fairuse said:You know what I think? [pause for effect interrupted by he-man bass VO pickup truck advisement] Grrr. Cats on a plane! cover the keyboards! {Back on topic} Any person that does that to their mobile should be deprogrammed of cult code. What a total waste of computing power. To clarify -- their brain. The mobile will recover. I have listened to some of the chatter about "FB Home" but didn't realize how fu¢ked it is till now. One interesting quote, paraphrased, "(..) the way some are carrying on about 'Facebook Home' you would swear they killed their mother (..)". [ed: Should have grabbed it, sorry] I am glad my FB is just a placeholder with worthless data.Posted: 6 weeks 6 days agoon the post: Facebook Home - Airplane Home - (2013) (USA)

fairuse said:And I thought the suits were over this kind of condescending advert. Jezebel's words are not that shocking. The vagina site on the other hand with all those amateur photos (and jacked p0rn pics) were shocking; people need to learn color match and basic lighting. WHAT? Scoffs, one crutch is the same as another, however, it is a crime to do bad photos after someone is brave enough to put the pussy in the press. [ed: sounds good but I am not "the press"] Oh, BTW, I have, mumble, cough.. interview & video that .au news[?] crew made. They were working the angle it was a problem regulators created -- .au government regulations of full-frontal photos require "neat tidy vagina area" or the magazine was not connivence store approved. Photoshopping p0rn pics to make false impressions on the clueless is government's job in any country. The crew went to plastic surgeon next. Film may still be online. nah it is history. I guess the Department of {who the fuc cares} wants to put a sticker on all tuna. I did not forget the 'Johnson' hanging out and not really getting much press unless it is entertainment property or politicos. then just keep it in your pants -- your Valet can handle detailing. The other option is watch the dog; learn, train and watch for alcohol in mystery wipes.Posted: 10 weeks 4 days agoon the post: Playtex launches Fresh + Sexy Intimate Wipes with beavers, Jezebel has a cow.

fairuse said:Why did I let the sociopathic PETA shit lead me here? Oh yeah, PETA is listed; eco-terrorism. All I can say about the save the trees signature scam is that it must be a recruitment tactic; need to resupply the eco-terrorist ranks. A gullibility test? Maybe. Seems the e-mail sig topic is bait for other extremists. Mr.Anon*, or as I should say the late Mr.Anon*, didn't see that coming.Posted: 22 weeks 1 day agoon the post: Please consider the environment before printing this e-mail.

The bengal kittens like their new handle, Hat & Gloves -- Gray Bengal is Hat, Brown Bengal is Gloves. Might be the other way around cause Tosh has softer fur.

fairuse said:Click.... I had to, I never visited a Facebook storefront. Okay, I still have not visited a Facebook storefront because I was redirected to the [dot]com e-commerce store. I am going to try parsing this for user (customer) satisfaction. 1.0 I visit cute pinup girls and look-a-like cats tumblr [two things I know a tiny bit about] 1.1 Click on "fishbowl" image. 1.1.1 LOGIN to Facebook window. [WTF!] (note: Yes I can read the browser status line and knew FB was next. Still pisses me off.) So, I log in and get a nice FB page full of FB kind of stuff. At this time only the "fishbowl" image is a Facebook link. All other images are linked to .com.au store. 1.1.2 Click "Shop Online" [ https :// www.facebook.com/ hurlyburlyperth/ app_201189479924274 ] Wait one cotton pickin minute. What personal info did I just give up? Not a clue. No popups telling me the "app_" url thingy is sucking all my personal info into the store's or corporate Facebook's infobase (Personal = email addrs/phone#/real address/credit card type/contact list and more). NOTE: my FB is so "nobody but me can see or do anything". However, I am still pissed at the unknown. The please wait while being redirected to store kind of message displays. DUH! 1.1.3 At the online store via Facebook side trip http://www.hurly-burly.com.au/ a) I get it, social media & advertising & connect with customers. b) Even though a) is understood, I can do without it. Any store requiring Facebook (login is required) must separate that from the shopping cart site (ecommerce). Facebook is a marketing tool and forcing a [new] customer to wander thru FB is "iffy logic". Sometimes folks just want to browse catalogue and buy something. Bot see all the behind the counter scene. Established customer is more likely to check that FB story out. c) What is the takeaway? The pinup girl & cat from tumblr I will remember - cute factor. The online store I will recall because the products are niche and the novelty section reminds me of the head shops around the beach (from my youth). And, Hurly Burly are the proud sponsors of Miss Pin Up Australia After a long youtube search I present the newest pinup kitten that needs a pinup girl poster: video length, 20 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WebyXmdQOkw Of course the contest judge just wants to go home: video length, 17 seconds http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wdvsj0C7rJ0 No brain cells were injured making this comment.
