Just the facts Ma'am
Few know that Jack Webb wrote a book, The Badge. I just started reading it, and it's like Dragnet in book form. A must for any Friday fan!

"The road to hell is paved with happy plans."
I don't think all the people who commit suicide from depression would "praise melancholy," other than that it was their one ticket out of an existence too painful to endure.
But I do agree with aspects of the article, only I can't say I'll ever expect the United States to embrace melancholy - not when one of the most vital tenets of the Declaration of Independence is "[The right] to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness."

Orangutan Raped For Seven Years
i_am_joe's_spleen: I understand that a fully grown orangutan is quite strong enough to rip your arms out of their sockets, and it saddens me that Pony wasn't wise to that.
It says in the second paragraph that Pony was chained to a wall....

I think there's something more at issue here than a "goddamn sign." As imaswinger alluded to, the modern image of Santa Claus was created as a Christmas advertising gimmick by Coca Cola; what started as an ad for a corporation has become iconic. Whether or not you agree with the business practices of gas companies, the 76 balls are a part of commercial design history. And whatever your opinion, they sure beat boring signs that make buying gas even more depressing.

emo boi on emo boi
JeffK, funny you should mention Emo Phillips. Until recently, I thought they were named after him. They do share a striking resemblance.

Failure
Lordludge: I am in your head. My brother sent it to me randomly a few weeks ago, and I just thought I'd share... even with a bevy of jaded netcurmudgeons such as yourselves.
Aye, I've crushed seventeen men's skulls between me thighs!

Operation Vibration
Terrible. They'll read it as nothing other than an offensive act, as though Americans are essentially telling them to "f^*k off."
