Psychopolitik 2.0

“St. Louis-style pizza”.  Tried it, don’t see the fuss.  Then again, never been a fan of thin crust anyway, so naturally I’d prefer NY or Chicago as far as pizza tribes go.  STL style is a mere snack, I like my slices to be a feast in and of themselves.

Reasonable people saw this coming a mile away, I don’t see why anyone is shocked.

Of course, I am talking about the “new” Knight Rider sucking ass…

Hit up a Chinese buffet in town earlier, was around 5:30.  Delicious, but I’ve been blasting off ever since, and it’s 10 now.

Since a theme of sorts is emerging with stupid ads as occasional diversion from the slow-motion trainwreck that is the political system we live despite, let’s continue it.  Glancing at CNN I caught the following:

Honestly folks, is the fine print even necessary? You know damn well no woman that looks like that needs an internet dating site. If I had a “teacher” (insert eye-rolling icon here) like her when I was still in school, maybe I would’ve actually paid attention in class.

By some fluke in TV programming, earlier today one of the new Microsoft ads with Jerry Seinfeld played right before a Mac ad.

The Microsoft ad was a waste of time and money akin to that ad E-Trade took out during the SuperBowl years back.  The only difference was that E-Trade’s useless commercial was 1) deliberate & 2) clever due entirely to it being played during the Super Bowl.  Jerry babbling about stuff at random used to be funny, now it’s just dumb, and what he said was so awkward that somewhere a dude on ’shrooms was watching and said to themself “Um…WTF was that supposed to mean?”.

The Mac ad was annoying, but they all are.  This particular one was compound Stupid, in that it also included a question-begging statement.  The Mac guy said that switching to Mac was easy because if you bought one a Mac “Genius” would simply transfer your files from your old computer.  Since not everything works on OSX, invariably many people would have files that can’t be transferred — that is, unless they’ll also stick your Windows installation on a partition via BootCamp.  If that’s the case, then depending on how much incompatible software you have, switching could’ve been a dumb idea in the first place: why bother getting a Mac if you’re going to run Windows on it most of the time anyway?

I guess fiber does help…

Things I would think if I were an alien and got my sense of humanity solely from TV commercials in the U.S.:

The men of the species are all slobish morons who only have knowledge on fixing vehicles & preparing animals for eating over fire.  They mostly work in man-made maze configurations, counting the seconds to themselves when they can go gather in groups consuming clear yellowish liquid, the taste of which is described sparingly as “cold” and “refreshing”, if at all.  Most of them, their mating organs fail at the age of 30, or upon getting their first grey hair, whichever comes first.  Despite this, they tend to mate with females visibly half their age, who they met via “internet dating”.  They also obtain pleasure from using vehicles large enough to store 20 Z2456nffs, seeing this as a mark of their masculinity.  The young ones prefer electronic devices to contact with their own species, and seem to like devices with carvings of fruit on them for this purpose — in fact, devices that do not have this symbol are treated as diseased.  The dark ones worship as an idol a food substance they call “fried chicken”, cannot control the volume of their communication, and play a game involving tossing an orange sphere into a hoop.  They also use large vehicles like their light-skinned counterparts, but add reflective artwork called “rims”, “dubs”, or “spinners” to them, apparently to avoid confusion from a distance.

The women of the species all harbor intense hatred for each other, and are constantly slipping back and forth into a state of willful starvation.  Mating does not bring them pleasure, which is only achievable through eating (usually containers of green vegetative matter, or a substance they call “Yo-gert”) or obtaining items not necessary to sustain life, such as animal-hide pouches & body coverings that inhibit movement.  They tend to regularly consult an oracle only known as “Oprah”, and all lose their teeth at the age of 50.  Upon full development of reproductive organs, they must enter large gatherings of males, consume large amounts of clearish-yellow liquid, and then remove their body coverings while screaming into a recording device, otherwise they are required to go into hibernation.  Their digestive systems seem to work in opposition to them at all times, and their skeletons are the most brittle substance on Earth.  Their offspring must play a game involving moving a spherical object with their lower appendages into a net at least once prior to maturation, or they will lose their will to live.  The darker of the females frequently engage in rituals where they wear every color of the visible human spectrum, then form large gatherings before one of their own perspiring heavily and shouting loudly of a creature named “Jesus”, who according to their description has powers not unlike our own species on Dptrmw6937bltXXX.

Some brain-deflating material I was recently put up on:

An amusing moment I saw on YouTube recently:

This dude must get money out the ass on tour, because I could never see myself pounding that ferociously on an MPC unless I could afford to just go get another one if I broke it.

Why didn’t I try this sooner?

Randomly fucking up incoming audio is sooooooo much fun.  Here’s a couple examples of what I did with it in the few minutes immediately after downloading from above:

Example #1: A glitched-up “Amen” edit.  If you’ve been under a rock for some years, no need to fret about what I mean by that term, just listen.

Example #2: TR-808 ran through the ringer.

I could do this all day…
