Your hotel remote may be covered in semen and urine {Gadling}
May 15th 2009 5:08PM When traveling the first thing I do when I get off the plane is:
Go to store and buy huge can of Lysol, Paper Towels, Cups, Toothpaste, Shampoo (stupid ass airline rules....).
THen when I go to my hotel I put a pair of disposable rubber gloves I bring with me and I spray everything, and I mean EVERYTHING in the hotel room.
The air conditioning vents, lightswitches, phones, toilet, shower, sink, tv remote, everything. I wait 10 min for the Lysol to do its job. I then wipe everything with the gloves on, and when I am done, I throw the gloves away.
Sorry, but I don't want some strangers skank on me.

Cablevision's probable VOOM HD replacement channels: they're all premiums {Engadget HD}
Jan 20th 2009 4:26AM You can tell I am pissed huh? ;)
No way in hell will I pay for any of the channels that replaced the Voom channels, mainly Monsters HD and Animania HD.
Come to think of it, HBO and any other "replacement" channel will get nothing but bad press from me and my friends.
Same goes for Crapplevision, I mean Cablevision.

The idiots at Cablevision who owned Voom/ MonstersHD, Animania, and other cool Voom channels shut them off tonight at 1am Eastern.
For MosntersHD, I was watching [i]Child's Play [/i] this am/late evening, and at about 1:15am the screen went blank right in the middle of the film. WTF?
What inconsiderate jerk offs Cablevision is.
What ever happened to the your choice and the a la carte supposed features of Cablevision/IO?
I would gladly pay a few extra bucks a month for Monsters HD. It was the best channel I have ever had.
Uncut, commercial free. Horror and Sci Fi in HD. HD specials and behind the scenes. What more could you ask for?
Now Cablevsision is shoving crap in it's place. No thank you.
I am going to cancel Cablevision. They don't give a crap about their subscribers.

Jul 28th 2007 3:23PM You've got to love it when a BILLION dollar company, Ford,(and others, plane tickets, clothes, food, jewelry, etc), GIVES Big ticket items to celebrities and multi-millionares for FREE.
Those folks can AFFORD to buy the items 100 times a day, yet these stupid companies GIVE them the stuff. Yea, that makes me want to buy crap from Ford, sure. What idiots.

Apr 12th 2007 6:40PM Hmmm,Including Jessie Jackson who called New York "HymieTown",yet he was not fired,and Isaiah Washington referring to a fellow "Greys Anatomy" cast member with the"F" word on MORE than ONE occasion,and he was not fired,and he was given an "Image" award by the NAACP AFTER making his bigoted comments(Some Image),Let's see what Al Sharpton is all about.....
1987: Sharpton spreads the incendiary Tawana Brawley hoax, insisting heatedly that a 15-year-old black girl was abducted, raped, and smeared with feces by a group of white men. He singles out Steve Pagones, a young prosecutor. Pagones is wholly innocent -- the crime never occurred -- but Sharpton taunts him: "If we're lying, sue us, so we can . . . prove you did it." Pagones does sue, and eventually wins a $345,000 verdict for defamation. To this day, Sharpton refuses to recant his unspeakable slander or to apologize for his role in the odious affair.
1991: A Hasidic Jewish driver in Brooklyn's Crown Heights section accidentally kills Gavin Cato, a 7-year-old black child, and antisemitic riots erupt. Sharpton races to pour gasoline on the fire. At Gavin's funeral he rails against the "diamond merchants" -- code for Jews -- with "the blood of innocent babies" on their hands. He mobilizes hundreds of demonstrators to march through the Jewish neighborhood, chanting, "No justice, no peace." A rabbinical student, Yankel Rosenbaum, is surrounded by a mob shouting "Kill the Jews!" and stabbed to death.
1995: When the United House of Prayer, a large black landlord in Harlem, raises the rent on Freddy's Fashion Mart, Freddy's white Jewish owner is forced to raise the rent on his subtenant, a black-owned music store. A landlord-tenant dispute ensues; Sharpton uses it to incite racial hatred. "We will not stand by," he warns malignantly, "and allow them to move this brother so that some white interloper can expand his business." Sharpton's National Action Network sets up picket lines; customers going into Freddy's are spat on and cursed as "traitors" and "Uncle Toms." Some protesters shout, "Burn down the Jew store!" and simulate striking a match. "We're going to see that this cracker suffers," says Sharpton's colleague Morris Powell. On Dec. 8, one of the protesters bursts into Freddy's, shoots four employees point-blank, then sets the store on fire. Seven employees die in the inferno.
If Sharpton were a white skinhead, he would be a political leper, spurned everywhere but the fringe. But far from being spurned, he is shown much deference. Democrats embrace him. Politicians court him. And journalists report on his comings and goings while politely sidestepping his career as a hate mongering racial hustler.
When Sharpton came to Boston to promote his campaign last week, for example, the news coverage was uniformly upbeat. The Boston Herald noted the "joyous singing and thunderous applause" that greeted the "civil rights leader," whose "energetic visit left many enthusiastic about his presidential bid." The Globe announced the arrival of "the colorful and controversial 48-year-old community activist" with a story listing the places and times of his public appearances. The only allusion to his ugly record was a vague quote from a local minister: "He obviously has a lot of history and controversy to overcome." That was quickly countered by Sharpton's own self-description as a man known "for my fights against racial profiling and discrimination."
Well, that isn't what Steve Pagones or the family of Yankel Rosenbaum or the loved ones of those who were burned alive at Freddy's Fashion Mart know him for. As they can testify, Sharpton is a vicious liar and a dangerous bigot. As a matter of moral hygiene, his party and the press should be able to say so, too.
