Deception.
Slipping something past you.
Bait and switch.
A curve ball.
What do all these things have to do with the title?
Have you looked at the fine print on ads lately or heard some person at the end of a television or radio ad blast through a disclaimer that is nearly impossible to follow?
They fill the legal letter of the law to let companies do the double-shuffle to say they told you what you are getting into without doing it in a way that lets you know in an obvious way.
For example, I was looking at a way to get digital tv the other day and the advertised price was $9.99 per month.
That's when the small print started.
Turns out it was just for three months, then the price tripled.
It also turns out you had to sign up for two years.
Where do you see that?
In the fine print.
Oh yes, that fine print is mighty fine. Fine indeed.
The great price turns into a two year commitment.
It's like some predator seeing the prey and saying to himself, just come a little closer to the trap, just a little closer, come on just a few more steps, one more step into the trap.
Than WHAM! The trap slams shut and they have you - for two years.
What a joke. Meant to protect us and everyone is happy that everything is disclosed in print an eagle would find difficult to read without a magnifying glass.
Thank you politicians for protecting us.
I feel protected. I feel at peace. Mostly because I, for once read the impossible to read fine print and didn't step into that mighty legal trap.
Legal yes. Unethical yes.
But as long as the company gets their money, that's all that matters.
Moron Alert - Manhole Cover Placement
Arrrrrrgggggggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhh!
I was just driving down the street and every 50 yards or so there was a manhole cover right where the drivers-side tires hit.
I...just...can't...believe...the...absolute...moron...that must have designed where to put that pipe complete with manhole covers!
If they would have put it in the middle of the street where you move over to turn there wouldn't be any problem, or if they moved it to the right about 3 feet, but NOOOOOO!
They had to put it right where you had to drive, unless you drive clear to the right to miss every cover.
What a moron. What a bunch of morons. Someone should have noticed it and thought about what a pain it would be for every driver that went down the street.
Yes, I could drive on other streets, but the morons seem to have brothers who put them in the same place on other roads!
Everyone gets to have the same thumping experience, everyone gets to have their cars slowly damaged, everyone gets to have another smile each time they thump through another one.
Enough said. There are probably people who would patiently explain why they had to be there. Those same people are morons. Someone needs to remember that someone is going to be driving over the pipe for years.
When you build a road, think about where you put the manhole covers.
What a bunch of Morons!

Moron Alert - PETA Should be WKAAA
So what does WKAA stand for? Be there in a minute.
I've been reading some interesting statistics about the group PETA, the ones that are pushing for more humane treatment of animals and saving animals.
Right.
From what I read, it sounds like PETA should be renamed WKAAA, which stands for "We Kill Almost All Animals."
Why do I say that?
Well, according to material from PETA, it sounds like they kill 83% of all animals they "rescue."
They even kill the animals they pick up from people to "rescue." It sounds from reports, that they even kill the animals as soon as they are put in the van and before the van even leaves the person's house that gave over the animal!
Some of their employees were arrested for throwing dead dogs into dumpsters in the last week. Seems they needed to get rid of some extra dead animals and the dumpster seemed the most logical place for them.
One quote from a senior level person made it sound like they decided that sometimes the most human way to treat an animal is to euthanize it. At least according to them.
So, maybe it's just impossible to save the animals they "rescue." Well, in one place where they were killing 80+% of the animals they took in, another rescue agency for animals was managing to save 73% of the animals they took in.
Just amazing that the biggest name in saving animals sounds like they are one of the biggest killers of those animals.
What do you think they would say if they found someone doing exactly what they are doing?
Think they'd have a problem with it?
Definite Moron Alert!

Moron Alert - Stimulus package
What have we come to in America when we believe that no matter how stupid we have been, no matter how many dumb decisions we have made, no matter how deep in debt we have gotten ourselves because we live beyond our means, that the government should take money from everyone else and save our sorry backsides?
What a world. No personal responsibility, no risk, the government - ole Uncle Sammy will be there with a barrel of tax money just waiting for us to stub our toes and dump cash in our laps.
And, if we happen to be a huge corporation, all we have to do is belly up to the bar and cry loud enough and billions come raining down.
Dumb for the government, dumb for the idiots who lived beyond their means, dumb because we get to pay for all their toys.
