So. I just need to get off my chest.

I finally hunted down this damn commercial about my store raising prices and guess what?

WE ARE RAISING OUR PRICES VIA LESS THAN A CENT PEOPLE.

For the past two weeks we've had customers coming in and complaining (seriously, they aren't even asking us about it, just bitching) about how we're raising our prices. This entire time we've had no idea what in the world they've been talking about. People have been saying we were drastically raising our prices over a dollar, to saying we're changing various items in the store or just not carrying it anymore. So I found the comercial right. It says we're going up from '.99' to '99.9' cents. Um. THAT'S LESS THAN A PENNY if you think about it. The only things in the store that do not have tax on them are food items. Anything that can be consumed outside of medicine is automatically .99 cents and under. :/ So far in the store it's been implimented that items that were once 7 for a dollar are like 4 or 3 for a dollar and that some items once 59 cents are now 79 cents. People make it sound like its the end of the world, geez.




People are freaking out over BoA taking a shot at the U.S. market and I will admit, I don't like her that much. Most of it is rather generic to me and has gotten stale over the years but I like this new song she has coming out. What I don't like? The music video for is terrible ): Yet on her new english site, she also has the Korean mv which looks totally better. I have a feeling she's going to get laughed out the building for the video but I think she might have a bigger impact than Utada's first album. It looks like her company is actually going to promote her instead of ignoring her until its too late.

Here's the English version and Korean Version, judge for yourself. If she somehow makes an impact I hope this means Korea and Japan will risk trying to send more artists over, I'd love to see Wonder Girls or Big Bang or Epik High out here. :)

trinity_lims has reopened prelims for Round 2, I'm working on the banner now to advertise it. :)

'Twilight' Fans Furious After Russell Brand Cuts Off Robert Pattinson At VMAs
'That's basically a FRICKIN SIN in the fandom,' one Twilighter fumes.



Ok. I know, I know, 'omg i understand you don't like twilight' yea. I thought I wasn't going to talk about it anymore but this just brings the LOLZ. Harry Potter fandom is crazy, hell I'd love for someone to cause drama in Star Wars just to see the world war effect it'd do to people. :/ At least they have a reason to freak out imo.

But this is ridiculous.

People are attacking the man for cutting someone off, yes, its rude but to the extreme these fans are taking it to is beyond ridiculous. It's ludicrious.

"F--- U Russell for interrupting Spunk!" a reader named Nightmare and Dream commented, using a nickname Pattinson earned from one of his "Twilight" Tuesday appearances on MTV. "Rob has an amazing hot voice, and we only heard 1.5 words from him!"

That just speaks for its self. You can find the story here
