A Connecticut judge has given the brush-off to a blonde woman's lawsuit claiming L'Oreal Inc. ruined her social life when she accidentally dyed her hair brunette with one of its products.
Charlotte Feeney of Stratford says she can never return to her natural blonde hue, a shock that left her so traumatized she needed anti-depressants.
She says she suffered headaches and anxiety, missed the attention that blondes receive and had to stay home and wear hats most of the time.
Idiot
Name That Tune #3 is over, and contestant Cris has demolished the competition. For that, Cris wins this magnificent trophy:
And, thanks to all for participating, and making this event such a fantastic success. I'll do another one... someday.
This take on the "Take On Me" video is pretty freakin hilarious:
I love the "pipe wrench" segment.
But, for my money, the ultimate in humorous meta-music is still DaVinci's Notebook's "Title Of The Song":

My friends, these are not the changes we've come to the table to address in our revised and extended remarks on the record of bipartisan partisanship in which we believe we can do better to help bring the American United States of the people to serve and protect and defend the things that matter most to those who would assist in the rebuilding of the broken bonds of despair and neglect upon which so much tragedy and that the crestfallenness we can only hope is behind is in the past.
Ugh sums it up.
Is there really another one of these horrible fucking debates? Why bother....
This exact thing didn't happen to me yesterday.
Management: Hey developers, there's some great news for the company! We're looking into outsourcing your jobs!
Developers: Err. That's not great. That sucks. Why?
Management: Well, see, among other thing, these outsourcing companies have a big pool of programmers that they can draw from, to put as many resources as is necessary on a project, instantly!
Developers: Why not just hire some temps here?
Management: No, you see, the outsourcing companies will be able to keep enough people familiar with enough projects that there won't be any ramp-up time for people who are moved onto a new project - they'll already know the project well enough to jump right in!
Developers: OK. Then why not just hire some entry-level people here, de-specialize and cross-train the people we already have by moving some people from project A onto project B, and project C to A and B to C, etc.. for a while. Then, when project A needs people, you can pull them from wherever there's a little excess capacity. We already have deep knowledge of the projects and we're just as capable of learning multiple projects as those guys in Bangalore, ya know.
Management : No, because then we would have a fragmented workforce.
Developers: Whaa...? I notice you haven't blocked Monster.com. Thanks.
