Free Shipping, Free Time Machine

People have gotten dumber since the last time I tried buying tickets on eBay.

Take, for instance, lmhjnd, who lists an item as “Jerry Seinfeld Tickets – FRONT ROW” and then admits they’re really in row P.  Row P.  Row P is behind an aisle… and twenty other rows.  Awesome.

My favorite so far, though, is akillie, who offers two Orchestra tickets in an auction that ends 2.5 hours after the show starts.  Which is basically when the show is over.  You really haven’t thought this through at all.

Bring Back the Porn

Reuters reports that after Indonesia’s parliament passed a law criminalizing the transmission of pornography, hackers defaced the information ministry’s website in protest.

Which brings us back to Perry’s Perspective:

“Let me go ahead and share a little something special with you that I like to call Perry’s Perspective:

“One, if someone’s standing in front of me in line at the coffee shop and they can’t decide what they want in the half-hour it took to get to the register I should be allowed to kill them.

“Two, I’m fairly sure if they took porn off the Internet there’d only be one website left and it’d be called ‘Bring Back the Porn.’ …”

It’s not often we get to scientifically prove something said in a sitcom, but it’s oh so sweet. “This moment is so great I’d cheat on that other moment from before, marry this one, and raise a family of tiny little moments.” (from My Unicorn)

You Had Me at “Adult Video Chat”

Video Girls BiZ is a website software suite, containing all software required for powering a pay-per-view online videochat business.  This can be used for various paid video chat businesses including adult video chat, online video advice, internet school tutoring…”

Wait, adult video chat and “internet school tutoring” aren’t really just the same thing?

I’ve been duped!

How to Get Dumped in One Easy Step

Here is an actual e-mail I just received from a popular web hosting provider.

“… Want to give your sweetheart something creative this Valentine’s Day?”

Stop right there.  Just stop.   Do not even think of going on to suggest that I should get my hypothetical sweetheart a nice web hosting package for Valentine’s Day.
