One Rating, One Rebuttal, One note.

So according to the BBC, the Catholic Church has tightened it's process for canonization of person to Sainthood. See Article As far as I'm concerned that is perfectly fine by me there are something close to 10,000 saints in the church anyways. What's more there are another 2000 + files on people nominated for canonization. These 2000 applicants are from all over the world by idiots who think that just because someone may have read every child in the area a bedtime story or fed the hungry, or cured polio should be a Saint.

That is way to damn many people. By definition a saint is "a particularly good or holy person". The original pope Saint Paul and The mother Mary are...or should be used as an outline of what to qualify someone as a saint. One started the Catholic Church the other had Jesus- I don't remember who did what. So of all 10k people they can all be held up to Mary or Paul and someone can say "yeah they match up"??

Now granted JP-2 probably didn't help while he had the hat on, according to BBC "In his 27-year pontificate he beatified more than 1,338 people and canonised 482." but you know what? he's the friggen pope! That means he has a red phone to God in his head! And since new pope (I'm still not comfortable with him as pope so i dont want to remember his name) is a smart man he's going to fast track Johnny Paul 2 to Sainthood.

Catholic Church gets 6 beards, for raising the difficulties for Sainthood.
Wait hold your damn horses. Take note the church doesn't receive the points; the program does.

Moving on the Playstation 3 Will receive 6 beards
and a Mustache, from me. Why? Because it has
-Playstation game library.
-Wireless controllers with sixaxis motion sensors
-Wireless and wired broadband internet capability with it's own internet browser (for free)
-Blu-ray player
-Backwards compatible with PS2.
it would get a higher score but it's so goddamn expensive.

and finally a note. to Kevin and Travis (and I guess Alan if he does it.)
I am declaring the scores of Annoying People to be changed from negative 2 beards to one beard.
and HD-DVD from zero beards to one beard. It's a 1-9 grade system we can't have negatives and zero! We created the rules and we can bend them but not break them else there be no order!
Listen, all of you! You've got to take direction, you've got to have discipline, you've got to have respect for your director!

HDDVD v. Blu-Ray

In light of this article (which you don't really need to read, other than the headline) I have decided to use my small knowledge base and couple it with my extensive vocabulary and imagination to review these two items and explain to you why Blu-Ray is the superior of the two choices.

At the core of these two items we find the same product, a disc that will play movies and videos in TRUE High Definition, and not that "almost there" HDMI crap that makes us true believers want to dig our eyes out. Not to mention, HDMI Cables are freaking expensive. $60 for a four foot cable? No thank you, ZERO BEARDS for you HDMI Cable.

So what is the difference? It's quite simple. HDDVD came on a normal DVD disc with the same kind of crappy storage capacity as regular discs, the kind of discs that require more then one disc for anything over 5 hours of material. Blu-Ray on the other hand is a new kind of technology. It's a disc whose "format offers more than five times the storage capacity of traditional DVDs and can hold up to 25GB on a single-layer disc and 50GB on a dual-layer disc" according to the Blu-Ray website. This is of course one of the reasons why the PS3 (the over priced piece of shit that it is/5 Beards) went with the technology. This way the next generation of Final Fanasy games could be 5 times longer then ever before, with even more detailed running chickens.

But seriously, Blu-Ray is awesome, because to me this makes me think that data cubes and crystals which will of course be small enough to fit in my pocket and not be subject o scratching and be able to hold every bit of information on my computer are just right around the corner. And of course, once we have that then we'll have holographic projection TV and self-driving cars, which is what I really want.

So, since Blu-Ray has already won the war, and is apparently the gateway to all my dreams the future it should get a high score, it's currently prohibitively high cost though hurts it as I'm afraid that now, without competition the price will not come down anytime soon. The cheapest unit is $400.00 without tax and anyother add-ons, plus I don't want to have to rebuy all my movies since Blu-Ray discs are all at least 29.99 and I got The Truman Show (7 Beards) on DVD for $5 a few months ago.

Blu-Ray gets SEVEN BEARDS.

HDDVD gets ZERO BEARDS.
