What If the Bachelorette Was Polyamorous?

Listener FTW! (TV)

Good question.

After all, in past seasons, when the central character gets down to two or three suitors, she usually confesses to the cameras that she has developed intense feelings or even fallen in love with more than one guy this has been true in The Bachelor as well. Cue screeching brakes, folks, because thats where my fantasy ends. After that, it reverts back to its monogamous ways, emphasizing that she must choose. She must pick one. Its always been about The One all along. Why couldnt she have ridden into the sunset with both Jason and Jesse? Why didnt one of the relatives suggest this idea during one of those hometown-dates-cum-interrogations? Why couldnt the men make a pact to make it work—because, after all, they both love her. DeAnna, listen: You didnt have to break anyones heart You couldve picked them both and been the first truly polyamorous Bachelorette

Wouldn’t ever happen, though. Producers SAY they want to be edgy, but rarely are they ever.

Digital hi-def content more important than Blu-ray

Really? I loved the ideals and everything behind HD-DVD but now that’s gone now we’re starting to hear the VP Interactive Entertainment at Microsoft push Digital Downloading in HD. Now to be fair everyone was on the digital download revolution for sometime but now it looks like it’s heating up again. Here’s my problem, how? You got telecoms that have taken billions if not trillions of dollars to upgrade their infrastructure and we have what? According to a quick google search somewhere between 1.5Mbps to 5Mbps depending on your state. You can’t even push across a DVD in real time at those speeds. Sure with some AVC encoding it is plausible to get a reasonable stable SD content that will fill your TV with minimal pixelation and dropouts. Now you punch that up to HD and you start to see the early 1990’s where you had to buffer a quarter or more of the movie before you could watch it or fear the dreaded cliffhanger scenario while you wait for the download to continue. What does all this mean to Joe Sixpack? It means either queue up your downloads overnight or wait for Verizon to come knocking on your door and offer salvation. Ma’ Bell et all is not going to be providing decent rollouts of ADSL2 anytime soon and even that is only 12Mbps to 24Mbps so it could still dampen the HD streaming party. I know my next move will be planned around a Verizon fiber install and if you care about downloading anything relatively high-def you will to.

The 8 Worst Game Character Makeovers Ever

I will say Bomberman and Sub-Zero are HORRIBLE, they should be taught in all game design classes as an example of how not to update a character. Solid Snake is eh, doesn’t really bother me that he has a mullet, he always struck me as a loner anyway and we know they don’t cut their hair with anything but a leatherman. Now Lara Croft I think is a bad choice, the updated version they chose definitely has a more feminine quality to her while the older version looks like her torpedoes are being pushed aside by to invisible miniature bulldozers. What are you thoughts?

Now that the cigarette smoke has cleared, thanks to the ban that went into effect in January, bar goers are sniffing some bad odors.

Using odor-gauging equipment called a Nasal Ranger field olfactometer, smell expert Dr. Alan Hirsch identified 46 different odors at a Gold Coast bar in May. The top odor contributors were a musty/earthy/moldy smell that tends to come from wood, a urine-like scent, a sour/acid/vinegar odor that could come from residual alcohol, and of course the odors of sweat and beer.
