…like current American politicians need any more of it.

Ford announced this week that they’d be banning non-Ford cars in the main parking lot of their Dearborn, MI plant.  That’s sick if you ask me.  Employees who own non-Ford cars will now be forced to park across the street from the plant.  I’d actually be interested to see the legality of this sort of descrimination.  All this will amount to is increased friction w/ the unions and bad PR for an already-faltering company.  Get a grip, Ford.

…and particularly the band everyone loves to hate: Nickelback. Some guy out on the SA forums took two of their hits and mixed them down into one mp3. One of their songs plays in the right channel and one in the left. Normally, doing this with two songs would produce something that is completely un-listenable. Not so with Nickelback. The songs are in the same key, have the same tempo, and use the same chord changes. I really don’t need to say any more – you just have to listen to see how ridiculous and perhaps uncreative these guys are.

Edit…I went out to the iTunes Music Store and listened to the samples for these two songs just to verify that they hadn’t been altered…nope tempo/key/etc are *exactly* the same. Funny stuff.

Didn’t know I had a twin.
