• It’s a miracle! A revelation! A new study shows that record labels have to — get this — lower music prices in order to increase profits. How come nobody has thought of that before? What a novel idea. People complain for, like, a decade that physical media is overpriced, and now “experts” have decided that the path to profit includes a decrease in price. Now, what are the odds that — when presented with the results of the study — anyone in the music industry is going to consider lowering prices. Don’t bother guessing. It’s not going to happen. The dinosaurs are going to continue to believe that what they are selling demands a certain price, and anything less than their suggested value will be seen as an insult to their time-tested tradition. Which, of course, hasn’t really stood the test of time because millions of people obtain music through P2P networks and through other “illegal” channels annually. But hey, what do we know, we’re just…more sensical than them. [story]
• Not only can smoking cigarettes cause cancer, emphysema, asthma, and other debilitating health issues, now comes word that smoking may cause infections. Like… E. coli? Really? Yeah…don’t smoke. *The More You Know* [story]
• Speaking of health, I’m a man. I’m a man and I care about how I look. I care about how I look because I’m self-conscious and hate myself. That said, this article called “101 Ways To Lose Your Gut” shed some light on ways that I could prevent myself from being a fat piece of shit like all the overweight assholes who are out there. God, those people are annoying. It’s called restraint. Try it sometime. Look at you, you fat fuck. I don’t pity you. You ate too much. You shouldn’t have done that. Here. Take this. This is a list of ways you can lose some weight. Fatty. [story]
• Have you ever thought about what would happen if you found yourself falling through the sky from a height of 35,000 feet? Here’s everything you need to know about how to survive your fall. The odds aren’t very good, but imagine the pussy you could get if your opening line was something like, “I’ve fallen out of a plane and survived — it was my destiny to help you get dug out.” [story]
• As recently as 400 years ago, people were convinced that there were bottomless bodies of water. Actually, now that I think about it, that’s a long time ago. So what? 400 years ago we didn’t have AIDS. Why don’t you think about that instead of wasting your time reading about lochs in Scotland and whether or not they have bottoms. [story]
• Lastly, here’s a YouTube video of a photograph supposedly of an Area 51-related UFO, taken in 1990. I wish the article attached to it was longer and provided more story, but then again it doesn’t matter because the photograph kind of sucks. For once I’d like to see a picture of a UFO that isn’t a blurry light in the sky. I want to one of those gigapixel cameras to capture one so I can see some detail before I dismiss it as completely NOT a UFO. But that will never happen, because UFOs aren’t even real. [story]
Three more days until LOST. Three more days until LOST. Three more days until LOST.
