A venue in Alabama is asking its (no doubt confused) local populace right now if it would like to attend this Friday’s show by Scott Stapp and his merry band of post-grungers for the low price of three-quarters of a dollar. And yes, that’s with the Ticketmaster surcharges. (Although you’ll have to plunk down an extra $2.50 if you want the convenience of printing your ticket at home.)
Mitigating Factor No. 1: I’m not really sure how much it costs to park. Mitigating Factor No. 2: You have to hear songs like their new single “Overcome”—the video for which is below—after you plunk down quarters that could also be used on a fun game of Galaga. The cost-benefit analysis one would have to engage in before making this decision is a much more complicated one than you might think—the parking, the time spent at the show and in transit to and from, the beers you’d need to consume in order to make it an experience that’s at least “interesting!”

No.
Money is still traveling in the wrong direction in this transaction. Now, if they promised not to show up then we might have a deal.
Absolutely. Then again, I’m a hater. I love hating on things. I’d bring a flask of Johnnie Walker Black and have a hoot and a holler hating on Creed.
The new Zune browser is surprisingly good, but not as good as the iPod’s. It works well, but isn’t as fast as Safari, and has a clunkier interface. If you occasionally plan on using the web browser that’s not an issue, but if you’re planning to browse the web alot from your PMP then the iPod’s larger screen and better browser may be important.
