I Hate Fox and ESPN Announcers

There is nothing more annoying than trying to watch a baseball game with FOX or ESPN announcers. They are the most biased idiots around, and really get on my nerves. This weekend during the Yankees/ Red Sox games, the two morons on ESPN (Jon Miller and Joe Morgan) would always scream with excitement whenever Boston players hit or scored. However, the times the Yankees did something interesting, they would be nonchalant and just talk as if it were no big deal. “OMG. BASE HIT!! LOOK AT ORTIZ!!! HE’S A YANKEE KILLER” vs “Oh, look at that home run over there by Cano. How nice.” When the Yankees beat Boston 14-5, ESPN picked a Manny Ramirez home run as the play of the game. With all of the crazy Yankee hitting, the most important, best hit ever was Manny. Give me a break.

No I’m not a whining Yankee fan. I just want to hear unbiased announcers for both sides. If you want to yell at a hit, do it for both teams – that’s the point. Even the YES announcers (on a channel dedicated towards the Yankees) are less biased and show some excitement towards the other team.

Save the Internet – Net Neutrality

Today, I am going to teach you all about a controversial issue of the current internet – Network Neutrality…

Congress is pushing a law that would abandon the Internet’s First Amendment — a principle called Network Neutrality that prevents companies like AT&T, Verizon and Comcast from deciding which Web sites work best for you — based on what site pays them the most. If the public doesn’t speak up now, our elected officials will cave to a multi-million dollar lobbying campaign.

This defeats the purpose of the internet. These big companies want to control internet traffic. How does this apply to ordinary people? Well, if Congress gets their way, companies can censor the internet, kind of like China does. For instance, they can allow fast access to websites that are advertisers, and slow down access to competitor sites. This can lead to a tiered internet. What do I mean by tiered? Well, think of your cable company. You buy packages with channels in them. Without Net Neutrality, your internet can become tiered. It will be awful just think. Do I get google with that package? For $20 more, I can get cnn.com? This is more proof that big business is controlling the United States with all of their money and it’s nonsense. What do redneck Texas hicks know about technology? Nothing, they just see green going into their political party.

Fireworks Should Not Be Illegal

What is the point of making fireworks illegal? I listened to the police radio for five minutes and almost threw up. The police wouldn’t shut up about sending cars to different locations for fireworks. Guess what? It’s the Fourth of July and no one gives a shit. Supposedly, New York made them illegal because too many people were injuring themselves. This is nonsense. If you hurt yourself on fireworks, it is because you’re a dumbass and lit a 2 inch fuse or forgot to run away. Even those sparklers are illegal, which is the dumbest thing ever. It doesn’t even blow up and is no more dangerous than a flame. Actually since it’s magnesium, its much brighter and hotter, but its the same crap. Why not just ban fire?

Why should I be banned from making a nice display and celebrating the 4th, because some stupid ass blew his balls off? When something is banned, people do it more, so there’s no point anyway. When I was in Virginia, I passed hundreds of little shacks along the side of the road selling fireworks. It was insane. You don’t hear those southern fools having any problems (other than rednecks, cotton and shotguns).

Mmm…Mercury

First off, if I wanted to eat mercury, I’d suck on a broken thermometer, but I don’t appreciate getting it from my food. Tuna + mercury = dead brain cells which makes you stupid, and mercury also causes birth defects. I don’t care if the government sets safe mercury limits in food for people. How about this – no mercury in my food is safe mercury. So no tuna (or swordfish, or whatever else is infected with mercury) for me. And these stupid ass pharmaceutical companies need to stop putting it into vaccines. I don’t care that your dumbass company wants to preserve it longer. You cheap fools are only concerned about profits and not about people. Stop giving kids autism and get that shit out of the vaccine.

Capitalism causes problems because all anyone sees is green… not what’s best for people. Why pay to dispose mercury properly when illegally dumping in the water is free? Instead of fining these corporations, we should take the people responsible and drown them in their mercury wastes. Why make vaccines last only for a few months when we can give them a shelf life of two years? Money is the answer – and it’s the wrong answer.

This post is designed to publicly humiliate a moron who registered three accounts on my website. These accounts have been registered by the same idiot: will – [email protected], willm – [email protected] and willmo – [email protected] Is there any need to have three different accounts on a stupid little blog?

Even though publishing these email addresses is probably useless (because anyone can make a fake yahoo account), I am doing this to prove that I will expose private information if you are a spamming asshole. Usually, the email addresses are not visible to the public, but I would like to personally acknowledge the fact that this pimp shizzle gangsta moron shouldn’t mess with Portfolioso. The accounts have been deleted and if the registration process continues to be abused, I’m disabling it.
