If This Is Real, I Am NEVER Going Into A Sewer
It could be a hoax, but it's a damned good one if it is. Holy crap.

I don't want to add to all the hype, but it seems wrong not to say something. The guy was many things to many people, and he did some questionable things. But as a performer, he really was something else. This one's for G$.
Genius product. Just slam the big red button and it takes you to a spreadsheet or screensaver. Right now it's $5, but even at $8 or even $15, it's well worth it.
Another reason I LOVE Ebert sometimes. Here, he outlines exactly why I can't stand the blowhard Bill and his propaganda politics and reporting.
Bill O'Reilly has been brought low by the same process that afflicted Jerry Springer. Once respected journalists, they sold their souls for higher ratings, and follow their siren song. Springer is honest about it: "I'm going to Hell for what I do, and I know it," he's likes to say. O'Reilly insists he is dealing only with the truth. When his guests disagree with him, he shouts at them, calls them liars, talks over them, and behaves like a schoolyard bully.
The seven propaganda devices include:
* Name calling -- giving something a bad label to make the audience reject it without examining the evidence;
* Glittering generalities -- the opposite of name calling;
* Card stacking -- the selective use of facts and half-truths;
* Bandwagon -- appeals to the desire, common to most of us, to follow the crowd;
* Plain folks -- an attempt to convince an audience that they, and their ideas, are "of the people";
* Transfer -- carries over the authority, sanction and prestige of something we respect or dispute to something the speaker would want us to accept; and
* Testimonials -- involving a respected (or disrespected) person endorsing or rejecting an idea or person.
Surely the writers of this jingle weren't expecting it to get made. I mean, come on.
It all went to plan. Sing crappy song, strut like a douche, run straight into the set and break your nose. Perfection.
Well, hopefully. It basically uses high pressure air to literally pull the water off your hands (and away from you). Great!
When they say 100% of your daily iron dose, they ain't kidding!
