BidRodeo: The New Beezid Scam

As many of you have read in a previous post about Beezid being a scam, here’s a whole new scam… wait.  It’s the exact same scam.

Bidrodeo.com is the same, horrible thing.  You go in and purchase “bids” and then use those bids to try and win incredibly cheap items.  One person can possibly win a great item, dozens of other people get screwed out of their money.  On the front page it showed a person had won a 16g iPad for only $22.97.  But he used 595 bids to win that item.  That means he actually spent AT LEAST $350 to win that item.  And that doesn’t include the other dozens of people who bid on this item USING BIDS THAT COST MONEY and didn’t win.  I also think it’s funny that they try to say that his 595 bids only cost him $169 when in reality if you buy the “deluxe” package it costs $340 for a package of 500 bids, $500 for 800 bids.  That doesn’t quite pan out to $169.  Such a rip-off.

I can’t believe that Beezid is still around and now this new company is coming in to do the same thing.  Who knows, maybe it’s the same company under a different name.  It wouldn’t surprise me.

Point is… BEWARE!

Band o’ the Week: Eyes Set to Kill

This week I’m gonna continue with some of the music I enjoy… the melodic-metalcore-style music.  The difference this week is that there’s some chicks involved.  I now introduce Eyes Set to Kill.

Cataclysm in my PANTS

Freaking… Epiiiiiic!

Band o’ the Week: A Day to Remember

Yeah, this is late.  Way, way late.  I forgot last week and then had to put it off.  Well, what a perfect band to check out when my horrible memory comes into play.  I now bring you A Day to Remember.

Band o’ the Week: Rilo Kiley

And now for something completely different… Rilo Kiley

Band o’ the Week: Army of Anyone

What do you get when you mix the lead singer of Filter, the brothers who helped form Stone Temple Pilots and the drummer from The David Lee Roth Band?  You get an Army of Anyone.

Band o’ the Week: Knapsack

Well, here’s another that is probably obscure to the majority of you.  I found these guys a little more tolerable than Mae.  Though I’m not sure about the name… here’s Knapsack!

Band o’ the Week: Mae

Now THIS is probably a band that none of you have heard of.  Part of me feels that you are very lucky…

Band o’ the Week: Underoath

So I picked another “screamer” band this week, and I promise they won’t always be this way.  Next week I’ll probably end up listening to something horribly horrible.  But for now, we’re gonna talk about the band Underoath.

MachineGunSmith

Not sure if anyone’s ever watched MachineGunSmith in action, but here’s your chance.  This guy is pretty amazing at playing the drums.  Makes me realize how bad I drumming I actually was.

He’s in a band (or was?) and you can see all of his videos here… but this one is one of my favorite.

And FYI, he is using an electric system for those that want to say he’s not drumming because the cymbals and toms are the same size.
