Wednesday Time Wasters: Big Finals Spectacular!
04 May 2009 | By Greg Gangelhoff in Wednesday Time Wasters
Too late! You’re wasting time already.
I know it’s not Wednesday, but hey, do you want some of this internet or not? Plus, don’t try and tell me that you were working before you saw this, I know you too well. Here we go!
- Cracked discovers the typology of celebrity baby names. Sh*tty transformers are a go!
- Everyone knows that Cleveland sucks (sorry Danny!) and someone made a fake tourism board video to prove it. Check out their first attempt for some more Ohio-bashing.
- Ever wondered how much sugar is in your drinks, candy and sauces, but were too confused by numbers? Check out Sugar Stacks for a physical representation of your sweet diet.
- Texts from last night collects those unfortunate texts you probably shouldn’t have sent, and captures some inadvertent wisdom.
- Education alert! Some graphical representation of the US/China trade relationship.
- Remember Dramatic Chipmunk? Check out Obnoxious Groundhoug. He’s British!
- Now all you cokeheads can combine your expensive habit with your expensive iPhone. Yay for recession drugs! Via Ms. JW
Hit the jump for life, auto-tuned.
Michael Gregory has been making videos on YouTube for a while, and while he can sing pretty well, his great contribution to internet comedy is auto-tuning everything. Here he is auto-tuning some news from a couple weeks ago. It tapers near the end, but I’ll be damned if this isn’t an awesome idea. Take notes, T-Pain.
And just this week Mr. Gregory (hey, like me!) came out with a retrospective on Obama’s first 100 days. I would rather have watched this on constant rotation than all of the retrospectives on ‘real’ TV combined.
Biggest take-away for me? Katie Couric was made for auto-tune. If you’re hankering for more, check out Winston Churchill auto-tuned.
Have a great finals week, and I’ll be back soon to waste some more of your time. Get ready for an end-of-the-year links blowout that will, um, blow your mind.
