During the opening craze of the start up of American Idolism, the WB network had put out a show called Superstar USA which turned out to be a big prank gone wrong. I detest shows like American Idolism. I think they really detract people from opening up to all sorts of music and talented musicians they might otherwise overlook. But I think the folks over there at WB came up with a good reason as to why the music industry today is what it is.
WARNING: Listen at your own risk.
The judges critique at the end of Jamie’s (the winner) performance really nailed it for me. Enjoy!
The sad part about it is that if you put some auto tune on it and mixed it to death, it would be #1 on I-Tunes.
Yes. Lets abort this fetus. You want a balanced budget? Start making corporations pay their fair share. Tax companies that ship their job overseas at a higher rate. If you want to Lobby Congress, then its a 50% flat tax to run your business. 501-C3’s can no longer be used to raise political funds. Make the DOD its own free standing entity (like the Post Office) along with charging other countries who use our military for “freedom” a “Freedom Fee.” Any church or non-profit group that wants to persuade its members on how OUR country is governed and its laws on ALL of its people, lose their non taxable status and are taxed at the new Lobbyist rate. Outlaw former congressmen, senators, vice presidents, etc from being able to work for defense contractors. Make serving on Congress or the Senate a volunteer position with no pay and no benefits.
Wow. I bet I’ve made this country money, and saved more money then the good congressman Mr. Ryan at a Planned Parenthood fund raiser and I haven’t even done a thing~how totally American of me!
Are you working and poor like me? Cant get ahead? Listen to what this douche bag wants to do! Isn’t he Mr. Fucking Flexible? Just workin across the aisle aint he?
So, maybe you have all read about the big corporate entities this past week that lost security over their customer’s email address lists?
Today I woke up to emails from Chase and Marriott both saying “we’re sorry…”
I am so sick and tired of rich corporate entities just saying “we’re sorry”. In the game of business in America, when you fuck up this much, you should pay a price, not just send out a mass email saying “we’re sorry”. What happened to the card in monopoly that said, “Bank error in your favor, collect $200.”
The way I see it, these corporate entities that screw up like this have a choice:
1. Take a HUGE FINE from the federal government (thus reducing our nation debt – it would be a win/win for both republicans and democrats).
2. Give everyone a reduction in fees (skip a car payment or a free room at a marriott for a night).
I replied to Chase and Marriott today with an email that sounds like this.
STOP LYING LIKE EVERY OTHER CORPORATION IN AMERICA!!!
If you “take my privacy very seriously” you would pay me for your lack of attention and care or the federal government would fine you for carelessly collecting such information and not maintaining proper security around it. I would lose my job if I let this happened.
What penalty is Chase or any other big corporation paying for violating the trust of innocent customers?
NONE!
This is what is wrong with America! You big corporations are not held accountable to your customers and you will not pay or compensate your customers for your carelessness.
I will definitely be blogging about this. SHAME ON CHASE AND ANY OTHER COMPANY WHO THINKS A “WHOOPS WE’RE SORRY” EMAIL CAN COMPENSATE FOR THIS! I am very disappointed.
It’s funny after all the DAILY harassment this company has given me for being late on a car payment and consumers are just supposed to shrug off this gross violation of privacy makes me sick!
You should be fined HEAVILY!
I will be taking to the internet on every blog I can find and making sure that NOBODY does business with you because you think you can fix violations of trust with a simple “whoops we’re sorry” email.
The media asked U.S. Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates if he had any advice for Gadhafi. Gates replied cooly with, “I wouldn’t go hanging any new pictures if I was him.”
Cry baby dictator!
Kudos for Gates for making a cool Rambo’esque smart ass’d quip! The guy is all class!
