Since I went with the standard shipping the timeframe Amazon gave me was September 7-12th. I'm hoping it's on the earlier side of that since I'm going to London on the 9th.
The place I bought it from has a pretty good seller rating so I should be alright there, however.

Hey, I think those are the same headphones I have!

Coool.
I was gonna get the white ones but the black ones were $11.79 with free shipping for a "used - like new" condition pair and getting the white ones would require $5 more of working for promo points, so I was like, "SCREW IT, BLACK IT IS".
I mean, keep in mind, I do live in the deep south. Homophobia is pretty much the standard here. I don't know if you've heard of "Chick Fil-A Day," but the CEO of a fast food company said he thinks homosexuality is bad. As a result, there was a line to that restaurant that that was almost an eight of a mile long.
Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
Apparently, Kevin is a stereotypically nerdy name. I kinda wonder why that is.

Hell, I live in a midwestern city that's often called a "gay mecca", and that day the line to Chick-Fil-A managed to choke up Broad Street (i.e., the main road through town) for hours.

I understand that, but at the same time, I don't want to end up indirectly paying to support a group that tries to "cure" homosexuality.

A week ago at this time I was wandering around Kings Island waiting for 10:00 to come around so the big closing-time fireworks show could begin.
Now I'm sitting around trying (with a varying degree of success) to keep myself from falling asleep.
It's like there's a limited amount of fun I can have in a given amount of time, and if I use it up all at once (by going to an amusement park or something) I end up bored until I get my next fun ration...
Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
A short time before that whole Chik-Fil-A uproar happened, another one took place over Facebook because of an Oreo ad that threw its support behind gay rights. So in the aftermath, you had the two sides of people getting into an uproar and calling each other names and having a political protest and counter-protests over basically what is nothing more than what a cookie manufacturer and chicken sandwich manufacturer think about a political/social issue that they really don't have any bearing on whatsoever.
As for those groups CfA supports that counsel people about homosexuality, if it's one of those agencies that lets parents ship their unwilling kids (or anyone else unwillingly forced into) like that brutal discipline school in Jamaica, I'll join you in the outrage. But if it's completely voluntary for people to seek counseling from, I don't see the problem.

I went out and bought 3 packs of Oreos because of that.
The right thing has never before been so fucking delicious.

Coolest ad I've seen in a while.
And apparently one of my friends is a homophobe.
Sigh.
^^It sounded like it was intended as an insult.
Sorry...
^In that case, your disapproval was warranted. I just wanted to provide perspective.
I didn't think you were trying to insult me.
Also, waiting in a line that long for fast food seems insane to me.
Well, I see it this way.
They're not allowed to discriminate against gay people, or anyone for that matter.
They don't have a great deal more history of discrimination than any other fast food chain.
They treat their employees extremely well.
And their CEO is a homophobic douchebag.
I'd say 3/4 is pretty good for a chain that has it's roots in conservative Christianity.
