Good Ol' KEZI

Well done, KEZI. You have proven once again that you know how to dominate the news hour in a college market.



Gee, what does that look like?

Jizz In My Pants

Andy Samberg's Digital Shorts with SNL have always been good, but comparatively, it's hard to top some of those first ones. However, every time I watch them I find myself laughing. They're so dumb they're funny, and a perfect example is the latest one. Take a look above.

Everyday Normal Guy

Hilarious video, and AMAZING political tool

What a great idea:

Great Woot Ad

Check out this great ad Woot! runs with Google AdSense. It's in the sidebar.



Talk about perfect for the times. Woot! really knows how to reach out to its customer base...

Tina Fey will be sad if McCain isn't elected, because she has so much fun playing Sarah Palin.

Little Bill O'Reilly

This is perfect.

So bad it's... well, terrible.

A Gorilla, Phil Collins, and a Drum Machine

Great drum work, albeit a pointless commercial.

I Wish I Was Like Polski

"He once had a heart attack, woke up, and sold the paramedics 12 dozen steak knives. That was Polski!"

Britney Spears Did What?!

E-mail is a wonderful thing. However, you do inevitably have to deal with spam. There isn't a filter out there that can block all spam (and not catch some e-mails you actually want in the process), but they're working to make them as tight as possible. Most filters do a good job of getting rid of a lot of spam, but there are always those spammers who find ways to get through.

Enter: my spam folder



If I have to get spam, I think this might be the best kind. These are totally entertaining. My favorite is "Britney Spears' vagina attacks warder and escapes rehab". These are classic.

Sincere? Or Veiled Mockery?

Obama is naturally basking in the glow of the Democratic Nomination, as Hilary Clinton has announced that she is done, and that she officially supports Obama to boot. So his people throw up this nice little graphic and send it out to all 40 billion people Obama has on his mailing list, me being one of them.



So I look at this and think, "oh, that's a nice gesture from him." He's showing some class, which is nothing new from him. But then I was looking at it, and I was thinking, that could be a pretty snide comment if there was some other motivation for it. Something like "Thank You, Senator Clinton, for finally getting real and dropping out of this race." The fact that he called her Senator Clinton and not Hillary also could play to that intention.

I'm sure it means well, but I just thought it was kind of funny. I look forward to Obama finally getting into some actual campaigning for President, instead of just the Democratic Nomination. OBAMA!

What Kind of Question Is That?!

I've been busy today with interviews, applications, assignments, and plenty of other crap. My brain is pretty worn out already, and I still have 2 assignments and (maybe) an application to go. Thank goodness I didn't have class today. But I was going through the online application for a company today that included a personality test. "Just to kind of get to know you" they said. Whatever, here goes.

So I'm going through this thing, and it feels like one of those marketing surveys I've taken so many times in the past, the extent to which you agree or disagree with something. Ugh, I hat those. But I was nearing the end and doing my best to stay focused and honest throughout. I mean, I think I might want this job, so I took it seriously.

That was until I hit one of the last questions. Here it is:



I read it again. Nope, it still says what I think it says. What the hell kind of question was that? There was nothing else like that the other 75 questions, just the one random poor person insult.

So I laughed a little, answered "disagree" as you can see, and moved on. It just really caught me off guard and made me question the motives behind it for a second. "Oh, they must hate poor people."

Hopefully they don't read my blog... because I do want the job...

"Please take that ugly OSU shit off." Love, Franklin

There's a story in some po-dunk news paper in Albany about a tour at the UO Athletic Department on Friday where the tour guide asked kids to take off or cover up their OSU crap. Well, it was our good friend Franklin [from Allow Me To Be Frank(lin)] and now he's famous! Check out the article in the Albany Democrat Herald.

I would just like to commend Franklin on his efforts. I think it's disrespectful to wear clothes with a rival's name and/or logo to that school. It would be fine if the Beavs were playing, of course, I would actually encourage that. But it wasn't. It was a tour, given by an unpaid intern, for free. Show some courtesy.

But this kid made a big deal out of nothing really. The teachers even said they didn't think anything of it. It wasn't like they were forced to take their stuff off, it was a comment playfully jabbing back at some kids who, by what they were wearing, were jabbing at him. How do I know? Franklin told me.

There is a lot of chatter on the eDuck forums about this. I like a lot of them (like "That tour guide deserves a raise."), and you should check them out if you need a laugh or a reminder of how dumb some people are, but I would just like to post one comment in particular that was relevant and that I liked a lot:

"I think it's humorous in many ways...

1. that you think there is something bad about it
2. that the tour guide takes his school and colors so seriously
3. that the kids "parents" take it so seriously that they made it a point to dress their kids up in osu garb prior to the field trip to U of O
4. That the teachers did not address something like that in a note to the parents prior to the field trip, like is normally done.
5. That you and I are even commenting on it."

So true buddy, so true.

Oh boy, those crazy Albanians (I assume that's what they're called), everything's a big story when you live in the sticks, I guess.

What do you think? After reading the story, is this a big deal or not?

This video really makes me want to invest in Microsoft Surface. Would you still be interested after this commercial?

Happy Mother's Day, Love LeBron

Oh, the Comedic Juxtoposition is Killing Me

Every Tuesday and Thursday, during my 2 hour break between classes, I come to the computer lab to kill time. The first thing I do is read the top stories on Digg from my iGoogle homepage. Today, The third story, with 2247 Diggs (as of this posting) was titled "Penis theft on the rise." That's a funny and ridiculous headline, but could it really be true? I had to check it out.

So I click the link (to Yahoo News) and read the original headline, "Lynchings in Congo as penis theft panic hits capital." How hilarious, so I read the first paragraph:

Police in Congo have arrested 13 suspected sorcerers accused of using black magic to steal or shrink men's penises after a wave of panic and attempted lynchings triggered by the alleged witchcraft.

Oh my God it got more funny and ridiculous. So I read a little bit more, laughed at the use of the term "penis snatching," and made my way down the page.

Then I noticed something. An ad on the page. For Hillary Clinton. I shit you not, this was the ad that popped up, I have the screencap to prove it:


So I sat back and admired this hilarious juxtaposition. A story about a penis snatchers witch hunt, and Hillary's face right there, with "Should Hillary Quit" on it.

So I ask you, good people of the Blogarrhea: Should Hillary quit snatching penises?

Shel Israel: The Puppet

Disclaimer: If you don't like tech, you should probably stop reading. You might get bored. Just sayin'.

Shel Israel is a figure in the tech community. Not very visible, per se, but a figure nonetheless. He's an author, a vlogger for fastcompany.tv, and maintains the blog "Global Neighbourhoods: Social Media's impact on business & culture." He is an actual person.

Shel Israel the puppet is not a real person. He is a puppet that vlogs for "Shel Israel: A parody of Social Media’s impact on business & culture."

Jason Calacanis is an internet entreprenuer, and currently the founder of Mahalo.com, a kind of Google/Wikipedia hybrid site. He's an occasional guest on TWiT, and it appears he's also got his hand in 1938 Media, which produces Shel Israel the puppet's vlog.

If you are still with me, then you are going to love this. So, Shel Israel, the real guy, has had a bunch of blogs over the years, but apparently never bought his own domain name, shelisrael.com. Or, at least it was available on March 31, because the guy who does the voice, or Calacanis or somebody, discovered this and bought it up, and is now totally exploiting it. Basically, it's Shel, the puppet, doing interviews in the vein of Triumph the Insult Comic Dog, but about tech and the people in it. The guy who does Shel Israel is real funny. He references how dumb it is to not have your own domain name all the time. Classic.

So, head over to shelisrael.com, watch a few of the videos, get used to his shtick, and I will be surprised if you're not hooked. My favorite episode so far is "Shel Tours Mahalo." It had me laughing real hard at one point. Also, check out 1938media.com, which seems to be a bit more up to date.

You know what? Even those not into tech might enjoy it. So, if you're still reading, check it out anyways.

Ugliest Outfit Party

Last night we had an "ugliest outfit" party at our place. Not really sure how it came about, but it did. So, we all dug through our closets for the ugliest outfits we could find, and here's what everyone came up with:

Ryan pulled his look together with multiple collars, a Burberry scarf, sweat shorts, mismatching socks, and a jock strap. Very nice Ryan.


I went with more of a Jamie Kennedy look with the upside down visor, a Randy Moss jersey under a gray cutoff, tucked into shorts, with dress shoes ad a tie. Had to class it up a little.


Hayley and Amanda really turned up the heat with these sexy ensembles. Hayley offered... well, let's just say scarves and belts.


Amanda couldn't decide whether she was going to the mountain or going out to the club. I call it: "layers". Couldn't have been pulled off any sharper, well done.


Jake brought hockey to the party along with his finest pair of flannel pants, the classic orange shorts, and his high school football helmet. Jake, where's your other sock? Oh, right, worst dressed.


Bryan, complete with Lee Trevino era Gatorade hat and rust colored shorts he just bought (and will soon be returning, because that's NOT what they looked like online), joined the party with a nice shiny purple shirt buttoned at the top. Nice.


Jill showed up, dug through Amanda's closet for a while, and came out with this gem of an outfit. Well played, ma'am.


A while later, Bridget came over and wowed us all with the best shirt we'd ever seen. That shirt in combination with the zebra print, perfection.


So we all voted for who we thought was the worst dressed, and not surprisingly, Bridget went #1, and Amanda and Ryan tied for #2. I give it to Ryan for that incredible pose he has in that picture. Congrats to them. What do you guys think?
