  Well, don't forget the apparent other point of the poster, which was something like: "We have hot Israeli chicks over here!"

  Re:

  And stealing them would be the least of their worries. Most would probably suggest just having the tacocopters hover high enough to be out of reach, which basically means you cannot use these in the hood or deep south, where everyone is strapped with miniature anti-aircraft weaponry....

  Re:

  The other big problem is that they're trying to deliver fucking tacos to stationary fucking people by fucking un-manned helicopters.
  
  Think for just a moment about how often you're somewhere outside and plan on being in that one spot long enough to have something airmailed to you, and how often the predominant thought in your head is, "Holy shit, I need a goddamn heaven-delivered taco right fucking now".

  Re: Kneeds...

  Actually, if Rule #34 holds, this entire concept will be somehow sued out of obvlivion by the company holding a prior patent, entitled "Pink Taco-Copter"....

  On the other hand...

  Imagine the fun of completely confusing potential terrorist groups and/or innocent funeral parties, as they go dashing for cover hearing the dulcet whine of attack drones...only to be peppered with chili-cheese burritos and serrated packages of taco sauce rather than hellfire missiles.
  
  For added fun, consider what ultimately be more deadly, a semi-accurate attack of explosives or an almost-assuredly as explosive post-Taco Bell bathroom experience?

  How does this graph not find it's way into every damned case/hearing/legislation that the MPAA and their people bring up? It's like a trump card....

  Re: Re: Re: ZERO SYMPATHY

  I was unaware until just this moment that explaining one's rationale somehow had to result in "proof". I'd say thanks for clearing that up, but that would be stupid since it's so damned idiotic.
  
  This is REALLY easy to understand if you take your head out of your ass for five seconds. Fans of MMA fighting earn the title of fan by simply ENJOYING THE DAMNED SPECTACLE. You don't have to buy to be a fan, and I'll prove that for you, since that's what you seem to need.
  
  If I have a buddy who has never seen MMA and I buy a couple of tickets and take him to a fight and he loves the everloving shit out of it....guess what? He's now a fan, despite having never paid MMA a dollar.
  
  Fans and customers are two separate fucking things, you morons. The idea here is to make sure the highest possible percentage of your fanbase are also your customer base and suing fans is quite possibly the very best method possible for ENSURING THAT DOESN'T HAPPEN.
  
  Nobody turns simple fucking concepts into complicated wrongness like some of the trolltastic almost-people on this site, I swear to god....

  Re:

  Sigh, not it's nothing like that at all. They're fans of the sport, not of the company. If you have people who are interested in your sport, you can monetize that one way or another. These people are fighting fans.
  
  But you knew all this already. You're just playing word games because you don't have an actual argument....

  Re: News should NEVER be opinionated

  While I tend to agree that I want a more factual basis for my news, we should understand that there can be a difference between analysis and obviously slanted nonsense. Fox News is the latter, and I frankly don't even know if we have a major source for the former anymore, but it COULD be done.
  
  The problem with politics and news in the modern era is that it is reported upon much in the same way that Sports Center "reports" on athletics, which is to say it's all about hype and marketing and not enough about information. Media is partly to blame for this, for perpetrating it upon us, but we're to blame for not demanding better....
