Going from 9.9% fixed to $highest_prime_rate_in_the_last_90_days + 11.65%?
Fuck that.
And to the bitch who rudely pointed out that you guys have paid back $800 million of the TARP money, what about the other $44200 million?
Fuck you.
$45 billion from the Federal government and this is how you treat your profitable customers? No wonder you assholes needed a bailout.
Remind me why I should pay you assclowns another cent?
And to all the other BofA victims, unconscionable rate jacking, (allegedly) coming soon to a credit card near you.

You know who else had birthday cakes that said “Happy Birthday Adolph Hitler”?
You know who else was named Adolf Hitler?
You know who else had a Nazi father?
And who names their kids Adolf Hitler, JoyceLynn Aryan Nation, and Honszlynn Hinler Jeannie?

Who are these people, and why haven’t they been removed from the gene pool yet? Seriously, this man just got caught trying to sell a vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder. It doesn’t get much more corrupt than that in my opinion.

Pot, kettle, black?
Also, “a photo of naked women on all fours painted to look like cows”?
What. The. Hell.

What the hell was Robert E. Lee thinking?
After Lee surrendered to Henrico Police, investigators discovered the Sears manager had created a makeshift masturbatorium from a service platform just above the ladies’ dressing rooms.
It appeared to investigators that the prefab peeping hutch had been in use for quite some time, the victim’s lawsuit alleges, and that Lee admitted to watching the girl and her mother trying on bathing suits.
“During the search of the room, police officials recovered sexually explicit magazines and seminal fluids,” the suit says.
While I think the damages the plaintiffs are seeking are somewhat excessive, Robert E. Lee shouldn’t be allowed to work at a clothing store ever again.

Apparently, being the site for officially-released music tends to get you noticed by a few people who may not want you to succeed, with rather unfortunate (for the site’s owner) results. With all the blatant infringement that (apparently) occurred on OiNK, I have to wonder what took so long.

Some idiot and possible Microsoft shill set up a website at whyfirefoxisblocked.com (WARNING 509 Bandwidth Limit Exceeded) explaining that he had to block popular open-source web browser Mozilla Firefox because of the popular Adblock extension, and gave some horribly misleading and incorrect legal reasons that adblock is illegal. I believe that, while a webmaster is certainly welcome to block users that he/she believes are blocking ads, such a measure is counterproductive due to the backlash that might occur and the ease with which a user can work around such a measure. In addition, any site that does this sort of thing probably believes that content is what you put between all the ads.

On or slightly before April 2nd (which is after the beta for Feisty and almost 2 months after the feature freeze for Feisty), Ubuntu updated the SATA and IDE drivers in the kernel to the new experimental libata drivers. For users who had switched their fstab back to mounting by /dev from mounting UUID, this completely broke things, which was annoying, but OK. April 12th, the day of the scheduled Release Candidate, many people’s computers stopped booting because of libata breakage, and as of right now, over 2 days and 3 kernel builds later, some still are having boot issues. This late switch is unacceptable and should have been left until Gutsy Gibbon. If I were still on Edgy, I’d stay away from Feisty for as long as possible, as I predict future breakage of this magnitude.

After all the crap they’ve been through with power, now there’s this? Well, hopefully it’ll only be a few hours. However, with their datacenter’s history of power issues, this could easily be days.
