If you know me you understand my love for all music, no matter what it is.  If it is good, I will buy it and listen to it.  Well, today the wife and my 7 year old told me about this Christmas song that was sung by Straight No Chaser “The 12 Days of Christmas”.  Well needless to say, I was hooked right away.  I found numerous songs on line by this group and everyone was amazing to me.  Yes, I was a choir boy…so to speak.  I sang but was not actually a “Choir Boy” if you know what I mean.  To me, music is life.  I hear music everywhere and in everything.  Without my CD’s, MP3 players and MP3 files…I would be a lost soul.  Being int he Christmas mood, I decided to share some of there videos from youtube.com.

This first video is the famous “12 Days of Christmas”

This video is from Boyz II Men, “It’s So Hard to Say Goodbye”.

This video is from Montell Jordan’s “This Is How We Do It”.

This video is of Bryan McKnight’s “Superhero”.

To learn more about this group, go to their website Straight No Chaser.

Nintendo sued over ‘dangerous’ Wii controllers

So the story goes that this mother, Molly Elvig of Littleton, CO, has filed a class action lawsuit against Nintendo for “ineffective wrist straps on the controllers”.  She is suing for $5,000,000.00 (side note: new 52″ Samsung TV would cost about $2,000.00)!  The lawsuit has been brought upon after her son broke their 52″ Samsung television while playing Wii Bowling.  I cannot go any further…this has to be stopped people.  After many nights of playing Wii with the family, drunk friends playing Wii into the late evening and having the kids bring friends over…we have never had a single problem other than the occasional controller slammed into head moments.  But each one was due to us, the players.  So I decided to write a letter to this mother…

Dear Molly Elvig,

I do not work for Nintendo and want you to know this is a letter of concern after reading your lawsuit you filed against Nintendo.  I understand that your son claims (as well as you do) that the strap on his controller broke sending his controller through your 52″ Samsung television while playing Wii Bowling.  *cough cough* BULLS**T *cough cough*

Between my family, friends and co-workers, we have played many many hours on the Wii and we have never seen a controller strap break or come loose.  What bothers me is that you claim it was due to him playing bowling.  How the hell does your son play bowling???  There are so many other games that you could have blamed this on and it might sound more true but no, you blame the bowling game?!?  If I were you, I would have a long talk with your son and have him explain the truth to you about what happened to the TV.

One last thing, it is people like yourself that have made Americans look so damn stupid in the eye of other countries.  You are basically a money grubing dumb a$$.  Do us all a huge favor and package up your Nintendo Wii and all of your games and sell it on eBay so someone who deserves the game system can buy it.

Yours truly,
Myke Reinhold
