One of my favorite Dungeons & Dragons fansites is gone, and not for a good reason:

I got a lot out of this site, and now it's gone because of short-sighted corporate stupidity. Thanks a lot, Wizards of the Coast.

Agreed. Though I think the doll itself it cute, the whole idea of the thing creeps the daylights out of me.

Actually I think the doll is creepy too. BUT, what really gets me is that, if you read the comments on the article, people 40+ are saying they grew up with elf dolls that were moved around each day etc - the idea behind the wildly-popular book and dolls isn't new. It irritates me that these two ladies are raking in the cash recycling an old tradition they had no hand in creating. I mean, there's no law that says they can't do it, it just annoys me that other people have to have actual creativity to make money.

(I know, I'm a bitter old lady. )

I have absolutely no sympathy for any of the parties on either side of this mess. Not the hackers, not the company, not the clients. What a sad, sad state the human race has sunk to.

Angry NOT ACCEPTABLE!!!

A Foster's-themed iphone case I found on eBay:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Fosters-Home.../171925041837?

Please take a good look at this item. Note which major character is missing, and which miserable one-shot character the manufacturer added in her place.



Man, this really burns me up.

Woman spends all her money on Powerball, creates GoFundMe page to recover losses:

What nerve. I have absolutely no sympathy for her. Glad it was shut down.
