This is Classic! Taco Bell Wedding Footage

This is pretty much old news already but I was able to find video footage of the now famous “Taco Bell Wedding”. I guess in these tough economic times you do what you can…
1) Find a bride using internet dating
2) Fly her up to “Normal, Ill”
3) Find a 24 hour Taco Bell
4) Go to TJ Maxx and pick out a $15 dress
5) Find a friend who just got ordained online
6) Get married
…and live happily ever after. Wedding bliss at $200 dollars.

Clear Channel Layoffs: When Radio becomes property and not about product

…people don’t matter and radio goes to shit.

The announcement of Clear Channel Radio canning 1850 jobs across it’s radio, outdoor and corporate divisions didn’t come as a real surprise. Since Clear Channel is the largest conglomerate of radio stations in America it will be certain that many of my friends in radio will be losing there job.

Mark Mays can blame the economy all he wants but “Radio” and the way that Clear Channel plays “Radio” is what is bringing financial collapse to the Radio Giant. Quality broadcasting is gone. One thing that large corporations don’t understand is that most of the money is made locally and there are no more local radio personalities. Everything is voice over and stretching the already exhausted talent to 20 other markets to save money doesn’t create the fan base needed to attract people to listen.  I’d rather listen to my iPod or internet radio.  Some of my friends will disagree with me but i believe that terrestrial radio is going to die a slow painful death…unless they create a reason for people to listen in.

I told a friend that there was going to be a huge corporate backlash two years ago. No one believed that it would happen but there were more and more lay offs and the on air jobs were given to hacks that probably couldn’t get a job on college radio.

I feel sorry for the mediocre talent in the market right now that are losing their jobs because there really is no place else for them to go. There’s only room for a couple of “cheesy” announcer types for used car commercials.

Mark my words and bookmark this page. The idiots at the top of the corporate food chain will finally realize that they have to bring Radio back to the locals and then the locals will begin to give back to Radio…with their wallets.

The Gay Bishop and Obama…this needs to stop.

When are we going to stop bickering about this insane controversy involving Pastor Rick Warren, Obama’s pick to bless his swearing in ceremony and Bishop Gene Robinson. Just because the Hollywood establishment supported Barack Obama doesn’t necessarily mean that they need to get their dirty little hands all over everything that Obama is doing.

Rick Warren is against Gay Marriage, so what. Is America going to completely fall apart because he says a prayer for Obama. If Gay America wants to get married than get for Gays elected and start changing the laws yourself. Don’t think that you can buy straight politicians to do your dirty work for you.

I don’t lean either way on Gay Marriage because I’m not big on marriage anyway…that’s why I’m not married. People get so caught up in the bullshit that they forget that love is love, no matter what. If a man loves a man, a woman loves a woman and a man loves a woman, it’s all love and no piece of paper is going to legitimize it…I don’t care how many prayers you say.

My Christianity says that homosexuality is a sin…my Christianity also says that I need to love my brothers and sisters no matter what their flaws and sins. I’d rather love my fellow man…it definitely beats the alternative.

Instead of trying to use confrontation as a tool why not use our brains to come to a comfortable solution for everyone…there has to be a win-win-win somewhere.

AmericanForest.org has got to be the dumbest non-profit I’ve seen

This is stupidity beyond the usual stupidity that I encounter. American Forest is a non-profit organization who’s cause is basically saving the forests of America. I would hope that within those forests the people at AmericanForest.org would know that there are “trees” that make up most of the forests we have here in America. Not a hard concept to grasp especially when you’re in the business of saving forests… I would hope…but that hope was dashed one day when a friend of mine who supports American Forest received a “postcard” form them asking for him to donate money to help save the forests…and that every dollar helps plant a tree.

Did you read this correctly? A postcard was sent to my friends home…not on recycled paper but on a glossy stock made from the very trees his money is supposedly helping to save. This absolutely confused the shit out of me. How is it possible that an organization that is raising money to save the forests and I guess the trees in those forests would send a “postcard” made from the very trees they are protecting. It’s like asking a pedophile to go door to door raising money to protect children from child abuse and molestation. Give me a friggin’ break!

“American Forests works to protect, restore and enhance the natural capital of trees and forests.” is the tagline and I guess mission of this organization.

It doesn’t take long to see that the organization doesn’t care how many tree’s it cuts down and uses for paper products because their website shows all sorts of tree by products such as; calendars, an American Forest Magazine, and precious American Forest “note cards”…but remember…”Every $1.00 Plants a Tree.”

Have supporters been so naive that they didn’t realize that this organization is taking money from them and damaging the very same forests they are bound to protect.

Watch my video to about the whole situation.

How Does Mozilla’s Firefox Browser go from being the greatest to the worst?

It is becoming commonplace on the internet to have awesome applications or programs that when launched make your life easier and more productive. Just when things seem like they are running along smoothly, the creators of that program or application decide to F@#k it up. This is the case with Mozilla’s Firefox Browser.

When it first came out it loaded quickly, made installing plug ins easy and uploading videos to You Tube or Viddler was a snap. On more than 10 occasions Firefox timed out or created an error while uploading…and sometimes it takes me 4 or 5 tries to get a video uploaded. Not good for productivity.

The one major aspect of Firefox was that it wasn’t as clunky as Microsoft’s IE and never timed out. That is not the case anymore…I never thought I would say this but I find myself using Internet Explorer more and more. I have developed a habit of clicking on the Firefox Icon and find myself searching for my IE icon because Firefox refuses to load…what a pain in the ass!

I don’t know what the developers at Mozilla have done and I really don’t care. The fact is if they want users to keep using their browser then they better get on fixing the problems or suffer the same consequences that AOL and all the idiots out there that thought they could F@#k things up and no one would notice.

The internet changes in micro seconds and new a better products come out and with the popularity of “Social Networking” the old guard is gone and the “newbie’s” can crush the “establishment” with just a few clicks…
