High risk, high pay off. if it works.

stupidity personified

these two things are ridiculous, give any 5 year old a box of crayons and he/she would have come up with a way better mascot and it wouldn't have cost the taxpayer a riduclous sum of money. the designers must be laughing all the way to they bank.

buzz words

It's the word "radiation" that people are so affraid of. its been hyped to the point that all radiation at all levels is deemed bad, which is not a good place to start un-biased research. i've been hearing for a while that small doses of radiation may be beneficial, causing cells to repair themselves where they might not ordinarily bother. but, its all about dose, just a shame the stigma surrounding radiation hasn't allowed the research to be conducted.

too much tv?

Is it just me or does GM's hero look a lot like the "IT" from a certain Southpark episode?

Money?

Is this not just because people with macs generally have more disposable income?

Outrageous

This actually makes me angry, its such a bad decision! why cant we have someone sensible making these decisions?
