Miller Vortex

[Bopper]

***********1. Enforce rules only against their foes (i.e., anyone who does not suck up to them) while exempting their friends from similar or worse behavior.

2. Silently boot someone and then proceed to trash talk the person as if the person was still there with an opportunity to respond.

3. Boot someone and then start a thread for the sole purpose of boasting about having removed the person, so as to bask in the praise of sychophantic members applauding the moderator's bold action.

4. If a person is being stalked or trolled, scold, warn and threaten both the victim and the perpetrator to stop it. If the victim protests, boot the victim for having defied the moderator's authority. Add injury to insult by allowing the troll or stalker to stay because the stalker or troll didn't talk back to the moderator.

5. If the moderator loses an argument to another member, selectively delete the member's comments so that the thread no longer makes any sense.

6. Selectively enforce the tribe's rules only against newcomers, newbies or people who are not friend with the moderator.

7. Speak about their actions as moderator in the passive voice, use the royal we, and otherwise take on a haughty, authoritarian tone. I mean, dude, you're just a moderator. ***************

With respect to the Miller bottle, its all about branding. Will this new vortex bottle increase sales? You betcha, albeit probably only initially out of consumer curiosity. I haven't seen the bottle so I have no idea how it will actually effect the pour but I'm guessing that IP is right when he says that it will create better head by agitating the beer.

It's crazy that they think that'll convince people to buy their beer. It's even crazier that it'll work on a few people.

remember that this is aimed at the people who are already buying their beer. it's just smoke, mirrors and musical chairs for the big 3 clones.

OK so my wife loves Miller Lite and we usually pick up 5-6 cases at a time so she is always stocked. Last week I was bringing some empties upstairs (my method for doing this is sticking my fingers into the necks so I can carry 8 at a time) when I felt some little bumps in the neck of the bottle. These bottles were pre-vortex so I compared them with a newer betterer Vortexier bottle and they were exactly the same. This leads me to one of three conclusions:

1)Miller has ALWAYS had the vortex technology but never marketed as such.

2)They used to have "normal" bottles but started making the vortex bottles before they actually labeled them as "THE VORTEX".

or

3) I have too much time on my hands and I should stop worrying about these stupid little bumps on the inside of my wife's beer.

I'll go with #3.

Think about the possibilities in the future. If you shook this thing up in low Earth orbit, then popped the top off, it would take off in the opposite direction, spinning as it went. You'd have self-spin-stabilizing beer bottles!

Which would really defeat the purpose of playing "Spin the Bottle" in space.
