I cannot describe in words how much I miss my old mill apartment. A small waterfall to fall asleep to every night, exposed brick and beam, amazingly high ceilings. GAAAAAH.

Wow.

I cannot wait to see Gronk use his Hamburger Helper mitts on Super Bowl Sunday. The Pats need him more than any other player other than Brady himself, not just to catch balls but to go to work against that D-line.

Accurate.

True story. I remember driving past this last year I believe it was. Everyone was waiting for it to drop. And it never did. Not on it’s own at least LOL

Put this way, it sounds so simple. And actually, it should be this simple.

Unfortunately, this discounts the fact that Hollywood is run by people with their heads up their asses. Like this guy. It’s a fucked up nightmare of politics and greed. It’s amazing that anything good comes out of the system at all — it’s a testament to the true creative talent behind the films themselves. 

You can bet that Apple, Amazon, Google, Microsoft, and all the rest have tried to talk Hollywood into the system above. They’ve probably been doing it for a decade, if not longer. Instead, we get bullshit like UltraViolet — a giant middle finger to consumers.

While I would LOVE the model above to be reality, I don’t think piracy can BE killed.

The generation of kids entering middle school right are used to getting what they want for free.  Sure, you grow up, you get a little more money, you do the right thing more often (maybe).  But there’s a mentality ingrained in people my age and younger that’s hard to fight.

I won’t disagree that there is an entire generation of kids that feel they are owed everything, but a model like the one above would certainly be the closest thing to a win-win for consumers and Hollywood.

Life’s Little Victory of the Day: Sainsbury’s announced today that it was bowing to social network pressure, and renaming its tiger bread “giraffe bread” per Lily Robinson’s suggestion.

The three-year-old wrote the supermarket chain last year to ask why tiger bread is called tiger bread, suggesting it be renamed “giraffe bread” to better match its appearance.

Customer service manager Chris King wrote Lily back to explain that the bread was named by a baker long ago who “thought it looked stripey like a tiger.” However, King sided with Lily, calling her renaming idea “brilliant.”

After thousands of social network users hopped aboard the Giraffe Bread Express, the company caved and decided to move forward with the name change.

“In response to overwhelming customer feedback that our tiger bread has more resemblance to a giraffe, from today we will be changing our tiger bread to giraffe bread and seeing how that goes,” said Sainsbury’s in a statement.

Congrats everybody. We did it.
