The more things change

damninteresting.com has an interesting article about the tragic creation of FM radio. It explains how a brilliant inventor was cheated out of profit and patents by the US government and vested wealthy interests in AM radio. The same sort of corruption is currently happening with various RIAA's/CRIA's, MPAA's and the like trying to get copyright laws passed to maintain their portfolios for infinity. Those who don't remember history, doomed to repeat it? Yes.

Dove Soap

Apparently Dove Soap makes you hideously ugly. Other soap commercials have people who look decent, but Dove has the ugliest people .. I was flipping through channels and there was some annoying woman giving really stupid motivational talks. Apparently it had something to do with Dove soap. Therefore, Dove soap makes you ugly and stupid and annoying to listen to. And even moreso, why would anyone want to listen to this shit? Ugh. Yes, nobody is perfect, but ugly people should be locked up in the attic and fed fish heads.

Damaged Bus Shelters

The city of Winnipeg sees a lot of damaged bus shelters in a year. This is based on my own visual presumption of how many I see a month. I have a solution to their problem. There will be far fewer damaged bus shelters if Winnipeg Transit ACTUALLY PUTS OUT ENOUGH BUSES FOR PEOPLE TO GET WHERE THEY'RE GOING! I swear. Every single route you take, if you want to transfer, you JUST MISSED YOUR BUS AND ANOTHER WON'T COME FOR 20-60 MINUTES!!! Which wouldn't be so bad once in a while, but EVERY TIME? It makes me want to break every single window in the bus shack.
