... (is that a fucking sidekick?)

Well..I guess they call them concept designs for a reason.

Now lets take a look at the features of this phone (or what they tell us now).

It is a smartphone, one of the first from Tmobile I think. It will also run googles mobile device smartphone software, Android. Ahh Android. Haven't really seen it applied to well..anything. Its supposed to mimick Linux but more user friendly. I saw some screens of it running on the cell phone and it looks a lot like the Mac OS. How stable is Android? Who knows. But lets give them a shot.

Key features:

+Touch Screen

+Slide out QWERTY keyboard

+User friendly web browser

+3MP Camera

+Customazible Home Screen (well..duh)

+Easy access to google applications(gmail,youtube, google talk,etc) *

+1GB memory card for music, photos, etc

+3G network (a must for all of todays smartphones)

+WifI

+Download Androids Applications

So..as far as it seems, these are very basic options and features seen in pretty much every single smartphone ALREADY on the market. Whats the big catch with this? I think they are trying to grab you at the whol Android OS and "Google Apps Implementation". Is that all? Thats it...wow. This shit fucking sucks. It looks just like a god damn sidekick too.

* Ah yey. Google/Android Apps. So inovative google! We have never seen this before. Oh wait...iPhone anybody? This is an EXACT spin-off of the iPhone Apps. Users will be able to make and download apps for Android (which might be..pretty hard to develope at this tage) and the oh so awesome implemented google apps. (because you cant check your fucking gmail on any other phone.)

So what does this shit have that is so SPECIAL? Absolutely fucking NOTHING. The big attraction is that its made by Google! OMG! GOOGLE! YAAAY!

Whats next? Phones from Yahoo? Phones from AskJeeves? A fucking Redtube phone?

But hey, the price isnt too bad. Well...the suggested price.

Set to release around October 22, 2008. The T-Mobile states "at prices, as low as , $179.99 with 2 year contract." So hey! If you arn't already signed up for T-Mobiles shitty service, cancel your plan with AT&T because this phone is going to be so awesome!

Rape Haikus..mmm just in my ally

2008-09-24T11:27:00.001-07:00

I found this amazing website with a bunch of haiku(s? damn japanese) relating to the phenomenon known as, rape.

I don't think they are still taking submissions, I tried to send one and it STILL has nott shown up.

Here are a few I thought were pretty awesome:

penis in the ass
dicks are everywhere now
you are soso fucked

Provocative dress
Is what caused this big mess
And your new baby

Market Meltdown? What is this shit..

2008-09-24T08:14:00.000-07:00

Clearly anybody who reads the news or watches it, or even reads a nice old fashined newspaper (unlikely but possible), you will see the bullshit about the big Wall Street fuck over ol' big' market meltdown 08' ol' big buy this bank sell that ol' havin' ol' your stocks are fucked, stuff.

First off, I realize im young. I dont really have to worry about money too much. That doesnt stop me from having an opinion about this jabberwoky.

Secondly, who the fuck cares.

I took the time and liberty to construct a Pie Chart illustrating the percentages of how much I "give a fuck" about the Wallstreet fuck over. Please observe this graph and take notes:

This isnt the Great Ass Mother Fucking Depression or some shit. Suck it up and dont quit your day job (even if it is baking donuts). Does it really affect you all? If you dont work for some big ass bank im pretty sure your fine. Hell, my dads still rakin' in the benjies and having time to sit back and down a couple beers (or 10).

So does this really affect everyone? Is it something EVERYONE should be worried about? Mmmm, Nope! Like I said, the only people who will end up sleeping in tent city are the Lehman Bro's (super mario?) employees and..people who cant keep a stable job and manage their god damn money.

Really folks, dont flip out. Keep working hard, keep your job, dont sleep with the boss'es wife, and your good to go!

So good! Fuck Wallstreet! I dont need to trade fucking stocks! Fuck chance! Get a real job and earn your money, dont gamble with that shit. I hope Wallstreet turns into...uh...um...Shitstreet! Yea. Thats right!
