it pisses me off. one thing to acquire a company, another acquire it for the purpose of tax evasion. multi-billion dollar company, workers paid approximately minimum wage and dickered over hours to avoid providing healthcare (making them just like walmart in that their workers qualify for food stamp and other government assistance), using our roads and infrastructure to transport their product, but they don't want to pay their share of taxes. let's not even talk about the prospective cost their shitty food will have on health care. we have a 35%-ish rate, but burger king's effective tax rate last year was 27%. boo fucking hoo. fuck this company. i don't eat there now, never have, sure as fuck won't in the future.
what made me laugh was in the aftermath when the kid was all upset, you can hear the mower in the background, so the dad just continued to cut the rest of the grass. like, no big deal.
i loved the video but i wonder how real it was. i mean the kid did a great job of being a shitty kid. but the dad had to be willing to get dangerously close to his boy with a riding mower if it was real.
my favourite thing about this video is how obviously fake it is and how people love it anyways because of how it feeds into their own opinions of the world. well, that, or this kid has high functioning autism and the cameraman has uncanny timing. same way that people are willing to believe obviously satirical stories like this one: http://www.cbc.ca/thisisthat/blog/2013/ ... om-soccer/
i'm thinking of a scene in a movie, but i can't remember what movie. some people are fistfighting and they are in some sort of movie or tv studio because they keep stumbling onto various sets interrupting whatever is filming, and it just goes on and on.
probably, although pee wee's big adventure has something similar (without fists) . he even interrupts a twisted sister video in the process.
it might not have been a fistfight per se, i just seem to recall struggling and falling on shit and bursting through backdrops. i'll have to youtube both of those when i get home. i kinda think it might be pee wee because i've only seen blazing saddles once and pee wee multiple times. thanks!
i'm almost positive it's blazing saddles. throw out your hands. stick out your tush! hands on your hips. give them a push!... i miss dom deluise. jay and silent bob strikes back also has a set-to-set climax. so does westworld.
this is why i hate politics: if arnie hadn't been elected, he and cameron would have made true lies 2. fuck you, california.
every area was obviously set up to be perfectly timed with the camera. i wish it was real, but it definitely is a hoax.
i thought it looked suspicious with how the games were laid out and how the kid had the perfect camera angle and had the lawnmower perfectly framed.
from the beginning there was exactly zero part of me that thought that video was realistic. and honestly, it didn't look like it intended to be a hoax or disguise the fact that it was fake. if it did.... well, that's the worst professional-fake i have ever seen. this, however, is not fake. this is legend.
i had asparagus for lunch today, then ended up standing next to my boss at a urinal. thus concludes today's communication.
might not be that big of a deal, because not everyone can smell it. http://www.mensfitness.com/nutrition/wh ... gus-stench

when i was a kid, a family friend's youngest daughter was fucking up a lot. her dad told her friday afternoon to clean her fucking room or else. she went to a friends house and called his bluff. so he backed a pickup under her window, took a shovel and every thing in her room that wasn't for school (clothes, jewellery, makeup, etc) that wasn't neatly put away got shovelled out the window and into the pickup and he dumped the lot. i was about six at the time i think, and i called it then that her mother would ruin the effect of the lesson and replace all her shit with new stuff inside of a month anyway. but always stuck with me as a brilliant bit of parenting if it hadn't been ruined.
