I make very little secret that I despise Charlie Sheen and ‘Two and a Half Men’ with a passion greater than the Pope has for Christ. So I am torn, because I am not normally the type of person that tramples on man’s… well… not grave… ummmm… tramples on a man’s hallucinogenic flying galactic unicorn.
Suffice it [...]
So I am told that 27 years ago today I was born into this world. I say “I am told”, because who knows if I can trust my parents… They lied to me about Santa and the Easter bunny for years.
This really isn’t a milsetone, but then again milestones are arbitrary anyway. If we [...]
As recommended by a friend and source of always different and enjoyable reading/viewing material, I recently started watching “True Blood”. For those of you that haven’t seen it, I will try not to issue too many spoilers, at least none that a pre-pubescent goth freak couldn’t grasp about 12.5 minutes into the first episode.
The [...]
Sometimes advertisers don’t seem to understand how things will look or read after they spend their 9-5 day creating the ads.
JD and Their Ducks
It’s very good that Jack Daniel’s would like to let us know about their expert quality controllers. I am sure they provide a lot of benefit to the end [...]
My Lonely Planet Guide for India (which was a God send of a book) had countless warnings about scams in India. Almost each city/section had special headings on the type and nature of scams in that region and spoke about how to spot them and avoid them. Aside from being a yet another fear mongering [...]
Today I show you some advertisements that came from marketing departments that are seemingly run by monkeys who are either 40 years older or younger than their target audience and/or have IQs in the single digits.
Is it McDonald's?
This ad advertises that mayonnaise and chicken “is McDonald’s”. Correct me if I am wrong, [...]
A few more day-to-day pictures:
Enjoying it while I can
The above comic was sent to me after my blog posts on Mr. Keen’s book about Internet media destroying society. The big-nosed guy on the right makes an interesting point, there will always be a need for writers no matter where we read our [...]
A recent bit of feedback from a friend and fellow blogger is that my posts lack a certain graphical appeal. I therefore have decided to introduce a recurring feature to this site where I use the power of my Blackberry’s camera to bring you interesting things I encounter on my day-to-day adventures.
Today’s edition is [...]
Natural selection is an interesting subject. I was thinking, many animals have developed all sorts of mechanisms to protect themselves or to detect other predators: camouflage skin, heightened smell, night sight etc.
But one thing I don’t understand is: Why the hell do they not change the way they taste? Think about it… if a [...]
I don’t usually tote things on my blog. I am not much of a toter… can you verbize the word tote? Is verbize a word? Anyway, grammar lessons aside, I just watched the movie “Stranger than Fiction”. Apparently this came out last year and was recently released on DVD. I had never heard of it, [...]
