today's rant: entertainment

fucking gas prices.

apparently, there is no more wrestling in WWE, world wrestling entertainment. The company is known as WWE, Inc, not World Wrestling Entertainment Inc. There are no wrestlers, there are only superstars and divas. there are no title belts, there are only championships. they are not a wrestling company, they are only an entertainment company. maybe that's the reason why the wrestling observer newsletter names UFC as the best promotion year after year, despite the fact that UFC IS REAL!!! vincent kennedy mcmahon junior is an idiot.

coincidentally, myspace isn't a social networking site anymore, either. it's "social entertainment". no, it's not. want to know what is really social entertainment? a 1000 person circle jerk. THAT's social entertainment. (sponsored by astroglide, 'cause god knows the logistics of pulling something like that off needs corporate sponsorship)

let's see if the trend keeps going. fox news can be called "journalistic entertainment", taco bell can be called "mexican food entertainment", MTV is "music entertainment".

explain this to me: according to taco bell's website, their 100% USDA inspected beef is 88% beef. that's right. according to their math, 100 = 88. um... how much beef is in the 88% beef? if my math is correct, that would be 77.44%. of course, that naturally means that 77.44% of the beef is really 68.15% beef. isn't math fun?

i had the privilege to submit a story to the darwin awards website for an honorable mention (person almost died doing something really stupid). the moderators approved it for public voting.

last thursday morning, a newspaper delivery guy got stuck in an elevator in manhattan between the first floor and the lobby. he pried the doors open and tried to jump out of the elevator. the doorman saw and tried to help by getting a chair to stand on. the guy didn't wait, jumped out, lost his balance, and fell down the elevator chute 25 feet. vote if you want.
