and then the customers went back to buying their cat food and shampoo...

I was raised up north in Canada, I was raised on Well Water.
I've been exposed to that crap some people are forced to endure (smells like eggs, feels like you can't rinse the shampoo from your hair, sometimes has a the red tinge of rust ect.) But the well water we grew up with was clean and pure, no water softener needed.

As well, the house I just sold (moved away from) up north had the best tasting well water I've seen, 100% clear, perfect taste, surpassed all water testing, no colouring ect. We could leave the sprinklers on 24 hours a day and the water would never run low. We were on a "Real" natural spring!

By comparison, My mom is on city tap water and her water sucks, the water tastes & smells like chlorine which they use to purify it. I can't drink that stuff unless it sits in the fridge for a day while the chlorine evaporates out of it.

So don't judge well water out of ignorance. Like everything else in the world, these is good and bad in everything! Trust me, I have very picky taste-buds, I know when the water is gross, and I also know what good water is and the "best I ever had came from a well!" - Quote me on it!

>> ^PHJF:
I would die before drinking well water (even showering is bad enough, the smell is awful) but tap water is great. And I get water with a (free!) lemon slice at restaurants, but only to save money. Lemon slices make any water delectable. Except well water.

So why isn't this titled Puppy/Dog/Canine/Pup/Dawg Versus/Vs Shampoo/Conditioner/Lotion/Goo Bottle/Vase/Container/Plastic Thingy?

Awesome. Did anyone else find themselves trying to scroll up or down to move the camera when the rocket was going off-screen? That's just one of those flukes of using technology a little too much. Like when something shitty happens to me and I try to downvote it.

Or like in one of those shampoo commercials when the chick (or guy in your case) is shampooing her hair in the shower and you stand up so you can try to look down past the bottom of the screen?

I just watched the ad again and it looks like they did cleverly sneak one white guy into shot (the racist bastards)so I guess, considering there are about 12 people in shot (plus the Aussie wanker) the ratio of 11 - 1 black West Indians to White West Indians is representitive of the Team actually touring at the moment.

From my point of view I find the shampoo ad where the dude with dreadlocks trys a shampoo which straightens his hair to be a more stereotypical view of West Indians (and more offensive) which should cause more outrage than the KFC one; but hey that's just me. If you find the image of a lazy, skankin' to regae, cooool dude (till he loses his dreads to a straighening shampoo) not a stereotype then maybe you're of a different mind to me.

Fuck Dove shampoo, but huge kudos to Bob Kramer. It's always a joy to watch a master at work.

go and look up "living wage" and educate yourself before you...

To live means to have a minimum of food and water, and at most geographical locations, shelter and clothing too. A living wage then, means "a wage which affords oneself adequate food, water, clothing, and shelter to sustain life."

What you are describing isn't a living wage its a "comfortable wage." I'm sorry but like most people in a 1st world country, you just don't understand what it means to be alive. When you think "life" you don't think "breath," you think "entertainment."

If what you are saying is true, then it is physically impossible for anyone in the US to live (food water shelter clothing) on $1256 a month ($42) a day. This is clearly bullshit as I can go to www.hotels.com and find a room with free all-you-can-eat continental breakfast for $40 in almost every city in America...even NY and LA. Food, water, shower, heat, electricity, wi-fi, television, laundry, fresh sheets and towels, soap, shampoo, all of it for $40 a night.

So sorry, but Motel 6 is living proof what you say just isn't true. And...assuming that the folks at Motel 6 aren't a bunch of life-hugging hippies, and are actually in business to turn a profit - it seems obvious that the average person could live for much less than $40 a day.

Wow Stellar, I'm not sure what kind of a magical land you live in where you pay $16 a month for insurance but let's say you're telling the truth:

Do you ride to work in the rain? Because nobody I know rides their bike in the rain. So what then, call in sick every time it rains? That wouldn't fly at my job.

By the way, don't you have to pay for the bike? Even assuming you're all paid off, you'd have to account for it in your budget at some point in your life. 600cc bikes aren't exactly cheap. And what about maintenance? Tires, plugs, oil, brakes, etc? I know, I know... you maintain it yourself right? Because you're so self sufficient. Well then who pays for the tools? Who pays for the replacement parts? Well, we'll have to figure that into your budget as well. (Unless of course you got them from www.wegiveawayfreetoolsandbikeparts.com)

So, now that we've figured in the cost of your bike and the maintenance, what about everything else you already own? I'm assuming that you cook your $10-a-day food supply in pots and pans? And then you eat it on plates? With silverware? Do you use oil to cook your meat and vegetables in? Well at what point in your life do you figure all of that stuff into your budget? Let's move on:

You can't work anywhere without keeping yourself clean (arguably anyway ) So you'll have to buy soap, which doesn't last forever. And shampoo. And razors; I can't think of many minimum wage jobs that let you have a beard. Then you'll need towels to dry yourself and of course all the other basic toiletries: toothbrush/paste, nail clippers, toilet paper (unless of course you use a bidet which would add to your water costs).

Now I hope you don't have any sort of health problems at all. Otherwise you're looking at pretty high costs for medication: asthma inhaler, insulin, etc. Speaking of insulin, I hope you're not a diabetic, because that's gonna throw that whole menu you listed right out the window.

OK, I have to get back to work but I just need to point out one more thing:

I checked th math you did for your yearly budget. It's correct, but you seemed to have left out one major thing in your budget: TAXES.


Let me guess, where you live there are no taxes right?

You people realize you're laughing at baby shampoo bukkake?

1. I had an ex-boyfriend violently try to kill himself in front of me. It fucked me up and I dropped out of life for about four years. All my friends gave up on trying to get me out of my shell. As of right now, I have no physical friends aside from my family. I beat myself up about shutting everyone out so completely.

2. I also have an ex-boyfriend who is on death row and he's been there for 8 years. He killed some police officers and when they were fleeing, my friend Allen was gunned down.

3. I had a boyfriend who drowned in a lake. I don't like to call him an ex because we never broke up. He died. It's been almost ten years and I still go to his old LiveJournal and read all the entries and cry.

4. I had a terrifying experience in New Orleans when I was 16. It never showed itself to me, but made awful tapping noises all over my hotel room. Whenever I tried to wake up my parents, it would stop. I was so very very scared.. Even typing this now, I have to repress the urge to cry and turn on all my lights. I'm sweating. When I went to sleep that night, I curled against the headboard, with my back out towards the room. I woke up in the morning and took a hot shower and when I turned around, the hot water stung on my back. I looked at my back in the mirror and there were three long scratches spanning diagonally from the tops of my shoulders to my waist. Even though they had obviously bled and scabbed, there was no blood on my shirt or on the bra I had been wearing. That experience really fucked up my religious beliefs. I like to say that I'm a complete atheist, but whenever I say that, I think back to that night and I'm afraid of what an afterlife is and who or what exists in it.

5. I'm leaking breast milk all over my legs right now, but I'm ignoring the mess.

6. Mensa tried to recruit me as a little girl and it freaked me out. They sent so many letters and called to speak to me all the time. They tried to talk to me at school but I was convinced they were some kind of cult. Plus, they wanted me to spend my summer taking classes and doing homework. Crazy fuckers.

7. I had some rare kind of nerve cancer as a teenager and they cut the tumor from my chin when I was 16. The tumor and the consequent surgery left the lower part of my face numb and my lower lip a bit unresponsive. I drool on myself sometimes and when it's pointed out, I vehemently tell them I had cancer. It makes me laugh at how they scramble to apologize.

8. I used to be really into music and I've played with several bands, ranging from rock to jazz to blues to just jamming. I was really into it and I loved performing at dives and all the free beer. No one cards you when you're the band. But after my ex tried to kill himself, I fell out of that world, too. I regret that more than anything. I love music.. Now I just play for me and somehow it's not the same.

9. I play piano, clarinet, alto and soprano recorders[Hey, those are real instruments, too!], cello, violin, guitar, bass, any stringed instrument really, drum kit, hand drums, etc etc. I haven't really found an instrument I couldn't play. I like to sing a lot. My baby loves it when I sing. That pleases me greatly!! He's my number on fan.

10. I was expelled the last semester of my senior year from high school for doodling in my notebook a stick figure with a crude gun pointed at its head. It was accompanied by the sentence "I hate chemistry." The teacher walked by and saw it, seized it and dragged me to the principal. I was arrested for threatening students with a handgun. [My drawing wasn't specific, I mean, it could have been a sawed-off shotgun?? It was more of a sideways L..] I got 9 months of probation and had to get my diploma by correspondence. It was hilarious and fucked up all at the same time.

11. I had a neighbor freak out on cocaine and whatever else that guy was on. He came over and kept my roommates and I hostage and screamed at us about "sounding out" at night. He also put my roommate's Diamonda Galas CD on and played it full volume. That's what got the police there. Thank God for Diamonda's screeching voice or my other neighbor's wouldn't have called the cops. He also tried to strangle our cat. When the police finally busted down the back door, he was screaming about how he would kill us all. The cops took him to the ground and he told them he was the mayor and they would be fired. Heh.

12. I've been the victim of rape many times. I wonder sometimes if I have an aura that tells people it's ok to hurt me like that..

13. When my baby cried for almost 7 hours straight, I honestly contemplated smothering him. I feel evil because of that.

14. I had a college reading level by fourth grade and teachers would get upset that I wanted to read during recess. I read the same books as my mother and father and of course, some had "questionable" content. Whenever they confiscated one of my books, my dad would get royally pissed and scream at them over the phone. I still love to read. I read compulsively. I read all the labels of everything I buy just because. When I take a shit, if there's nothing to read, I read the back of the shampoo or whatever is close by. To my utter shame, I have read harlequin romance novels. I'll read anything within arms reach, even if it's utter shite. I really love a good book, though. Don't get me wrong!

15. I won a national short story contest for children when I was 12. The story was about a demon who disemboweled hapless victims during one cold winter night. I only really remember one part where the entrails steamed in the snow. What the fuck was wrong with those judges??

16. I talk way, way too much.

17. I have CPS involved in my life because I tested positive in my urine for marijuana when I went to the hospital to deliver my son. I hadn't smoked pot in almost six months. The CPS people call me a liar, but I'm not fucking lying. I read that pot can sometimes be detected up to 90 days after, but it had been twice that. Now I have to go to counseling twice a week for 6 months and they randomly drop by and drug test. They assess my whole house each time and write it up when I don't do the goddamn dishes. I hate CPS. Where were they when I was being abused as a child? Why didn't they care about rape and physical abuse? They ignored me when I begged for help..

18. I'm often way too candid.

19. I hold a grudge like a mother fucker. I try very very hard not to hate certain people. But I often fail.

20. I really love VideoSift. I used to be really into IRC. I have a long history of communicating and making friends over the internet. But the Sift is my favorite. I stopped for a long time and it was really hard not to come here and browse. I would find myself absent-mindedly typing the url. Oi.

21. I'm really into Facebook. It's the only way I talk to my estranged family and friends.

22. I love music, if you can't tell by the stuff I sift. Any and all types of music, except for bad music. Har har. Farhad's queue is one of my favorite places to peruse.

23. When I bare my soul to people, it never ever turns out right.

24. I tend to over-punctuate!!@!!!@1!!11!1!@!111one

25. I love to smile and be cheerful. I find humor in even the most dire of tragedies and I often get flack from that. People don't understand it, I guess.

Well actually he is kind of right...I have curly hair and I shampoo only once or twice a week (although I condition everyday) and I never...EVER...brush or comb it.

is the shower right there by the toilet?

between :41-42, the camera sweeps and you see shampoo, and then handles. all tile room as well. coo.

we draw the line at beastialiteurs and those wishing legalized bondings with the inanimate

Why? If we are going to allow legalized relationships between same sex partners, and multiple sex partners, then why not allow legalized relationships between humans and animals, or a human and a love-doll, or a human and a shampoo bottle? The same logic applies. If a person is feels he is getting love and happiness, then who are you to stand in thier way with your prejudiced laws and such? They aren't harming anyone.

mormon church = hate group

There's more actual legitimate 'hate' coming from the gay community towards Mormons to be honest. The gays and thier supporters are lying about Mormons, attacking their church members and buildings, and saying some pretty viscious hate speech about them. The Mormons politically opposed a law they diametrically disagreed with. They didn't go out and beat up gays, damage thier property, or anything of the sort. So the Mormons opposed a law using legal means and are getting REAL hate in response. Who is the real 'hate' group here, hmmmm?

I always went out of my way to beat the shit out of deaf people, but now I'm rethinking that, as well as my shampoo choice.

someone should remix this video into a Herbal Essences shampoo commercial.
