DETROIT HIGH SCHOOLS TRAIN FOR WALMART – ALEX DUNBAR | VBS.TV Blog

Oh God. Say your prayers for the America of yore; we’re officially a full-fledged corporatocracy. Motherfucking Walmart, the prototypical, chthonic tyrant of the American economic landscape is teaming up with Detroit high schools to train students with job skills they’ll really get to use, like greeting customers, stocking shelves, and sobbing deeply in the break room. Students enrolled in the program get 11 weeks of “job-readiness training” during the day and an after school gig at Walmart.

Aspartame on VBS.TV

I’ve read crazy accounts of workers in the aspartame “factories” taking off their respirators and keeling over instantly.

If you’ve had soda, candy, coffee sweetener, or pretty much anything sweet in the last two decades, chances are you’ve consumed aspartame. It’s a low-calorie artificial sweetener at the center of one huge conspiracy theory, and, if the theory is to be believed, aspartame fucks you up all sorts of ways.

3-D HDTV

3-D HDTV

Check it out: Panasonic.jp has 3-D HDTV now.

Obviously, it’s not easy to convey the concept of 3-D TV visually without a 3-D TV. But, I really like what they did with the dolphin. The intellectual horsepower at Panasonic has obviously been shifted from marketing to engineering.
