Worst Call in the History of Baseball – Jim Joyce Should Be Hanged


Armando Galaraga was one out away from a perfect game. He would have had it – the last out was a routine ground ball, but blind idiot umpire Jim Joyce called Indians shortstop Jason Donald safe, even though he was clearly out by two feet.
Umpire Jim Joyce pretty much ruined this kid’s life. It’s a once in a lifetime opportunity blown. Jim Joyce shouldn’t just lose his job over this. He should receive the death penalty. Actually fuck that, it’s too humane. He should be stoned to death outside the baseball hall of fame.

According to Adam Schefter’s Twitter: “Oops. If I’m Bud Selig, I award the first 28-out perfect game in baseball history to Armando Galaraga. Selig would be right – and applauded.”

MLB umpires suck ass and need to get their shit together. If this keeps it up, I’m giving up baseball.

If you get run over following Google’s walking directions, you deserve to die


A Utah woman used Google Maps’ walking directions on her Blackberry and was given directions to walk onto a highway. She got hit and is now suing Google for damages. –Fortune

People who sue Google because they get run over by a car while following walking directions deserve to die. Period. What you don’t do is live and then sue Google. Can’t this idiot see the HUGE warning disclaimer that the directions are in beta and to use caution? Apparently not. Besides, what pedestrian walks on a highway? I don’t care if Google told me to jump off a cliff – you need to pay attention to your surroundings. It’s like that fucking idiot who followed his GPS onto railroad tracks, then bitched when he got hit by a train. If Google loses this lawsuit, I’m going to kill a kitten.

Social Darwinism – if you are too stupid to pay attention, we don’t want your genes on this planet.


BP is Retarded, and so is Top Kill


I never use the word retarded. It is plain offensive. I would never use it to describe anyone with an intellectual disability. But in this case, BP is fucking retarded.

So Top Kill failed to plug this oil well. I decided to do a little research on the actual procedure and found this on Wikipedia:

BP tried to shut down the well completely using a technique called “top kill”. The process involves pumping heavy drilling fluids through two 3-inch (7.6 cm) lines into the blowout preventer that sits on top of the wellhead.

Please explain to me how pumping heavy mud and concrete through two 3-inch pipes would be enough to stop a well that is leaking 5,000 barrels (210,000 US gal) per day. No wonder it failed. The blowout preventor didn’t even work anyway, so you’re going to pump mud through it? Common sense here folks… I could have a three year old tell you that wouldn’t work.

The world will end by 2012 guaranteed. So start looting, doing whatever you want whenever you want and living it up. Enjoy.


Gaming Controllers Suck


You know what sucks? Gaming on a PS3 or Xbox 360. For the life of me, I cannot use the damn controllers for first person shooters. There are two knobs, it’s impossible to get the target where I need it to go. But when I’m using a mouse and keyboard – clutch. It just works.

Here is a clip from today’s Opie & Anthony show – they are arguing about it. And the dude who plays on keyboard makes 100% sense:

Germany Bans Unencrypted WiFi. Really Now?


BERLIN – Germany’s top criminal court ruled Wednesday that Internet users need to secure their private wireless connections by password to prevent unauthorized people from using their Web access to illegally download data. Internet users can be fined up to euro100 ($126) if a third party takes advantage of their unprotected WLAN connection to illegally download music or other files, the Karlsruhe-based court said in its verdict.

Fuckin’ A, Germany. I mean, you’re all cool and shit with your bratwurst and beer, but this law is absolutely absurd.

Really now? You’re going to fine people for not securing their WiFi? That’s like fining people for not locking their homes and cars. If you don’t lock up your shit and someone robs you blind, it is YOUR problem. Same with your internet.

But you get these lawmakers who don’t understand computers and have these RIAA/MPAA representatives putting their balls all over their faces saying “ZOMG, if people don’t secure their WiFi, people can download music on other people’s networks and get away with it, so lets fine them.”

I’m pretty sure it doesn’t work like that. If I stole someone’s bike because they didn’t chain it to a pole, then used it to rob a store and flee, you shouldn’t be fining the person who didn’t lock the bike up. Same concept.

Second of all, anyone and their mother’s breast implants can hack into WEP networks, that’s how insecure it is. OK maybe WPA is better, but if the average Joe is too dumb to secure his router, he will most definitely have no fucking idea what WEP or WPA is.

Once again, worry about bigger problems, not stupid bullshit like this.
