Ok, so by now some of you regulars are probably starting to wonder if I’m going to rebrand this website as “Slices of Michael Jackson” – on account of the diversity of posts I’ve been releasing lately, celebrating different aspects of the king of Pop. Regardless, this is a video I just couldn’t go without posting: after all, it throws in the mix two of my favorite people of African-American ascent. I’m talking of course about MJ and president Obama!

I you have ever, in your wildest dreams tried to imagine what would result if these two amazing personas were combined as a single individual… well, I should say you sure have a fertile imagination. Plus, I will say you’re in for a treat. I mean, just sit back, grab a drink and feast your eyes on this 13 minute extended parody of Michael Jackson’s Thriller, starring no one else but our dear president in office Barak Obama. Here you go:

Now, someone just needs to make a parody of Michael Jackson as president Obama. Then my existence will be officially be fulfilled.

People are Lazy. No surprises here, right? Me, You, anybody… we all have a tendency towards lethargy, and that’s something some of us choose fighting. But come on, let’s face it: some people are just too lazy for their own good… especially out here on the Internet! How many times has somebody approached you via forums, IM, mail, (etc..) asking a question that could get answered just as easily from performing a simple Google query? But no, some people just seem to prefer that you Google stuff for them!

If you’ve ever been annoyed because someone bothered you with that kind of questions, you’ll enjoy this website I’ve just found. It’s called “Let me Google That for You“…. and in case you’re wondering that’s just what it does! Here, check this for an example of how it works! And try it yourself. I hope this helps you teach a funny and insightful lesson to lazy people out there.

Well, some of the regular customers might have noticed the recent lack of updates, but I want to reassure all of you believers that I’ve been around lurking most of the time, and weeding out the site’s archive. Now that I’ve reached my first 1000 posts, I want to take some time to breathe and take notice of the good and bad things I’ve done in this past 18 months of operation, as well as the editorial choices for the future.

resistance is futile??

That argument shall be resumed in a further posting. Now for today’s daily reminder why we like it here.

Maybe you’ve heard about the Rickroll or the OM NOM NOM and will it blend? – tell you what, I’ll just pop an illustrative example from the awesome XKCD online cartoon:

all about memes?

Now, I don’t mean to suggest that you should waste your romantic life on the pursuit of Internet memes (much the other way around), but still I enjoy keeping up with some of the latest Internet crazes – if nothing else, just for curiosity’s sake. So today we’re discussing the “All your base are belong to us“. If you want detailed information on this meme’s background, check the Wiki article I just linked; but simply put everything started with this cinematic passage from a popular Genesis game in the 1990′s:

To cut a long story short, it was around 2002 when someone decided to bring up this picturesque typo from a video game back-in-the-day, and soon enough the whole of the Internet was singing in harmony to the prophetic engrish saying… and now “all your base are belong to us”! Just like that.

Know your memes: All your base are belong to us.

Techno Remix all your base (and pictures) are belong… to us.
