Waka Flaka is a walking steriotype.

I won't go any further, I <3 the Off Topic too much.

Has no skills, though.. that's for sure.

Vid wouldn't embed.

He's not a stereotype. Many people out there act exactly the way he and his set are.

BTW Marino, Mr. Flame wasn't arrested. He was the target of a robbery. 6 others were arrested.

Re: Off Topic 2011

So I pre-ordered Killzone 3 from Amazon, and the price changed last night. Normally I'd get refunded the difference, since Amazon has great customer service right?

Wrong. The Amazon CS Rep made a million excuses such as "It has to be over $20 difference" or "I can't when it's already shipped" all to not give me $6. I quickly called out her BS on each one, and then she waited about 5 min and just said "Nothing can be done. Please contact us if you need additional help"

I'm used to great service on Amazon, but not this one. Anytime I've needed a refund or something, they were quick to give me one. Heck they even gave me $10 for the $40 PS3 fiasco. Hopefully this other person is a lot more knowledgable.

Re: Off Topic 2011

I do have some neighbors and co-workers though who won't date any woman that is bigger then a size 4. No lie.......one of my co-workers wife got up to a size 6 and he made her go on a diet and join a gym, called her fat and all that.

I was looking at him like wowwwwwwwww.

I think once the game ships, the deal is off. If the price goes down after release, that's not covered in their Pre-Order Price Guarantee.

Here is how it worked for me when LBP2 came out:

Re: Off Topic 2011

I found this on the internet newspaper....thought it was interesting:

If you're a 6-foot tall male
Men who are at least 6' tall make an average salary of $5,525 more than their shorter, 5'5 counterparts, says Harvard University. Another study polled half of all the Fortune 500 companies about the height of their CEOs. On average, male CEOs were three inches taller than the average man at just under 6'.
If you're a skinny woman New York University sociologist Dalton Conley conducted a study and discovered that a woman's weight negatively impacts her household income and "job prestige." In fact, a 1% increase in body mass results in a 0.6 percentage point decrease in family income.
Another study by Jay Zagorsky titled "Health and Wealth" found that Caucasian women get the most financial slack for higher weight, seeing their wealth drop 12%. In comparison, African-American women who are overweight only see a 7% drop. Men weren't affected.
If you're a woman who's three inches taller than her colleagues
For every three inches taller than average they are, women earn 5 to 8 percent more money than women of average height.
If you're symmetrical
Have one eye that's smaller than the other? It could be costing you some of your paycheck. Symmetry is perhaps the greatest sign of perceived beauty, and people who are attractive make a considerable amount more than everyone else.
If you smile a lot
Rick Wilson of Rice University studied "Fiscal Attraction." He found a correlation between good looks and success. In particular, the better a person looks, the more other people trust them, and trust is a quality most leaders possess. One of his findings also showed that subjects ranked people who were smiling as more trustworthy than people with straight faces.
If you're attractive
Yale's Daniel Hamermesh conducted a study, “Beauty in the Labor Market.” He found that people with above average looks typically received premiums in pay of 5% or more, and that less attractive people "suffered a salary penalty of up to 9%." Hamermesh also writes that attractive men earn 9% more than unattractive men, and attractive women earn 4% more than unattractive women.
