Ok, I just found this on the net. Busy working today I tell you. It looks like a real trailer and I’m wondering how they are going to spin this one? Sure the cartoon kicked ass but appears to be a live action/cgi movie. The more I think about it, the more excited I get! Good luck Transformer fans. I hope we get something worth watching.

Brittney (why the hell did you marry that redneck) Spears is doing a nude cover for BAZZAR magazine. What the hell is Bazzar thinking?!? I’d much rather see a Keira Knightley or even a naked Hippo than Brittney naked at this point. But what’s this?
Wow, looks like someone did a decent job of photoshop. No doubt it probably took them 10 hours of complete hell having to look at that picture for such a long time. Give the guy a raise… if he hasn’t committed suicide already from having the “before” image burned into his retina. Exactly what did this god of Photoshop have to work with?
Yeah… and ask LP. I just gave you the best one I could find. One I showed him earlier was vomit inducing. Uncovering the truth is a dirty job.

Have you ever wondered why Superman can’t seem to hook up with anyone. By hookup, I do mean sex. Of course you have! He may have kissed LL once or twice, but they SURELY haven’t copulated. Well, someone by the name of Larry Niven reprinted an article that was written about the impossibilities of Super Sex. Here is just a taste of the many theories surrounding the Pimp from Space.
Assume a mating between Superman and a human woman designated LL for convenience.
Either Superman has gone completely schizo and believes himself to be Clark Kent; or he knows what he’s doing, but no longer gives a damn. Thirty-one years is a long time. For Superman it has been even longer. He has X-ray vision; he knows just what he’s missing. (*One should not think of Superman as a Peeping Tom. A biological ability must be used. As a child Superman may never have known that things had surfaces, until he learned to suppress his X-ray vision. If millions of people tend shamelessly to wear clothing with no lead in the weave, that is hardly Superman’s fault.*)
The problem is this. Electroencephalograms taken of men and women during sexual intercourse show that orgasm resembles “a kind of pleasurable epileptic attack.” One loses control over one’s muscles.
Superman has been known to leave his fingerprints in steel and in hardened concrete, accidentally. What would he do to the woman in his arms during what amounts to an epileptic fit?
This is some serious stuff! Read more here.

Thanks to Burin for this link.
Traditional multimedia advertisements are a dying breed. They have evolved from our radios and televisions to movie theaters. Yetuc and I recently went to see X Men and I was really disappointed in the ad to trailer ratio. I didn’t time it, but I’m pretty sure I spent more time watching ads than trailers. (Correct use of than?) The movie started at 1:30 PM, but after all the adds and trailers it began closer to 1:50. What’s up with that?!?
Tivo my friend.
I haven’t owned a Tivo (or any other DVR system) before but I have used one before. They are awesome. I can easily skip any commercial break I don’t want to see. Companies are really getting pissed about DVRs because it means that they are paying for nothing if people who own these systems use the fast forward feature. Ad companies are requesting price breaks from the big Networks because of this problem. It is estimated that 16% of households will own a DVR type system by the end of the year. The number of systems really scares them. Because of this, the companies are changing their strategies. Look for more ads on the Internet. Look for more ads in your video games. Matrix Online, Swat 4, Planetside (not sure if they still have them), and other games (such as the new “Left Behind” game) are now selling their gaming souls for the chance to make more money from the ad companies. The above Chinese ad for WoW/Coke is entertaining and found on television so I’m cool with that. But will Blizzard find a way to add a Coke placement into the game? I don’t see how.
Let me hit on the Left Behind game for a second. Ars Technica has an article discussing how the game comes with what most would consider spy-ware. This game phones home so to say. It collects your personal information, how long you’ve played the game, how long you looked at the ads, how many times you’ve seen them, etc. Anyone else have a problem with this? The ONLY way I could see this as ethical is for the game box to have some warning or information about this practice. If it’s inside the box or on the installation CD you’re screwed because once the box is opened you can’t return it. Back to the story.
There is a way to do this game + ads idea though. To me, it is the lesser of all evils. Let’s say that WoW wanted to cash in on the advertisement market with Coke. Blizzard clearly could not place a coke can or billboard within the game. It would just not work. I am against it and I don’t see it happening. They could however go back to the old school MMO style game “startup”. Here are the two ways I can see this happening.
When you start WoW the first thing that appears is their news section where they present the latest and greatest features of WoW. They could easily place an ad on that window. I don’t care where it is, just let me hit the play button and I’m happy.
Another way would be to add a splash screen while the game is loading. If you’ve played any FPS lately, there is almost always some legal mumbo-jumbo about the game and such. Throw an ad between the start of the game and the menu section. I don’t really care as long as I can play my game. Back to the idea of the loading screen. This is a win-win situation. I almost always look to the WoW loading screen to see if there is something I haven’t figured out yet. What if a small section of that screen had an ad. Yes I know that it would take away some of the immersion, but it’s a loading screen. The fact that there is even a loading screen does that already.
These are just my ideas. And to all the major Ad companies out there I have this to say: BE CREATIVE NOT RESTRICTIVE!
That is all.

It’s not exactly what you think. It’s damn funny though.
One of my FAVORITE Conan O’Brien Clips.

Wonder if I can get tickets for the show when we head to New York!?! That would be awesome!

*Ok, copy and paste. Making a link just isn’t working.*
Would you poison my elixir of life?
That’s what the Dew Pirate did.
Now. There’s three things wrong with this.
1. You do NOT poison someone’s Mountain Dew. That’s immoral.
2. Haven’t we all seen enough sitcoms to know that when you lie about your role in a play, something will happen and your family will find out?
3. If my sources are correct, bleach reacts with the carbonation in Mountain Dew to be untraceable. This means there was no indicative forensic evidence.
I don’t condone trying to poison people through Mountain Dew, but if you’re going to be a criminal, at least be an intelligent one, please.
Her combination of using a holy drink to poison, her inattention in Chemistry, and her apparent habit of drinking bleach give us our final product: Swabbie McClorox
Is it just me or do those 2 men between the buildings giants?
World Trade Center is set to open this August. Unlike United 93, I have no desire to see this movie. Nicolas Cage as a rescue worker? I just don’t see it personally. But the bigger questions is this: Should Hollywood make movies about what happened on 9/11?
Where should we draw the line? Should we have a line? Opinions are welcomed.
