I watched an American cousin of mine get pissy when we visited Asda (a British supermarket chain. Formerly owned by those Walmart cunts) and he couldn’t get his “chips” in his desired flavour. So we bought multipacks from different brands to see what he liked. Read more

European customers require different engine options. The more the better. Don’t offer this, and consumers will find what they want at the competition. Read more

do products now have to list everything they WON’T do or that you SHOULDN’T do with It? Read more

Gorilla Glue doesn’t specifically warn against hair usage. Read more

The Skodas that are popular in the UK but not sold in the US?
I’m detecting a theme.

Good lord. The front end of that Ranger is on that only a mother could love.

I was listening to talk radio this morning. I’m also horrified by the amount of people STILL calling in, after ALL THIS SHIT, and saying things like the following: Read more

France also closed its borders with Germany for good measure, but the German truckers just followed the detour through Belgium as usual. Read more

How can people be sofa king stupid that they can’t do without a holiday vacation or visit for one fucking year?

If World War II had happened with the selfish population of today that’s unwilling to lift a single goddamn finger for the greater good, we’d have had our asses kicked.

Hmmm.
