More More Musical Pandering

Here is a version of the Beatles Song "Norwegian Wood" that you probably would not hear all on your own:

YOU OWE ME!!! Just enjoy the Music, or . . . enjoy the Music!

Why the Gap in Posts?

First of all, STOP ASKING ME SUCH RUDE QUESTIONS! Second, things come up, and you have to do things like earn a living and eat and take care of your Family . . . and so on. I will still be doing an upcoming Post on the Corruption in the Knesset of Israel. I will also be doing a Post on the "Leave It To Beaver" Family Life of the bin Laden's of Saudi Arabia! They're more FUN than . . . their Dead Son, Osama. Lastly, there is nothing else to add here, but I started this whole Ordinal thing, so I had to do something.

IF you like laughing. vomiting, throwing crap, or doing other unspeakable things while reading my Blog Posts, please CONSIDER making a small Donation to maintaining it. The more People that donate, the less Real Work I have to do, which might leave me some time . . . other than when I should be sleeping . . . to create this vile crap for you to laugh . . . or do whatever you do, with my Posts. Even a single Dollar [Donate a lot though!] will help me afford the "Finer Things Of Life," like Food, Insurance, Gasoline [FUCK! IT'S EXPENSIVE!], Rent, Basic Clothing [I have all the Fashion Sense of a Troll], and other meaningless things that most people take for granted. I'm begging you! [I obviously have no self respect] Help me before I die of lack of sleep!

One last last thing: Please consider sending me your silly stuff to Post! Yeah, you could be as unknown and unpopular as I am! [Hey, I got quoted on CNN yesterday! . . . so I'm told by a few Friends!]. You could be just as widely known, yet poor, like I am! [I really am not Rich. I swear! I buy Generic Foods to save Money!] If you are interested, I would love to have People write regular Posts, and even do Real News! [Not the sarcastic and asinine "Humor" junk that I do, because my Mom didn't raise me right]. My Email Link is available to the Right, but DO NOT SEND ANY ATTACHMENTS. I will delete them immediately without even looking at the message. Email messages with Attachments generally have E-Herpes. I can't afford to get E-Herpes, or maybe E-Genital-Warts from your UNCLEAN and UNCHASTE Attachments.

One last last last thing. Donate something! I really like being able to take my crappy car to the Mechanic when it has "issues." I thank all of you who have said nice things to me about how my Blog has made you laugh, or given you information that you didn't have, or motivated you to become active on issues you care about, or ruined your life . . . these comments matter to me! So, take the time to make comments, and feel free to use expletives and text drawings. If you need to, you CAN SEND NUDE PICTURES OF YOURSELF. As long as you are not doing anything illegal [OVER 18 ONLY PLEASE!!!], or really really really gross. Please do not creep me out. I would prefer that you not send any Porn. Tasteful stuff only. And, let me know whether or not you want it posted [If I can - based on content]. If so, I may need to send a "Model Release" so that I do not get sued for Posting your odd Nude Photos. [Yes, some People DID ask if they could send Nude Photos!]. So, go forth and spread your words! [Or whatever].

Data Mining and Facebook - A Love Story

Facebook's Billionaire CEO Mark Zuckerberg has claimed, on numerous occasions, that Facebook is not primarily a "Data Mining" Enterprise. That claim, however deeply couched in Twenty-Something Triple-Chocolate-Spicy-Cream-Latte Uptalk it may be, is about as credible as the complaints of Glenn Beck over a possible George Soros Conspiracy to shut him down by corning the Market on Chalk. No matter how much Zuckerberg claims that "Privacy" is the Mantra of Ethics at Facebook, the Reality is [Wait for it!] . . . FACEBOOK IS NOT MAKING MONEY BY CONNECTING YOU WITH THAT FREAK FROM HIGH SCHOOL THAT USED TO DROOL ALL OVER YOUR SHIRT WHILE FOLLOWING YOU AROUND CAMPUS ALL DAY.

Facebook is paid by its Advertisers. It's Advertisers want access to targeted information that will sell their otherwise worthless and overpriced Products and Services. Zuckerberg claims that all the information in its vast Evil Empire Databases are collected "Anonymously." Woo Hoo! And how can this be? Well, they aren't too forthcoming in that area, because there is PROPRIETARY TECHNOLOGY INVOLVED. WTF??? What that actually means is that they don't want you to know how they supposedly take all your secret wants, desires, accomplishments, relationships, perversions, abnormalities, instances of diaper rash and diarrhea, and so on -- and compile them into anonymous data that will attract upstanding Companies like Monsanto [HERE THEY ARE AGAIN!] to place their warped business promotions [an opinion of someone who loathes that company] right next to your Post about the New Garden you just Planted! [It's just a coincidence that the Ad appears there!].

Soooooo, take a look at the Two Facebook Videos of Mark Zuckerberg speaking in his disjointed and annoying manner about Facebook, Privacy, and the Mission of the Company over time:

Perhaps it is just me, but when he refers to exchanges in the "Ecosystem," does anyone else get the impression that he is talking about the transfer of information from one Corporation's Database to another Corporation's Database via that vast Network called the INTERNET? [Well, who cares what impression you got? That's exactly what he's talking about!] What information could he be transferring and bartering with? CERTAINLY NOT THE INTIMATE AND TARGETED INFORMATION THAT FACEBOOK USERS SHARE WITH THEIR "FRIENDS," RIGHT? Oh my goodness, I love the Orwellian-Style Nerdspeak here! It gives me a real "Poke"!

Soooooo, if Facebook might [Facebook Lawyers, notice I introduced DOUBT here] be profiting from utilizing your information in some less than ethical manner, does that bother you at all? Does it harm you in some manner? Does it makes your skin crawl? [Does that actually apply here? Sure! Why the hell not!] Should you do something to stop it? Can you do something to stop it? [The answer to all those questions is the same: "ROTFLMAO"].

Well, so far, Facebook has protected itself via its complicated and nebulous and ever changing USER AGREEMENT and PRIVACY RULES. Do you understand them? Does Clarence Thomas understand them better than he understands Tax Law? [I couldn't resist!] Probably not and probably not. So, now that you are upset, what are you going to do? Will you disable your Facebook Account? . . . Get serious! Of course not! You would have nothing to do with that overprice piece of shit Smartphone you just bought if you quit Facebook! OH COME ON! YOU KNOW YOU WON'T STOP YOUR FACEBOOK ADDICTION! IT'S MORE ADDICTIVE THAN HEROIN! [Sort of . . . in a non-physical and unrealistic sort of way].

I have a way to do a minor protest! It will probably cause Facebook to disable my Account, but it could be Fun anyways! Just remember to come back to this Blog if you see my Account is gone after we do this . . . mischief! I will accept you back with open Arms into my other Profile! [You are all my Children! . . . of sorts].

Here's what we'll do: go to my Profile via my Facebook Link to the right of my Posts. If you are not already my Friend, send a Friend Request. Unless your name is Charles Manson or Dick Cheney, I will likely accept your Request. Once we are Friends, send me a Request to be recognized as a "Relative" of Mine. Call me a Brother, Aunt, Father, Dog, Sister, Mother, or whatever. It's not like I actually care. We are just attempting to distort the statistics being collected by Facebook on behalf of its Advertisers. What we want is for Facebook to start being up front about how they collect Data, and what is being done with it. Plus, they keep putting me on restriction.

Feel free to do the same thing with your own Profile. You can send me your Profile URL, and I will post it on my Blog. The idea is to get their attention, without actually doing anything nasty or violent. I hope you will help me here! I don't want to have to go door to door around the World! Tally Ho!
