In my apartment we have these 2 posters hanging up in the living room. The one i brought is a cool cartoon poster of Amsterdam, and the one Russell, my super religious do gooder roommate brought is one of those motivational posters that just says "Goals" and a picture that makes one think of goals. Whenever I walk into the room i see it like a huge conflict of interest. Its like... Amsterdam?? or goals.... Amsterdam, or goals???

The other day i saw this commercial on tv for a new exercise contraption that you are supposed to hold onto while doing aerobics and stuff. Its a long skinny pole that you hold above your head, and it got me to thinking... is this how dumb America has become? They are selling a plastic exercise stick on tv in hopes that people will send them actual money to have one of these sticks without realizing that sticks are an abundant, naturally occuring, free resource available to everyone with hands. Stupid...
