Rat Piss Du Jour
Just when you think it couldn’t get any worse, the beer whores at the Dark Beast of St. Louis have pushed out another malt-based abortion, Bud with Lime. This is to answer the Miller Chill debacle. How’s this for irony:
Julian Green, a Miller spokesman, says it was decided to give the brew its own Miller Chill label and not make it a variety of Miller Lite because marketers believe it sounds “more premium.”
Yeah, it’s a more premium brand of rat piss. But that’s just my opinion, form your own by reading the article. Disgusting bonus of Slurpeeccino. Yes, Slurpee and coffee. Gag.
For Our Sightless Drunk Japanese Friends
This is a clever sort of idea, but really pointless. Apparently there are an assload of pop-top cans in Japan, and if you’re blind you don’t know what you’re drinking. So the vendors have begun stamping Braille on the can tops. This way you can run your fingers over them and know whether it’s beer, soda, coffee or whatever.
But, as this article shows, the beer is in coolers or vending machines, so unless they have Braille on the vending machine, you don’t know what you’re getting. And how do you know there’s a vending machine nearby? Braille signs saying “beer thataway”? I think this is diversity run amuck. You be the judge by reading the article.
How Stupid I Really Am
You think you know things and then your world is turned upside down when you find out you’re completely wrong. This article is about a huge cyberspace (kill people who use this word out loud) movement to make St. Patrick’s Day a HOLIDAY. Apparently it isn’t a HOLIDAY. It just appears on all of the CALENDARS but it isn’t a HOLIDAY! The sell all the little plastic green bowlers, shamrocks, etc. but it isn’t a HOLIDAY.
Apparently there’s some legal government deal that has to occur. Never mind the fact that everyone already thinks it’s a holiday. It will carry just as much weight as Valentine’s Day. You don’t get off work for that either. Who’s behind this madness? The lovable leprechauns at Guinness, of course. More media promotion.
Okay, kudos to them for doing this, but I have one very key suggestion. You don’t need to make St. Patrick’s Day a holiday. You need to make the day AFTER the holiday, so you can stay home with your hangover from too much G.
