The CMPAA

Oh no, that sounds bad. Actually it isn’t, it is the Captive Motion Picture Audience of America.
They are fighting one of the reasons I don’t go to the movies anymore, TV commercials played before movies. Nothing wrong with showing previews, or pushing their overpriced snack bar items, but why the F- do I have to sit thru commercials for whatever is on UPN Thursday night. Movie is listed to start at 7:35, after the trailers and commercials it’s almost 7:50 before the movie starts, just a pain in the ass.
Which is why I use Netflix. I get to watch the movie on my own time, just forward thru the crap I don’t want to see. The movie can be paused quite easily if a bathroom break is needed. The movie is cheaper, the food is cheaper, I have much more room to stretch out and be comfy.
Sorry movie theaters, the large screen is not enough for me to justify the expense and annoyances that go along with seeing a movie in the theater anymore.

1. You’ve Been Psychologically Conditioned To Want a Diamond
2. Diamonds are Priced Well Above Their Value
3. Diamonds Have No Resale or Investment Value

I guess diamonds are like hotdogs. Everyone likes them but no one wants to see how they are made or in diamonds case, mined.

10 million lonely women? Wow, so this is why I keep on hearing from russian ladies on ICQ.

British tourist Sharon Tendler has finally made her dream match - by “marrying” a dolphin she has been visiting for 15 years in the Israeli resort of Eilat, the mass-circulation Yediot Ahronot daily reported.

Tendler, 41, has been visiting the city on the Gulf of Aqaba two or three times a year to spend time with her 35-year-old underwater sweetheart. [.continue.]

You see what happens when we let the gays marry, now its the dolphins. What is next?
Does this mean I can marry that wonder case of Mikes Hard Lemonade I keep spending time with?

Best quote in the article.

I made a dream come true. And I am not a pervert.
