I’ve heard this one.

He had a blue collar job at the factory. He came up with the recipe in his own kitchen and called a meeting with the executives.

He was so slick they thought it was a routine, internal project and signed off on it.

I don’t see how they could make a feature-length film out of it without injecting :siren: drama :siren:, but it’s not like I’ve read the man’s biography so what do I know?

Oops; I spoiled the plot.

It might be at least partly political. The inventor was a janitor born in Mexico who didn't speak much English, so he's a rags-to-riches story that goes directly against anti-immigrant sentiment.

poo poo, give it the Pursuit of Happyness feel and I'd watch the gently caress out of that flick. Plus the marketing tie-ins at the theater practically sell themselves. Betcha there's Flaming Hot Cheetos nachos at the concession stands during the screenings.

American Idol' contestant didn't love Katy Perry kissing him

quote:


"I wanted to save (my first kiss) for my first relationship," he said. "I wanted it to be special."

"It was lip contact versus a romantic situation with someone you care about," he said. "That's what a real first kiss is."

"Have you kissed a girl and liked it?" Bryan said, playing off the lyrics of Perry's hit song "I Kissed A Girl."
The cashier from Enid, Oklahoma, revealed that he had never been in a relationship and "I can't kiss a girl without being in a relationship."
Perry beckoned Glaze over for what he thought would be a kiss on the cheek, but the pop star turned her head at the last minute and laid one on his lips instead.
That's a little more cut and dried than I expected :smith:

Pop Star Convicted For Smuggling Migrants

quote:

An Indian pop star, Daler Mehndi, has been sentenced to two years in prison for smuggling migrants abroad.

Mehndi and six others were accused in 2003 of cheating people of large sums of money by falsely promising to take them to Western countries.

The singer was convicted on Friday in the northern state of Punjab. But he was released on bail soon after.

Mehndi is one of the most popular Punjabi singers of the 1990s and early 2000s, and also has a following abroad.

...

In 1998 and 1999, he had allegedly taken at least 10 migrants, disguised as dancers in his ensemble, to the United States and returned without them.

After police in Punjab registered a case against him, about 35 people reportedly accused him of fraud. They said he had taken money from them for taking them abroad but had failed to do so.

Mehndi said he will appeal the conviction in a higher court.

This is right after the protagonist talks about how he spent a few weeks with a sex bot to let him experience virtual brothels more realistically, but he gave up because he felt dirty and just went back to regular masturbation.

I'm not joking.

Obviously there's nothing that can be done about any of the ride restraints (those are safety features, not comfort features, and can't just be adjusted), but I think you need to visit a doctor before you visit a theme park if you require two spaces on a bench seat like Kong has.

It wasn't a safety thing, allegedly they just wanted to get as many people on that ride as possible. "Push for capacity."

They have a set number of people who are supposed to be in each row. It’s not a greed thing, but a way of making sure the queue doesn’t start backing up. That ride regularly gets lines over an hour long even outside peak times, so slowing loading or not loading a vehicle to capacity can cause a huge problem.
