We are a generation of fatties. I know that sounds cruel, but it is true. We were raised on McDonald’s fast food, the internet, and TiVo. Why go outside, when you can see it live on www.i-dont-ever-need-to-see-the-real-word.com or record it on your TiVO and watch it after the American Idol finale.

So when corporations KNOW they are partially responsible, and even a movie is released calling them out… You would think they would get a clue and promote exercise and going out into the great outdoors. Nope. Yesterday I get a nice little flier from McDonald’s to promote their newest endeavor, called redbox, they are now going to provide these at most locations.

Now you can rent DVDs for only $1 a day. So you can get your fatty food, a few movies, and hide from that scary sunlight. God forbid you take a walk after eating a heavy fatty meal… What makes it better, is that this just enforces a bad habit. You have to return the movies… So while you’re there, might as well buy another super sized grease meal. Oh, and since you have food, might as well rent another DVD.

Why not provide some outside activities? Rent a bike for a $1… Sell a beach ball for $1… Something other than an activity that enforces sitting your ass down.

But the chances of that happening are less than the chance of A&E not coming up with another reality show for some celebrity. Make me a show, call it “Broke as a joke” and show how 2 people can live on minimum wage and shitty freelance job paychecks.

Today is the 63rd anniversary of D-Day. The beginning of one the worlds most bloodiest operations.

It is estimated that Allied casualties on D-Day totaled around 10,000, including 2,500 dead. German casualties are thought to have been between 4,000 and 9,000.

So give thanks, for without the lives of the brave allies, you may be living in a world filled with hate, lack of freedoms, and non-tolerance.

What is better than a USB device that is a humping dog? How about a modded one that has a USB drive that humps when transferring data.
