The Great Wall of China Sake Bar


http://secure.www.oldnavy.com/asp/Product.asp?wdid=100351&wpid=3139172

Dear Old Navy,

Regarding the Men's "China Sake" tee (style #313917), I would like to point out that although the Great Wall is indeed in China, but sake is a type of JAPANESE rice wine. I would highly doubt any Japanese sake company would use the Great Wall of CHINA to market their products.

Please hire some qualified cultural consultants before pumping out more of these meaningless junk into American market.

Sincerely,

Update: Apparently everyone at Old Navy has missed the memo about

Asian men + black mask + Ninja Star = Ninjas (practice Ninjutsu, not Karate)

Where is
Lumbergh when I needed him?!

Kum and Go



It would be a great name for a sperm bank.

Mexican Inca


(photo was taken in Sioux Falls, South Dakota)

The Inca Empire is in modern day Peru, not Mexico. The Aztecs were in Mexico. The logo looks more Mayan than Aztecan or Incan.


The best part about the travel deals to Mexico are the remnants of the Incas and the Aztecs, from where the concept of apartments originated. Having vacations there is absolutely fantastic. The place is loaded with restaurants, golf clubs etc.

No Longer Subscribe To PC Magazine

I used to have a subscription to PC Magazine, but not any more. There are several reasons that made me decide not to renew the subscription after it has expired.

For one, I really don’t like ads in magazines. If you ever read through a copy of PC Magazine, then you would know why. I understand a major portion of magazine’s revenue is from advertisement space. To me, since I am already a subscriber to the magazine, there is no need to shove more junk down my eyes. I am actually willing to pay more if a magazine that would promise to only place ads in the ones is for sale at newsstands. I also don’t like the post cards they place between pages. Every time I get my mail, the first thing I do is to shake all the magazines and made sure every single one of those cards is in the trash bin.

Secondly, many of articles in the magazine seem to be written for the less experienced computer users. Sometimes I have noticed articles have been reprinted from previous issues with some small changes. Perhaps those articles are for the senile crowd that needs to be retold over and over again.

Last but not the least; the magazine’s content has been deteriorating over the years. I just found out today that one of my entries from mid May was featured in PC Magazine’s website. I can understand some news may travel slow, but after almost two months later?!

Correct me if I am wrong, doesn't "La Puta" in Spanish mean "The Whore"?

I laugh at those pimps always complain about "pimping ain't easy", y'all should be driving yo biatches in these rides, yo!
