I fucking hate this. Why do people who buy the DVD get punished for making a purchase when the people who download shit illegally face no such repercussions? Good job, MPAA, good fucking job... fuckin asshats...

Yup, not saying I condone such actions, just saying the MPAA is fuckin stupid for punishing the people who actually purchase their DVDs and such. The same holds true for PC game security, like secuROM and shit (the most notable example being Spore, which was the most heavily piracy-protected game probably ever, and quickly became the most pirated game of all time)

Um...all I have to do is press Menu and I skip all the previews. Of course, if it's that goddamn THX ad or "OH HEY, THIS IS A DVD! I'M ADVERTISING THE FACT THAT THIS IS INDEED A DVD", then no such luck. But previews? Screw 'em.

-I have suffered the ultimate humiliation. The final, demoralizing blow. The definitive low point in the spectrum of twentysomething life. That’s right, I’ve moved back home with my parents. Fuck me.
-Now, before you feel too sorry for me, I must disclose that this was actually a voluntary decision. Since Brian, my roommate of three and a half years, was moving out and our lease was ending, I had two choices: spend the month of December scouring the freezing streets of Manhattan with some dipshit apartment broker wearing too much Drakkar cologne, or sack up and move to LA. Both are a fate worse than death. Instead, I took the third option: move in with the ‘rents for a couple of months. So here I am on Long Island, writing this column in the room I grew up in, staring at posters of John Starks and Kathy Ireland.
-I do have some responsibility around the house, though. Like I have to take out the garbage and wash the dishes. And I don’t even get allowance. Think you’re discouraged about the lack of upward mobility in the job market? Look at me. I’m twenty-five years old and I have the same job I had in junior high, plus I took a 100% pay cut.
-Of course, the number one drawback to living at home is the increased difficulty in meeting chicks. Luckily, with a girlfriend I can visit on the weekends, I don’t have to deal with this problem. Otherwise, I don’t know what I would do if I was picking up girls in bars: “Hey, why don’t we go back to my place? Yeah, um, there’s a 3:44am train out of Penn Station. Oh, and I sleep on a twin bed with football helmet sheets.”
