You Missed My Birthday

That's okay...I forgive you. Hey, welcome back to one of the best weeks ever here at Thinking Hard. 1. I took most of the week off to celebrate another anniversary of the day of my birth. (Still haven't decided if it was a good idea for Dad to say "Let's try it tonight WITHOUT the condom..") 2. Mitt F'n Romney. Hidden camera video FTW! Y'know, I get great joy out of seeing these clips during the campaign season (you're allowed to shoot as many campaigns as you can haul back to your truck), but let's be honest here...none of it has anything to do with the issues. We already know where Romney stands (business RULZ!) and we know where Obama stands (remember when you were afraid of "death panels?")...with the exception of international issues, Mr. Romney...so can we PLEASE get past the hidden camera videos and get to the real crux of the election? PLEASE???...well, maybe we can wait for Jon Stewart to take a few shots at Fox News (which, by the way, now has the BEST. NICKNAME. EVER.), but THEN...

(I think my favorite part of that last clip is when Craig T. Nelson believes there's a Food Stamp Fairy somewhere...) Y'know what, let's do one more. A wrap of the political conventions...with the most ignorant human being this side of Sarah Palin at the end of the clip:

Man, what are we going to laugh at after Election Day? Hey, did you stand in line like an idiot this week to get the "new" iPhone? The iPhone 5 (see also: iPhone 4S minus useless things like ACCURATE MAPS) came out Friday. As an Android phone user (and iPod owner), it's frustrating that Apple gets the better apps FIRST. Seriously, I'm playing Matching with Friends and Gems with Friends on my iPod...because Zynga decided to release SLOTS WITH FRIENDS on the Android market instead. Seriously. Slots. It might as well be called "Gambling Addictions with Friends." Anywho, I briefly pondered picking up the new iPhone, but only if they were to put awesome new features on it. Like THIS "responsibly and accurately produced news report from the Fox station in New York" says it has. (I would TOTALLY have bought the iPhone for this) “Starting at $200 bucks, the iPhone 5 is sleeker, has a laser keyboard, holographic images and other cool new features.” In actuality, the reporter had seen a video produced by a visual effects company in San Francisco of ITS version of an iPhone 5 prototype. There are no laser keyboards or holographic images...yet. Also, I want to point out that the station removed the video of the original report, presumably out of embarrassment. Hell, I'm only a CASUAL follower of Apple, and even I knew there were no such features on the phone. I mean, I work with some imcompetent people, some of which TAKE their story ideas FROM Fox, but STILL... I don't mean to suggest that these reporters be killed by the mob. But we're moving on to video that can best be described as "whack"... That's out of Philadelphia. Philadelphia. Where traffic reporters go to get "whacked." -B-
