To every coin there are two sides. Let’s consider this, for example; in one side, it’s great news the presidential run of George W. Bush Jr. is finally over, since his absence is equated by most as a good chance the USA will finally get out from the dark pits of recession. On the other side…
Next: his finest moments!
… well, the Internet just won’t be as fun, now that such an influential and far-reaching comedian has been removed from the spotlight. With this in mind, I decided to make one last homage, with some of the top highlights and Bushisms illustrating his remarkable and illustrious political career. And i quote: Continue Reading »
What, do I need to comment on this? You people really like watching go around chasing my own literary tail, now dont’cha? Well… just in case this picture doesn’t speak volumes in and of itself (or otherwise in case you still haven’t had that morning coffee which usually kicks off your neurons), I’ll provide you with a little extra something straight from one of America’s most reliable news sources:
WASHINGTON—African-American man Barack Obama, 47, was given the least-desirable job in the entire country Tuesday when he was elected president of the United States of America. In his new high-stress, low-reward position, Obama will be charged with such tasks as completely overhauling the nation’s broken-down economy, repairing the crumbling infrastructure, and generally having to please more than 300 million Americans and cater to their every whim on a daily basis. As part of his duties, the black man will have to spend four to eight years cleaning up the messes other people left behind. The job comes with such intense scrutiny and so certain a guarantee of failure that only one other person even bothered applying for it. Said scholar and activist Mark L. Denton, “It just goes to show you that, in this country, a black man still can’t catch a break.”
What can I say? House MD is currently one of my favorite tv shows out there. I think that characters features a remarkably impressive asinine charm; he’s the kind of fiend we all love to hate. Fortunately, there’s a character in the series which keeps him in balance (sort of), even though he has been somewhat stray during the early 5th Season. Well, for better and for worse it seems like Wilson is back on the show’s character roster, and as a way to celebrate, I figured it would be nice posting this compilation showcasing the best House vs. Wilson moments. Those two might put up quite the act and they’re always messing with each other, but you can tell they’re actually good friends. What’s a friendship without a little bitter-sweet confrontation, anyway?
Okay. So one day I’m gonna write this post featuring a special compilation of the most asinine and ridiculously funny signs ever to come out from the land of the rising sun. And you know what? I have a feeling this picture here will be making the headlines. However I must admit that it actually makes sense… I mean, anyone who has vomited is well aware that it makes you feel better (well unless you’re bulimic, I guess… but that’s a whole different game I’m talking). But still… in what context would a sign like this ever be conceived? I’d certainly like to know.
Do you remember what it was like to go through High School? Some people think of that as the best time of their life, while others think it’s the worse. Then, some people think of their graduation speeches as a chance to say a lot of senseless crap, and then some people take that opportunity to make something innovative and memorable. Case in point, I’m about to show with with a very special video from a peculiar kid who falls somewhere in between, while successfully captivating the crowd’s imagination. Ah… those kids nowadays.
Whether we like it or not, the world becomes a softer place for all of us from the use of metaphors. I mean, can you imagine what it would be like if everyone went around with a fast-forward, tongue-in-cheek attitude, speaking their minds freely in every circumstance without making the least detour or using some colorful comparisons? Well, I’m guessing that disaster would ensue and confusion will be likely to get cast all around. So while you watch the following video, hopefully you’ll keep in mind that metaphors are actually quite useful and actually necessary as a lesser evil:
I’ve been reading a lot of webstrips lately, and there’s a few I’m planning to share with all you good Internet people in the near future. However, I just came across this particular strip from the WTTF (welcome to the future) cartoon which felt somehow urgent to post.
Hm… how do I put this without getting into political bias… I feel its’ urgent to share this specific cartoon at this moment in history simply because I’m a huge adept of … hm, science. That’s right. Now and ever, genuine… mmm, science should e allowed to triumph over sheer evil. Now quit thinking and get reading some comics, if you will! Welcome to the Future!
As far as classic pop songs are concerned with, this is not necessarily the most famous (even though it’s definitely well ranked), but it’s quite possibly one of the most elusive. Not because it features outstandingly deep lyrics or anything like that, but simply because it was accompanied with a videoclip that oftentimes left people wondering “what was that all about?”.
Granted, nonsensicalness is pretty much a standard feature of music videos - remarkably so during the 80’s, but still… it’s always good to get a healthy reality check every now and then. In this spirit, allow me to introduce you to the new revamped version of a-Ha’s “Take on me”, which faithfully mirrors the action featured in the videoclip. Now… isn’t that refreshing?
