Comcast sucks.
Comcast internet service is spotty at best.
Comcast internet service is always slow.
Comcast rips off customers by charging them an arm and a leg for bad service.
Comcast is a horrible company.
Comcast sucks.

We are Complicit In the Murder of Benazir Bhutto
Former Pakistani Prime Minister Benazir Bhutto was assassinated today. We, the Citizens of the United State, have tolerated our government's pandering to the dictator Mushareff. The U.S. government has enabled, empowered, and fully funded this dictator. The government that inhabits Washington, DC is complicit in this woman's death. The president gives lip service toward principles of a republic such as ours, and that is it. To correct my fellow ignorant citizens who love that word "democracy", which is incorrect in reference to the United States. The United States of America is a republic. Politicians find the principles of a republic repulsive because it means they have to be fair to all citizens whether they agree with them or not. Politicians use the word democracy, because it appeals to the majority only, and is contrary to freedom. Democracies can be dictatorships in their own way. A democracy can dictate by mob rule. The majority is not obligated to protect all citizens, just their own butts. Sound familiar....our very own politicians. Mushareff and Bush viewed this woman as a tool to control the mob for the sake of their own power. They wanted to use her, but not directly engage or protect her. Now we see what happens when you are viewed as an inconvenient tool to those in power.

Bigotry at Blizzard ( World of Warcraft )...We don't allow confident feminine boys around this joint!
OK. I barely tolerate Blizzard now. It is a shame I used to somewhat like them after they stood up and said they wouldn't tolerate homophobia after a GM harassed a player for advertising a "GLBT Friendly Guild." So I gave them a few points for doing the right thing for a change. Now I take those points back.
I will not rehash the whole story because it is not necessary but instead will post a link to an article about this controversy.
Blood Elves Declared Too Femme, Put on Steroids
Here is a quote I thought appropriate out there on the message boards, "you've taken characters that were previously more like sensitive, artsy types and made them look like hulk hogan in drag. bravo."
As some have pointed out it seems Blizzard doesn't want to upset the general homophobic mindset of their male players.
With their upcoming expansion they were going to have something unheard of for Blizzard, beautiful males characters. The male models in the game at current are "butch muscle heads", which equals to being manly with Blizzard apparently, and ugly as sin in the face. The new male blood elves were going to be average to thin in terms of body type ( not a muscle head ) and have nice faces. They could be considered pretty. They are supposed to be sassy even. One of the male blood elf emotes has the male blood elf saying something along the lines of "don't you wish your girlfriend was hot like me." I couldn't wait! Now I can...
What is wrong with having a hero that is skinny or average? Harry Potter is a modern day example! What is wrong with having a male that is sassy or effeminate? Do these things make them less a man? Not to me! Blizzard thinks differently. Here is a link to the official Blizzard response on what makes a character manly in their game.
Blizzard please reconsider these changes! Bring back the sassy non-traditional male blood elves! Give us our skinny male survivors who become heroes! Give men and women something nice and out of the box to look at! Stop catering to bigoty homophobic straight boys exclusively. Women and GLBT folks are in your game and compose a large section of the population in WOW whether you like it or not! Toss us a damn crumb you bigots of Blizzard!
Note: I need to make a small point. Blizzard had indicated that Blood Elves were suppose to be the "pretty race" for the Horde side of WOW. That is where my annoyance with them comes from. I mean...why even have the blood elf males like this if they aren't part of the pretty. I mean...they look like bleach blond Night Elves with the same ugly pinched faces now, as if they smell something bad. Funny...the girl blood elves are still slender, beautiful and well endowed chest wise as all the other females in the game. That is where the sexist bigotry comes in...the developers pander only to homophobic straight boy desires...not anyone else.
