What Were You Thinking ?!?!? #6 (Billy Ray Cyrus & Miley Cyrus’s Little Sister, Noah)
THANK GOD I DON'T HAVE GIRLS!!! I have thanked the heavens daily that I don't have female offspring. Not that I dislike them, but I would not be a proper father for them because I'd be WAY to close minded and overprotective to where I'd always be criticized for my fathering style. The following article is but more ammunition for why I'd act the way that I would if I had daughters..
Miley Cyrus's little sister is going to begin a LINGERIE line for GIRLS!!! No.. I don't mean designing them for adult women.. I mean for GIRLS.. And no.. This is not Miley's older sister trying to benefit from her sister's fame. This is her 9 YEAR OLD YOUNGER SISTER. Billy Ray, WHERE ARE YOU?!?!?!
Enough with my ranting, here's evidence..
I'm sorry, but is that a POLE? Goodness.. Someone please tell me I'm either not the only one that sees something wrong w/ me, or attempt to persuade me that this will not cause lasting damage in the future for this child. I think we as parents have to have enforce some kind of level of protection of our children from themselves. I agree that we should support our children in their adventures and ideas, but sometimes you have to remember, "they're only kids." This is a perfect example of LACK of parenting and the inability to say NO.
I'm praying that my blog isn't taken down because I half way feel like I'm posting child porn. This is rediculous.
What Were You Thinking ?!?! #5 (NBA Administration)
OK.. I understand and actually agree with the suspension placed on Arenas and Crittenton. However, I DO NOT think the rest of the NBA players, nor sponsors, should be held in contempt for two individuals that did not utilize proper judgement.
Kobe Bryant and LeBron James are featured in a new Nike Ad. In which they are describing their passion and dedication to winning and the game. Kobe's quote says,
“I’ll do whatever it takes to win games. I don’t leave anything in the chamber.”
OH NO... HE SAID "CHAMBER"... A Chamber relates to guns.. You do the math. So are we not allowed to say, he "shot" the ball anymore? The NBA is going at Nike now saying,
“We had no prior notice of this ad,” spokesman Tim Frank said. “We think it is inappropriate.”
Are you serious? You've already punished the people for the crime, now you're holding everyone else liable to enforce sensitivity to the situation?
If you really want to get down to it, why don't you just ban alcohol? That's normally a precursor or an aid in voilence isn't it? Since we're being "sensitive" to the situation. Allusions to guns throught marketing, as long as I've been alive, have never caused a violent crime, but someone getting too drunk definitely have.
From my understanding, teams can't even play card games on the airplane anymore. They're actually regulating what GROWN MEN can do during trips now? First the dress code, now no "go fish"? Come on..
Here's the original article for you to determine your own point of view..
Kobe-LeBron Nike ad features gun language
What Were You Thinking?!?! #4 (Gilbert Arenas)
Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert...
I don't get it.. You are alleged to have brought a gun(s) to the Washington Wizards locker rooom. You say that was for a "joke" on your teammates. At NO point did you stop to think that was a bad idea, or that it might be taken out of context? Did we not learn ANYTHING from Plaxico? I mean come on, Washington's NBA franchise changed their names from the Bullets because the owner didn't want to have that negative connotation with DC's murder rate being so high. So you wanna bring the "bullets" back to Washington?
Now you're suspended without pay indefinitely because you were in essence taunting the commissioner by calling him "mean" on twitter. Did you not know employers were looking at social sites to hire/not hire people now days? Guess it's been a while since you were on an interview. So I might be persuaded to let that one pass.
Gilbert Arenas indefinitely suspended
I'm wondering how the NBA Players Association is going to come to his rescue (they always do). Are they going to condone him bringing a gun into the locker room? There isn't (I don't believe) any specific rule that says he couldn't. I mean if they can get Latrell Spreewell off for choking his coach, I think Gilbert stands a chance.. He didn't physically touch anyone, nor did he even get caught, he was just a little too talkative after the fact. I mean Ron Artest only got suspended a year for actually PUNCHING a fan.
The only other thing he might have to worry about is the Wizards themselves actually revoking his contract. No one can help him if that's the decision that organization comes to.
Gilbert, Gilbert, Gilbert...
What Were You Thinking ?!?! #3 (Chris Johnson)
Is this real? Chris Johnson really thinks he stands a chance racing Usain Bolt? He REALLY thinks he can use Usain's "slow start" to his advantage if they race a shorter distance.. GET OUT OF HERE!!! Don't get me wrong, Chris Johnson is EASILY the fastest dude in the NFL (+2000 yds rushing proves that, congrats) But it's completely different than sprinting.. Now with proper training, and all that natural talent, you might have something there.. But as of right now? Nah... No way..
Test Chris Johnson for Drugs NOW!!
I recently had a race with a "football player" (I ran track in my youth) and he went on and on about how he was faster than me (I outweigh him by 50 lbs). I tried to tell him track speed is a LOT different than football speed. Told him that he doesn't know "how" to run. In track, you break down your steps, start, arm position, stride, foot placement, how to push without overstepping, etc.
Needless to say, he pulled a hamstring trying to catch me on the last race. We ran 3 times..
My record against him? 3-0.
In the words of the author:
Short or long, it doesn't matter. Let me write this slowly so there's no confusion: Johnson. Doesn't. Have. A. Chance.
What Were You Thinking?!?! #2 (TrekStor)
TrekStor - You beat WHO??? You mean to tell me NO ONE in the marketing division caught this?
Trekstor iBeat blaxx portable media player
The comments are priceless.. My personal favorite..
They’re distributing a special edition iBeat blaxx in a big white tin through Kentucky Fried Chicken.
It’s called a Cool Clucks Can.
What Were You Thinking?!?! #1 (HP)
HP - To produce face recognition software for your webcams that don't recognize darker faces due to "lack of contrast" from eyes and cheeks? So our color is now referred to as "insufficient foreground lighting".... BWAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA!!! I'm sorry.. And all this time I thought I was black in any lighting.
HP Face Tracking Webcams Don't Recognize Black People
We are working with our partners to learn more. The technology we use is built on standard algorithms that measure the difference in intensity of contrast between the eyes and the upper cheek and nose. We believe that the camera might have difficulty "seeing" contrast in conditions where there is insufficient foreground lighting.
