Probably the best petition ever

This morning I stumbled on this petition:


and possibly even more amusing was the signatures list:

Today begineth..

OPERATION don't kill these pansies like all previously-owned goldfish (I think about you every alternating Tuesday dear Glaedr/Shruikan/Hannah Jr/Harry Osborn II)

Here is a picture of aforementioned pansies (and didn't I get funny looks carrying these babies home.)

I also managed to score Dostoyevsky's Crime and Punishment at Borders for a mere $9.95! So long, Angus & Roberston, no longer will I be perusing your terribly catalogued shelves & puke-stained carpeting!

Terminator Salvation made me lose my faith in humanity

Okay. It wasn't that bad. If you're a die hard Terminator fan (check!) and you're willing to remain ignorant of the little things, then I guess TS wasn't such a bad movie. However, as I am generally quite vocal about films that disappoint the pants off of me, I have compiled (yet again) a fun list of plotholes to share:

- So Kyle Reese is the seventeen-year-old father of thirty-year-old John Connor. Yeah, I bet that makes for some interesting family dinner conversations in the Resistance base. (John: So Kyle.. do you think, in maybe ten years, you would let me send you back in time to your inevitable death to impregnate my mother with me? Please? I'll be your best friend?)

- How on Earth John Connor managed to infiltrate the Skynet HQ without ONE machine noticing him is beyond me. And when it came to evacuating/blowing up the base, there was only two machines there to stop them? Oh hai Skynet, if you're really smart enough to annihilate the entire human race you should really schedule machine vacation time better

- I was also mildly impressed that he managed to hack into the software with his super charged phone software. Can you say.... iphone?

- The Terminator with the bandanna! 'Nuff said.

- So... the Resistance is holed up underground in a dirty base surrounded by forest with cameras, guard towers, a river and a mine field, yet their airspace is on an open field. Might as well put a neon sign saying "attack here!"

- Did Sony hoard all their plasmas in a fallout shelter or something? Seriously, did anyone see how many LCD screens they had? Why bother fighting? Let's just twitter Skynet and ask them to end this war!

- Kyle Reese was #1 on the kill list. So the machines captured him, threw him into a cell to be eventually grabbed by a Terminator and put into a machine to be killed. When did Terminator become James Bond?

- Same goes for John Connor. CGI Arnie picked him up and threw him about five times before actually attempting to kill him. Remember the good old days when Terminators actually terminated their targets? They might as well call them Throwinators, considering they didn't kill one person. Oh, James Cameron where have you been all my life.

- John Connor sounded like Batman. And Batman sounded like an angry Christian Bale. I had my fingers crossed he would go away and come back and taaa daa ... Batman would go all American Psycho on the Terminators. Or at least have a screaming tirade "Do you just walk around blowing up humanity all 'da da da da daaaa?' Do you call yourself a professional?!"

- Probably the most crucial point - how is this future like the original future shown in the first T1 - with the lasers and the big machines crushing skulls on the ground and the utterly doomed humanity? Yes, yes, its an alternate future, but its kind of sad that it doesn't have the same terror to it that it once did. I kept thinking I would happy to live in the ruins of LA amongst patrolling terminators if it was with Kyle Reese. ;)
