So Best Buy is selling guitar amps now?

and not just kid shit. They’ve had the little stuff for a while. But evidently now it’s getting serious.

I stopped into one on my lunch break to check out some laptops (I HATE the new layouts they’ve got in all the stores now btw…feels way too…I dunno, off), and I was greeted by a Marshall full stack & head in the entryway thing.

WTF?

Maybe this won’t be as strange to people that aren’t “into” electric guitars (and shit)…but to me this is shades of the Twilight Zone. Now, I didn’t go check …but I’m just going to go out on a limb and wager that you can’t bring in your guitar (or grab a sweet Jag off the rack :) :) ), plug it into one, and crank that shit.

Just a guess. Hell, maybe you can.

But if you can’t…WTF?

Because that’s how you shop for an amp. I suppose if you find out that they have a great deal on an amp, you could go try it out at a guitar shop (or the Guitar World right down the street from this Best Buy), then come back here and buy it without ever touching it…but that rings really false to my inner artist. Both pretentious and not.

Vanilla & Hammer….together again. In Utah? WTF

From Newsweek, via Ta-Nehisi, wtf!

Wow and quadruple wow.

So, so rich. And creamy!

Oh gawd, it’s sour, sour sour.

Food poisoning. Maybe.

what…the…fu

ck?

Discuss.

PS. The Japanese are WEIRD.

this story needs more press

I don’t usually post for single links (but who knows, maybe I’ll start, some things do need more discussion) but this story was so vile that I had to.

Plainclothes police officers beat and attempt to kidnap a 12 year old girl. Father charged with assaulting police officers for trying to stop 3 men from dragging his daughter into a van.

ARE Y O U F U C K I N G K I D D I N G M E?

This is probably the worst “stupid cop” (not to mention racist) I’ve heard in years, and these guys should be locked the fuck up. I hope the family gets a LOT of money from the city/cop shop and those cop lose their jobs and (as some commenters suggested) get flagged as sex offenders. Let’s see how they like having their lives ruined. That poor girl.

[edit: For the sake of blog courtesy, I found the story here. It is also on digg...so MAYBE it will make it to the mainstream media. I hope so. ]

WTF of the day: Nigerian cat-woman

Huh. Ok, so they’re superstitious. I get it.

Poor 3rd cat I guess.

WTF of the day: people line up at 24hr Apple store for no reason

You can’t make this shit up.

OK, I get it. You’re so used to lining up for random shit that Apple people tell you is cool that somehow, subconsciously you decided that maybe the reverse would work: line up and random shit will appear.

But seriously guys, this is taking a bit far.

I like how the improv everywhere guy has already said it’s not them. Because that was my second though, right after pod-person stupidity and right before “maybe there actually is something coming out and they know about it and the rest of the internet doesn’t”.
