Infuriation.

I'm in awe...

I read a sentence today in an article about the Bird Flu issue and it instantly incensed me. I don't understand how anyone anywhere can allow an attitude like this to continue when so many millions of lives are at stake. I can't say I'm shocked, but I'm certainly appaled. Here's the sentence...

Meanwhile, large Western drug companies that manufacture antiviral drugs are up in arms over threats by Indian and Chinese companies to make cheap clones.

Who do they think they are, these 'Western drug companies', that they're allowed to complain about others making antiviral meds when there is an antiviral drug shortage? A drug shortage that has the capabilities to kill millions of people? Their greed is putting a sizable chunk of the world's population at risk - possibly even myself! It's ridiculous that they even have the gall to complain about the possibility of a company making a 'cheap clone' antiviral medicine.

The almighty dollar has gotten entirely too strong. I'm off to lose my lunch now.

@#$%ing greedy bastards.

I got a lead on an archive of entertaining web comics yesterday, and spent some time reading through the archive. Quite entertaining, and seemingly drawn with the obsessive motive of nonsense. Cheggitout @ PBF. (Mostly SFW.)

Also, I wandered upon the Pop vs Soda website - an experiment in regional dialectual decisions. This page shows the country's preferences, interactively complete with statistics. I grew up outside of Detroit, saying 'pop' exclusively,which changed when I ventured into the midwest and my vocab became amalgamated and soda took over.

Macho Man... is, uh, back?

music:Macho Man Radio!

"Macho Man is back! He's blowin' up the spot with his brand new album."

Yo.

Macho is apparently trying to get his ass kicked, as he's talking loads of smack about the Hulk, and we all know the Hulkster would simply crush Macho's little girly arse - it's a given.

This is hilarious; I don't know what's worse, the fact that I'm posting about it, or the fact that I not only let 'Macho Man Radio' actually LOAD, but I'm letting it PLAY the whole time I'm posting this. I suspect maybe it's time for some aural palette cleansing.
