Seriously, it’s not a sale!

without comments

I’ve been talking about the whole Circuit City business, and how they’re going out of business. They are in fact going out of business, if you’ve had the time to check their website, www.circuitcity.com, they have the PR release and such. But anyways now continuing the draft, so that I could actually go to there and see what was going on, first of all the lines were Black Friday all over again and the sale prices are not even worth the effort of standing in the line. Some example sale prices are, 10% off all video games, 30% off cables, at most it’s 30% off of certain items (a nice big sign telling you that when you walk in the doors). In my opinion you can get the same thing, just as cheap from Amazon or even Steam (for video games). I’m sure that the prices will go down, but most companies will make the announcement that they are indeed going under, take a couple dollars off a product (still selling at msrp) and then eventually lowering the price; they still have to pay off the creditors! I do welcome your comments, I would like to hear what other people think!

Horse fat in fabric softener

without comments

Every time I recive a new issue of Wired, I open it straight to the ‘Whats inside’ section. Basically telling you whats inside the products we use everyday. The newest issue looks at the ingredients of Downy fabric softener; thus this product contains horse fat which is the part of the chemical that softens your fabrics :)

Looking at the back of a container of Downy reads: ‘Ingredients: Contains biodegradable fabric softener agents (cationics).’ You know the really sad thing is that when you buy something, you really don’t know whats in it anymore.

No Third Party, Meh

with one comment

Why can’t there be presidential debates with third party candidates? It seems from what I’ve read and heard, is that most debates are sponsored by: Commission on Presidential Debates. On which this organization is actually funded or shall I say recive donations from a several amount of major donors, **cough** republicans, and democrats. Politics really irritate me, as people can probably tell. So what I don’t understand is why can’t third parties be in the debates also, I think it would really mix it up, and then again maybe that’s why no one wants them in?!?!?
