All I Seem to Post Are Videos... Oh Well, Part 5.

So, I found this video at Best Week Ever, and it titled its post "This Video Is Literally Called 'Baby Porcupine Eats a Banana and Has Hiccups'".  I'm pretty sure the intent is to suggest that this is somehow as cute as a puppy and a baby.

It's not.  And I'm going to break ranks, as The Atlantic would say, and say it's not cute.  It's creepy.  I think it looks like a mutant human (WITH HANDS) eating a banana.  YES A MUTANT HUMAN.  Screw you biologists, that's not a cute rodent at all.

We Interrupt This Series of Videos...

...for another video (sort of). 

 

But this is a good reason: The second season of Justified, one of the single best shows on TV, finally has a premiere date.  It's coming back February 2011.  Set your Google Calendar reminders now folks!

My growing crush on JGL just took another step forward. Dude is on a roll with (500) Days of Summer and Inception. Make another movie with Zooey!!!

All I Seem to Post Are Videos... Oh Well, Part 3.

This vid has already gone viral, but I don't care. It makes me smile like the puppy/baby vid and the parallel parking vid. So I'm posting it again, ready for Wave Two of viraldom -- thanks to me!

Dear M. Night,

Remember when your twist endings were as good as this one? That was a long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long, long time ago.

To be fair. This is f***ing cute as all hell. Puppies and babies! It's a veritable confluence of all the sweetness in the world in one flash video.

30 Days.

Dear Comcast,

 

Really?  It takes you 30 days to put my name on your internal Do Not Call list?

 

I recently moved to a new apartment and switched cable providers because it was cheaper.  Since then, Comcast has called me every day to attempt to get me back as a customer.  Advice #1: That's effing annoying.  If you want me back as a customer, lower my rates, and stop messing with my DVR programming. 

 

Finally, today, Comcast switched the incoming phone number it was using to call me so that I'd actually pick up the phone after ignoring them.  The service representative just started talking and was about to transfer me to a salesperson without asking me if I wanted to proceed, let alone why I bothered switching in the first place.  Advice #2: That's effing disrespectful.

 

I shouldn't be surprised, I guess.  Anyway, I requested that they not call me anymore.  That's when I was told that it can take up to 30 days for that to be entered in the system.  WTF?  You can unsubscribe from spam with a click.  The US Post Office can make the switch in 2-3 days.  Hell, even print magazines like Entertainment Weekly take at most a week to make changes like that.  But the purveyors of xfinity takes 30 days to stop calling an ex-customer?  FOUL.  Go back to HBS and learn how to stop pissing off your customers.

 

Love,

 

-Me.
