Don’t Buy: Decades Being Back

So the 90’s are SO back. Oops, or wait, am I way too late? I can’t be, because after we did the 70’s and 80’s, there’s nowhere else to turn for two more years.
Wouldn’t it be more fun to bring back one anachronistic consumer good at a time? Like the MiniDisc player. The poor, completely irrelevant MD player, which [...]

Don’t Buy: Sarah Palin

Ever since John McCain announced Alaska governor Sarah Palin as his running mate on Friday, I’ve been going crazy trying to find as much information about her as possible.  The public has very little knowledge of her, and if things stay that way, it could actually be a boon to the Repubs.  Right now she [...]

Buy: Gen Y Appreciation

(Gen Y’s: Don’t Fear Us!!)
This is no surprise. I am a Gen Y and as such, I love to be appreciated. What is a Gen Y exactly? Well, there seems to be a lot of debate around that, but let me just quote Wikipedia and move on. (After all, that’s what Gen Y’s do.)
Generation Y [...]

Don’t Buy: ‘Holograms’ trying to sell me cheap Chinese crap

Hop on your hoverboards, the future is here! Thank you Best Buy, for saving me from a lifetime of 20th century technology. And at such great prices, too. How did I hear about the sale? Oh, your nifty little ‘hologram’ in the hallway lured me in.
Best Buy, WTF. First of [...]

Don’t Buy: John McCain knows how to work the Google

HEADLINE McCain to Obama: Search This!

The power of AdWords isn’t lost on the GOP. Amazing to think that a party who have selected a dinosaur as their Presidential Candidate have managed to latch on to a relatively successful way to reach potential undecideds. Search terms “Joe Biden,” “Biden and Obama,” “Housing Crisis,” and “U.S. Economy” [...]

Don’t Buy: Animal Sexuality

I love Orangina. It’s my favorite beverage not named ‘Pineapple Juice.’ That said, look at their new advert and tell me it doesn’t creep the shit out of you:

As child advocate Claude Knights told The Telegraph:
The almost sinister portrayal of animals in an animation style filled with sexual innuendo leads to very mixed and confused [...]

Buy: Michelle Obama

Michelle Obama is not Condoleezza Rice.
I just thought I’d get that out of the way, because I know a lot of you will say they have the same haircut.

NOT TRUE! Michelle’s hair was all kinds of did last night at the Democratic National Convention. I’ve never seen such sheen radiate from Condoleezza’s [...]

Don’t Buy: Lack of Alien Theories

About a month ago, water was found on Mars. Not just remains of water, but actual water. Water that could potentially support some kind of life. Yippee Skippee. And now that we know, we can finish destroying this planet and have a planet covered in rust to move on to, I was expecting more than [...]

Don’t Buy: Cult Classic Remakes

First: go watch The Rocky Horror Picture Show… done?  Okay.  Now go watch Poltergeist (1-3). Done?  Good.
You may be asking why I made you jump through those hoops just to read this post. Well, those two film favorites are going to be ruined within the next five years. Savor them while you can…
Because MTV is [...]

Don’t Buy: Açai Berries

I don’t think açai berries even existed until six months ago.  That’s when I first heard about them, and if even ONE of the benefits that this superfruit supposedly has is true, there’s no way it would have been a secret for this long.  Basically the açai berry got a really good publicist, and now [...]
