grammar nazi fail

it’s one thing to be anal about grammar. it’s another to be anal about grammar and fuck up at it.

let me be, please.

i wish rabble-rousers would wait until the whole bombay issue is sorted out before they start sms’ing me that i should vote for them. and if you really want my vote, get your spellings right.

this morning, i get a message from jg abrol ( i don’t know who he is either) that we “can no longer afford a week government.” i’m with you on that. but we don’t really need another two-week government, either.

keep me out of this whole thing, will you? i’m not registered to vote, even. i’m just a malayali.

snap my picture!!!

anyone been watching utv world movies? there are certain things about it that bug me to no end… conceptually, it’s a good idea. international films, 24 hours a day. with a bit of hollywood thrown in.

but really, 6 movies a day, including repeats? and a name that’s a rip off of two rival channels? and unnecessary censoring? and english subtitles on english films? and incorrect ones, at that?

i was watching scary movie 2 the other night, and there’s this one bit that’s a spoof on charlie’s angels. you know the bit with the prodigy’s smack my bitch up. that’s right… censored lyrical subtitles: snap my picture!

icontrol: the tv is your masseur

mtnl has just launched its version of tivo, called icontrol. with a slogan that is typically sarkari in more ways than one: “tv is servant.” and what does this servant do? besides recording your programs, it even offers maalish services.

icontrol - the tv is your masseur

that’s right… dth and regular cable guys don’t give you that, do they?

they’re all toes… all five of them

hindustan times was a fairly decent paper until recently. and i’m only judging by the standards of its rival, the times of india. one thing that pisses me off is that they’ve started selling the front page to advertisers. not ad spots on the front page, the entire front page.

that’s crap enough on its own, and then they create mutants, like the guy who met with an accident and lost his “toe and fingers” of his left foot.

foot-fingers

the digits on your foot are called toes, retards. yes… all five of them. unless you’re sithandra, in which case they’re all fingers. yes… all five of them.
