More from the boys in Lagos
I get lots of spam, both in my email and in the comments here at Ratlands. Most of it is junk. Most of the Ratlands comment spam is for various mail-order pharmaceuticals. And, I get a few of the classic 419 scams (you are promised a commission for helping some person transfer funds out of [...]

An updated version of the ubiquitous “coexist” bumper sticker, along with a commentary on the common version. Worth a look. (I’m especially partial to the use of the Mossberg logo for the “T”.)

Also tagged humor, pointless gestures, self-esteem2 things you should do
Now. Read this: Simulacrum of a President: 84R4(K 084M4 Watch this: Why are conservatives so mean? (via Cold Fury) Seriously, the first is worth some thought, and as for the second, when was the last time you watched a presentation that featured Alexis de Tocqueville AND Xerxes from the movie 300?
Also tagged lie to me, Nanny State, ObamaCommercials
I’ve just recently started seeing this Burger King commercial. The whole Spongebob square butt thing is creepy, but I just can’t get my head around the idea that someone thought the phrase “booty is booty” was a good idea in an ad for a 99¢ kids meal. This, on the other hand is how you [...]
