I’ll Weigh In on This
And by "this", I mean this. It seems to me that if your neighbors are accusing you of being "white trash", then spraying painting the side of your house with Hitler references tends to re-enforce their point, not yours. Just sayin'.
Why I Hate These Magazines
….because they're recycled crap. I mean, how much times care you write about great abs and great sex and not repeat yourself? And women's magazines (Cosmo, etc.) are worse
The Headline Says It All
So we had a massive economic breakdown last year, and we're still suffering for it. And it was primarily due to banks trading toxic assets, which was something they could do because there was no financial regulation to stop them. The big boys of Wall Street played with matches; the economy burned. So naturally, we don't want this to happen … Read More
Space Chair
The new Toshiba ad is the highest HD advertisement ever filmed, and it is pretty fun. And no, it's not fake.
This Is Getting Out Of Hand….
I'll ask again: It's just a tray, right? I mean, it's not that big, and it's what — white, with a little blue and red paint on the edge. That's all it is, right? I mean – even the Shamwow had a little bit of innovation…. Let's not get carried away…..
From Our Mail Bag
Commentor Ben Burnett passed along something amusing that it too good not to share: A woman in a hot air balloon realized she was lost. She lowered her altitude and spotted a man in a boat below. She shouted to him, "Excuse me, can you help me? I promised a friend I would meet him an hour ago, but I … Read More
Best Protest Signs Of 2009
The Huffington Post selected their favorites, and I selected mine from theirs. Some of these are unwittingly funny (the signholder was displaying their ignorance); others were, for lack of a better phrase, "sign-crashing"; others were just plain clever (especially, it seems, the ones for gay rights/Prop 8 — I'll leave it to you to figure out which ones those are). … Read More
What’s Your Secret?
People who like the website "PostSecret" will like this video by Frank Warren (who created PostSecret) in which he asks one question: What's Your Secret? Funny, moving, shocking… it's all there: PostSecret: Confessions on Life, Death and God from Frank Warren on Vimeo.
“Ummmm… Okay”
That's my reaction to the news that three-times married TV icon Meredith Baxter Burney, (the mom on Family Ties) has announced that she is gay. It's also my reaction to the news that Facebook is getting rid of regional networks. And while I'm being non-plussed, you can file this under "Things I Already Suspected To Be True"
Website Of The Day
It's just a tray, right? I mean, that's all it really is….. right? (Apparently, this company is operated out of Greensboro…)
The GOP Divide
There's a lot of information to be gleaned from this Washington Poll. Most of it isn't terribly surprising — for example, Republicans really really really don't like Obama. In this sense, the Republicans are united. In fact, Republicans appear to be very united in what they don't like, including their dissatisfaction with their own party (In 2005, 76% of Republicans … Read More
The Cutest Video Ever?
God knows the Internet is full of cute, so I tend to ignore it all, at the risk of serious cute overload. Still, this is probably the cutest thing out there:
