Today is the 56th anniversary of the sinking of the USS Indianapolis. For those of you unfamiliar with this ship, it is one of the most honored of our military. It was carrying the Nuclear Warheads to be used by the Enola Gay, but was sunk by a Japanese submarine. Because of the secret nature of the mission, no one new the Indianapolis was missing for several days. 316 men were rescued out of the crew of 1,199.
Remember Free Willy? No, I’m not talking about the last Llama party where cosbysweater was yelling, “Free willy here!” I’m talking about that movie with the killer whale. Well, it turns out that Keiko doesn’t want to go free. Keiko, the real whale in Free Willy, has slowly been reintroduced to the wild. Even with 30 - 40 expeditions out to the open sea, Keiko keeps returning to his pen in southern Iceland. This kind of reminds me of Bill Clinton. Remember after the election, he just wouldn’t go away?

But the most disturbing news of the week has to be that Yahoo is going to experiment with those fucking stupid pop-under ads. That has to be the most idiotic idea in online marketing. Completely fucking stupid on all levels. To bad we don’t have a million viewers here or I’d suggest we boycott Yahoo now. Better get your pop-up blocker installed now.
