So unless you live under a rock with no wifi, you’ve heard about the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge. At the time I’m writing this blog, it’s raised over 100 million dollars in donations for the ALS Association. It’s also brought a TON of haters out of the woodwork.
Look, I get it…haters gonna hate. But all the haters I see are hating for stupid reasons. So here are the High 5 Lame Reasons to Hate on the Ice Bucket Challenge.
5) The Money is Not Going To Research
This is the one that pisses me off the most. An article went viral not long ago claiming that “ALS foundation admits that 73% of donations are not used for research.” They show a pie chart with the breakdown, in percentages, of where donations to the ALSA were spent. The slice of the pie for “research” is only 27%.
Too bad that article is deceptive horse s***. The ALSA didn’t “admit” anything (in fact, they debunked the whole article). Those are the freely published expenses for last year…you know last year? When this Ice Bucket thing hadn’t happened yet and they only had a little over 20 million in donations for the year. In the last month, they’re gotten over 100 million in donations. Do you really think all those pie slices are going to scale up equally? Plus, there’s a little check box on the donation form that says, “I want 100% if my donation to go towards research.”

So apparently, someone hacked Jennifer Lawrence’s phone. They found a bunch of nude photos on there. A bunch of them leaked on Sunday, but I was able to find a topless photo that I haven’t seen posted anywhere else… Read the rest of this entry »

As promised in TANcast 297, I’m blogging everyday again in the month of September. This time, there’s a twist! Every blog will also feature a new product at the TANcast Zazzle store. Today’s blog even features a video…
The rest of the blogs won’t be this kind of in your face style hard sell of the product. Could be a completely unrealated blog topic with a TANstore “sponsored product.” But each day, you’ll get something to read and something to buy. It’s the perfect mix of crap you don’t care about and crap you don’t want or need.

Our recent inarticulate and ill-informed musings about the state of Android phones were at least timely. Ars Technica just posted a piece analyzing how quickly different manufacturers and US phone carriers got the latest version of the operating system (KitKat) out to various devices.
If you don’t want to drink the Cupertino Kool-Aid like your friendly neighborhood TANcasters (or the RedmondFlavor Aid), you might want to have a peek at what they found.
