1. That depends
Edited on Thu Dec-13-07 03:03 PM by jasonc
is our avatar our slogan?

I would say that, in your case, you are saying that I should suspect my data because it might be killing me, or that it is dangerous enough to kill me...

5. This one...
Donald Rumsfeld is giving the President his daily briefing. He concludes by saying: "Yesterday, three Brazilian soldiers were killed."

"OH NO!" the President exclaims. "That's terrible!"

His staff sits stunned at this display of emotion, nervously watching as the President sits, head in hands.

Finally, the President looks up and asks, "How many is a brazillion?"

38. Unavoidably so, maybe, though not so much intentionally.
As a society, we are have been programmed to accept branding in almost every aspect of our lives. In the case of celebrities, they are their own brand. And we are a celebrity-obsessed culture.

If I am a brand now, I want some fucking money.
