GOOD Jews avoid pork because it's unclean - I for one think that it tastes amazing. And for the future, I thank you for avoiding these hurtful stereotypes about Jews following Jewish laws.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on McCain: Obama is "Touchy" and "Angry"]]> The sad thing is... the whole 'secret Muslim' line of attack was working - They should never have abandoned that.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Mugen PeriPeri Toy Makes It Feel Like the First Time, Over and Over and Over]]> That commercial only perpetuates stereotypes that Japan is %$*#ing awesome.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on HTC Touch Diamond Pops Up in Seven Colors]]> HTC - The word you are looking for is 'red.'

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Walmart Unwittingly Sells iPod Nano Knockoff as Actual iPod]]> Rawr, Snarl, Knee-Jerk Walmart Criticism!

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Sleazy Pornographer Is Unfortunately A First Amendment Martyr]]> This is a very slippery slope, lest we forget that a majority of Florida jurors also find two dudes making out to be obscene.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on VP Debates, Rickrolled]]> You know why I don't put any faith in the whole 'energized youth' voting block? Because they treat the whole thing like one big joke and 60% of college age voters won't bother to request/fill out/mail back an absentee ballot.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Giz Looking for Gallery Space in NYC]]> You should rent the New Museum in the lower east side... it would be a nice change for something worth seeing to be there.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Chuck Palahniuk's Sad <i>Choke</i> Contest]]> From a strictly literary standpoint, this is a bad idea because Chuck has never written a character that isn't utterly deplorable - I don't think anyone wants to be immortalized in his book knowing there's a 80% chance that they will be forever associated with a pedophile, junkie, thief, con artist or other miscreant.

From a more general standpoint, this is a bad idea.

That said - having been to a Palahniuk book reading/signing, his fans are rabid and show up in costume for a f***ing book reading. And in huge swarms. So this promotional stunt will be a success.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Mahatma, Nelson, And Dalai Have Decided To Chill]]> These ads do nothing but perpetuate unhealthy body images for young civil rights icons.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Google's World-Saving Clean Energy Plan Costs $4.4 Trillion, Dramatically Shrinks Google's Power Bill]]> Any plan that bases assumptions on a decrease in demand (especially a 33% decrease) is inherently flawed.

You can't get most people to turn off a light in a room they aren't using - as a matter of fact, there is a whole industry of home security products that will make sure your lights turn on when you're not there.

It's all about more bang for the buck, not doing more with less.

Now back to my plan -- Gigantic f***ing nuclear plant on the entire surface of the moon and one big extension cord.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Are We Prepared For A Celebrity Designer Who Doesn't Suck (Conventionally)?]]> It raises an important question though... given suspenders, brimmed caps, and vests, how has hipster wardrobe culture taken so long to co-opt knee-high socks and pantaloons?

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on 'Times' Presents Every Quotable Demographic's Opinion On Bailout Bill]]> From the reports I have seen, albinos are supportive of the plan.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on SimpleTech Duo Pro: 4 Interfaces, 3 Terabytes, 2 Drives, 1 Happy Nerd]]> Can I trust all my important data to a HD that can't even spell 'RESET' right?

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Guess We Were Right to Rent Instead of Buy After All]]> I think we have the same landlord, Sheila...

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Let's Get Rid Of This Whole 'Bro' Idea, Shall We?]]> I'm not your bro, guy!

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Our Advertisers Have Suspended Their Ad Campaigns]]> True Blood is wonderful - I have enjoyed every episode I have illegally downloaded... but you know what HBO, you cut my department out of your budget, so %*#* you.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Read These Stories to Figure Out What's Going On]]> McCain REALLY doesn't want to do this debate.
This is just like the time I burned down my house to get out of a math quiz.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on iPod Taking Some of the Blame for Problems with Metallica's 'Death Magnetic']]> Can I just go ahead and make the obvious joke that is sounds like shit because its a Metallica album?

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on This Child Harness Warrants No Safety Concerns At All]]> This is why China is so successful - Their best and brightest are sifted from the rabble in a darwinian series of childhood death traps; while we in America make sure the stragglers keep pace by sticking a leash on them when we go to the mall.

(We can parse the difference between the ROC and PROC later... my joke still stands.)

That is all. Thank you for your help.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on 'Little Seiko' Unicycling Robot Looks Like EVE Before She Learned to Hover]]> I am totally %*#(ing creeped out.

It's like some evil ghost jumped out of an anime move, took over a robot and is now intent to consume my soul for sustenance. Way to doom us all, Japan.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Israel Deploys Crowd Control Skunk Bomb for the First Time]]> There's no mention of if/how quickly the crowd dispersed.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Question of the Day: Can Advertising Really Help Make Microsoft "Hip?"]]> Not even Microsoft wants Microsoft to be hip - even in these 'rebranding' ads, they are making damn sure to remind people that Microsoft is for doing business. How many people in that ad talk about how they use their PC for their job?

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Sprint's Xohm WiMax Service Delayed Again, Possibly]]> This is the most exciting thing I'll never have since FiOS!

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on First Historic Image of Planet 3106 Trillion Miles From Earth]]> If that scale is to be believed, the planet is less than an inch away from the star - how is that far away?

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Lenovo Thinkpad X200 Tablet, 12 Inches of Touchtasticness]]> Have we developed a useful business practice for touchscreens yet?

No? Just checking...

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Palin Email "Hack" Was Hardly a Hack at All]]> Now, admitedly, we Giz-readers are probably a little more tech savvy than most - but isn't the fact she used Yahoo to conduct ANY sort of government communication a sign of poor decision making? I mean, I book concerts for a living and even our e-mails are jam packed with reminders that every word we write is confidential and never to be shared. It never once crossed anyone's mind that 'Hey, this probably isn't the best way to plan political strategy and legislation?'

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on Lady Says "Tits" On Fox]]> Oh... I am SO sending them hate mail. They need to go to prison for that.

]]> <![CDATA[Hiphopopotamus commented on <i>Gawker</i> Should Be Imprisoned Forever, Says Everyone Except Lawyers]]> I am shocked and dismayed to see that Ryan Tate was one of the people writing hate mail... No good sir, YOU are the slime ball.

Stay classy, America.
