Stories that Make Me Not want to Watch the News

So Coca-Cola Put out the Wrong Can Too Early. Who the "F" Cares?

julie@jabsfreelanceworld.com (Julie, Owner) — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 07:10:00 +0000

Okay, I have not posted on this blog for like a freaking year. I originally was going to put this on my Caught My Eye blog but then I decided this is probably one of the stupidest stories I have ever heard-or in this case the stupidest story I have ever read. If I had seen a video of this, this would be a story that would make me not want to watch the news.

I don't mean any disrespect but seriously, who gives a crap? So what if Coke decided to put out a holiday can for regular Coke instead of for the diet Coke. I have to admit, my issue is that lately I've purchased more beer than soda. Still, if American is so freaking illiterate that they can't distinguish between a regular Coke and a diet Coke can then those individuals have problems.

What really got me going about this absurdly ridiculous story is that people are Tweeting about how blasphemous it is that the Coca-Cola company is supposedly trying to mess with people's heads. This is not only a story that make me not want to watch (or read) the news but it makes me what to swear. I'm serious I just want to say right now who the "F" cares??!!!

This is truly the number-one most stupidest story that I so far have ever seen reported online, offline, or elsewhere! Give me a freaking break. On the other hand, I should say, the only thing I can learn from this is how business owners can make one small, teeny, tiny, minute, fractional, or insignificant error that can hurt their sales.

Other than that, this is the stupidest I have ever heard yet-ever in my lifetime! No wonder the "Dumbing Down of America" concept is not far from reality!!

Cash for Clunkers Gone Bonkers!

I guess the Cash for Clunkers had gone bonkers already. To be fair I am sticking up for Obama in that I don't make fun of the way he talks. Some newscasters are just downright cruel for that. But as refined and as good-looking as this man is...I am not sure I agree with all of his decisions.

I should be careful I suppose not to knock a program when it's going down. I suppose I am reflecting all the negative criticism I have received lately when I simply say, "The Cash for Clunkers program has gone bonkers!"

Oh, I said that already.

So Obama Said Wee-Weed Up? Who Cares?

julie@jabsfreelanceworld.com (Julie, Owner) — Fri, 21 Aug 2009 17:25:00 +0000

So Obama said Wee-Weed Up? Who cares? Now, don't get me wrong I am not for every decision this new president makes but seriously. I know when to call 'em. I know when to say that the media has just gone too far.

It's like when the media was nit-picking at Britney Spears every chance they could awhile ago. Do they want Obama to have a meltdown? How can an institution such as the radio rip on someone and still call themselves "unbiased?"

Well then again I had first heard this news on a talk show...but yet...the talk show did play an actual news clipping.

Seriously though...get back to the issues at hand! It's like the news media has nothing to do when Washington is on Vacation.

My Definition of Wee-Weed Up: Either it's just a joke that means nothing, or it is a statement that means "F-d" Up? Perhaps. Who knows, who cares.

Reverse Discrimination Makes me Puke!

julie@jabsfreelanceworld.com (Julie, Owner) — Sat, 21 Feb 2009 01:18:00 +0000

When I hear stories about "reverse" discrimination it makes me puke! I hear about this on the news all the time and I get so sick of it really. I mean...I hear instances of this on the news, multiplied by being called "white trash" by an ex boyfriend's cousin and hearing that qualified white people are not getting into college just because they are white?

Whey I hear all this together...what am I?? One angry white person, that's what!

One angry white person! And I have every right to be. Discrimination makes me puke-even it is against white people. I am actually tired of it, as I always tried to have respect for anyone regardless of color, race, creed, religion, and so on. So why should I be punished?

I try to respect everyone (except of course if they truly piss me off, like I am right now.)

Obama' Smokes, so What?

julie@jabsfreelanceworld.com (Julie, Owner) — Mon, 08 Dec 2008 17:52:00 +0000

Oh my! Obama smokes? So What?

Okay, I myself cannot stand cigarettes. I think they are dirty and disgusting. They smell bad and taste bad (Okay, you are asking how do I know well it's none of your business.. I just know what I know and leave it at that), but I think there are worse problems in our country than Obama smoking.

Besides, I am not an Obama fan, so I can be a smart *ss and say that his smoking may not be the worst problem he has. But, well...that is a little besides the point. On the other hand, Obama does feel accountable, and says he plans to kick the habit while he is in the White House.

So, perhaps he will just smoke in his room then. Who knows?

The Economy is Bad I Heard-Well Know Sh*T!

julie@jabsfreelanceworld.com (Julie, Owner) — Mon, 01 Dec 2008 23:46:00 +0000

Okay, enough is enough already. Today I was listening to the radio and what do I hear? The economy is bad. My first reaction was well know Sh*T! Forgive me I am extremely human at times, but I confess that was my first reaction okay?

The E-CON-O-MY sucks! I think there is not one person in the whole entire world who has not saw or heard that report in the past year or so. This story is getting as old as the Britney Spear saga that was all last year.

What is the U.S. going to do about it? Keeping reporting that the Dow Jones is down another Ga-Zillion points. Okay I get it! We are headed for a Great Depression, so are we going to sit and worry about it or is something going to be done about it?

I am not exactly democrat but I must confess one thing. They are good for two things-the economy and ending unnecessary wars. Therefore, since we are stuck with Obama I just hope he does us justice.

And by the way the only reason I say that about Obama is I don't agree with all of his moral decisions, or the fact that he seems a little unclear about some moral choices....

(Off topic...I don't mind starting a flame war on my own blog by telling you outright I am not for abortion or same sex marriage. Sorry people. Whatever you do behind closed doors is your life, but there has to be a moral line drawn somewhere. I am just not 100% sure, but as far as the research I did during the primary elections I know that he was leaning towards for both.)

...Anyway...The point is...

Stimulous-shimulous. Whose idea was that? Dishing out money America doesn't even have to try to help a country who spends too much money anyway.

There has to be a real solution besides just putting a temporary band-aid on the solution. This economy is bad and I do hope something is done about it. Hey, it's a struggle to make an honest living. I was like...

What's the lesser of two evils? In any bad economy you can always make money writing adult content or tending bar. I don't really want to do either. But hey...some something doesn't happen soon...

Well...I don't want to finish that sentence....and honestly that is not a road I want to go down. I just want to be able to make an honest living-and not have to bust my brains or my body doing so.

Oh, and another thing...self-employed taxes...

I barely made 10,000 last year, which I surely hope changes this year because I work my butt off and deserve to make at least 3 to 4 times that amount. Anyway...my point is...

I have to pay over 600.00 in taxes, of which only 300 is covered by the stimulous-shimulous check that I could have used at the time. It's ridiculous! And, I am a tad stressed out about it at the moment!

Well, I do have a plan at least. I hope to receive funding to go back to school. Hopefully it will help me stay in the game. Otherwise, too much evil could come my way. I saw the movie Mad Money, and don't tempt me!

No, I don't have any plans to do anything crooked. Right now I am just blowing off steam because I am sick and tired about hearing how bad the economy is and that it could get worse.

Hearing about it every five minutes is N.O.T. going to help me or anyone else! Newscasters, please! Just shutup already!!!

A Man Robs Store with a Palm Tree? What?!

julie@jabsfreelanceworld.com (Julie, Owner) — Thu, 27 Nov 2008 14:21:00 +0000

I must admit this has some humorous value. Otherwise, it would be such a ridiculous story-so ridiculous that I would have a hard time doubting whether or not it is true! Apparently a man tried to rob a store with a palm tree.

I did watch the You Tube presentation of this video and it doesn't even seem to appear real. However, it does show how stupid people can be, although the man could have possibly stabbed the store clerk with the palm branch because the end where it was cut off was kind of pointy. Other than that the store clerk did not seem to threatened, and if you ask me the whole scene looked fake.

You should watch it and let me know what you think. These "Palm Tree Robbing" case can be found at the following link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d_rJ44tanlk. I wonder, what do you (my site visitors) think of this?
