Tastes like subservient chicken…
Do you sometimes feel yourself torn between your love of cheap, sleazy, web-cam porn and your unquenchable taste for chicken sandwiches? Well then I have the site for you! Subservient Chicken.com is a flash based site that has a chicken standing there, that you can see via a pixelated shot of a non-descript room (much like that of a sleazy web-cam site). You can then tell the chicken what to do via a little text window…some things he will do (like vomit, or shake his ass) and some things he won’t do (like anything with a swear word in it). Is anyone else asking who the hell made this site? and why? Well here is your odd, but true answer: Burger King, all to promote their chicken sandwich, that you can have it anyway you want it.
Its weird, but will kill 10 mins or so
I have no words…
I saw this on the The Cult of Mac Blog and I’m astounded at the balls on this guy…assuming its true. Here is the story posted on Craig’s List: New York:
As he’s walking through the car and getting louder as he approaches me, i stick my leg out to trip him (fairly high) and what happens?
He steps right over it. What was so funny about it was before he approached me, the other people in the car were aghast that i would do such a thing. When he stepped over it, their faces dropped to the floor.
And i was laughing my ass off the whole ride home.
Told ya…this guy has huge balls…huge.
Poor film makers rejoice!
For all those young film-maker wannabes (myself included) out there:
I don’t know if this is just me, but have you always thought about how could it would be to have one of those “Steadycam” devices that the big productions have to make your handshot video a little less jerky? Well if you have 14 bucks, then you too can have a homemade version!
Cool huh? I think this might be a fun project, even though I do have a tripod…something to do right?
Isn’t the best stuff on the net the little stuff like this? What? …you aren’t as excited as me? Well I’ll post something for you folks later.
Larry Anderson
Mr. Anderson…it seems you have some time on your hands.
Young Larry Anderson (shown here) decided that there should be more “switch” ads coming out from Apple these days. Since Apple seems to be more focused on their iPod ads lately, Larry decided to make a switch video of his own (sans the traditional white backdrop).
I saw this floating around I decided I would have to share this with others. Its no “lightsaber kid” video, and Larry did intend on putting this on the web himself, but its just a little funny to me becuase ole’ Larry here is so serious about it. I could see myself doing this but purely as a spoof. Nope, not Larry. He is rock-solid in his devotion, and you have to admire it.
You can check out Larry’s ad in the “media” or just go here.
Naked Jumping Jacks!
Thats right. I saw a link to this the other day on some site (I’m a horrible journalist, I forgot where I got the link from!) Despite the horrible journalism, I thought I should still share this fantastically great oddity of the net we all know and love. If you like broads, check this out…if you like really weird stuff and don’t mind seeing a naked broad, check this out…and if you don’t like to see naked broads, then check this out.
You know, I’ve even heard that some people actually do this in real life!
Yankees have dismantled!
April Fools Day 2004 story
Talk about being crazy! After the Yankees 1-1 start to the season against the cronically bad Devil Rays, George Steinbrenner aparently ordered GM Brian Chashman to dismantle the 182 million dollar team in order to, and I quote “Save money before this horrible team wastes the year and my money.” In a flurry of trades he has sent shortstop, and team captain, Derek Jeter to the offensivly hopeless Dodgers, Jason Gambi was sent to the White Sox as was catcher Jorge Posada. Soon after Matsui was then sent to the Cardinals and even Alex Rodrigez was shipped, with the Yankees taking on the majority of his payroll, to the Angels! During the dismantling process, the Yankees had to eat the majority of the payroll and only required young prospects. The Yankees will be good again in a few years but they were completly distroyed within one night into the new version of the Devil Rays or Royals.
In the strangest twist of all Steinbrenner then called the Boston Red Sox owner John Henry and called a truce and symbolically gave the division to his once hated enemy. “I just can’t believe what the hell just happened in the last few hours!” stated Henry in the company of Red Sox GM Theo Epstein. “He came off as a real jerk when he conceded defeat to us, like he needed to dismantle his team in order for us to win.” Either way, I’m sure the Sox will enjoy destroying the Yanks this season.
What a crazy freakin’ night!

Superman!!! Yeah!
For those that don’t know I am a bit of a Superman nut. I have the pre-requsite t-shirt, but alse most everything else I can get including floor mats for my car! Anyway, you can understand my excitement when I saw this link on Leo Laporte’s Blog. Its called “Seinfeld and Superman”, and even though it is a thinly veild ad for American Express it is so freakin’ super sweet. Two of my favorites together! I wish I could save the videos to my computer though…I’ll figure that out eventually. (UPDATE: I got it, have the first one downloaded now…I’m so smart.)

You’re the real winner Mercedes!
And the winner is…
For the last few months my Tuesday nights have been occupied with watching my “guilty pleasure” reality show, (we all have one) America’s Top Model. For those that don’t watch, and actually have lives, unlike me…The show is about a group of girls that are competing to with a modeling contract with IMG. Boring right? Well there has been lots of fun watching this show. Why? Because, with the execption of a couple of the girls, they are all beautiful, crazy model-wanna-be’s! They get drunk, they talk massive amounts of shit on one another, they have orgies with random Italian guys and then cry when they have to tell their boyfriend what they did. I know! Its a great show.
Anyway, tonight was the final episode of the season and it was down to three chicks: Shandi (I didn’t like her), Mercedes (She has always been my favorite!), and Yoanna (She is the second best to Mercedes.). There was a first cut and off went Shandi (Thank god…I thought she was the front runner, but she is crazy and I don’t like her). Then came a “runway test” and I thought Mercedes was super hot on it…I thought she rocked it. Yoanna was great too, but she is no Mercedes. Unfortunally, I don’t have the qualifications to vote and Yoanna won. Fuck that. Hopefully Mercedes will keep going and show up somewhere becuase she is great.
Mercedes: Everyone (and by that I mean me, Mike) wishes you good luck in finding a place to be a model becuase you are awesome. You know…you could always be the Official Hell Yeah Bitch! .com Model! Click above if you read this Mercedes and want the job.
The real question is though: What the hell am I going to do with my Tuesday nights now after my show is over?
Technically, this site is breaking the law
You know the video I have on the media page of Charlie Brown dancing to Outkast? Well, technically, I think I’m in breach of law by still having it up. But until I get a notice, I’ll keep it up.
How did I notice this? I saw a peice about it on TechTV how the guys that made it, got a cease and desist order in the mail. Not only that, but check what I saw on ebaum’s world (a site that also posted the video, but is much bigger than mine so it attracted more attention.):

Wow, who the hell knew that little video would piss everyone off so much?
When science goes bad
I saw this on Gadgetopia this morning and I just thought: “Well I figured this would happen sooner or later.”
Even though I kinda saw this impending horrible idea, I still think we should kick this guy’s ass. (Just a suggestion.)
