Lice-steria

AITOOW notices that Chinese Take Out places now cook up huge piles of fried rice in advance and then just warm it up for you when you order? How old is some of that shit? Like they weren't dancing the tightrope of health code violations before this practice.

Iran-ium

AITOOW thinks the path to war goes through Israel? They attack. It is unsuccessful. They are retaliated against. We come in to "defend". That's the narrative we know and love.

Days Inn Confused

AITOOW is sick of people saying something is unbelievable and then believing it?

Anti-motion

AITOOW thinks all corporate promotions are pointless because the marketing department is always competing with the financial department over outcomes and the decision maker never choses a side. The result is a promotion that exists to be redeemed by the fewest number of people possible. How does that help sales? It's one of the stupdier things corporate America does. Why is it even regarded as a legitimate marketing strategy? At best, it is ignored (by customers who guess what you are up to). At worst, it alienates customers (who find out later what you are up to). And you have created all this overhead to administer the promotion. Just do normal advertising and cut the overhead or keep the quants out of it. Or greenlight a promotion that can achieve the goals it is meant to achieve.

Cry For Help

AITOOW thinks the real problem is not that institutions are too big to fail, but, too big to manage?

Product Warning

AITOOW has figured out that that Jane Seymour open heart necklace is faulty? She says that the open heart design lets love in. Somehow mine got turned upside down and love fell out.

American Adele

AITOOW wonders if this season of American Idol didn't get mixed up with The Biggest Loser? Is there some sort of Adele influence permeating the judges sub-conscious? Most are fat like her. Most warble like her. How do they continually start off with so many seemingly talented people and end up with pathetic top tens? Can't wait not to watch another season (after the auditions).
