What is the Watercooler?
It's a haven in the middle of a harsh, 9-to-5 world. A place where you can gather with your fellow human beings and bond over a paper cup full of cool refreshment.
All sorts of randomness is welcome here. Post pictures, videos, special Chat information, or just discuss news and current events.

It's the last Saturday in March, which means it's time again for the annual Earth Hour. During the hour from 8:30-9:30 PM (in whatever your time zone is), remember to turn off all non-essential lights.
It would also be appreciated if you could observe a minute of silence when the hour begins, in recognition for our friends in Japan, who are still participating despite their many troubles lately.
Thank you.
T-shirts? I've got t-shirts. I'm thinking the red one or a Threadless will do nicely.
Saw this commercial on CNN a few days ago in the little Japanese place below my work place. Caught my ear because they were speaking Mandarin (which I generally don't understand, but it was subtitled). Then I just watched it and it blew my mind that such a commercial existed.
Going by this YouTube link, this commercial's banned on quite a few networks. 'Tis about the US national debt:
Now, being that I'm on the outside looking in, I first went "uwah, ballsy..." and then laughed a little because it wasn't me. But then I stopped from laughing too much because my country would be in the crapper too if it all comes to this.
Obviously this is me daring to open up a can. I'm willing to accept that because I'm curious if any of you guys had seen this yet.
So yes. My Amerc' friends. Thoughts?
