  Right click on the .ttf file.

  The Gray Lady and the Mobile Interweb   Complaint Department, Mobile (0)

  I don’t use CNN.com on my phone, because it sucks. I’ve sort of given up on news sites in general, but that’s a different story. The real reason I don’t use CNN.com is that after every line or two, I have to click a ‘more’ link to go to the next line. [...]

  Bad, Bad Clipart   Complaint Department, Funny Judge (0)

  Trust me: the guy on the left knows how to “enter into negotiations.” And check out how the guy on the right is just…staring right at it, as if there isn’t a big, orange, clipart wang staring him in the face. (Hint: Rollover to see the funny.)

  “Fadind”? It’s not a word, so you can’t get off on that homonym you-spelled-it-right-so-the-computer-missed-it excuse. Maybe it’s pronounced ‘FAD-ind,’ as in “I am fadind by eating lots of Crisco.” Stupid.

  Where’s The Chicken’s Justice?   Complaint Department (1)

  For the love of God. I would like to speak to the person who decided it was a good idea to have a dancing human, bad dancing human, in that Popeye’s chicken ad. The song, with that whole ‘tell me what’s your flavor’ crap, is freakin annoying. Apparently the song is a condensed and remixed [...]

  Time Magazine Invention of the Year. Really?   Complaint Department (3)

  Ok, so I used to be one of those Mac “people.” Not exactly a fanboy…girl….whatever, however I did believe they were better for “creative” stuff. I currently have a G4, G5, iPod, iPod nano and an old ass iBook all of which is destined for the e-bay very soon. Having said that, I feel I [...]

  T-Mobile Day-Pass at Starbucks   Complaint Department (0)

  Wanna know what’s annoying? When I finally get to Starbucks with my heavy ass laptop bag, order my delightful peppermint mocha, fight off the glares of way cooler chicks than me, find my comfy place in the corneriest corner in the place and then try to purchase a freakin day-pass from t-mobile and then spend [...]
