Please don't sue us.
Oh crap, the products of one of our best advertisers, cheap ugg boots, are apparently crippling the wearers. Quote He said: "As the foot slides
around, you get wear and tear on the joints on the inside of the foot.
The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes
position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads
to back problems."
Those girls can't sue us, can they? I mean, they just advertise here, we never really endorsed the product. Well, maybe alex. She's always going on about shoes. Which leads us to wonder if she can sue herself. If she is, indeed, a woman.
And no, I didn't see this on Ace's sidebar. Well, maybe a little.
The ankle is in the wrong position, the thigh bone also changes position, and you get an abnormal movement in the pelvis, which leads to back problems.
Sounds like someone having an epileptic seizure during sex.

We had our half-millionth visitor about, oh, roughly 50K visitors ago. In any case, thanks again to all our cobloggers and all six of our readers.

Seriously though, about how may uniques does the blog get in a week?

In the last month (Dec 21-Jan 20) we had 9,785 unique visitors. There may be a way to break that down to a week, but I don't have the time to look for it right now.

I don't know if this is worth the time and effort, guy says he's going to alter spam quotes, like saying, "Timberland boots give you blisters" or something.
But it would be funny the first couple times.

Sorry about that. I've tweaked the filters a bit.
We've blocked 9,967,920 spam comments at mee.nu so far, so we're doing pretty good on the whole. Maybe we should have a party when we roll over 10 million.

In one murder after another, the
Canal Livre TV show had an uncanny knack for being first on the scene,
gathering graphic footage of the victim.
Too
uncanny, say police, who are investigating the show's host, state
legislator Wallace Souza, on suspicion of commissioning at least five
of the murders to boost his ratings and prove his claim that Brazil's
Amazon region is awash in violent crime.
"The
order to execute always came from the legislator and his son, who then
alerted the TV crews to get to the scene before the police," state
police intelligence chief Thomaz Vasconcelos charged in an interview
with The Associated Press.
The killings, he said, "appear to have been committed to get rid of his rivals and increase the audience of the TV show."
Sadly, I doubt even that could meaningfully improve their ratings. After all, he's been blowing the President for a year and that hasn't helped.
On behalf of everyone here at DPUD, I would like to apologize for Vinty's inappropriate, tasteless, and regrettable blog post earlier today. (link is NSFW and should not be viewed by children, the elderly, or pregnant women; DPUD accepts no responsibility for blindness or ED caused by viewing this link).
While DPUD and the rest of the gang are busy beating the stuffing out of Vinty, I've been assigned the task of adding a palate cleanser for you. So here you go! A woman who merits inclusion in the Hill's list in at least 8th place, and is more attractive than the chiseled arms of Michelle Obama.

Yes, that's right, DPUD lives up to his moron status and gave me the keys. Big mistake/ahnuld voice
So I've been thinking. My first post at Doubleplusundead has to be serious, it has to be momentous, it has to be important and most important of all, it has to have the word "Fuck" in it.
So, DPUD told me if I joined up I would get to see the pics that prove that alexthechick is really a chick. So who has them? Please don't tell me it's moronpundit or Alice H. I've been kinda rude to them lately.

Spreading myself thin
For some reason, PJ Mama decided to give me the keys to The H2 last night, so I'll be annoying people with retarded poats like this one over there occasionally from now on.
(Don't worry. I'll still be posting retarded stuff here, too.)
No one has been hurt, but the blazes have caused about 45,000 dollars in damage to the portable outhouses and surrounding property, forcing police and fire officials to step up nightly potty patrols.
The fire department's arson task force is investigating, and it's unclear whether just one person is setting the fires.
San Francisco Fire Department spokeswoman Mindy Talmadge said Thursday that there have been no eyewitnesses. The blazes have been set inside and outside outhouses, including some that were locked.
The victim told investigators the doorbell to her home in the 700 block of Beach Court rang, and she saw a red Jeep Cherokee blocking the driveway. However, she didn't recognize the vehicle, so she didn't answer the door.
A friend stopped by shortly afterward and told her a "human bowel movement" sat on the porch, describing the odor as "repugnant." Toilet paper also was on the porch "where the suspect attempted to clean themselves."
The victim told police a neighbor indicated a heavy-set woman drove off in the red Jeep and that she was selling Mary Kay products.
The victim told investigators the smell was "overwhelming and she had to clean it as soon as possible."

The most troubling part of this story is the opening line: "A 31-year-old woman on Wednesday found a likely unwelcome surprise on her porch." A "likely" unwelcome surprise? Guys, the victim said the smell was "overwhelming" and she had to clean it right away. Can't we just infer from this that the surprise was DEFINITELY unwelcome?

Actually, if you're going to do direct marketing these days Avon is a pretty smart move -- low prices on the products, no real pressure, and it's very easy to sell. So far I haven't had a campaign with less than 3 orders (started in October, so my customer base is small right now).
But I did Mary Kay for awhile, and gave up -- your inventory is limited, and the products are overpriced. And we don't leave poo on your doorstep. :-D

The proper credit to Iowahawk for this post was initally left off the site. 760KFMB regrets the error.
That's a good start, but you know what would be so much better? An apology from Rick Roberts, admitting that he stole the piece (graphics and all) from Iowahawk.
Thanks: To Russ over at Moron Central for linking and getting more Morons involved.
This is still probably be actionable, at least through discovery, assuming Iowahawk has records of his contacts with the station. Especially as the post still has excessive content (in regard to fair use) without permission.
If they're actually interested in doing the right thing, as opposed to simply covering their asses, they should ask Iowahawk for permission and provide him with appropriate monetary compensation. A contractual agreement would also remove potential legal liability.
(gonna post much the same as this in the thread).

Think you'll like this
Some of you may have noticed, a few of us who contribute to doubleplusundead have been getting pwn3d by Real LifeTM. As a result, the amount of crap quality content we provideaily has dropped somewhat, which meant it was time to do some recruiting. I think you're gonna like my first pick. If you read this crappy blog or Ace's on any regular basis, you probably already know this person. Got a guess? Give up? Okay, here you go,

Am I gonna mess with you a bit?
Maybe
Okay, okay, here goes. Our newest contributor is alexthechick!

Speaking of shoes, I found an alternative to Danskos that are made in the US rather than in China. The store that had them had some really cute blue lace-up short boots, but I neglected to note the brand.
I heart shoes. And I heart alexthechick too, but not in the way that she probably hopes I don't heart her in anyway. If that made any sense, heh.

This Moron has been busy
I've been pretty busy most of the weekend, but I did get a chance on Sunday to talk to Jeff Beatty (website - donations), who is running against Sen. John Kerry this fall. I should have a write-up on that by tonight.
A meeting of the minds Morons
I met fellow Moronblogger XBradTC for a few beers tonight, just down the road from the real historical marker in Brea Canyon that's my blog's namesake. We mostly talked about military matters (Brad is an Army vet, while according to my lefty betters, I'm a Chickenhawk), politics (especially our mutual dismay over the rise of Captain Bullshit), and the Moronosphere. Brad is a very nice, well-mannered guy, though he swears more than any self-described Evangelical Christian I've ever met, something he chalks up to having a couple of Catholic Chaplains in the service.
We both agreed that we have to get together with more SoCal Moronbloggers over beers sometime in the near future (we're looking at bloggers like you, Malor) and that we ought to try to lure dpud out of Pennsylvania for a visit to the Golden State, if only to slip him some roofies and take compromising pictures of him for blackmail purposes. (Just kidding about that last part. Or am I?)
At any rate, Brad is a stand-up guy, especially since he picked up the entire tab for the evening. I totally owe him the next time we get together, especially since he's the only Moronblogger who knows what I currently look like and can describe me to police sketch artists who would be very interested in information regarding the disappearances of several hobos, not to mention the hijacking of a truckload of Val-U-Rite vodka.
Update: Here's Brad's take on our meeting. All I can say is that he's a filthy liar. Except for the stuff that's true. Which is everything. Although he totally downplayed how ruggedly handsome I am. Not cool, Brad.
I would have a drink with you Sean, but not Brad. At least, not until he gets his shots. And deloused.

Celebrating being done, at least. For three years I've had the nagging feeling that I should be studying more or working harder. Now that the quiz is done, that little bit of guilt in the back of my mind is gone. That's worth a drink or two.
