To all living beings alike, I would truely like to apologize for the Playstation commercials, Old Spice commercials, DirecTV commercials, and Geico commercials. I am not the sole representative of the human race, nor do I have any involvement in said commercials, but I would still like to deeply apologize for those abominations that the human race has created. I also want to apologize for the second season of True Blood, and also the entire Lifetime and Comedy channels in general.

I also feel that I need to partly apologize for the show CSI, for giving a false impression to computer illiterate people as to what the internet and what computer technology does. I also need to apologize for the bad puns, sorry about that.

Politics too, I would like to apologize for. The spawning of illiterate people feeling the need to express uninformed views and preach meaning to conventions they themselves don't take part in, I would like to apologize for. By extention, I need to apologize for Linux and Open Source in general.

So yeah, I'm very sorry for all of that. We all make mistakes, and all we can do is learn from them.

It's okay, Drag. I forgive you.

Except for CSI. I hate that show to bits.

I don't have a problem with Linux, but I will probably just run Kubuntu in Microsoft Virtual PC rather than dual-boot with my new system

However, I did partition my hard drive to put all my data on one drive and my system files on the other drive for Windows 7...

I'd give Virtualbox a shot instead. I never managed to get Linux, save for Damn Small, working in Virtual PC. (But even then, I never got sound working)

You apologize for all these misdeeds of humanity, yet you neglect to mention such atrocities as the Spanish Inquisition, slavery, and, of course, the Brady Bunch Reunion?

Make sure you get your priorities straight, Drag.

For me, it's commercials for places that aren't even in my area that bother me the most... like where is there a Sonic around here?

I tend to usually see them on cable only, at least...

The same thing happens here, as well. It's more the fact that television stations cover more than just a small area, though. (The nearest Sonic is in West Philadelphia here, for reference)

It could always be worse, like seeing a Jack in the Box commercial on the wrong coast... I think I actually saw one once.

I bitched about the Ps3 commercials on Twitter several hours ago, not sure if I'm up to do it again.

And it's going to be very hard to forgive you.

That's what he said.

I'm not a fan of any of those commercials... but I don't really like them either. I do like the Coors Light commercials, usually good for a little chuckle out me. Can't think of any others that get me to chuckle though.

Paulguy's Post configuration
South park, at least the older episodes, is pretty decent. The rest of comedy central I will agree is pretty lousy except they used to rerun duckman and the critic.

For Linux and open source, you can't place the blame of the retarded evangelists on those things, themselves. They're really quite good ideas.

What is so bad about the Playstation Commercials?

Does anyone remember them when the PS1 was out?

They had balls. And I am sorry, but they made some of the best gaming commercials.

Hell look up PS1 commercials and PS3. They have went back to their roots!

Where to even begin with that...

That ad would've been a lot more effective if they'd shown a crappy SNES game.

SMK doesn't quite fit that mold.

I just don't like the newer Ps3 commercials because it looks like their making out that there are no female gamers.

Let me try to dig up my rant from this morning on Twitter.

---
Is it just me, or are the Ps3 commercials all towards men and they look at females in a negative light? Like, we shouldn't be playing games?
---
We need more pro female gamer TV ads. That are NOT for the Wii or the DS. Those are just terrible.

---
Sure, lets show the wife/mother playing Little Big Planet. Cause that's all she can play, right? Where's the love for the FPS games?!

---
Dense chick doesn't know it's a damn video game. WTF?
---
Why not have it where she's playing and won't allow her husband to play? Or maybe the husband doesn't play games at all but she does?
---
And why not hot guys in these ads, but they have hot girlfriends? It's like a bad porn video. Good looking chicks, but ugly/old men.

And then we have the PSP Go ad where the guy is playing his PSP on the balcony of an apartment/hotel which has at least two girls sleeping inside and a third coming out to greet him as he's playing.

I am to presume that this guy got laid - possibly in a threesome or more - the previous night, and then he wakes up early and plays his damn PSP?!?

Anya, I don't have anything against your argument or anything. (And nothing personal) But seriously?

You are that offended from the PS commercals only pointing to guy gamers?

Really?

Sorry Anya, I still love you and all, but I don't see the logic here. I might be missing something: But please point that out to me.
