Bartenders should be sued for contributory negligence, but since they WAY over dispensed and the patron has died of alcohol poisoning, they should be tried for manslaughter.

Do not resort to the printing press.

Ummm.....

Wow, people forget fast. A month ago Marla posted a documentary that included the making of this song and most of us made cracks on them. Personally I said let's leave them in the middle of detroit tied up playing this song.

*sigh* America, America.

 

I guess at least they learned the magic formula "add tits". :) I'll say it's amusing and damn good production quality.... so it did get a smile and it's worth watching... but oiy.....

A bit off-topic but does anyone know what's up with Project Mayhem? It's been over two weeks since he posted his "This Week in Mayhem" report.

I remember when I was taking my Micro & Macroecon classes (Paul Krugman) reading through the book and thinking this Keynesian theory sounds completely retarded. And then I remember reading the Supply side theory and regardless of Krugman's contempt saw it as by and far the most logical. Only during the financial crisis when I learned how this game has been played since the Fed was created did I truly understand why textbooks are pro Keynes.

All the messages seem to have fun, and then have to go and spin it like the guy who talks so much about politics at a college party he ends up just being lame. Put the differenecs aside for a second and just enjoy the video.

Moral of the story, enjoy the party and the free drinks, pick up a couple of hotties and rock up to work hungover waiving your fingers under everyones nose. You may feel foolish but you'll look like a legend.

It was warned what Ben would do years ago...

This video was made back in 2006 when Bush Jr first pushed Helicopter Ben on an unsuspecting public.
