And I never had too much trouble with Vista. But this time sucked.

I love Firefox normally too. Tried Chrome and didn't like it at all. And IE sucks. FF allows no ads any time anywhere. THAT I love.

Gg I was going to ask the same questions that GR asked so yeah,

Yes. Creep. Sorry, since I guess you have to continue to take your lessons from him all the time.

Yeah, why the heck are they comparing those two?

And even if Bono is trademarking his name, why would that be the end of U2?

He's just making a smart business move, so other people can't use his name for the promotion of their product. I don't see what this has to do with the band.

And I'm glad you guys agree with me that the whole thing with my karate teacher is just weird.

I don't know. I don't really care what the press hints at, what the band hints at, whatever, unless it's an actual decision. They keep doing the 'oh man we may be breaking up, freak out about the next album' thing so many times I've just stopped noticing.

And a moment of offtopic-ery. I just flipped through the worst clothing catalog ever. It arrived addressed to my mom (probably spam, she was pretty disgusted too) and apparently it's targeted to older women, but seriously...it's stuff not even I would wear. I compared it to the Victoria's Secret that also arrived, and that even has less cleavage. Not to mention they (other mag) like pairing cutouts with crochet, and making the only nice-looking dresses dry clean only...it was very fun to laugh at though.

Re: Jedward.

Never Mind The Buzzcocks Series 24 Episode 3 - YouTube

Their lack of musical knowledge just astounds me. Even Noel Fielding, who I think? is on their team (I am not rewatching this one bc their voices are just...ugh) can't tolerate these kids.

JJAsi · 06-26-2012, 01:33 PM

I love that show

Thora · 06-26-2012, 01:40 PM

WTF is up with their hair?!

AnCatKatie · 06-26-2012, 01:41 PM

Re: loving that show. Me too. They're so wonderfully snarky.

Galeongirl · 06-26-2012, 01:42 PM

That... is their thing Thora. It.. just is... disturbing..

Ah. I guess I can be grateful that they've never caught on in North America (not yet, at least).

AnCatKatie · 06-26-2012, 01:53 PM

Falsity. There are, sadly, kids I know in art school who love Jedward. It makes me sick inside.

I just found out my internet usage for the month is almost expired. I may have to take another hiatus. Le sigh.

Thora · 06-26-2012, 02:01 PM

I don't know very many people younger than myself, so I'm pretty clueless when it comes to that kind of stuff. I have an 11 year old cousin, but thankfully she's grown up with better taste in music, thanks to her older siblings.

I've never heard them on the radio or seen their music videos, so they're definitely not popular around here, though.

GraceRyan · 06-26-2012, 02:04 PM

It's like Jap-Pop culture. NO GOOD.

zuropa_fit · 06-26-2012, 02:39 PM

SHIT! I just spent 2 hours working on a project. Only about 1/3 of the way through it. and NOW I figure out an easier way to do it. *headdesk* I want my 2 hours back!!!!!

Well, so far it's just been reported in Pleba.

I'm with you on the "products" thing, but I'd be really, really surprised if that happens. I'm sure it's just a smart business move thing, a "protect my brand" thing, since his name is his 'brand,' to use a somewhat crass business term.

Me, I'm going to pretend he did it so he can finally put the kibosh on that icky Pavel going around and infringing upon his brand.

Galeongirl · 06-26-2012, 02:46 PM

Can we get some

and chaos around here?

corianderstem · 06-26-2012, 02:50 PM

Speaking of Jedward, I laughed when I got a receipt at a gas station outside of Galway, and it had a picture of Jedward on the back. They were shilling for some company.

I showed it to the attendant, and he just looked mortified that he was from the same country as those two.

AnCatKatie · 06-26-2012, 03:01 PM

I just ignore the fact that Jedward are from Ireland. Completely.

And as for venturing outside of Pleba...why do that. I def. don't much. Too much argument. It bothers me.

Because some of us are usually able to let the bullshit go in one ear and out the other? And because there are other people not in Pleba I enjoy interacting with? (I enjoy answering rhetorical questions.

)

The main U2 talky forum is heavily irritating, but I enjoy spending a lot of time in the music and TV/movie sections.
