Essentially, it's nutritional pornography. It's so bad for you it's shocking

Americans are suckers for themes. From themeparks to different themed rooms in houses to themed restaurants.





This Heart Attack Grill in Arizona is actually kind of funny. I mean, look at the faces of these guys, they look like they're having a good time. Could be due to the 'naughty nurses' serving up their greasy burgers.

Is this a joke?

WASHINGTON - Faced with a decline in the number of overseas visitors and unpopular entry requirements, the U.S. government is turning to the Walt Disney Co. and other theme park operators to brighten the country’s battered image.

With security much tightened since the attacks of Sept. 11, 2001, the visa and entry processes are so unpopular that the country was ranked as the world’s most unfriendly to visitors in a survey last month of travelers from 16 nations.

lubin' it up with the TSA, booyah

okay, so i was reading about how the TSA is allowing some stuff back on planes now and this caught my eye...

Up to 4 oz. of essential non-prescription liquid medications including saline solution, eye care products and KY jelly

er...KY jelly...now i'm assuming they are referring to vaseline here, but putting KY jelly leads me to believe they want peeps to be able to be well-lubed when they scrump on the plane.


edit: further reading of above link shows that vaseline is not allowed, so they do indeed mean to say KY Jelly. freaks!

Taking over the world ...one papercut at a time

This caught my eye in reading one of the many articles on the latest 'terrorist' threat....

Kingsley Veal, 35, a geologist from England, said his Continental flight from London's Heathrow airport to San Francisco was "long and boring" because, under British flight restrictions, he couldn't bring any books or music on board.

Books? No books? wtf? Were the supposed terrorists planning to rip out pages of books and threaten people with ghastly papercuts? Ooh, and maybe then they were gonna pour alcohol on them, hence the whole no liquids thing. Yes. That must be it. The terrorist master plan...

Threaten painful papercuts with rubbing alcohol poured over them. oooh (insert scary music here)


...or maybe it's just better to keep people from reading because then they won't be informed....now they'll just be scared...all that time sitting on a plane with nothing to do but think how terrible things are thanks to those blasted papercut-threatening terrorists...
