Desert Media Storm

Wow, its been a while. I really didn't think anything would compel me to write again. But I really think this needs to be adressed and its subject matter will never make it to the media because it is the media. Ponder this

Iraq is a war zone. A war zone. Sadfully we are all hooked to watching "imbedded journalists" reporting from the front lines. Newspaper clippings, youtube footage,...any media outlet we can get our hands on. I don't want a body count assholes, I would rather you list them one by one but then again I wouldn't get any corporate sponsorship if i didn't flash numbers and stats. I bet that foxnews and cnn hope the war lasts indefinitly because war is big business. Its alot easier to hook people into watching your program (sadly) in times of war and conflict than in times of peace. Oh I forgot to tell you, television is just a way to deliver adds by putting together 20 minute segments of fascinating cliffhangers that hold you in your seat long enough to hard-sell you shit you don't need. Thats how the media works. It's pretty simple. Still not convinced see holiday sales strategies. Anyways back to good looking journalist majors with compromised morals, these reporters basically just get in the fucking way and state nothing but the obvious. Armed with a tv crew, microphone, and the knowledge that they will sleep in a hotel that night these fuck ass's fumble around looking for ways to make their platoon more vulnerable. This is a typical phrase of one of these assholes, im so sure that some dickhead said this that i will probably get sued for plagirism.

"Well all 10 of us are out of ammo and pinned down 10 miles south east of bahgdad and we will be here for atleast another 3 days. Our gps coordinates are --- --- and the comanders family lives in a house without a bulglar alarm. I must also tell you that have called in a missle attack to the town below tomorrow at 17:00 hours sharpe unless they destroy the aircraft carrier that is located 3 miles off the coast, the main deck door is locked but the combinations is 1234 and if you turn right after the chow hall you will find the captain's room where he usually is there between 13:00 - 15:00 hours and the rumor is he will call off any mission if he is captured and held for ransom. This is ---- signing off live from 50 yards past the last palm tree on the horizon if you were looking east from bahgdad."




These embedded journalists had the time of their lives riding in the back of this truck. Sources close to the 2 parties heard them say "can we do it again" after their ride was over.

Why are they giving away their location, why are they like just fucking around in iraq. The worst is when you see pictures of the taliban, al-queda, or wanted terrorist leaders and like the U.S. can't find them but barbara walters is like interviewing them the next day or some asshole is like taking pictures of them......shoot at them, either that or you have no business interacting with them when others are dying to get that close to them.....literally.



He stopped 2 tanks with his good looks




This chick battled al-queda all day on the microphone with freestyle rymes that left the terrorists shook.



This journalist totally spammed all the terrorists and defriended all the rest on myspace. Ouch!



That is actually a book of difficult suduku puzzles and the helicopter is actually a helicopter


I mean who am i to say that this job isn't a dangerous one.....for the troops. Like are people in a war that are fighting for their lives and some asshole is drinking lemodane with a bullet proof vest of leisurly taking photographs and complaining about lack of variety for backdrops. These people are putting the troops in harms way. This really isn't up for debate...they give out locations and whatever info to tell a story. P.S. This isn't a story, this is real. If you really want to be a reporter stay out of Iraq, I get the Springfield Republican every day and it is the worst newspaper ever made. Please if you are a talented journalist please just write for them. Don't go to iraq and put others lives in danger. Don't make war the new reality TV. And please don't do it to sell comerical slots.

Im so passed blogging

I get it, it doesn't work....Nothing I do or say on this website will ever really sway anyones convictions. This wont make you a better person....this wont help you really act differently. Im not trying to control you, thats not me nudging you, its something else. Its the holy spirit...working in you, working in me, seriously, stop being the person you don't want to be...just stop....stop. Skip the cliches, i will, cliches are for movies and are unprovocative. provocative enough to stand the test of time however not provocative enough for people to do anything other than just repeat them over and over. I have always kept this website raw, unspellchecked, and unedited cause thats life. Raw emotion. One person once told me that they could picture me saying all these words, like i was directly talking to them just becuase of how raw I was, how straight from the heart I came. They could just picture me droping this....close your eyes....can you see it? I've done a lot of stuff that I'm not proud of in my life but one thing i can say that i tried to do is influence others to do good, do good with what you have been blessed with. The most mondane shit is a blessing to those who would die for it. Do something original , be bold, whats your gift to the world, honestly? Cause you haven't shown me anything. Im one person, insignificant in so many ways, with faith that God has a plan for me...that me, as insignificant as I am....I'm a spark....This blog is a spark...was always meant to be a spark...for the smallest of sparks can create the greatest of flames. That is motivation....that is inspiration...that is why i did this for years...I was hoping to be a spark that would ignite others to change, to do good, to think for yourself, to do what was right...not right for you....but right in the eyes of God...the God who has stood by you even when you rebeled against him. Sorry too deep...well...there is always non-reality. Im keeping this short, I've already said goodbye once so the 2nd time wouldn't be so hard. Seriously, people need you....if you feel you have no place in the world....people need you...you are so important. Shit i mean join the peace corp. Your life has no meaning...imagine someone who is fighting for a life that at best will have no meaning....and you are their only hope...yet you just flip the channel and think that you would rather spend 80 cents a day on insert material item that someone in some foreign country will die over the fact that you would rather have it then save then......welcome back the holy spirit ....it never left you. It was there all along...to convict you of your sins. To inspire. I can only hope to be a spark...to the flame that burns inside you....to what you know is right. As an RA at Umass amherst I focused a lot on community support, whether it was support for friends or support for those in need. The greatest gift you have to give to another person is your love. For all my friends, former residents, people who read this blog....help those in need, not because you have to but because you want to, not because i ask you to but because God asks you to, not because you are established but because you are humbled. And truly I too may be humbled by your efforts as i was knowing that others carried on in traditions that I started at Umass in my dormitory in order to benefit others. It had nothing to do with me and i take no credit, dont remember the spark, remember the flame it ignited. I'll say it again....and I will leave you with this....Don't remember the spark...remember the flame that it ignighted.

I want to leave you with a quote from the bible that may suprise some people...i just hope that as obscure as this quote is, it will give you the faith that truly those who seek forgiveness are saved. I hope you like this one. I mean it. Jesus is for the sinners of the world. Just like you and me. And he has never left my side.

Matthew 21:31 . . . Jesus said to them, ‘I tell you the truth, the tax collectors and the prostitutes are entering the kingdom of God ahead of you. (32) For John came to you to show you the way of righteousness, and you did not believe him, but the tax collectors and the prostitutes did. And even after you saw this, you did not repent and believe him.

7320 people have viewed this page since it started....thank you...I mean it

May you find it in yourself to ask for forgiveness and accept the lord as your savior. God Bless you all...Thanks for the memories...and lets all keep each other in our prayers.

She's just not that into you

Ok, its a plauge. Why is it that everytime i go out to a club or bar i always find several guys that just don't get it. They just don't. And some never will. That beautiful girl in the corner of the room talking to her friend doesn't like you and never will no matter how hard you try. When ever a girl walks into anywhere they scan the place for girl competition. Here is some more information about girl competition.


When ever more than one girl is involved in anything there is competition and it could be in 1 of these several categories

(A) prettiness
(B) cute shoes
(C) clothing
(D) attention

Webster's defines girl competition as : an discrete display of shallowness and self-interest aimed at securing channels to draw attention through

However girls will hide this and take out their frustration by calling guys the more competitive sex. False.

So tying this into the point of my story....She's just not that into you. Don't fall for it. She won't like you anymore if you buy her a drink, atleast in a sexual way. Thats probably the dumest move ever because you're dumping money into a risky investment. The whole time you should have invested in real estate....exactly...through not giving a shit about girls you can totally work your way to the bar and get great seats away from all the attention hoarding bar groupies. You and your friends can just get wasted and be content with the fact that you probably weren't going to get laid tonight anyways. u can just drink and watch sports on mute. If you have any intrigue about u, your unique demeanor should attract a few girls anyways, ones not there to get partake in the popularity contest happening a few barstools down.


These guys paid 20 dollars each for her to act interested

And beware of a girl out with her friends, ok we know that girls pee in groups (fucking odd) but did you know that they also think in groups. Let me tell you that it takes a lot more girls to change a light bulb then just 2, i have seen it. Girls need assurance that they are infact right and must consult with other girls in "girl talk" before a decision about anything can be made. If you see a group of girls huddled together talking they are making a group decision about something. Oh and I've learned that women are not always correct however they are right in everything they say and do. Don't fight this or you will sleep on the couch. When ever she says anything stupid just nod and think about how awesome pretzels are. Either that or change the subject.

Don't get me wrong, girls are great...once you come to the understanding that some are just unobtainable.

The best is when I see some idiots just like totally patronizing some goodlooking girl. The ultimate is when guys think they have a chance with the hot female bartender. Dude, u have no chance what so ever....ever. You shouldn't even tip her, seriously, how hard will this girl ever have to work for anything in her life honestly....don't tip her! Yeah so she can't pay rent, dude, trust me, it wouldn't be hard for her to find a bed to sleep in....don't feel bad.


THESE GIRLS DONT CARE ABOUT YOUR FEELINGS

And guys pay attention, this is huge...when ever there is a group of girls around and they need something they will always send the prettiest one out to manipulate and deceive her way into getting whatever she wants. I remember these girls once needed a ride somewhere way out of the way. The girls made the prettiest girl come up to me and my friend and ask us to take them home...she was all like batting her eye lashes and being all flirty. We never broke. We were so uninterested in her bullshit. We knew the drill. This girl looked like she wanted to cry cause she pulled out all her ticks and we never budged. To finish her, we told her the number to a local cab company. I mean yeah i would fall for that when i was like 17, 18 and i would think that by being nice to girls that they would in turn like me...nope. So sorry ladies, we are onto your tricks... True story..I actually told this story to a girl and she had a nervous look on her face because she knew that i was onto something as to how women operate. Like it was scary how nervous she looked. Girls just want to live life like a tampax commercial...think about it, they always show women just in some convertable like laughing and smiling together and doing something moderately liberating that they are all making a big deal over. There are no guys in the commercial and if there are, they are there as a prop so that some girl can outsmart them and laugh about it with her girlfriends


Women Drivers: a dangerous combination

Ladies, i know this may seem like a women bashing blog. False. This blog is intended to protect men from making stupid mistakes by thinking with our dicks and not our brains. If you were a guy then you would know that going up to a girl is terrifying. Like sheer terror. You would never in a million years convince me that it is scarier for a girl to go up to a guy. It's just not possible. So guys need to tone it down with the cockyness. I think girls would agree. Since I don't see guys toning down their cockyness anytime soon I just wanted to point out that a lot of great guys sit at the end of the bar; away from the crowd, away from the popularity contest, and sit content knowing that they have more respect for women then to just force a suggestive conversation in hopes of taking you home. Im just saying that as im sure you ladies know by now, there truly are very few decent guys left..I mean truly decent guys and why should their be...when you girls fall so easily for the assholes.




THIS GIRL WILL NEVER LIKE YOU

A Twist on a Classic Repost

A profile for the ladies:
Its a damn shame that romance died so that MTV could have spring break and everyone could hook up with each other. I know that guys are a major let down, but i mean girls too have their regrets. Its just such a shame that girls regrets are not going after the guy they truly know is right for them. Why wont a girl just go up to a guy and be like "i love you damn it!, i 've always loved you, i've never felt more at home than i do when im with you, you may not feel the same way about me but im willing to give up everything i hold dear just to have one chance to prove to you that i've made up my mind, losing you is better than never knowing if i could have had you my love"... A guys football would instantly deflate and he would then have to marry you. Guys want girls with balls, just not literally. So make the moves ladies, its not like you haven’t done it 300 times over in your head already.

Dont end up like this:





This girl didn't take my advice and the boy of her dreams fell in love with her best friend.


Playing hard to get will land you a player, ever notice? Real men like real women. Ladies, dont be an idiot and play games. Be true to the man you want and sweep him off his feet. Be irresistable and upfront to him. A beautiful girl that is upfront and knows what she wants: That isn't playing hard to get, that is hard to get. And what man could resist that.

Brian Finnigan was awesome at college.

Brian Finnigan was better at college than anyone in the world. Ok thats a bold statement but I went to college for 5 years and I never once met anyone that even came close to partying as hard as Brian...I have never met anyone in my life that has ever come close...like even remotely close. I get wasted. I have had some wild times.
http://ryanmcbride.blogspot.com/2004/10/it-was-best-of-times-it-was-worst-of.html

http://ryanmcbride.blogspot.com/2004/12/accomplishments.html

But nothing I have ever seen or heard about compares to Brian.
Brian was my 21 year old roomate freshman year at Champlain College in Burlington, VT. I also had 2 other roomates that were budding prospects of Brian just waiting to get their wings. Everything I have ever learned about college. I learned from Brian Finnigan. This page is dedicated to the man, the myth, the legend...Brian Finnigan. Brian was a 6 foot 4 tall and lengthy Irish kid with a shaved head for southie..(south boston) Like you don't understand, right now I have such a huge responsibility to do this kid the justice that he deserves that I have waited years to write this blog just so i could get it perfect. Here is a summary of how much better Brian was than your best friend that you think can outdrink anyone. We lived in the top peak of that building above. Summit house. Top floor. Top of the campus. Top of Burlington. How suiting for the story.




-Brian ordered all of us to remove our desks from the room so that we could have more space to party. We left one desk for "Atmosphere" he called it.

-He made a nerd splice some cable wires so that we got free cable and ordered the poor kid to do it for the rest of the building. As a reward Brian made fun of the kid's haircut.

-Brian smoked probably 2 packs of Newports a day. Keep in mind that he smoked in bed when he woke up and before he went to bed.

-Brain ordered all of us to go out and buy black sheets and create walls by pinning up the sheets in an elaborate manner across the room creating doors, hallways, and seperate rooms.

-Brian bought a home entertainment center that was 5 feet tall and told us that we had to throw all of our empty cigarette packs behind it untill it piled over the top.

-Brian taught me the "we" education principle. Here's how it goes, just refer to the teacher and yourself as we and use it against them. He would emphasis that the efforts that he put in were a diffect effect of the efforts of the teacher and how it looked poor on both their parts. He also then suggested that "they" take the test over. The rest is history. It also helped that he made friends with all of the board of directors of the school sheerly as a strategic move and had maintained these aliances since freshman year. Man, Brian had all the bases covered.

-He told our RA when to do rounds.

-We saved every bottle that we ever drank and once every month or so Brian would order us to throw them out the window in an event that he called "cleaning" Needless to say the next day there would be groundskeepers shoveling broken glass off the front lawn. Yes, they brought snow shovels to cleen up the glass. One time upwards of 40 empty bottles of jack daniels got thrown out the window.

-One time early one morning there was a loud racket from outside our window on the 4th floor. As it got louder i got out of bed and went to the window and i opened it and saw a man standing there with an axe. after i pissed myself, i told brian that there was a man with an axe on our roof outside our window. Brian said let it be and laid back down. The noise of the man with the axe chopping shingles off the roof got louder. Suddenly, Brian rose from bed as if possessed, lit a cigarette, stuck his head out the window and yelled at the top of his lungs "i hope you fall of the fucking roof" Then slammed the window shut. The noise stops. Brian finishes his cigarette and sleeps through all his classes and blames it on the teachers. Life goes on.

-Brian actually found 2 secret passageways in the building. One was a secret room...scale of 1 -10 in difficulty finding secret room in a college dorm...i'd give it a 6. Ok but then the second room that we found was actually above the ceiling pannels in the hallway above the bathroom that led to a tunnel to a secret room with an old chair in it. Difficulty of having the insight to punch out ceiling tiles and climb through the ceiling and down a tunnel to a secret room. I'd give that an 11. How he found this room no one but the room led to an area that we could drop in on anyones room on the floor so basically we just droped through the ceilings in peoples rooms when they were sleeping and scared the shit out of them. Ok lets try this again on a scary level.

1 =taxes are scarier
5 =mild fright
10 =vital signs fail

ok

Haunted hayride =6
That ugly asian girl from Gray's Anatomy= 5
Cemetary after dark = 7

Person screeming and yelling while falling through your ceiling in the middle of the night! =10

Seriously right now i am crying that i am laughing so hard because i can't believe how funny/cruel that was. Can you think of a funnier/Scarier prank, honestly, that must have been the funniest thing i have ever seen and or heard about. Nothing trumps the reactions it got. We went all out too, like crashing through ceiling tiles and all. Possibly the funniest thing I have ever witnessed but a close second is inflating an "Inflatable Jumpy Kingdom" in the lounge of our building at 3 AM and bouncing in it. I would like to give a shout out two 2 certain individuals for there help on that (CK and MH)

-Brian Invented the sexual position called the "coffee table" The man is behind the girl. She is bend over on her knees. (doggy style) You then put an ashtray and a beer and whatever you want on her back and basically use her as a coffee table while you are doing the damn thing.

-Brian once threw a 2 keg party in our dorm room. We had a 55 gallon trash barrel as our "trashcan" ok you know how in your dorm room you have like those little 5 gallon trash cans and recycle cans. Nope, those got thrown out the window day 1. hahah, i just remembered, Brian got so pissed one time that he tried throwning my desk chair out the window and since it wouldn't fit, he got more pissed and broke it into pieces and then threw the pieces out the window. Thats amazing. Anyways back to the story, so we didn't have a pussy trash can. We had a 55 gallon trash can. like the ones that like businesses use. He brought 2 kegs in those trash cans 1 in each can and we had a 2 keg party in our room and still kicked both kegs. We then got a ton of 30 packs and finished out the night. Amazing.

-One time Brian got arrested and made friends with the cop that arrested him at St. Michaels Univ. Brian then had the cop stop at 7-11 and get cigaretts and a slushie for him on his way to jail.

-Brian drank and smoked weed every day. No glory or fabrication. Dude did this every day like it was his job.

- Brian drank more than i have ever seen anyone drink in my life...here is why you should believe me. *my credentials*

-frat brother
-bartender for 4 years
-college for 5 years

Brian has drank more than anyone i have ever seen in my life...dude i would have put everything i have ever....no scratch that...i would have put my future earnings on the idea that my boy brian would outdrink anyone. It really can't be done, like ever, like your not getting this, Brian has done stuff that health science say are impossible and by impossible i mean cheating death on a large scale. Brians BAC has risen over levels that you go blind and your vital signs fail and has had conversations with me. It makes no sense yet perfect sense at the same time. I was taught my the best. Im sure of this. Anyone that knows me knows that in a small way I am a protege of Brian. Nowhere near the same legendary status as Bry but with the same ideals that college will be the best time of your life.

-If the liqour stores closed in VT. Brian would just go to CANADA to buy liquor. Yes, Brian would travel to other countries to buy liqour and illegally transport it across the border.

-Your still not getting this...Ok, my boy Brian...would get up in the morning, smoke a bunch of weed, and start drinking around 2 PM. He would drink bud light for hours (Brian had a firm belief that bud light was a quality beer and this is a belief that i still hold to this day and it is a direct tribute to Brian) Brian also was a huge Guiness fan an to share a Guinness with him was a honor. Honestly why even bother listing out what he drank, just know that it was basically infinity drinks. Towards the end of the night Brian would do something that seperates the men from the boys...ok, in no way am i supporting this but its worth mentioning because it makes your friend who you think could outdrink brian look like a pansy. Ok brian would then at like 4 AM when he was tired do coccain sheerly so he could have enough energy to stay up and keep drinking. Ok lets name a list of people who do hardcore drugs just so they can drink...not to do coccain to do coccain....but to do it just so they could stay up longer and drink...ok here is the list.

1. Brian Finnigan
2. Not your friend

oops there goes your friends chances...sorry


Anyways Brian also blew coke off my school desk. When Brian didn't have coke he crushed up ritalin.

-Brian once heard some guys talking about how "that girl over there way hot"...the girl infact was Brians girlfriend..Since the 2 guys didn't know that,Brian bet them that he could just go over there and without talking to her just kiss the girl and she would be fine with it. He bet them 20 dollars. They agreed. Brian went over and kissed his girlfriend. He bought me a drink later with his winnings.

-I wondered if Brian today has a myspace or facebook profile and if there is a picture of him...Would would his picture look like.....This is my conclusion as quoted to one of my friends "there would be a picture of him blowing lines of coke off your girlfriends ass" Yes, im pretty sure that is exactly what Brian would put as his pic.

(THIS IS THE END OF PART 1, I WILL ADD MORE AND REPOST AS PART 2 ASAP)

Brian Finnigan ran shit. As stupid as it sounds Brian taught me, a scared little freshman, everything i really needed to know about college. I have done a lot in college and i know there are people that certainly look up to me. Just know that if you are one of those people, certainly, the person that derserves the credit is Brian. Because without him, I wouldn't be who i was today.

Roller Derby

For anyone that remembers roller derby they are now upset at me for reminding them of how their lives aren't complete without it. For those who don't know, roller derby was this sport back in the day that combined roller skating with assault and battery. Roller derby was the tits! Honestly i can't think of one sport that was less mindless and violent than roller derby. At a young age i learned that basics of roller derby from what is saw on TV. The object of the game is to clothesline as many people as possible while trying also trying to jump kick them in the face with roller skates. The official roller derby rules state that the objective is a little different than than how i stated it saying that it is kind of a race however this is more a secondary goal.



Roller derby was a huge west coast thing. They had an arena with like padded bars that lined a track that the teams skated around. I used to sit in front of the TV for hours watching people get pushed off the elevated track, fall like 8 feet and land on concrete while going like 20 miles and hour...into a pole...of doom. There were even girl leagues to with some of the toughest chicks i have ever seen. I mean these girls looked like they ate nails and shit belt buckles. Most of the "Players" were missing teeth and looked like they had didn't have a drug of choice because they liked them all. Roller derby was always on like TBS or TNT or some like B list channel. It was amazing though. It also had some wresting like drama where there would be cut scenes of fans fighting players and people getting hit with chairs except it was all real. If roller derby was still around white trash people wouldn't even be concerned with Nascar. Yes, nascar is a white trash sport. Ask a black person. Rollerball was a movie that was loosley based off the sport roller derby however roller derby is played without smiling or teamwork. In an age of "roughing the passer", "cross-checking" and other penalties, its good to know that there is a sport that encourages all of it.




Supposably there is a new series called Texas Rollergirls that is premiering but i haven't heard anything else on it.






Roller Derby: Just picture boxing mixed with roller skating

Damage Control

People today are so fucking stupid. Did that sentence offend you. Exactly. I am so sick of these people/groups of people getting so easily offended that they jump to some obscure conclusion every time their misguided attention seeking minds see an oportunity. For example today Walmart issued an appology to dvd online purchasors. Aparently when individuals were interested in purchasing such titles as Charlie and the Chocolate Factory or Planet of the Apes, the suggested other popular titles that were displayed below were those that apeal more to African Americans.

Before you call your lawyer in disgust please let me reiterate the robot bullshit response Walmart issued in an unecessary and ball-less damage control statement.

"Walmart is heartsick over..."

Heartsick? Besides the fact that i don't even know what the fuck that means is the clear issue that no one was offended. I think this country should just not care about people that are easily offended. Like who was the idiot that played the race card on walmart and got them "heartsick" How far can a society progress if coincidence is considered racism. Let me get this clear people...Racism and Stereotyping are two different things. Two VERY different things. Walmart, although unbelieveable that they have a heart, was the victim in this case. Not black people. I mean seriously, the next time I am doing an online purchase at per say J Crew and I see the screen that says "customers that liked our polo shirts also picked our casual white socks" I will be fucking furious knowing that those racist J Crew management motherfuckers want to see me in white. Maybe in a J Crew perfect world everything is white huh J Crew? Maybe I want some white out too? Or better yet some "Crackers" Call my lawyer. I can only hope that J Crew will be severely "Heartsick" and avert from their oppressive ways.

How am i doing so far. Right, I sound like a fucking idiot, otherwise known as the person that would have a problem with Walmart in a similar situation. Walmart should have released a press release such as this.

Dear attention seekers,

We stand by our decision and if you don't like it then next year we will suggest that you eat a dick sandwich. Or we are "Heartsick"

Walmart, bitch!


Walmart should have totally played it off like it wasn't a big deal and nothing would have ever come of this except the sheer coincidence that it infact later turned out to be as purchasors of titles such as Home Alone (possibly the whitest movie ever made) and Power Puff Girls DVD were suggested the same African American Classics. Way to throw up a premature red flag walmart.

Maybe walmart did some market research and found out that black people like the movie Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and decided to sell it with African American titles. I didn't know that there were black people movies, i must have missed that isle in blockbuster. McDonalds, Sprite, other big companies market to minorities all the time and cross sell each other. If i were an angry black activist, it wouldn't be at how walmart was treating me, it would be how companies perceived and targeted my market. I would question...why when i listen to hip hop stations that I always hear used car offers that focus on catering to people with poor credit. Even I get offended when I hear offers like "bad credit, no credit, stolen credit?! you need a car, and you need it fast. For just 1 dollar drive away in a brand new car today. Thats right just 1 dollar down and payments as low as 50 dollars a month for the next 688 months and this new car is yours!!!" So after the car dies in like 4 years cause it is a piece of shit floor model, you still have like 49 years to go on payments. I think its just ridiculous how black people are marketed to. It is even offensive to me and i don't get offended very easily at all. I just don't see how dwelling on unfortunate coincidences trumps a pressing social problem that really exhists and is just getting worse. I am also the last person to jump to Walmarts defense, like i totally hope their stock plumets cause of this but it wont because they own wall street including the sign. Think about it, if people focused on the real problem instead of symptoms of that problem we wouldn't be in IRAQ right now. And over 2000 service men and women would have been with their famiies for the holidays. Instead they were casualties measured in escalating numbers, left to loom over an ungreatful nation. Smarten up people. This has entry has nothing to do with race or stereotyping, it has to do with knowing when to act, and how to react. This country has misguided tolerances, and it leaves me "Heartsick"
