Holy cow, Tails! That’s more alliteration than a hooker in Amsterdam!
Peep this fucking sweet Sonic The Hedgehog t-shirt. It’s Sonic and he’s squeezed into a box tighter than a Thai hooker. No, but really, it’s a promo t-shirt being handed out in Japan to promote the upcoming title Sonic Chronicles. Yeah, people got this shirt FOR FREE. Way jealous.
Some sad news is abound. The iPhone Dev Team, the peeps behind all the jailbreaking software you use, say that with the advent of the iPhone 3GS, an unlock IS available but Apple is bound to break it with a software update. Not only that, but the team goes on to say that Apple will eventually find a way to keep them out permanently. So get your paws on a 3G or 3GS, post haste, before you actually have to pay for software! God forbid!
Amazing. The Onion is reporting that Twitter creator Jack Dorsey had “never intended for it to be useful.” The report claims that Dorsey created the service for attention-starved idiots who have nothing else better to do. Without a doubt, it is the greatest description of Twitter.
Says Dorsey:
“Twitter was intended to be a way for vacant, self-absorbed egotists to share their most banal and idiotic thoughts with anyone pathetic enough to read them.”
He goes on to state that his latest project will be so useless, the Iranian people won’t even be able to use it. Additionally, Dorsey’s nose ring will hold a separate press conference next week.
Is this proof that time travel, indeed, exists? I want to believe, baby! Please tell me Marty McFly would never lie to me!
By the way, I think my brain just imploded.
So, this is why there weren’t more Richard Gere-esque rumors about Captain Kirk and those damn Tribbles.
It’s too bad this shirt is only for the ladies. I’d totally rock it like a crocodile. Grab yours for $20.
Who hasn’t dreamed of one day being a superhero? It’s one of those ambitions that you never lose as you transition from child to adult. When you’re a kid, you wear pajamas featuring your favorite superhero’s emblem. Some PJs even featured a cape for ultra-realism. Now, as adults, we can get somewhat of the same effect in a slightly matured style.
The Superhero Robers are available in Batman and Superman flavors. Depending on your superhero of choice, you to can pretend that you are out saving the streets, rather than just laying in bed and fantasizing.
So here’s the deal. Apparently, the Thai people really, really love pandas. They love pandas so much that they are willing to paint their national animal, the elephant, to look just like over-sized smelly versions of the cuddly bears.
Keepers of Thailand’s Ayutthaya Elephant Kraal threw some paint on five of these huge rodentphobic mammals and paraded them through the streets, much to the pleasure of the Thai school children. Some seen to think that the elephant keepers have gone a little too far. But I look at it this way, at least these elephants aren’t being processed for meat, skin and ivory. I think the elephants look pretty happy considering. More pics after the jump.
Imagine an army of ten grumpy old ladies, demanding you get off their very large and well-groomed lawn. Sounds like a fun way to spend my Friday night.
These days, when your Grandma isn’t indoors jamming on her Wii, she’s outside kicking some elderly ass on the soccer field. Just look at Mrs. Doubtfire. Grab your own Granny Mini-Foosball table for around $33.
Apparently, some people are still getting scammed into buying converter boxes, even as they are buying brand new digitally-correct LCD TVs. Sure, it’s fun to take advantage of old people every once in a while, but usually only when they are your Grandma and there’s a $20 bill on the line. Here’s testimonial from one such customer’s son-in-law:
They were buying a TV for a new RV and bought a DTV converter box. I told them after they got it that they shouldn’t need a converter because the TV (an LCD) was new. I unhooked the converter box and the TV found the new digital stations fine. They are in a poor reception area where they only get a couple of channels, but the digital ones were very clear.
They still don’t quite believe they don’t need the converter. I wonder how many people were over-sold the converter boxes. I did a fair amount of searching and couldn’t really find much (although there was a glut of general information) about what happens when a converter box is hooked to a new TV. I’m guessing it won’t work too great, but I’d like to see a more in depth analysis.
Either these salesmen are really uninformed or they are simply scamming old people into buying shit they don’t need, in hopes of a higher commission. Either way, get with the fucking program.
As most of you have surely heard thousands of times by now, the “King of Pop” Michael Jackson passed away at the age of 50 yesterday afternoon. While he’ll no doubt be remembered most for his musical career, legal troubles and bizarre facial reconstruction, MJ has his spot in geek culture as well. And rightfully so.
Many MJ fans who also happened to be stricken with the geek bug grew up playing the Michael Jackson video game “Moonwalker.” In fact, frenzied geek fans ravaged Twitter yesterday, demanding that SEGA re-release the game. SEGA has tastefully declined… for now. Read more about Jacko’s gadget innovation after the jump.
