America

It’s not too early to be thinking about the future of this country and who’s going to lead it. Election after election we’re given the “choice” between two unappealing candidates and have no choice but to vote for the one we dislike less. But now, that’s about to change.
Stepping up to the forefront of politics is a new type of leader, motivated by his love for his country, not special interest groups. His distinct image and captivating voice you already know, and now it’s your chance to make him the leader of the people, for the people, by the people. That’s right… Christopher Walken is running for President.
Now, at this early stage of the campaign, is when the grass-roots voters like us can really influence the candidates we’ll see in the elections. So take a few minutes to visit the Walken 2008 home page, read about the man and his ideas, and send them a message of your support. This is how the system should work, and now’s your chance to have your voice. Don’t let it slip away!
Sincerely,
-A caring citizen

Ticketmaster

ARGH.

I was going to surprise my BF with some last-minute show tickets for next week. So I log into Ticketmaster, devil that they are, and do a search on the show. I was very pleasantly surprised to find that the tickets were only $25 – this is for three acts, mind you, so I think that’s great.

Then I went to the next screen on the devil Ticketmaster’s site.

  • FULL PRICE TICKETS = US $25.00 x 2
  • Total Convenience Charge(s) = US $6.75 x 2
  • Order Processing Charge(s) = US $4.00
  • Will Call = No Charge
  • TOTAL CHARGES = US $67.50

All I have to say is: damn. The devil Ticketmaster is going to charge me $6.75 convenience charge per ticket? I hate to break it to them, but buying things online isn’t that convenient anymore – it’s more like the norm now. And they are going to charge me $4 for processing charges? I am PICKING UP MY TCIKETS AT WILL CALL. Seriously, is that very hard to process? I don’t think so.

And so the surprise was a nice idea, I still think. But I am a cheap bastard so I’m not sure it’s going to happen…
