Mr. Forward म्हणाले...: "Don't want to discuss it
I think its time for a change
You may get disgusted
And think I'm strange
In that case I'll go underground
Get some heavy rest
Never have to worry
About what is worst and what is best

Oh oh domino
Roll me over romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh domino
Roll me over romeo
There you go
Say it again
I said oh oh domino
I said oh oh domino

There's no need for argument
There's no argument at all
And if you never hear from him
That just means he didn't call
Or vice versa
That depends on where ever you're at
And if you never hear from me
That just means I would rather not

I said oh oh domino
Roll me over romeo
There you go
Lord have mercy
I said oh oh domino
Roll me over romeo
There you go
Say it again
Oh oh domino
I said oh oh domino."

jeff म्हणाले...: o me, the most interesting part is just what did they think would happen?

"Ms. Hammonds apologized to the company in an e-mail message Tuesday morning. “It was fake and I wish that everyone knew that!!!!” she wrote. “I AM SOO SORRY!”
Bullshit. But the big question is with all this publicity and the lawsuit and everything, how in the world in Jeremy/michael/luckyoldson ever going to get another job?; १६/४/०९, ६:०६ AM
KCFleming म्हणाले...: This isn't a 'risk of social media' , really.

It's merely evidence that a significant number of people in the US no longer have any basic morals.

Society, from trade to services to being neighbors to government, is based in large part on trust.

Lacking any moral basis, there can be no trust that you will 'do the right thing'.

I blame John Dewey, for starters.; १६/४/०९, ६:१५ AM
Bissage म्हणाले...: It matters not that this video has been exposed as a prank as it remains my most firmly held belief that Bubble Yum contains spider eggs.; १६/४/०९, ६:१६ AM
Tibore म्हणाले...: ""Ms. Hammonds apologized to the company in an e-mail message Tuesday morning. “It was fake and I wish that everyone knew that!!!!” she wrote. “I AM SOO SORRY!”"Let's see... they did something disgusting on video, put it out there for millions to see... and they didn't figure there'd be some negative fallout? WTF?? Does no one get the concept of "cause" and "effect" anymore?? I'm tellin' ya, the educational system has failed this country. Idiots like these two who could not draw simple logical conclusions about their acts are proof of it.; १६/४/०९, ७:२७ AM

See 'John Dewey' above.; १६/४/०९, ७:२८ AM

Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...: I am with Pogo, but I will go further. Instead of technology making people more intelligent, it has made them or makes them act more and more stupid. The whole interactive and networking world is being populated by the offspring of Mortimer Snerd.; १६/४/०९, ७:५८ AM
Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...: What was so offensive about the Motrin ad?; १६/४/०९, ७:५९ AM
Christy म्हणाले...: Think these two voted in the last election?; १६/४/०९, ७:५९ AM
Peter V. Bella म्हणाले...: I.B.O.; १६/४/०९, ८:४५ AM
Laura(southernxyl) म्हणाले...: "What was so offensive about the Motrin ad?"

Er, that it was stupid? And that it made having a baby to care for look like a painful experience?; १६/४/०९, ११:४४ AM
William म्हणाले...: Don't trust anyone over the age of thirty--especially if they are in the food prep business.; १६/४/०९, १२:०७ PM
Big Mike म्हणाले...: Every once in a while I get to be sorry about the Constitutional prohibition of "cruel and unusual punishments." I can think of some punishments that these two wouldn't enjoy very much but which would be very appropriate.

(Though Titus might ...) :-)

Video evidence of 0.00000065% of the US population doing something is "evidence that a significant number of people in the US no longer have any basic morals"?

It would seem more significant that these two's behavior was unusual enough to actually garner national attention.; १६/४/०९, २:३७ PM
KCFleming म्हणाले...: "It would seem more significant that these two's behavior was unusual enough to actually garner national attention."

I don't find the behavior unusual in the least. The only thing odd about it was getting caught.

In my little town "hot" robberies were unheard of. Now they are a frequent event.

Cops are routinely placed at high school dances because of regular fights. Never happened 15 years ago.

There's more, but you get the point.; १६/४/०९, २:४६ PM
Revenant म्हणाले...: Cops are routinely placed at high school dances because of regular fights. Never happened 15 years ago.I'll certainly believe that nobody thought of calling the cops to break up high school fights 15 years ago, but if you're saying the fights didn't HAPPEN 15 years ago then you went to a much nicer high school than anyone I know. :)

In any event, juvenile crime rates have been trending downwards for over thirty years now.; १६/४/०९, ५:३७ PM
fav.or.it म्हणाले...: This is an example how idiots can ruin our business with stupid acts like this. Grow up !!!

Peter Hoh म्हणाले...: What's the solution? How about live-feed from every Domino's prep kitchen? With a few technological improvements, you can watch your food being made.; १६/४/०९, ११:०६ PM
