Debit Card Fees: No Surprise.
Bank of America is the latest big player to announce new fees for debit card use. I recall a time not too long ago that they actually rewarded customers for debit card use. I remember there was a day when you had to pay more if you wanted to go inside and deal with a teller, and you paid less if you just wanted to use your debit card. How times have changed. … Read entire article »
Michael Jackson Death Photo Debunked
After the Michael Jackson gurney picture was displayed at the Conrad Murray trial, I was reminded of the Michael Jackson death photo that surfaced a couple years ago.

The ubiquitous “gurney” photo of Michael Jackson released during the trial of Dr. Conrad Murray this week is indeed disturbing. What I have yet to hear is who took this photo and why. It’s not standard protocol for doctors or staff to take photos of recently the deceased, even if they are celebrities. It’s not uncommon for family and friends to take such a photo as a “last memory” but the person responsible for taking … Read entire article »

Finding Humor in Facebook’s Horrendous Ad Delivery
I use Google Chrome, usually with AdBlock turned on certain sites. Like Facebook. But today I was viewing the site with Internet Explorer for the first time in a long time, and the amount of advertising – to someone who has been away from IE – was humorous.

17 Ways Cracked.com is Selling Out
I’ll first say that I am a reader of Cracked.com, and some of the writing on there is top-notch. Hell, I was even the guy who preferred Cracked over Mad when I was a kid, to the ridicule of comic collectors everywhere. But after hopping on Cracked.com today, I just had enough.

It’s gratifying to get the emails that I do, but also disheartening to see that so many people are still living with users of this horrible drug. I’ve tried to answer as many emails as I can on this issue, but there is one piece of … Read entire article »
