Microsoft has gone Ape

As much as I would like for this post to have something to do with Tim Burton’s wonderful take on the Planet of the Apes or Helena Bonham Carter’s pics in Maxim, it has more to do with one of the idiots that runs Microsoft proving to everyone in the North American continent that his company is indeed a cult.

This video of Steve Ballmer’s frighteningly realistic interpretive dance evoking the vision of a silverback gorilla makes me want to gouge out my eyes with the holographic security sticker included with all of M$’s products. My ears now bleed as Ballmer’s yelps turn the worker bees of M$ into an orgiastic homozygous pool of utter idiocy. His cries of love for the company that made him a quadrimillenialnaire certainly fall cold and dry on the ears of many of the people who don’t understand why they should shell out $150 every year for what is purported to be an OS upgrade.

I think what really wins the herring prize of the night are the huge sweat rings under Ballmer’s armpits that grow as the fat and bald Kyle Gass look-alike pants through the first minute of his speech. Does he truly think that his orgasmic yawling will inspire the workers that toil for peanuts under the weight of his and BG’s enormous mortgages?

This storm brought to you by …

Tropical Storm Barry moved deeper into the Florida Panhandle Monday morning and appeared to be setting its sites on Alabama.

More importantly, I’ve decided to offer a profit-making idea to the National Weather Service. You know how they move through the alphabet when naming Tropical Storms and Hurricanes (i.e. the next two tropical storms will be something like Charlotte and Derek)?

Why not take a cue from college football and practically everything else in the world and allow each storm and hurricane to be sponsored. Imagine the money they could get … the crankier the storm, the more they could charge. I can see the headlines now: “Tropical Storm UPS delivering damage to Gulf Coast” or “Hurricane NBA dunking all over Key West.”

You can thank me later.
