Okay, I had a bad day and I have to share my insignificant rants with the world. Oh yeah… and take up some cyberspace, too.
FUZE
I recently tried out the "Refresh" flavor (actually Peach Mango) of a new juice drink, FUZE. On the side of the bottle, they tell you about all these great vitamins you're getting by drinking this stuff: Vitamins A, C, E, B3, B5, B6, B12 and Calcium. What I'd like to know is: why is this stuff only 5% JUICE!? Hell, the juice ain't even peach OR mango, it's APPLE! I got screwed. Maybe I should sue for misrepresentation of their product. It says "Mango and Peach" on the front of the bottle with pictures of the fruit, but they are not listed in the ingredients. Speaking of ingredients, FUZE also has milk, so if you let it sit out, for say a week, I wouldn't recommend drinking it.
So, I got my vitamins and something that tastes like peaches and mangos, but doesn't actually have any in there. I don't know if I'll try the other flavors I saw. I was so pissed off that I didn't even go to their stupid web page. [Horrors indeed! - Ed.]
Finding Nemo
Finding Nemo is the new Disney/Pixar movie that's due out in May. It looks really good, but once again, they can't get the great white shark down -- he has way too many teeth! In the movie, the Shark's name is Bruce. This is very funny because that's what the credits listed the mechanical shark as, in Jaws. I think that's just a very appropriate inside joke that only a few people are going to understand. They obviously looked at the Jaws poster and said "make our shark look just like that -- with lots of teeth".
So once again the movie folks got it WRONG! He's not a Mako! Well, at least he's got an Australian accent (voiced by Barry Humphries).
Where is Spring!
Okay, it's getting warmer here in Iowa and soon I'll be bitching about the 90 degree weather. I could use a few really nice days in the 70's right about now.
Would someone explain the new AOL commercial to me?
I never associated AOL and sex before. (On the other hand, AOL does have a tendency to screw you…) The little icon guy is sexy… if you're some sick and twisted cyber-nerd!
I Need Hawkgirl
I need a Justice League Hawkgirl action figure to complete my set and spell out Justice League with the base-stands (see review). I can't stand it (no pun intended)! So, if you want to make my day, please send me one.
