    Subject: You think gas prices are expensive.

    this would put it in a different perceptive. copy and pasted from another site :).

    thanks to Cyberflirt.



    These examples do NOT imply that gasoline is cheap;
    It just illustrates how outrageous some prices are....

    You will be really shocked by the last one!!!!
    (At least, I was..)


    Compared with Gasoline......




    Think a gallon of gas is expensive?





    This makes one think, and also puts things in perspective.




    Diet Snapple 16 oz $1.29 ... $10.32 per gallon




    Lipton Ice Tea 16 oz $1.19 .$9.52 per gallon





    Gatorade 20 oz $1.59 .... $10.17 per gallon




    Ocean Spray 16 oz $1.25 . $10.00 per gallon





    Brake Fluid 12 oz $3.15 . $33.60 per gallon





    Vick's Nyquil 6 oz $8.35 ... $178.13 per gallon





    Pepto Bismol 4 oz $3.85 .. $123.20 per gallon





    Whiteout 7 oz $1.39 ....... . $25.42 per gallon





    Scope 1.5 oz $0.99 .....$84.48 per gallon



    And this is the REAL KICKER...




    Evian water 9 oz $1.49......... .$21.19 per gallon!

    $21.19 for WATER

    and the buyers don't even know the source.



    (Evian spelled backwards is Naive.)



    Ever wonder why printers are so cheap?

    So they have you hooked for the ink.

    Someone calculated the cost of the ink at................

    you won't believe it..........

    but it is true.........................

    $5,200 a gal. (five thousand two hundred dollars)




    So, the next time you're at the pump,
    be glad your car doesn't run on
    water, Scope, or Whiteout, Pepto Bismol, Nyquil
    or , Printer Ink!!!!!




    Just a little humor to help ease the pain of your next trip to the pump...






    Makes one stop and think, doesn't it?

    And, although it's never been made in such quantities, the projected cost of a gallon of anti-water is $224,000,000,000,000,000.

    Subject: american english centric world at its best.

    Cheap loans for 'bright' Japanese
    A financial services firm in Japan has begun offering lower mortgage interest rates to "intelligent" customers.

    GE Consumer Finance Company is giving discounts to people who have good English or computer skills, and work in "high-value" areas such as the law.

    The company says more highly skilled workers usually find it easier than others to get jobs and to keep them.

    They are therefore less likely to become insolvent and default on their home loan.

    GE Consumer Finance Company claims this is the first time that mortgage rates have been calculated like this in Japan.

    People who have high scores on a test of English proficiency and officially certified IT skills can apply for a small discount.

    Those of them who also have certain jobs - such as lawyers, accountants, doctors and financial experts - can obtain further discounts.

    If a couple are both employed in the 20 "high-value" professions listed by the company, they will be entitled to a major rate reduction.

    The skills of parents, children and even siblings could also help to make the mortgage cheaper.

    its very simple no energy would be use to make it but only the sun. only products would be salt and water.

    Subject: One dedicated masturbater :O.

    Stab victim 'continued masturbating'
    Christine Kellett | June 20, 2007 - 11:44AM

    A Brisbane woman stabbed a male friend twice in the shower after he refused to stop masturbating in front of her children.

    Defence lawyers for Kylie Louise Wilson, 28, said the mother of two "lost it" when her friend of six years, Daniel Peter Blair, went on a masturbation marathon on April 6 last year.

    Brisbane's District Court this morning heard Mr Blair had showed up at Wilson's unit at Birkdale unit, in Redland Shire, where he took amphetamines before having a shower.

    Whilst in the bathroom, Mr Blair, 32, began pleasuring himself, before moving to Wilson's bedroom, where he rolled around naked on her bed and continued his lewd conduct.

    He returned to the bathroom for more and was busted by Wilson, who was attempting to bath her three-and-a-half year-old daughter.

    The court heard Mr Blair refused her repeated requests to stop, prompting her to fetch a knife from the kitchen which she used to stab him twice in the left shoulder.

    Crown prosecutors said Mr Blair paused only to put on his shorts and flee outside to wait for police to arrive, but was again overcome by the urge.

    "Despite his injury, it seems (Mr Blair) continued to masturbate while in the garage," the prosecutor said.

    Police took him to hospital where he received treatment for the minor stab wounds.

    Wilson pleaded guilty to one count each of unlawful wounding and wilful damage.

    Her defence barrister, Mark Johnson, said Wilson regarded Mr Blair as a "tolerably decent person" when he was not using drugs, but had become "extremely protective" of her daughter under the circumstances.

    "He was in and out and round about, doing this sort of thing all over the house, " Mr Johnson said.

    "She just lost it, to put it crudely."

    Senior Judge Gilbert Trafford Walker accepted the Crown's submission that Wilson had been subjected to "grossly offensive conduct ... which in a moral sense amounts to extreme provocation."

    He sentenced her to nine months' jail but ordered that she be immediately released on parole.

    armchair: do folks in your country watch this video and find it funny?
    the title of your thread reads "not a pc post" why isn't pc?
    if you know the video is offensive then why is it so funny?

    Well, at least it's a Japanese TV show poking fun at the Japanese. The presence of Chinese subtitles in addition is probably just the result of the general popularity of Japanese pop culture in China, although it's easy to imagine the Chinese delighting in their archrivals looking like such pansies.

    As for offensiveness towards blacks, based on my experiences in Asia, this is completely inadvertent and typical, and any indignation would probably be met with surprise. Again, in my experience, the Japanese and Chinese are about as knowledgeable and sensitive towards black American racial issues as, say, the average American is towards ethnic tension between Tajiks and Kyrgyz--they're generally simply not aware or conscious of the sensitivity or history.

    interesting, that's why i asked the question. i was wondering how these images are perceived by asians.

    armchair obviously feels there is something wrong with the videos be "not pc..."

    i just can't figure out what makes him think it's not pc.

    yes, I'm baiting armchair.
