Lohan Sues

Lindsey Lohan sued E- Trade financial company for 100 million dollars. Lohan claimed that the commercial that was played during the superbowl was referring to her. The commercial was about a “boyfriend-stealing milkaholic baby.” In the commercial a girl baby was upset at her boyfriend for not calling the night before. When her boyfriend says he’s sorry the baby girl says “And that milkaholic Lindsey wasn’t over?” Other quotes from the commercial that referred to Lindsey were “Lindsey” and “milk-a-what.” Lindsey Lohan’s mother, Dina, claimed that her daughter called her hysterically crying telling her about the horrible commercial that was offensive. Lindsey filed a lawsuit in Long Island for her hurt and pain. Lohan’s lawyer insisted that this “offensive commercial” should be pulled permanently.

The Failure Called Formspring

            Ah, the anonymity of the Internet. Find a web site, choose a screen name, and you basically have an all-access pass to say whatever the hell you want. Some people thrive on this anonymity, and use to say things they would never have the stones to say otherwise. These people are generally referred to as keyboard killers. As long as they have a keyboard at their fingertips, they become the most charismatic people to ever walk the face of the Earth.

            Keyboard killers used to be walled off into the deeper, scarier sections of the internet where only /b/tards (members of the 4chan community…and I use the term community loosely) and severely deranged hackers and bootleggers. However, in recent times, they have begun to crawl up through the cracks in the floor and infect other sites. Even then though, they weren’t that bad provided you didn’t go looking for them. That’s all changed within the past few months. These people have found a breeding ground in Formspring, one of the worst ideas for a website to ever be brought to fruition.

            If you don’t know what Formspring is, allow me to fill you in. By registering for the site, you are given a basic page with a question box. Using that question box, people are able to anonymously ask any question they want. The questions pop up in the person’s inbox and they can choose to answer it or not. Once they answer it, the question and answer are up for the whole world to see. Doesn’t this sound like an awesome idea (Sarcasm)?

            The problem with this is the anonymity granted by this site. People can say literally whatever they want with no repercussions, and given that kind of freedom, people are going to abuse it. I have seen some of the stuff written on these sites, and the stones on these people when they don’t have to say it to someone’s face is amazing. One of the worst things I’ve read, above the random stringing together of curse words and comparing of people’s facial features to those of cats, was, “How does it make you feel while reading this to know your aunt is burning in hell?” You know damn well that no one would ever say that to this person’s face, and the fact that they have to hide behind a keyboard is a true testament to what a worthless excuse for a human being they really are.

            People, there comes a time where we need to stop encouraging keyboard killers. No longer can we stand idly by while they ferociously type with a furrowed brow, wiping away sweat and panting heavily, digging their hand into their jumbo-sized bag of Cheetos for another handful of heart-attack inducing goodness. For the love of God and all that is holy, don’t add fuel to the fire. Please delete your Formspring and let this site take its place in website hell next to Myspace.

Spring is Just Around the Corner

     Now that spring is just around the corner and the weather is getting warmer our favorite hang outs are starting to open up again. As I was driving home today I noticed that Snowman's has open up again. For people who don't know were Snowman's it's only a short walk from school. They have all different kinds of flavor of ice cream, milkshakes, and other drinks. There are also other great ice creams place that are not fair away as well. In Latham you can go to Guptill's Coney Express which is part of Guptill's Skating Rink. They serve ice cream and frozen yogurt. My favorite place to go in the spring and summer is Country Drive- In located in Clifton Park. Country Drive- In is the best place in my opion they have the best ice cream as well as the best food. In one window you can get your food for example there hot dogs, hamburgers, chicken, fries and the best homemade onion rings. You sit down at one of the pinic table enjoy your food and then you go to the ice cream window. They have like all different kinds of soft serve ice cream its so good. Can't not wait until they open in a couple weeks.
    Besides place to eat there other things you can to now that its not as cold out. In Waterford you can go mini- golfing at Pirate's Hide-Out which I have been to many times in my life. The ice cream and grill opens on March 19th and the 18 hole golf course opens in April when the ground warms up more. I am sure that there are other golf courses by where ever you live but this the one I enjoy going to. Other things you could do is go to parks and hang out with friends, maybe find a go- cart place, or whatever you can find. Its spring time and Summers almost here!! Go outside and enjoy the fresh air we have been inside all winter, time to get out and enjoy the sun again.

Cat Toast Antigravity Site Poll

I would like to take this chance to apologies for the confusion on the site poll last week. It was just something a little random that my partner and I were thinking of during one of our study halls, and I am sure that all of you have had some weird thought during the boredom of one of your study halls. To explain why that was there…

 

If you think about how toast lands butter side down (most of the) time and how cats land on there feet and if you were to glue a piece of toast butter side up on the back of a cat and then drop it the cat would want to land on its feet and the toast butter side down so logically it would spin, there for creating antigravity.

                                                

        If you have a complaint or just want to make fun of my logic then pleasre post a web message addressed to NJC or send an email to cchsecommerce@gmail.com And also address it to NJC. Thank you for your time patients and laughter.
