PATH: BS | PT Barnum New Orleans Mayor Proposes Gambling As Solution To City Problems Posted by Pile (8784 views) [E-Mail link] Mayor Ray Nagin called Friday for Las Vegas-style gambling in hurricane-hit New Orleans in a desperate attempt to quickly heal its battered lifeblood industry -- tourism.

The book -- whose back cover says "Never get sick again!" and "Learn the specific natural cures for herpes, acid reflux, diabetes ... cancer ... and more!" -- has topped the Publishers Weekly nonfiction bestseller list for the past three weeks. Ok, what is with you people? This guy has hawked every gimmicky product he could scam on people for the last decade, from speed reading courses to diet and "cure-all" pills. WTF? Who's buying this crap?

You leave your computer to grab a cup of coffee or to pay the pizza guy. While you're up, your cat Fluffy Bottom hops up onto the desk and does the foxtrot right on your keyboard. When you get back to the computer, you find that your document is full of clever phrases like "okkkklllllllllklklklklk," your operating system is now Linux, and you seem to have ordered 500 pounds of catnip from Ebay. What you need is Pawsense, the cat-guarding software! READ MORE | 3 comments since 2005-08-14 18:50:07 | Comment on this Article We're Not Afraid? Posted by Pile (9619 views) [E-Mail link] [Vanity] The latest Internet fad comes in the wake of the London bombings. A new web site, werenotafraid.com has popped up encouraging people to post images expressing this sentiment. For the bravest of visitors, the site sells a plethora of "We're Not Afraid" merchandise, including the daring, "We're Not Afraid" T-Shirt, so you can parade around the mall declaring your sense of personal security to everyone else. The site's authors have even graciously decided to donate an ambiguous portion of their revenue to the Red Cross. Look for these peoples' next web project: WeAreNotFat-WeAreJustBigBoned.com.

Well, fret no more, there's another new gimmick on the horizon: The Transneuronix Implantable Gastric Stimulation system is like a pacemaker for the belly. Implanted into the abdomen, it zaps nerves in the stomach to make you think you're full. How about a device that zaps you in the head if you contemplate buying into another stupid diet gimmick? I'm obviously missing out on the bandwagon here, so I want to announce my own new "weight loss system". It's called the BSAlert Diet(tm). You send me all your money; that way your broke ass won't be able to binge on Snackwells. Trust me, this works.

Well, before you visit Talbot's again, why not apply some "Spray on Mud" to your vehicle to give it that authentic, "I-actually-use-my-SUV-for-the purpose-it-was-designed" look?

This one is apparently so confident of his gambling prowess, the three employees of his startup company have been playing online poker in lieu of collecting paychecks. Now there's an entrepeneur who will undoubtedly offer little or no risk to investors in his venture. Where do I sign up?

In a new twist, ebay auctions are being set up as a launching pad for more scams using Western Union. It's about time that people begin to realize that if someone asks you to wire them money, especially with Western Union (who does virtually nothing to help people who have been scammed using their resources), you should just say no. Stop using Western Union.

Doesn't it seem more likely if the image was legit it would be Lot's wife? It's nice to know that God thinks the world is in such great shape he has time to manifest "miracles" of this nature.
