I don’t quite get this bumper sticker

Posted on by

"Plants & animals disappear to make room for your fat ass" is the phrase for this bumper sticker. To be honest, I don't quite get the message bumper sticker is meant to convey in this context. The phrase can't be an anti-car message -- otherwise the "fat ass" could end up being self-referential. Is the sentence an anti-SUV message, in which case the "fat ass" is that of big cars? Maybe the driver is really thin, so possibly fewer plants and animals died for the driver's thin ass.

Anyone help me understand this?

CD Sampler at Barnes and Noble

visual screen for the CD sampler

At the local Barnes and Noble, I came across a gadget that let customers sample any CD in the store by swiping the barcode reader with the CD of choice. My initial reaction was "cool!"; I was lulled into believing that I can listen to any CD and everything on it. Too good to be true: 30 second clips; not every track was available. The reality made more sense than the fantasy of having a celestial jukebox at the local bookseller. Even though I could listen to more music than before, I was still disappointed that I could not listen to everything that I wanted to.

housing bubble?

TechnologyReview.com - Housing Bubble:

    Didier Sornette's and Wei-Xing Zhou's analysis differs from just two years ago, when there was no sign of the faster-than-exponential growth characteristic of a bubble. Their conclusions are strengthened by their successful prediction of a housing bubble in the United Kingdom in 2003, where housing prices began dropping in July 2004. Their analysis is nifty, and the mathematics are simple and straightforward. "Soon" might be a good time to sell.

I'm planning to read Zhou's and Sornette's Is There a Real-Estate Bubble in the US?. I'm really scared to buy a house right now -- but it's also scary not to!
