The Curve is back

For those who don't know what 'The Curve" is, it is the argument I have that sometimes my blog sets the trends rather than follows them, and things that I have a tendency of mentioning pop up down the road.  You might remember from a while back that I posted a video of a neat little toy called the Shake Weight, and in the video it kind of looked like the guy was beating off.  For those that missed that touching gem, allow me to attach a link right here.  Now note the date I posted the video, July 1st.  Why is that significant you may ask, because this piece would show up on the local news a mere two weeks later.  True it is the female version of the masturbation weight, but lets be honest kids, we know exactly where they got the idea, don't we?

A quick curve update

Oct 16th of 2007 I wrote........(via the old 360 blog)

 

"And lastly on the internet front and the photo at the top of the blog entry is one Sarah Palin. I knew very little about her, but was intrigued when I saw her on Charlie Rose this past Friday. I didn't know exactly who she was, I just knew that she had this schoolmarm-ish hotness about her, so I was intrigued to learn some more. She is a Republican and the Governor of Alaska, but what is fascinating is that, in a age where Republicans as a whole are not doing well in the polls, she is very much the exception to the rule, having the highest approval rating of any governor in the United State, with the lowest approval number I have seen being 84% (with a 5% disapproval number). Mind you, I get that Alaska is very much a Republican state, but 84% is an impressive number for anyone, any where and at any time. After reading up on her (and oggling her photos more than I would like to admit), I can say that while I do not agree with all of her stands on issues per se, it is still refreshing to see someone in public service actually work for their constituents, rather than simply paying them lip service."

Well today she is the Republican nominee for Vice President.  Damn, are we ahead of the curve here again, or what?

Welcome to the curve CNN, have a seat, someone will be right with you

I often joke that those that come here are more informed than others (at least the ones that come here and read the page, as opposed to waiting for pictures).  That being said, while doing my show prep this morning, I came across this on the CNN page.  Let's put aside the obvious fact that this really isn't news and should have no place on a news page, it is just a product video, nothing more.  Instead, take a look at the date the video was added to the CNN page, Dec 10th 2007. 

 

Why is that important you may ask?  Because we have already covered that ground here (actually on 360 but it was one of the later blogs that did transfer), in fact we did it on Oct 9th 2006, a full year ago.  With the video evidence .......Thanks for playing CNN, we have some lovely parting gifts.
