My parents bought a CB radio for my trip out to New York [Editor’s note: that’s where I’m going to college] for some reason and have had it on the entire way here (maybe they like to listen to the truckers’ pretty voices). Unsurprisingly, truckers have flamers just as bad (and just as many and annoying, if not moreso) as those on the Internet:
“Truckers are stupid!“
‘Shut up, fag, you’re a trucker too!‘
“You shut up, you’re the fag you stupid trucker!“
‘OMGWTF just shut up already Driver, I have a college degree!‘
“Oh ya, how many Calculus classes did you take?“
‘I took six semesters of Calculus in college, and four semesters of Biology, and four of Chemistry, and five of Physics.‘
“…“
‘Yeah, don’t have an answer for that, do ya, fag?!‘
At this point, I really would have liked to pipe in:
“Ladies, ladies, please! Let’s make this a good, clean fight: no biting, kicking, or scratching; and I don’t want to see any hitting below the belt!“
Unfortunately, my dad wouldn’t let me take the handset 🙁
…Thus confirming my theory that truckers have the mindset of a 12-year-old pre-pubescent girl.

I saw an amazingly well thought-out commercial today. It was a shoe commercial with some idiot drinking sour milk from a shoe (I thought his name was Steve-O, but I could swear that he died the day Jackass was finally cancelled). Then he went offscreen and puked, and came back to talk about how cool the shoe is.
Now there’s a brilliant marketing strategy; I’d love to meet the guy who came up with that one.
| Executive1: “ | How can we best affiliate our shoes with our target teenage-demographic?” |
| Executive2: “ | Well.. we could associate our shoes with vomit and expired dairy-products.” |
| Executive3: “ | And then we could hire one of those recognizable mock-celebrities desperate for attention and of questionable intelligence for practically nothing!” |
| Executive1: “ | Genius! Kids nowadays love vomit and washed-up hacks! I knew there was a reason you’re paid enough to feed an entire third-world country for a month.” |
Now there’s a role model for children.
[edit] I forgot to check “update time stamp to current date” – now it really *has* been two weeks, completely ruining the whole “feeding” analogy.
Grr.
