If Sandy Duncan liked to talk freaky about what she did in her bedroom would that stop you from eatin' the Wheat Thins? I think not.
Why do people actually take Bill O'Reilly seriously? He's like Rush Limbaugh only even less informed and even more oblivious about his bias, which I didn't even think was possible. Apparently he called for a boycott of Pepsi because one of their commercials featured Ludacris, a rapper who has (uncharacteristically?) been known to use sexually suggestive lyrics on his CDs. So Pepsi, being the jello-spined wusses that they are, pulled the plug on the ad. Even though they've been known to use a barely clad Britney Spears, and of course the Osbornes, on recent ads. What disturbs me about this article is not that Bill O'Reilly and Pepsi are both hypocritical bigots, because really what's new and who cares, but that Bill O'Reilly has actually managed to convince even a small group of his idiot followers to not drink Pepsi due to the fact that Ludacris gets paid to drink it, too. "What? Ludacris talks dirty? We don't like them soda-drinkin' dirty talkers! And we vote!" There are many good reasons not to drink Pepsi, namely its swill-like flavor, but this is not one of them.

You can read about it if you want, but really I was just ranting.
