Paranoia Attack
That title is dedicated to Evil Sid, up in Carrboro, NC who is without internet access and cannot post regularly. It's the title of a song on a burned CD that she sent me, which I believe is the only CD that was traded in the Great Blogland CD Club.
Well Wacko Jacko is not guilty on all charges. Every last one. Sorry to the kid's mom. No soup for you. Sorry to the kid who was manipulated by his mom and was probably a little greedy himself for agreeing, "You could get an Xbox! Or an Xbox 360 next year! and a PS3!" But most importantly, I'm sorry for all the California taxpayers who have to pay for yet another high profile trial.
And it finally happened, Wal-Mart to stop selling VHS. It was inevitable. So to everyone hoarding VHS tapes and buying them all up, because they are now collector's items, good luck and just ignore those LaserDisc hoarders saying "It isn't worth it, no one wants this shit." Someone is going to want it, and they're gonna set you up for life. I still have my baseball cards. Retirement fund yo.
Update:
Never mind. Wal-Mart still selling VHS
Sorry, got caught up in the hype.
I read an interesting article in Playboy this morning. It's about the herb trade in Canada, or more accurately growing it in Canada and then shipping it to the States. Very interesting. It actually said that they're shipping it to Hawaii because it is so much cheaper than growing it there. And roughly 50,000 Canadians grow and most still hold other jobs. And they're not in the mafia or gangs. But the thing I found most interesting is that the US market for the sticky has never been satisfied. There are always people who will buy more. So apparently it's all demand down here. But what got me the most were the prices they were quoting. It really is crazy cheap and it is very high quality. I won't go into it because it makes me feel like a sucker, but if you're interested in it because you want to know more, or you saw the article in Forbes magazine about the herb trade, I suggest going to pickup a copy of this month's Playboy.
Here are a few Forbes article about the scourge of society.
Vancouver growers
Few factoids from Forbes
The nutrient company supplying the growers with fertilizer, and how they have tons of money
