Scare Tactics

This has to be the best "gotcha" I have seen.

The iPhone is a piece of shit, and so is your face.

Looks like I'm not the only one that thinks the iPhone is an iDud.

The Entire Internet Crashes

OnionNN report on the entire internet crashing. It gets really funny in the second half.

Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law Dies

The last episode of Harvey Birdman, Attorney at Law, titled The Death of Harvey Birdman just aired on Adult Swim in the states. I wasn't an ardent follower, but I watched the odd episode and I know a lot of fans, and it was a milestone in flash animation. [adult swim] | Adult Swim Video

Lost Wallet Test - 100 wallets deliberately lost to test honesty

This is an interesting social experiment conducted by bored.com. Lost Wallet Test - 100 wallets deliberately lost to test honesty. You can check out the results based on gender, race and age. For the executive summary, old white females are the most trustworthy, and young black males are the least trustworthy. I'll wait while you pick your jaws up off the floor.

Endless Assembly Lines and Giant Cafeterias

Inside China's Vast Factories

Mobile phone salesman sings opera on Britain's got talent

This is amazing. Interesting to see if he can keep this up.

CPDRC Thriller

Inmates at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center in Cebu, Phillipines practicing a routine to Michael Jackson's "Thriller". How did they manage get a chick into a male only prison? Watch to find out!

Mrs Garrison's Theory of Evolution

I haven't watched South Park since the early days, because I got a little tired of the formula, but recently I got some episodes from a mate and I have to say, I think one of them was the funniest I have ever seen, and I own a Mr Hanky the Christmas Poo plush toy. To setup the clip, Mrs Garrison (I didn't realise Mr Garrison had a sex change until I saw this ep) is a creationist, but she is forced under protest to teach the "theory" of evolution.

In the same episode, we (unfortunately) get to see Mrs Garrisons "breasts", but fortunately I couldn't find a clip for that. In the same episode, Cartman goes crazy waiting for the Wii, which dovetails nicely with the previous post. For those of you playing at home, the episode is called "Oh God Go".

wiitard (noun) An insulting name for a Nintendo fanboy. Derived from combining "Wii" and "retard."

Lily Allen's Third Nipple

Do I really need to say any more?

Marcopedia trivia: in ye olden days, they thought that people with a 3rd nipple were evil because it was used to suckle demon spawn.

Human Tetris

This is what Youtube is all about, random hilarious crap from Japan. After you watch the best of the best below, you can also check out the slightly less entertaining slippery unicycle challenge. c/o RichardB and others.

Classic Movie: Major Payne

While it's not necessarily one of the greatest movies of all time, Major Payne is pretty decent and has some awesome moments, particularly as a kid's movie that adults can sit down and watch as well. It's the first movie that introduced me to Damon Wayans, so for that it's special to me. This scene will give you a little taste:

Classic TV Reporter Accident

People getting hurt is always funny. Sound essential. c/o RichardB

Bad Rap Music

Somehow we started talking about bad rap music today. The usual ones like Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer came up, but one from the past that I had forgotten was Snow, with his song Informer, with the only lyric I could remember being "a licky boom boom down". As usual, the glorious Youtube threw up some gems:

Vanilla Ice, Ice Ice Baby vs Jim Carey, Ice Ice Baby

Snow, Informer vs Jim Carey, Imposter

Marcopedia trivia: In one of the Survivor series, one of the contestants is famous for being able to sing "Ice Ice Baby" in its entirety and is goaded into doing it by his other contestants during the final immunity challenge. He loses his balance and falls off doing the "white boy rap hands", which doctors tell me is an involuntary spasm usually encountered by caucasians when singing rap music.

Spot the Shemale Test

This is a very fun test: Spot the Shemale

The lowest score I've seen is 10, the highest 14, the average seems to be 12. Fortunately, my score was one of the 14's.
