Wednesday Time Wasters: JUMBO EDITION.
11 February 2009 | By Greg Gangelhoff in Politics, Wednesday Time Wasters
I hope everyone enjoyed that look into Sony’s latest product. As we slog through a week leading up to one of the most commercialized holidays of the year, I felt it appropriate to put things in Onion-y perspective. I’ve got a buttload of links to dump this week, which means that a winner is you! Here we go:
- A cow got hit by lightning and survived. Talk about holy cow! (HAR HAR HAR I know, I’m a genius).
- Want to know the weather in your zipcode, and be angry about it? Check out The F*cking Weather.
- Here’s a picture of JFK and Bill Clinton shaking hands. Isn’t the internet neat?
- Barack Obama is tired of your mthrfckng sht, and he isn’t afraid to tell you.
- Check out this very slick collection of something we don’t often think about very much: loading screens. It’s sort of hypnotizing.
- This week’s funny blog explains that This is why you’re fat. Man, that all looks delicious.
Hit the jump for a look into the world of film piracy and the intersection where Daft Punk, the NES and Guitar Hero meet.
- The Independent (the UK edition, not your beloved Indy) did a neat expose on aXXo, the BitTorrent king who is the source of most of your pirated movies. For more dirt, check out this Slate piece.
- Look at what Jezebel dug up: old copies of InFashion magazine! Relive all of the fashion horror of the ’90s from the comfort of our stylish era.
- This dude does neat sidewalk art.
- Some person made a Guitar Hero mod for their NES, and then played Daft Punk’s ‘Harder, Better, Faster, Stronger’ on it. That person is a genius.
To wrap things up, two funny videos. First up, it’s the Japanese version of the ‘24′ theme song. I really think this could catch on, especially since I now pronounce ‘Jack Bauer’ exactly like this dude:
And finally, a hilarious redub of one of those addictive infomercials. This one’s for Kaboom, which is ostensibly the best cleaning agent out there. It’s some of the most juvenile humor out there, but no one said this was a classy joint. NSFW.
See you next week, lovers.
