Bear in mind that Chinese food is actually an American representation of what Chinese food should be, i.e. reduce the spice, reduce the heat and reduce the authenticity of the ingredients. Then add plenty of sugar. Believe it or not there's a lot of people out there running around thinking they're eating real Chinese food. Now apply the same concept to every other ethnic or foreign food and serve. The assumption follows that to make these foods palatable to the American public they have to be altered sufficiently first. It therefore becomes hardly credible to call ethnic food, 'ethnic' any longer. I guess sugar is a cheap additive. The restauranteurs must be lapping it up. Throw out any old trash and the dumb schmucks will swallow it. Obviously I am in that small minority of people that have been exposed to a different culinary experience. I am therefore dissatisfied with the standard of ethnic food in the Valley of The Sun. I believe that the public are being misled and their palates are being trained to think of ethnic foods in a misrepresented way, i.e. they won't recognise the real McCoy should they ever come across it.
I hope I have made you think and would appreciate your thoughts and experiences.

Bear in mind that the Shizz is actually an American representation of what the internet should be, i.e. reduce the drama, reduce the heat and reduce the idiocy of the posters. Then add plenty of fun. Believe it or not there's a lot of people out there running around thinking they're on the real internet. Now apply the same concept to every other music or general forum and read. The assumption follows that to make these forums palatable to the american public they have to be altered sufficiently first. It therefore becomes hardly credible to call music forums, 'music' any longer. I guess fun is a cheap additive. The administrators must be lapping it up. Throw out any old trash and the dumb schmucks will read it. Obviously I am in that small minority of people that been exposed to a different literary experience. I am therefore dissatisfied with the standard general forums in the Valley of The Sun. I believe that the public are being misled and their palates are being trained to think of forums in a misrepresented way, i.e. they won't recognise the real McCoy should they ever come across it.

I like my internet old school, pure and unadulterated by such things as electricity and binary code.

have you seen what the french have done to the hamburger?

No, but I can guess. Is it a choice piece of fois gras and several wedges of brie between two croissants?

Not to mention we made all those killer flyers with scissors and glue and Flair pens.
