I read this with disbelief, then I read that it took place in Texas and I felt a little better.
Early Morning Open Thread
Lets see… Kinda got distracted during the weekend. Had company over, a good portion of Slackers were playing TF2 (and some of us in CS:GO tonight), work hasn’t been too bad and nothing really interesting to be reported. For a weekend that doesn’t happen too often.
Oh well, tomorrow is probably my Friday. I’m sure I’ll be posting random things. I already have some to do lists.
This is just too funny.
I seriously have no words for this. It writes itself.
Earlier this week a Target shopper sparked a controversy on Twitter after discovering that the same gray dress was listed as “Manatee Gray” in the plus-size version and simply “Heather Gray” in the “Missy” category. The company is now scrambling to apologize for the snafu, saying it uses the manatee color name all over the site. That makes us wonder — what other totally inappropriate and/or wacky color names are floating around out there?
Manatee gray. Because that’s what it looks like when these ladies put it on. 
Actually they should be flattered. They say the story of mermaids originally came from manatees. So actually the dress is complimenting them! 
Microsoft creative directors care about the consumer… NOT
In case no one knows, the new XBox Microsoft is developing has been confirmed to require a 24/7 connection to the internet. I’m waiting for them to do this with their operating systems. 🙄
Expect the unexpected
Some random dude showed up on our server and tried to deliver us information that we didn’t (need to) know. He would eventually leave learning what he didn’t know either!
Poker Night 2
This should be interesting. Heavy Weapons Guy made the first one a lot of fun. Now we get Brock Sampson and GLaDOS! 😀
Google fucks up royally.
There was epic rage that traveled across America when people went to their favorite search engine, only to find no Easter bunny or eggs. Rather it was a Google Doodle of Caesar Chavez! Oh teh h0rr0rz!!!!
Today, Google chose to honor legendary labor leader Cesar Chavez with one of their Google Doodles – the temporary homepage logos used to commemorate certain days — because it’s his birthday.
This caused an epic uproar, even a boycotting of google (good luck with that) and people switching to Bing who had some nice Easter eggs. Oh, it gets better! Fox Faux News picked up on the story but got kept bringing up the wrong Chavez. I guess brown people look all the same to these people…
Happy Easter! From the country that takes Easter and Christianity so seriously that they make people work on the sabbath day. Seriously if you’re going to impose your beliefs, impose your weekends too, also.
What will google do next? Groceries.
After all they seem to be doing a wonderful job taking over the world, why not?
Google Shopping Express will provide same-day delivery of food and other products bought online. If it takes off, Google will expand the service to other markets.
