Rejected "Transformers: The Movie" concepts II

Part I

This addition could have easily shaved a good 25 minutes off the end:


Yes I'm a nerd, yes part of me wishes I was still 7 years old, yes it is a testament to the power of miracles that a girl has ever let me touch her special place, yes FUCK YOU.

A short list of things that piss me off addendum

When I proclaimed my total and complete hatred of buzzwords way back when in A short list of things that piss me off Volume I, I arbritrarly selected "Extreme" and "Business Solution" as perhaps being the most irritating. So imagine my astonishment when someone directed me to this website:
http://www.teamebs.com
That's right, motherfucking EXTREME BUSINESS SOLUTIONS. The name conjures images of servers being delivered via kayak; if this were actually the case, EBS would be entitled to some forgiveness. Alas, the board must be comprised entirely of dullards (finally I get to use that word without legal recourse!), who randomly smooshed together the most popular buzzwords of the day to form the basis of a seemingly non-functional company.
Tools:
As your business partner, Extreme Business Solutions defines your requirements to clearly understand your project objectives and goals.

Case studies:
Once your objectives are understood, we will work with you to determine which combination of tools and services best meets your organization's unique requirements.
Let us spout meaningless bullshit at you in short sentences, so that even after spending 15 minutes of reading, you still have no better idea what our company does than you did before clicking this link!

Why I hate blogs

What is the measure of a person's worth? Financial success? Philanthropic endeavours? A notable genetic footprint on generations to come? No, those are all wrong. I'll tell you; the true measure of a person's worth is friend lists. The reason that non-LJ/Mypsace users will NEVER AMOUNT TO ANYTHING is because they cannot prove how popular they are by garnering support from huge numbers of other attention whores on the Internet. The importance of friend lists is SO great, it's a wonder that no one has dedicated their ENTIRE BLOG to strictly analyzing their own online support group.

Oh wait.

Ordinarily I would just extract key posts from a blog for your viewing pleasure, but that seems to make some people upset, so I won't be doing that again until they aren't looking. Also this blog really lends itself to more of a summary format, as it's the spirit of the blog I'm trying to capture, not any particular mind-numbing post.
February 7th, 2005: Blog declared to be "Friends Only"
Did you catch that non-friends? You are not entitled to bear witness to the next post that won't appear until more than 5 months later.

July 30th, 2005: Friends cut round one
The blogging community eagerly anticipates the release of the finalised Sweet 16 list; mass suicides ensue at the news of elimination

September 9th, 2005: A twist!
People have been eliminating evilfuzzle from their friend lists! Evilfuzzle's ironclad grip on being the envy of LiveJournal is in jeopardy! Oh the humanity!!!

November 20th, 2005: Friends cut round… one?
After rightfully reclaiming his title, the remaining few with the coveted honour of residing comfortably on evilfuzzle's friend list wait with bated breath; alas, the news never arrives.
The best part of this compendium of drama-laced vanity is that it took more than 6 months to compile. Now THAT'S dedication to a cause.

Their next post was the next day if not later that day, not 5 months later. (check calendar view) I think you've missed that there is a "friends only" option so that YOU are not seeing the posts that their “friended” people are seeing. (In other words, people can pick and choose who they want to be able to see what.)
As far as I know I do not know this person, but you really ought to keep your facts straight.
The people you are tearing apart may or may not be sharing a lot more to others than you can see.
(Maybe they aren’t all that boring but they feel no need to share their stories with the world, or maybe they have a reason for what they’re saying that they would rather keep more private etc.)

Also, there are "info" pages that you seem to ignore.
This is your blog, and I really can't tell you what to put in here, but you should respect that other people use their journals for their own uses.

Wow, Patti. You really put everyone in their place with that. I didn't know that we should 'respect that other people use their journals for their own uses.' With that bit of wisdom my entire out look on the petty, self-centered blogs of others has changed. Never again will I make fun of those who willing post the embarassing minute details of their meaningless lives.

Now, now, Patti was only expressing her opinion, there is no need to be so cruel.

There'll be plenty of opportunity for that tomorrow, when I will be dedicating an entire entry to her.
