Auto-Tune furthers the downfall of music.
If you were fortuanate enough to never hear a song that uses Auto-Tune (or, Pitch correction), let me explain what it is:
Auto-Tune is something that musicians use to correct the pitch of their vocals. Many artists use this, such as Rascal Flatts and Avril Lavigne. You probably din't notice it, because they use it on such a small scale, or because most of their vocals come out on a correct pitch.
However, listen to any T-Pain or Lil Wayne song, and you'll notice that they sound like robots. This is because they use auto-tune, on every single vocal.
This wasn't so bad when they were the only few artists using this technology, but now it's hard to find a song on mainstream radio that doesn't overuse it. Honestly, they don't sound that good at all. Especially, that Tik Tok song... oh god.
Oh well, at least she's pretty hot.
What makes me mad though is that it seems that you need to have no talent to become famous in the music industry anymore...?
WHICH IS WHY I HAVE JUST DECIDED TO LAUNCH MY RAP CAREER HOME BOY
Heh?
What, another Droid phone?
The Droid Eris, apparently old news now.
So, Google just released a brand new, Android-based, phone, called the Nexus One, which was built by HTC...
...Only about two months after the Droid Eris, an Android-Based phone, built by HTC, and supported by Google.
The phone costs $179, with the T-Mobile plan, which is relatively cheap for these kinds of things, but who is going to buy a new expensive piece of technology, when the almost-same exact thing was released just a short time earlier? Nobody, that's who.
OK, well, some people.
5 Reasons Why Barack Obama is a Badass
5: The voice.
Barack Obama's voice is one of both myth and legend. His is one that would make the ghost of Gregory Peck go weep in a corner.
His tits-tastic voice is apparently accredited to his occasional smoking, which is now the best excuse to smoke cigarettes ever.
4: He can fly.
Sure, in this picture, it may look like he's playing basketball with these people, but he is actually taking flight so he can fight evil Martians, so he decides to borrow their basketball to throw at the Martians, even though he could easily fight them with bare hands/voice.
3: He thinks that Kanye West is a jackass
When the President of the United States says that you're a jackass, you've got some problems.
2: He's a bro.
In a photo taken from the "Beer Summit", Barack Obama is seen fist-bumping Joe Biden.
1: He's a ninja.
During an interview with CNBC, swatting a pesky fly/communist with ninja accuracy. This can only lead us to believe that he is actually a ninja assassin, who is the President of the United States part-time.
The 5 Ugliest Men that Women think are Sexy
5: Taylor Lautner
Why Chicks are fawning over him: Played Jacob in Twilight and New Moon. Appeared shirtless most of the movie.
Why he is ugly: Look at those teeth.
4: Chad Kroeger
Why Chicks are fawning over him: Lead vocalist of... Nickelback. Urrggghhh...
Why he is ugly: His beard is decent enough. His hair just looks kind of misplaced on him. There's also something a little off about his face, but I can't put my finger on it.
3: Owen Wilson
Why chicks are fawning over him: Famous movie star. Also played the same character in all of those movies.
Why he is ugly: His nose is gigantic, for one. Also, you can clearly see that he is sucking in his gut in that picture.
2: Adolf Hitler
Why chicks are fawning over him: Led a Nazi regime in an attempt to take over the world. Killed millions of people.
Why he is ugly: Parted hair is so out! Also, what was he thinking with that mustache!?
(sorry, couldn't think of a #2)
1: Robert Pattinson
Why chicks are fawning over him: Guess.
Why he is ugly: He always looks like he is either stoned or sleepy. He also looks like he is always wearing lipstick. Also, he completely lacks a personality.

(this article is a joke. don't take it seriously.)
Carriers is actually pretty good.
She's totally asking for it.
As of late, I haven't had much hope for zombie movies, or just horror movies in general. It seems that the only "scares" that you get in modern horror films are just cheap "boo!" scares, where something just jumps out at you. It doesn't scare you, it startles you.
Carriers is a pretty different story. It's hardly a zombie film, but you still have a deadly, easily contagious, disease that's already killed most of the planet. The 'zombies' don't hobble around, or eat flesh or anything, they just breathe on you, and boom, you're fucked.
This movie doesn't really have any "boo" moments, with actually makes it really go0d. You really begin to know how these characters are feeling, with the immense amount of fear and isolation. Very immersive.
What really makes this movie a treat to watch is Chris Pine's (you probably know him as playing Captain Kirk in the new Star Trek) character. It's funny, because his character is such an asshole. He leaves people alone to die if he finds out that they have the disease, shoots innocent people, etc. It's both funny, and awesome.
The ending almost had me in tears, however. I don't want to spoil much, but it's a major fucking tear jerker.
In total, pretty good, even though I didn't go in with high expectations, I still recommend it.

Top 5 Worst Fashions of the Decade
Ah, so 2009 is over, and the decade known as the New Millennium has pretty much ended. But, just think about it for a second, the NM blew ass. 9/11, the war in the Middle East, and nu-metal. It was a pretty shit decade.
One of the worst things about this decade, though, was the fashion. I wouldn't really call myself a fashionable person, but I know what looks good and what doesn't. So now, I'm going to list the five worst fashions of the NM.
5: Crocs
When I was younger, I had a pair of a shoes that were made out of the same material that Crocs are made from. My feet also smelt like shit on a daily basis. That is why, when you combine rubber and foot sweat, you get a smell so strong it would knock over a damn building.
4: Uggs
They're called 'Uggs' because when you see someone wearing them, you think "Uuuuggg." *badum-tish*
3: "Hollywood" sunglasses
These things looks incredibly stupid. They are so huge! It's also a lot worse when you combine them with a FGAS and duckface.
2: A chihuahua
Sure, they're cute. But, they don't do much but poop, and occasionally eat that poop. Also, if you carry an animal of any kind in your purse, you do not deserve to have an animal.
1: Skinny Jeans
Sure, tight jeans have had their place in fashion since the 70's, but they have never looked as ridiculous as they do now. They come in all kinds of uncomfortable textures, and horribly tacky colours. Sure, they look good on chicks, but you know a dude has to be in pain whenever they wear pants like those.
