Oh, we just thought you might not want us...

It’s like the folks at Notre Dame MBA did all the hard work in getting my email address – either interested me enough to sign up for their email or got it from a database.  (Both of which Im sure cost them in some way).  Then they decide to send me an email saying that oh well we’ve been sending you mail and newsletters about our program  but here’s an email which we have specially sent you so that you can undo all we’ve done so far in a single click. Thanks!

I clicked the link and was unsubscribed instantaneously.

Why would any seller of products/services want to do this ? It beats me.   The irony of it is that this comes from an MBA program.

Insane Dog!

They are one of the most annoying and loathsome creatures and I despise them deeply.  Why ?  (Throughout this post, by dogs I mean domesticated dogs)

- Dogs are loud and noisy – The goddamn barking ! Loud ! eardrum splitting, ball-bustingly loud. And persistent. Why do they do that ? I have no freaking idea – its traumatising.

- Dogs kill: Stray dogs have killed and eaten little children  Yeah, you rabid dog lovers – read this BBC Report.

- Finally, whats the point ! – Why keep dogs at home ? As pets ? You are making life hell for yourself, for others and for the damn dog itself:

Read this from Peter Bright – the founder of Quiet Tasmania – an anti  barking, anti noise website.

“The selfish and reckless determination of many owners to keep domestic dogs under circumstances which are entirely unnatural to a creature congenitally programmed to free-range has been allowed by default to become an uncontrolled plague causing almost universal distress to man and dog to such a disruptive extent that while consequent human suffering is increasing exponentially millions of these cruelly victimised creatures are now being euthanised annually …”

Some of my um.. radical solutions..

1) Cook’em’up : Eat dogs. Yeah, let’s all get some help from our Chinese, Korean and Vietnamese brethren on some tasty dog recipes. The idea appalls you ? Yeah cute rabbit can be part of haute causine, but not ugly dogs. Go figure.

2) Convert dogs to working animals: Most dogs seem goddamn lazy to me. Make them work for a change. We already have a successful example. For Chihuahuas, Pomeranians and other small dogs incapable of physical labor see point 1 above.
