Creationism

Posted by Joe on May 29th, 2007

 
On the first day… god created… yatta yah…
On that day back when god was bored, he accidentally made a platypus.
Then, in 2007 man created the Creation Museum.  A high tech museum dedicated to making science and the bible match up.
 The museum, as I saw it on the news Friday morning on GMA (good morning america), [...]

fish

Posted by Joe on May 29th, 2007

two things are happening around Wisconsin that are alarming to me on a certain level.
1-  There seems to be so much resistance in cleaning up the mess that the local factories have dumped into our waters.  There are signs posted all along the Fox River stating the fish, and that you can only eat 1 [...]

Video Game movies…

Posted by Joe on May 25th, 2007

Sometimes, video games should not be made into movies… The Sims, is one such video game that should not be made into a movie… yet, someone thinks it should… and surprise, its not Uwe Boll!

Check the Link 
Pong on the other hand makes a great movie! Well, at least a nice little flash video.

CAVEman

Posted by Joe on May 24th, 2007

The Canadians have made their move!
What is it? Its what they call a “4D” image of the human body that is projected in front of the viewer who is wearing special glasses and in a special viewing room.
( I would have inserted an image here if the internet would be agreeable )
CAVEman not only [...]

Color me impressed…

Posted by Joe on May 23rd, 2007

Fergie has a song that doesn’t completely suck balls, cause babies to cry, induce vomiting, or bring a great wailing and gnashing of teeth.  Here is the video for it, Big Girls Don’t Cry (Personal).

Good Commercials

Posted by Joe on May 23rd, 2007

Diet Mountain Dew has been releasing rather good commercial spots lately. I specifically love the ferret one, even if the one below is not what I saw on air… this one has more pseudo-gore, than what is actually airing from what I remember.

Posted by Joe on May 21st, 2007

Regular MTV is no longer doing it for you anymore is it? You need something more…. interactive? Then, you need look no further, Vmtv is here! After looking at the website for a bit, this seems nothing more than a Second Life knock off really, except don’t expect to be able to [...]

Short Cuts Showcase

Posted by Joe on May 21st, 2007

Nintendo is running a shorts contest entitled Nintendo Short Cuts Showcase.
by a quick glance at the rules, it seems like there isn’t anything stating length or content (besides being baised on something Nintendo related).
Winners can receive Nintendo products, $10,000, and a trip to meet Craig Hatkoff, the co-founder of the Tribeca Film Festival and your [...]

New changes

Posted by Joe on May 21st, 2007

I’m not exactly sure when this change happened, but it is for the good.
Netflix, a company that forced a new paradigm of video rental, has moved into the field of on-demand video. I am about to view some video that is available to view from the internet as I type. I find this [...]

This parade is not for the lazy

Posted by Gary on May 17th, 2007

Hey, if you’re not doing anything on Saturday, you might wanna head over to Whalan, Minnesota for the annual Stand Still Parade.
Here’s the dealio… the main drag in town is barely two blocks long, which would make for a pretty short traditional parade. And with a population of around sixty, they don’t have any [...]

Finally! Someone recognizes real filth.

Posted by Gary on May 17th, 2007

It’s about time someone realizes the Bible for what it is… a collection of filth, smut, violence and the occasional story of doing good deeds.
More than 800 Hong Kong residents have called on authorities to reclassify the Bible as “indecent” due to its sexual and violent content, following an uproar over a sex column in [...]

Fox News - Donkey Punch…

Patrice Oneal isn’t afraid to split hairs over deviant sexual acts… even on Fox News

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fjIuPSuYSOY

I personally think Patrice has some interesting things to say, but overall he isn’t the PR person for the everyman/woman of America. He is almost right on when he questions the woman in the debate, “Who are these people?” [...]
