I hate it when my Mexican neighbors to the south can drive up in my neck of the woods in their FREAKING cool late model (if not brand new) French Peugeot automobile while driving in the US yet Americans are not allowed to import them let alone own or operate one as they would be blocked at the port of entry. Something like "Automobiles Peugeot does not manufacture vehicles that conform to current United States regulations. For this reason it is unfortunately impossible for anyone to import a Peugeot model into the USA . Should anybody attempt to do so, the vehicle will be blocked at the port of arrival and will not be allowed to be operated in the USA and Canada ."
NO, not everyone likes the stupid flip-phones and slider phones... give us some decent 'candy-bar' handsets.
Samsung, LG... you have better models in Asian & European markets.. why the f*** don;t you get them here in the US?
I was in Korea a few weeks ago. My Sprint/Samsung UpStage was something of a head-turner there, since they don't seem to have it (like our market, it's mostly flip phones and sliders. . . grrr). It also happens to be a candy bar phone. You might want to check it out.
Assorted other replies:
I would agree with the comment on the metric system. grass roots. Enjoying the 15 degree night-time weather here. Strangely, I think, officially the US is a metric country, it's just that there's not the tie-in from official policy to commercial application. Anyway, grass roots.
Peugeots are nice, but what I really want is an Alfa. I know that import used to be banned due to part ownership by Mr. Qadafi, but he has sold his shares since then, and every year they say they're going to re-enter the US market, but alas, no luck. I'm not sure what the issue is, if it's tariffs or marketing data. The Alfas look so good that I don't even mind the fact that they (like the good-looking french cars, too) aren't so reliable.

Give me back my NFL network and stop raising my bill 30 cents PER MONTH. I also want more than 3 HD channels for $140 a month.
stop giving out your trashy mobile phone handsets tied to your plans... give us a choice of better models.
NO, not everyone likes the stupid flip-phones and slider phones... give us some decent 'candy-bar' handsets.
NO, not everyone likes an antenna sticking out of the phone... that design is obsolete in many other parts of the globe... give us a decent model with internal antenna.
Windows mobile sucks... give some decent Linux smartphones... bribe/sue Apple into breaking the 2 year exclusive with AT&T for the iPhone.

Nokia... where the f*** are you? how come no one in the US knows about your handests & how user-friendly they (well, most of them) are?
Samsung, LG... you have better models in Asian & European markets.. why the f*** don;t you get them here in the US?
Kyocera... you suck... stop making s**t & labeling them as handsets.
Palm, you were big... got it?... note the emphasis on "WERE"... past tense... shed some weight... you can do better
Motorola... weren't you guys the first in mobile handsets? what the f*** happened? it's not all about how it looks... your UI sucks! improve!!!
...
Blackberry... well, nothing much against you guys... just make sure you don't lose touch with reality...
...
Apple/iPhone... perhaps not all hope is lost yet... kick ass while you can... before wisdom dawns upon the others... for now, you're untouchable, baby!!

just my 2c after being in the US for 3 months & seeing what pathetic s**t is sold here as mobile phones...

I am well aware that this is our country. I think, perhaps, it finally dawned on me the thousandth time I saw that commercial in week 2 of the last nfl season.
Die already. Just die. Die in a fire. Get hit by a bus, train or white Bronco SUV. Get shanked by your prison cell-mate. Just go away so this retarded media and it's sheeple can move on to something else stupid to occupy their insatiable hunger for all things mundane.
Can we get the number of minutes of ads down to say... 55 minutes per hour. You've totally lost me as a listener when you decided to up it to 57 minutes of ads per hour.
I don't want to have construction crews all over the place During the night they are working at the railway tracks directly opposite to my bedroom, they are making holes in the street everywhere, and they are building and rebuilding everything around my working place.
Can't they work fast, quietly and with at least a minimum quality?
The left lane is intended for passing. Getting on to a highway does not mean immediately pulling over to the left lane because you are afraid of driving on the highway and maybe having your driving experience ruined because others are getting on the highway if you occupy lanes further to the right.
And if you see someone in the left lane bearing down on you, PULL OVER TO THE RIGHT, so that car can pass.
Occupying the left lane just because you are doing the speed limit is not the point!

Also, if you're going inordinately faster than the speed limit, don't expect cars to swerve out of the way just for your impatient ass. That said, left-lane drivers, please don't be overprotective of the left-lane. Unless there's a really slow moving car or truck within reasonable distance up ahead, get out of the left lane!
I'm proposing a reality television show whereby I get to hunt down and kill anyone previously associated with a reality television show either in front or behind the camera. The show will end after I kill my camera operator, leave the camera on the tripod and then off myself so no vestiage of reality programming or people making it are left. It sucks to die, but it would be for the good of the planet if reality television were just gone.

It's done entirely "in show" as a fictional reality series wherein citizens are selected by lottery to participate, the game being to survive and be the last player alive. If you try to flee, you end up on a "Cops" type show where you are depicted as a craven criminal that left the authorities no choice but to gun you down.
Dead-on recreation of the reality show vibe (and it was made before the genre really took off), complete with manipulative editing and music to create "heroes" and "villains" (not to mention a sinister hijacking of "reality" towards the end).
Mostly focuses on the plucky pregnant lady that has survived the previous six rounds and stands to win the ultimate prize: being allowed to leave the show.

The word "like" does not need to be interjected into, between, and around every phrase or sentence that comes out of your mouth.
