And in this corner…
My nominee for dumbest business idea ever. I mean, c’mon people. Seriously.
If you can’t see the problem, if this sounds like a ‘cute gift’ to you, it’s too late for you. Report for pre-emptive sterilization tomorrow, after which I will bash your head in for being such a blight on humanity.

i like it!
Heh. I thought it was kind of neat actually.
LOL! I love the Jekyll & Hyde. I can think of so many people I could give that to…
The only thing about this that really upsets me is that you can get “Romeo and Juliet - Including the happy ending version!” Anyone who wants to read Romeo and Juliet with an alternate happy ending should not be allowed to read it at all.
Once again I feel compelled to point out the fatal flaw in just about every post and comment I com across here. STOP TAKING HUMANITY SO SERIOUSLY. Even your own lives are largely insignificant to anyone but yourselves. Just relax and enjoy the ride becuase you’re never going to have a good time if you keep banging your head into the brick wall of everbody else’s stupidity, ignorance, pretension, relgion, …
But look at me; I’m engaging in that very activity right now. Christ, now you’ve got me all riled up about nothing. I don’t have time for this crap. I’m moving to Beer Burgers for good.
Actually, I like this idea. I mean, really, who wouldn’t want a copy of Anne of Green Gables where every mention of “Anne” is replaced with “Bitchy McRottencunt?”
Marc, I agree. I think it’s silly to take everything to heart. I think those guys at Customized CLassics don’t take themselves too seriously either. I mean, have you read some of their book descriptions? It HAS to be tongue in cheek. BRAD and Helen for Romeo and Juliet??? And here’s the Jekyl/Hyde descr (their italics):
Ah! Jekyll! What drove you to unleash the fiendish Mr. Hyde upon the world!
I’m not spewing venom here, guys. I merely think that this is the worst thing to happen to literature since Danielle Steele.
Marc, it’s often been said that those who can blog, and those can’t write smug little comments. Just remember who brings your precious Beer Burgers. It damn sure isn’t hosted on YOUR computer.
I always thought it was: Those who can, do; those who can’t do, whine, mock and complain on their blogs.
If whining, mocking and complaining is wrong, I don’t want to be right.
Lest we forget, this is the internet. If whining, mocking and complaining don’t count as ‘doing’, then there’s no ‘there’ there. (on preview: what Sam said)
But perhaps I should have offered a more insightful criticism of the site based on accepted principles of business and managment. So here’s one of my favorites: “garbage in, garbage out”. The founding principle of this enterprise is patently absurd, and so the end product is horrible poop. The ability to earn a sustainable profit margin is thus severely impacted, most likely to the point of corporate bankruptcy.
What scares me, though, is if it somehow succeeds. Then my faith in the common man will finally hit the absolute zero point it’s been approaching. You can call it whining if you like, but someone has to be upset about this, and it might as well be me.
Ummmm, would it be bad if I clicked on the config button…and just for the heck of it the confirm button….and the credit card numbers just kinda spilled out somehow in a moment of weakness…
Gene and C—- baybee! The happy ending version!! Sorry about disappointing anybody’s narrow view of humanity, but it was just the zoinkiest gift I could come up with for christmas
Are you purposefully missing my point, or is something else going on that leads you to be defensive? Once your faith in the common man hits absolute zero you’ll be with me in not wanting to talk about this stuff. As far as I’m concerned, nearly the entire population of the planet would qualify as the retarded uncle my family doesn’t talk about.
Let’s not forget that for all his faults, J-Rod actually had something to say sometimes: ‘90% of the population is just dead weight.’
Alos, kudos for finding a topic that instigates this much “communication”
John Bradford, Encyclopedia of Word and Phrase Origins
The only reason I’m leaving Rojas’s comment intact is that I still have hope that in my hour of direst need, John Bradford will swoop to my rescue with a pulse-pounding blast of etymology-force.
It does not matter how slowly you go, so long as you do not stop.
does anyone know how many people visit this site. I am doing reseach on internet communications.
What is it that makes this post a spam magnet?
online casino, if I catch you on the street, I will represent by whupping your ass, word is born. And Moore Tania, you best not stop running, lest I break my foot off in your ass too.
MT-Blacklist, here I come.

When prosperity comes, do not use all of it.
Soce makes me laugh. But his promise of free sex remains unfulfilled.
Oops. Like moths to the flame. Try this.
Althoug I understand why you had to edit it down, let the record show that my previous post here at least made me laugh heartily….
Glad to put a smile on your face. While I am not in a position to offer you free sex right now, I can give you this, which is basically good enough, right?? Yeah, I thought so. yours–soce
