Apparently it has to do with the percentage of tomato solids. Below Fancy is "extra standard" and "standard". "Extra Standard" is now my new favorite bullshit term.

I had to look up what "go to the back of the line" meant, since I've never heard that particular immigration slang. Couldn't they have come up with a term that sounds less like "go to the back of the bus?"

Also not political, but from a practical standpoint, it makes no rational sense. If I were told "go to the back of the line", a line thousands of people long, I'm just not going to get in that line. And being forced to learn another language? I'll pass, thanks. This has nothing to do with the immigration argument. It's about logic and human behavior.

If I moved to Italty, to operate on a daily basis and have a career, i'd probably have to learn Italian. If I moved to Brazil, to operate on a daily basis and have a career, i'd probably have to learn Portugese. If I moved to Japan, to operate on a daily basis and have a career, i'd probably have to learn Japanese. Stupid advertisement notwithstanding, I cannot for the life of me understand why so many people who come here (especially from Central and South America) refuse to make an even rudimentary attempt to learn the de facto language of the country. It would be extremely positive, and help them integrate into the society, and help their kids integrate into the society.

Part of the reason we have so many undocumented immigrants is that our legal immigration system is tough as balls. And good luck trying to become a citizen. This is the reason sane people are talking about amnesty and paths to citizenship- our current system is broken and the number of people hopping across the border are a symptom, not the cause.

I was referring to the hassle of bureaucracy, and nothing to do with immigration per se, or becoming a citizen. It was about EFFORT -> REWARD. The reward could be getting a drivers' license. I am already driving, why bother going to the DMV? It is common knowledge that DMV = Boring ALL DAY EVENT dealing with civil service fuckheads. I'm not down with that, so I skip it and keep on driving. If I get caught, they could give me a ticket, put me in jail, maybe even take my car (i.e. deported). I just ignore the ticket, post bail, or buy another car and keep driving (i.e. sneak back). The end result is the same: I am operating a motor vehicle (i.e. in the United States), without the headache of hours of paperwork.

It is pretty tolerable until he finally gets the baby swaddled and the baby lets out a huge fart (or is it poo poo?) and the dad says "that's gonna be a wet one" It's like the television version of that annoying mom on Facebook that lets you know every time little Timmy takes a dump in her purse.

People undergoing ferrocyanide (prussian blue) treatment for heavy metal poisoning sweat and pee deep blue, actually  But the reason they do it is the same reason that windshield washer fluid is electric blue: nothing natural is that color so you know it has to be artificial. With washer fluid you know you aren't supposed to drink it, with the diaper or maxi pad ads you know that they aren't actually showing you real blood or urine. (the colors they make gatorade and energy drinks these days have really hosed up the intense dye = inedible thing though)

I could probably write a book on how much I hate beer commercials. Lately the campaign I hate the most is Miller 64. They all involve some sort of fake Irish drinking song like that makes that beer flavored water any more fun to drink. Never mind the fact that its probably the least Irish beer in existence.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZIRtq8evqi0 In the 70s, Debbie Boone had a monster hit with "You Light Up My Life". It was a love song written for the movie of the same name. Debbie dedicated the song to God who, she said, lit up HER life. Now she's using the song song to shill for LifeLift, a facelift system that apparently is NOT performed by plastic surgeons. I'm sure God is smiling down upon you Miss Boone.

More radio retardedness. Colorado goons probably know this one. The radio ad for the Colorado Lottery Monopoly scratch game. Two guys talking, one says he played a new scratch game, the other guy asks which one. The first guy says the Monopoly game. The second guyis "You played the monopoly game, but you said you played a scratch game" SHOW HIM THE TICKET YOU loving MORON. Of course, if he did that the ad would be over in 5 seconds. Almost as annoying as Flo "singing" and "playing" the kazoo. If you think TV ads are stupid, listen to the radio. Your brain will try to escape even faster.

The bulk of their ads are grating, preening, patronizing or just _bad_ (the Surface campaign). The only one that's alright is the Nokia Windows Phone "Wedding Fight" ad. I wonder how much creative control Microsoft exerts on their current TV advertisements.

My favorite misleading ads right now are T-Mobile radio ads. It's set up as "Simple Choices", like Jamaica or Jail, or Winning or Losing, and finally "A Samsung Galaxy S4 from T-Mobile for less that $150 (down) and with no long-term contract, OR the same phone for $50 more a AT&T, plus a 2-year contract." The commercial then proceeds to detail the plan in full in hushed tones and quick speaking. The phone is $149.99 (less than $150, technically) DOWN, plus added payments of $20 per month to your service bill over 2 years (but no service contract, technically), and if you do cancel service, instead of a cancellation fee, the balance due on the phone itself becomes due, which is somewhere around $600 total. It's just such dumb bullshit that it makes me laugh every time. I think they've since reduced the down payment on the phone to $99.99, and clearly state $99.99 in the commercials rather than "Less than $100", which I guess makes that point slightly better, but everything else is unchanged. In dealing with T-Mobile myself recently, they also neglect to tell you in that commercial that applicable sales tax on the phone is applied to its full price at time of purchase. So that $100 gets another $30 or so tacked onto it, plus activation fees and the like. BaronVonVaderham posted:I notice that Dish's new ads are finally disclosing that their "HOLY poo poo RECORD SIX SHOWS AT ONCE" only applies to major networks during primetime. I think they were doing that from the beginning, but in the ad-end disclaimer stuff rather than in the actual selling points. It made me laugh the first time I heard it.

So what would be the disadvantage to Dish to offer the "record 6 shows at once" service at all times of the day across any channels available to their subscribers?

Retail Slave posted:So what would be the disadvantage to Dish to offer the "record 6 shows at once" service at all times of the day across any channels available to their subscribers? It's a technical issue. The DVR only has 3 tuners. Dish puts the 4 major networks on a single transponder so that only one tuner is necessary to record all 4 channels at once (leaving the other two free). Since which channels share a transponder is determined at the satellite level, you can't really blanket enable that feature across the board for all channels to allow each tuner to record more than one show simultaneously.
