It's going to be a busy day, and it's been a few weeks since we've looked at a selection of great moments in editing, so why not take the low road and cringe along with those who may have lost their jobs over these stinkers ...
I know it's tough to get a good warranty on some car repairs any more, but this one is a little out of the ordinary ...
Some appliances nowadays come with a ridiculously short cord, supposedly for your safety ... the manufacturer claims it will keep you from accidentally pulling the appliance off the counter. But most of us don't have electrical outlets in just the right place, so we need extension cords, right? But safe ones we won't get tangled up in ...

Have a good day and a great holiday weekend. More thoughts tomorrow.
