IPad Fail Videos
Hitler reacts to the Ipad
I like the Ipad, but apparently Hitler does not. He has a past record of being on the right side of inventions (VW, anyone?), but this is a definite Fail.
Apple Ipad Fail
The Muppets Cover "Bohemian Rhapsody", Miss Piggy Rocks the House!
As I told my friends when they showed me this the other day, this video is so great that the 12 million-odd Youtube views are probably the result of 2 million people watching it six times each. Really, it's that good. If you haven't seen this, watch it now.
The Grounding of Tess: Is it Fair?
Facebook has been used by possibly nefarious parties to secretly find out the color of your underwear, to take sides in the disputed Iranian election, and is now being used by a 15-year-old to protest being grounded by her parents.
Her crime was simple: she went to a party with alcohol present and was late for her curfew by one hour. Her parents responded quickly to their daughter’s crimes with a swift and possibly harsh judgment: they grounded her for five weeks.
The Super Glue Criminal
I recently had the worst hair cut of my entire life. No joke. But it might be nothing compared to the weird dude in Oregon who has been randomly putting super glue in women's hair.
Jared Weston Waler, who hails from Texas, has recently been charged with “interfering with public transit” in Oregon.
Anti-Smoking Groups Complaining about Avatar
We are clearly getting too uptight about a few things. And, by “we”, I don’t necessarily mean “we” as in “you” or “I”.
I just read an article in the NYT which quoted some idiot from some anti-tobacco association who was upset about Sigourney Weaver (who played a research scientist and is somehow always associated with any film involving aliens) smoking a cigarette in a scene in the movie “Avatar.”
In case you are wondering what he said, it is definitely worse than you could ever guess. Here’s a hint: it involves an ingredient for a nuclear weapon.
This is like someone just put a bunch of plutonium in the water supply.
