Download Firefox 3 on download Day = Break a Guiness World Record

The New York Times ad, Firefox Flicks, the Firefox crop circle, Operation Firefox, you name it! The Firefox community is always up to some cool, collaborative way to declare their passion for Firefox. What better way to do this than band together to set a Guinness World Record for the most software downloaded in 24 hours?!

It’s a whole lot easier and safer than donning a beard of bees or underwater jump roping. All you have to do is download Firefox 3 when it goes live on Download Day  some time in June. In the meantime check out Download Day Headquarters and pledge to download Firefox 3. We’ll let you know when Firefox 3 goes out the door, kicking off our 24-hour attempt.

Here are some other ways you can help in the run up to Download Day:

* Get the word out; tell your friends, your neighbors, your grandma, anyone and everyone to participate in Download Day.
* Host a party to download Firefox; you provide the people and we’ll provide the party favors.
* Put a Download Day badge on your blog, profile or website.

With your help the Firefox community can go down in history!  If you have any questions or ideas please drop us a line at worldrecord @ mozilla.com.

Dear fat american movie-goer

I see what you did there tonight. fat lady. i ate my dinner, i had my desert, and i walked through the movie line, and didn’t stop for more snacks. but you, oh YOU did. and by god you DID. i walked by you and stared as i saw you with your hand in the gigantic-tub-o-popcorn. the tub was only half full, maybe you had eaten some already, spread it out with the family? no, you were alone. you and you’re hand, oh my that HAND! the other half of the pop corn, in another giganto-tub. and what were you doing? draining, not drizzling-casually, i mean you were FUCKING DRAINING the portable cart-o-butter. i took a good minute to pass by you. my jaw dropped, but you didn’t notice. you had your hand in that bucket, tossing the kernels, tossing like there’s no tomorrow. but the faucet of butter was on full blast and you were just making sure that EVERY KERNEL HAD AT LEAST 4 GALLONS OF BUTTER.

we couldn’t believe ourselves at the gluttony you were bathing in. i could see the butter/grease/lard substance covering your entire hand up to your wrist. we moved on, an obvious example of pure American fat-bastard-syndrome had just been witnessed.

I walked to the bathroom, to relieve myself of a rather large shit. I took my sweet time. But dammit, when I came out, you were STILL FUCKING THERE. tossing you corn covered butter away. this was no longer popcorn with butter, this was butter with popcorn in it. damn that popcorn, always fucking up the butter and making a mess. woman, please, for the love of all that’s holy, seek help. you’re a disgusting fat piece of shit and you need to be restrained from butter. they need to put butter in the witness protection agency, because you will destroy every last ounce of it.

I’m sure that you sweat butter. you disgust me, you and every other fat-bastard-butter-eating-glutton out there.

oh, and shame on you movie theater, for capitalizing on this demented woman’s problem.
