This film puts a fun spin on the old Jalopnik motto about motorcycles: Four Legs Good, Two Wheels Bad. (Also, given the train attack sequences, I suppose we could add "36 Wheels Bad.)

Ahh, I was close. For a second I thought you might be in that slow-moving spoiled oil scion race track that is the streets around Harrod's.

Good heavens! Where, pray tell, is this?

Painful confession time... I was sitting in my car on a canyon road when I saw a red 458 Italia come blasting up the road in the opposite direction. It was the first one I had seen in the wild.

Yeah, "brilliant" is a pretty spongy term. They're both options, comedically, but the Onion's way of doing things is using seriousness to say shocking things in a funny way. The subtle approach I think works better in a work of satirical fiction, like the Simpsons. This is more the Onion's style.

Gotta say, I think the opposite is true. It's funny that they're flatly stating things we've all been secretly wondering about. The bit works because people who find that line of work suspect get a thrill out of hearing someone admit it's a load, even if we know perfectly well that it's a parody. It's funny the way…

Service with a smile.

Not the biggest Jay Leno fan, but I love this video he does about LA's hidden Nordschleife. I drive those roads regularly, and they're a hoot.

Crap, the link didn't post.

I like these backgrounds from the Venture Bros., which I use for my four desktop spaces. I use the lobby for the web space, the blue windowed hallway for work, the desk with the purple chair for email, and the purple nightclub for music.

The dangers of dietary cholesterol are illusory. It's a lie, in other words. Eating eggs doesn't endanger your heart. Heart disease and stroke are the result of injuries to blood vessels caused my inflammation, which itself is caused by toxins, oxidization, and sugar consumption. They've never, ever, been able to…

They should, however, qualify the statement of "Do what the thief says, especially if he has a weapon." And this isn't some kind of macho combat fantasy. If the thief tells you to join him in a vehicle, alley, or building, you RUN. It's one thing to hand over the loot... that's fine. But if a criminal,…

Back in '01-'02 I bought a bottom-of-the-line Lexmark inkjet printer. It never worked right. Took forever to load documents, then sucked the paper in crooked and jammed. I suppose I could have returned it, but at $70 or so I genuinely got more enjoyment out of hurling it into a dumpster.

Yes, but is it truly Gangnam Style?

Admit it: How perfect would it have been if, at the very end of the video, the little shit got run over for real as he/she/it crossed the next lane?

Amazon, mostly because I have the Amazon credit card and Amazon prime, so a lot of stuff is free. Even then, it's pretty rare that I buy video from them. Mostly if it's not on Netflix instant I get it on disc. Buying on Amazon is usually about being rushed or having no other option.

Lexmark Z41 inkjet. Essentially never worked right. Misfed paper, took forever to do anything, sounded like pigs being dumped into a chipper shredder. I threw it right in the dumpster. Stupid move, but the sheer joy of disposing of it was worth more than the money I might have gotten secondhand.

Damn, you beat me to it! Now I'm crying about being beaten to The Crying of Lot 49.

There's an actual Home Depot subgun? I was kind of referring to the Sten guns made by partisans in Europe during Nazi occupation. (Damn... Godwin-ed.) They made them out of bicycle parts and bed frames.

I thought other commenters handled that quite well already. And like I said before, it's not that he clearly equates the two, it's that he fails to differentiate them, using the negative implications borne by the genuine article to tar the civilian versions.
