Fizz-book
AITOOW was subjugated to watching (airport) CNN's coverage of the Facebook IPO? How clueless were the talking heads (one bald douche was supposed a financial expert)? They knew nothing about what the moving parts are in an IPO, let alone the ways the can be manipulated. The only thing you learned from their "performance" is that they or someone they take marching orders wanted this IPO to be a rocket ship. I'm not sure if it was because that is how they prepared the supplements for the story or how they hoped to keep people tuned in or if it was politically motivated (good economic story for their boy Bambi) or sucking up to a potential advertiser. It was just sad. Almost as sad as the mayor of Newark (beneficiary of that charitable gift) painting a rosy picture of the debut when questioned about it. The state of journalism is just shameful. I remember when I used to feel stupid watching the news. Now I feel like I'm watching Evangelicals.

Tower of Babble
AITOOW wonders why ESL speakers mispronounce certain words? Are those sounds absent from their native tongue? Are they unable to get their mouth to make those sounds? Did they learn by ear (incorrectly) and don't know how the word is spelled so they can't sound it out? Is their accent so overwhelming that it takes over?

Comical
AITOOW thinks there are two maybe three pointless/non-super Avengers? Two of which were not even good enough to get their own movie. And why can't Bruce Banner just take an anti-depressant or mood inducer so he won't get angry? I still don't get how if Thor is a God how anything can beat him.

Cowardly and Lyin'
AITOOW thinks Dwight Coward is more Bizarro than Superman? And this has nothing to do with the injury. It was bad enough he stole the nickname, but, he single handedly reversed the correlation in one season.

Shug Bite
AITOOW knows that the more moist a baked good is the more sugar it has in it? They also replace fat with sugar in those low fat items.
