@okwhen: Those things, for the most part, actually made money recycling so it was worth it for them to pay you for gathering them. From what I understand Metal and glass can both potentially make a profit being recycled but some glass, and all paper and plastic cost a fortune to recycle and are covered by tax…

This is why I have major issues watching sporting events at bars. Most are too cheap to buy the HD broadcasts and if they do they either show the SD channel instead or incorrectly display the image at the wrong aspect ratio. Most of them that just use the SD signal invariably put it in stretch mode so it fills the…

@Purple Dave: That's a very small subset of film makers. Most actually shoot at a wider aspect than 16:9 leaving bars on even a widescreen TV.

@Bustout: Labels created when one technology was king are becoming increasingly confusing as the tech changes but the terms remain the same. In terms of Full Screen Vs Widescreen I just ask them if they want to see the whole thing or if they wouldn't mind missing 1/3 of the movie. They usually go with Widescreen…

@Front_Towards_Enemy: I don't know how many hours I've spent explaining to friends that they are messing up their image and seeing everything distorted. They just can't see it. It's kind of like Pan-&-Scan all over again. Pan-&-Scan bugs the crap out of me; I always notice the fake pans but every time I've pointed…

@Buzz Mega: ? As a video professional I have to say they are one of the few who gets it right; on their SD broadcasts at least. I don't have their HD broadcast so I can't say there but in the SD they shoot in Widescreen and send the image in widescreen. If you have an HD tv you move the TV over to ZOOM mode and…

@WB: Or watching an SD broadcast that they've broadcast with bars on top and bottom(like History and Discovery do a lot)

@Sheriffa: £530,000 according to the linked article.

@Geisrud: I disagree but thanks for sharing.

Mark, what here is Meme worthy? Nothing is blatantly ironic or moronic.

@Oozebull: I hate you. :-P

@Pat Chan: Usually you can hear team chants and songs though which I really like.

@OhNoItsGojira: You haven't watched any other World Cups have you? Or are you just a sarcastic giant lizard(love your avatar)?

@Japan_Time: Ooh Blondes.....wait what were we talking about?

@Japan_Time: Are the numbers the same for everybody? Cuz I gotta disagree and say that 14 is very plain. no hips, stubby legs no breasts and a boring face; the fact that she's asian is the only thing she has going for her looks wise. Perhaps yellow fever is affecting your decision abilities?

@medopal the vuvuzela: There are 3 versions.

I like the look but god I hope that guy isn't the actual voice in the game.

@Evilsoda: But advertisements for what? An Ad can't advertise itself because then it's art and not really an ad. Or are you saying the games are so good they advertise themselves via word of mouth?

With Green in goal an American is almost guaranteed to win that shootout.
