American Idol? John McCain Bombs the Beach Boys
During the last election cycle (U.S. politics here), Howard Dean was a surprisingly
strong contender to be the Democratic candidate. But, Fox News jumped all
over him because he shouted “hey!” after making a long list
of planned victories. So that's all it takes to be deemed unfit to be president, shouting "hey!" into
a microphone. Last week, John McCain, a strong Republican candidate, sang "Bomb
Iran" to the tune of "Barbara Ann," an old Beach Boys'
song. What should happen to him? McCain thinks everyone should just lighten
up and forgive him.
Which way you goin' Billy?
It turns out that in-car GPS is incredibly easy to hack and control. Something
about using unsecured frequency for transmistting the data? That can’t
be good. So the next time you're in Seoul and your taxi driver is going
the wrong way from HBC to Itaewan, maybe this is why. Here’s
how you too can do it yourself!
Robot Falcons
Just to make life even more confusing for your poor cat, now we have robotic
birds. Worse, they're predators. Shouldn’t we have started with robot
canaries and worked our way up to robot falcons? Check
it out.
Best Bank Revenge Ever!
Man sues bank. Bank laughs. Man walks in and repossesses computers. Read
it here.
Catch the wave!
Tired of too much advertising? Ads everywhere! Me too. Well, Sao Paulo, Brazil
is banning all outdoor advertising - billboards, neon signs and electronic
panels (TVs). Some people aren't happy. Guess
who.
So, there goes my theory about where the "LOST" survivors
really are!
The Catholic Church has decided that Limbo (the place where "good" unbelievers
who are not otherwise deserving of Hell have to live for eternity) no longer
exists. I don’t know if I’m relieved or scared. Limbo,
we hardly knew ya.
300 Anchormen fight in the shade!
I can't bring myself to watch 300 because I think the real story deserves
better than what I've seen of this (Sparta, the people who intentionally
had no art and extravagances suddenly look like they lived in Aryan post-modernist
splendor?). BUT, I will watch "300 Re-cut" a
compilation of mash-ups of trailers for 300 and other films.
