It is about time

I've waited my entire life for fully consequence-free lovin' (baby-free, anyway). Let's get the ball rolling, FDA!

What I meant was, men and women should share responsibility regarding birth control as meaningful partners.

Oh those wacky English judges

What will they do next?

UPDATE: The code is cracked!

Old, old, wooden ships and you

Being both a "slave to the Man" and a "corporate whore," i.e. I work for a Fortune 500 company, I was required to attend a mandatory "Diversity-Chris's Company's Competitive Advantage" training session. Yes ladies and gentlemen, not only is it both politically correct and smart to be accepting of diversity around us, it's also profitable! I figured that I'd share with the readers of our website just a few things learned yesterday about my class, all for the simple reason that I'm a sadist, and if you're reading this post, there's a good chance that you might be a masochist of the highest quality.

The class started off with our instructor asking us "Does anybody know what diversity is?" My attempt to keep a low profile was nearly blown by my lust to answer the question with a quote from the movie "Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy", a favorite around the SeriouslyGuys HQ. Luckily, covert desire won out over "an old, old wooden ship that was used during the Civil War era."

Surprisingly enough, diversity is not just about the color of your skin or where you come from, but it also encompasses whether you have a birth canal(but not if you don't), how much time that you've worked for my company, those that are adopted, people who get emotional, introverts, and the ratio of exposed tattoos to oxygen.

Diversity also covers the above mentioned's money.

At one point, we were asked how much excluding coworkers costs our company. The actual answer probably would have produced a much stronger reaction had we been given our notes covering the entire training session sometime after this question was asked instead of having them waiting for us.

Around the halfway point, we were given an exercise on "exclusion versus inclusion" via admission into an imaginary picnic based on what you offered to bring to the picnic. Some people that weren't allowed to come to the picnic offered to bring Jagermeister, Absolut, and Kool Aid (Oh yeah!). The lessons learned from this exercise: our instructor has no taste and people that are excluded are drunks.

Later on during the class, we were shown a video from the sixties of an ABC newsbroadcast called "Eye of the Storm." The rather disturbing attempts by an Iowa teacher to teach diversity to her class of third graders were witnessed in said video. What may have been even more disturbing was the napkin worn on the woman's dress, later informed to me by one of my coworkers that it was actually part of her blouse. Sadly, the ratio of potatoes to residents was still not given to me. The search continues.

The final part of session began with concept of "Stop, Drop, and Roll," along with our instructor imparting to us "Remember, the next time that you get in a heated argument, remember what Smokey the Bear says." Personally, I'm still trying to figure out what preventing forest fires has to do with diversity. The forest people of Appalachia, perhaps?

And there you go, diversity in corporate America and you! It's most assuredly a profitable tract for businesses, as was explained to us. I'd let you all in on that bit of info, but I'm still trying to bleach the image of middle aged women wearing horn rimmed glasses and napkins on their blouses out of my head.

Fun in politics

It's nice to have a clean election--AHHH!

Important science update

Grammar is for the birds.

Guess who's baaaaack?

I suppose that now would be a good time to start drinking a lot more orange juice...especially if you live in Los Angeles.

Beat your old high scores with...The King?!?

Remember when product placement was limited to just movies, books, magazines, and television shows? Microsoft hates you....but oh so loves your money.

Tired of waiting in traffic?

Time to buy an Opticon, which as this blog understands it, is not a Transformer.

"ATF vs. Ninjas: This time, it's personal!"

The sheer fact that he was spotted clearly shows that the lad wasn't quite ninja enough.

Muhammed kulturkampf struggles on

For those of you who missed it. Comedy Central recently aired a two-part "South Park" episode about censorship and Comedy Central's refusal to show the image of Muhammed. The episode kept its recent trend of sparking religious controversy--in the sense that people who don't watch the show anyway were offended by what they heard.

Of course, offended by the threat of showing the image of Muhammed was Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad William Donohue, president of the Catholic League.

Donohue also attacked those who are "MAKING EASTER DISAPPEAR."

The "South Park" controversy is moot, however, since Muhammed already appeared in a "South Park" episode that originally aired on July 4, 2001.

The sandwich that's too rich for your blood

It's so special of a sandwich, cows are created just to be slaughtered for the dish. Oh, and with the current exchange rate, the price of the sandwich would be 148 U.S. dollars.

Seriously in the mood for justice

They're serious. The comment made about the "Thundercat logo" makes everything in the world all worth while.

Sorry, wrong number!

The moral of the story? Dial down the center with 1-800-CAL-LATT instead of using collect.

Guns in our schools

Or rather, just the shells.

Food fight!

Must. Keep. Mind. Clean.
