Things are good because we do them!

It’s not a brand name. Two American companies picked different compound abbreviations at roughly the same time, and somehow one name spread here and the other name spread everywhere else.

My parents had one where it slid down, and my grandfather had one where it slid up. They looked otherwise identical.

Some thanksgivings we’d have both at the same table and it drove me up the fucking wall.

In the UK it’s mandatory, ostensibly to prevent deliberate overdoses. You can’t buy a big bottle of acetaminophen.

In part because they call it paracetamol.

And it’s made them aggressive, unlike the common house hippo.

Toll bridges say, fuck off.

RIP bash.org.

Thanks, Amazon, for motivating a bunch of people to fucking hate you.

Because it’s traumatic imagery being shoved in people’s faces. I don’t give a shit whether it works.

I already don’t smoke and never will - but I have to be exposed to that shit, just looking at the wrong part of a shelf. You could probably put pictures of exploded rat carcasses and starving children on there, apropos of nothing, and yeah no kidding it’ll impact sales!

No practical goal justifies putting this Rotten.com gore and shock content on commodity consumer goods. You wanna reduce sales? Tax it more. Don’t commit psychological warfare against anyone who glances upward at a gas station.

If you mean more traumatic images in people’s faces, fuck off.

We get:

You get:

• Less than nothing

What a fucking great deal!
