Random stuff worth reading on the internet thread

Fairly short article about some guy being asked by Olive Garden's parent company to obtain written permission before blogging about his experiences eating there. Be sure to read his actual response at the end.

I disagree that that article is worth reading.

Maybe you could post some guidelines that I could strive to meet in the future. Help me out here.

Read that yesterday. Was thinking of posting it here. I'm going to have to get my kids to read it and see if they'll limit how much my grandchildren use electronic devices, which is a lot right now.

Not sure if this is totally worth reading, but I enjoyed it. The A.V. Club argues that 1997 contained the worst 2 weeks ever for music. Smash Mouth, Sugar Ray and Limp Bizkit all dropped albums during that horrible span.

Contemporary critics used to say the same thing about Sugar Ray—that the funk-punk-alt-metal-lite-FM-pop mishmash the band produced was just too breezy and silly to hate, and besides, their self-deprecation negates all criticism anyway. But fuck that and fuck them: I will spread my wings right here and say that “Fly” is one of the worst songs to ever suffocate the radio, a pandering, Sublime-aping, reggaeton ragbag that spent the summer of ’97 sprawling across the national consciousness like a frat bro dripping his ultimate-frisbee ball sweat into your futon.

I mostly agree, but I still love some Sugar Ray.

I like "Fly" and "All Star" even though they seem to think I shouldn't. Maybe I just didn't get the full brunt of the radio overplay since I was still on the Lord's errand when those were released.
