The Bullshit Stalker

Designer Bandaids are Bullshit!

By admin on Aug. 20, 2008.

Sometimes I think the world has lost its mind.  This is one of those times.

In a day when people are still starving in Africa, wars are being waged over money and power, and we all watch the price of oil the way we used to watch a stock ticker people have the audacity to spend money on designer bandaids.

Yes, you want to cover your wounds for a few reasons.  Not everyone is going to think that gash in your arm is cool.  And, you need to keep the wound clean to avoid the super bug.  But that isn’t what these designer bandaids are being worn for.

People are using them for fashion accessories.   And lying about it.  Sorry, but that is just bullshit.

If you’ve got that kinda money lying around (or want people to think you do), why not just make a big public donation to a charity?  When are people going to wake up and realize that happiness comes not from what others think of you, but what you think of yourself?

Uhhg!

Hot Beer Girls Are Bullshit

By admin on Aug. 19, 2008.

You’ve seen ‘em. The ads showing a hottie holding a beer. She wants you! Yes, you big boy. She doesn’t care that your slightly balding, have a gut (from drinking her beer no doubt). You’re loyal, and she respects that.

Actually, what she is doing is introducing you to the effects of “beer-goggles” before you’ve even taken a sip. This is what she actually looks like:

Remote Kill Switch On I-Phone Is Bullshit!

By admin on Aug. 18, 2008.

Even though you bought that new iPhone, the life in your pocket appliance isn’t all yours after all.  Apple has its finger on the button that could wipe it out in a blink.  Apparently Apple put a secret URL in the operating system that will allow them to remove applications.

Yes, we can see where this would be useful.  If they find that an application is doing something it shouldn’t, they can help all of their users by removing the application from everyone’s iphone.  But didn’t we buy these applications from the Apple application store to begin with?  What about the testing?  Hmmm?

The main point here: We bought the phone.  Its ours!  You’re already telling us who we have to use for a phone service.  And now you’re telling us what applications we can have? How about just testing the applications before you offer them to the public?  I call bullshit!

Blue Laws Are Bullshit!

By admin on Aug. 17, 2008.

Blue Laws are laws that prevent stores from selling beer, wine or liquor on Sundays.  These antiquated laws have been on the books in many jurisdictions for decades.  And the citizens in these counties and towns, primarily in the Southeast, just go about life dealing with this.

Well, it is total bullshit!  All it does is make people plan around it.  You shop for your alcohol needs the day before.  Why?

These laws were written back when we as a country let religion override basic rights.  If you think we’ve evolved from that age, you are mistaken.  We still have these legacy items hanging over us and that is bullshit!

Bullshit Parents Of The Year!

By admin on Aug. 16, 2008.

Philadelphia may be the city of brotherly love, but that doesn’t extend to everyone.  Daniel and Andrea Kelly have been charged in the starvation death of their handicapped daughter, Danieal Kelly.  Now that should be enough to get anyone a Bullshit Award.  But no, these two are overachievers!  They are suing the city for contributing to the death of their child.

If you live in Philidelphia and you run into their lawyer, Brian Mildenberg.  Would you kick him for me?

Cockfight Bullshit In Louisiana

By admin on Aug. 15, 2008.

Today, Louisiana became the last State in the United States to put a ban on cockfight gambling.  I know a lot of you, like I was, are saying, “What, it was still legal to have a cockfight yesterday?”  Yes, it was.  For about a year now, it was illegal to bet on a cockfight (Senate Bill 221).  So you could have a cockfight provided there was no wagering.  Now with HB 108 there is a full ban on the cockfights.

Sometimes even the Bullshit Stalker is floored by the bullshit.  This is one of those times.

Letting Video Games Babysit Is Bullshit

By admin on Aug. 14, 2008.

We’ve all seen it. Parents letting video games become the babysitter. I travel a lot, and I find it amazing that every kid in the airport or on the plane has a video game. Whatever happened to coloring books?

You Know What Isn’t Bullshit?

You!  My regular readers and commenters.  I love you guys and gals!

Ft Lauderdale Police In The News Again?

By admin on Aug. 13, 2008.

Okay, first they let a untrained young women get snuffed while doing an undercover sting, now they catch one of their employees enjoying porn at work!  This bullshit is unbelievable.  I think these guys really need to look at their hiring practices.

The more I think about this the more silly it gets.  The dude was a webmaster.  Which means he should know that what you do on the Internet is never completely private.  Especially when you do it at work!  Geesh!

He didn’t break any laws, but being stupid should hurt.  Wait, it is.  He’s being fired.  Good!

If You Care About Who Fathered Rielle Hunter’s Child

By admin on Aug. 12, 2008.

So, Rielle Hunter won’t get a paternity test done and wants people to respect her privacy.  Where does she think she is?  If you mess around with a married Senator, one with higher political aspirations, people are going to demand to know.  Was he good?

Really.  If you care about this story, then you need to re-evaluate your priorities.  Basically the story ended with a one line statement.  Senator Edwards had an affair and therefore he likely won’t be Senator Obama’s running mate.  End of story, move on.
