Do you trust your senses?

After watching this optical illusion you'll trust them a little less......

Apparently the Rumors are True....

Now I've always been a Magnum man myself, so I can understand DC teens wanting the upgrade, but front page news?  This is hilarious.  Although I must confess I didn't know what the examiner was until I saw this.  Hit the jump for the actual article.  People's responses are hilarious.  You'd never think the masses would be so sensitive about condoms.

Pac-Man Turns 30 - Google Rules

Pac-Man turns 30 today.  Which makes me feel old as shit because I'm turning 31 in July.  That means I'm older than Pacman.  FML.

Google has updated their homepage as an homage to everyone's first favorite video game.

Its much more than just an image though!  Give it a few seconds and you can actually play.  I don't think there are many people who don't know how much I'm in love with google, or that I'm pretty much ready to sign my soul over to them, but this even impressed me.

I'll close with my favorite Pac-Man quote ever.  I'm sure if my parents had any idea this quote would have summed up most of my college years they never would have let me spend all those hours playing Pac-Man at Pizza Hut.


"If Pac-Man had affected us as kids, we'd all be running around in dark rooms, munching pills and listening to repetitive electronic music." - Marcus Brigstocke

F da police!

So this is two part blog about one thing.

An article in the Post had some great pictures about the riots in Greece right now that I wanted to share.  Way more if you click on the link...

These are great pictures of a terrible situation, and you should be upset seeing them.  

Except for the next one.  This last one is my FAVORITE:

I love this.  I love watching the cops take it from regular people.  Look at that kung-fu grip on his radio! This guy just shit his pants.  When I was younger I used to get in a lot of trouble.  I mean a lot.  I used to HATE the police.  If I got in a fight they would CSI on my ass and track me down in another state.  If a group of people broke into my parents house, damaged their property, and started a huge group brawl breaking someone's jaw (not a hypothetical) the police don't do shit.  They were willing to make sure the damage property was paid for, but not willing to file any charges.  I was always told that as I got older I would appreciate them.  The system.  The way it works to protect us.  Well, I don't.  I still hate them.  

As the great Lisa Simpson once said about the police when Marge was a cop:  
"Mom, I know your intentions are good, but aren't the police the protective force that maintains the status quo for the wealthy elite?  Don't you think we ought to attack the roots of social problems instead of jamming people into overcrowded prisons?"


Man I love the Simpsons!

And the Oscar goes too.....

The Oscar is the most coveted award in Hollywood.  Some, like Martin Scorcese, deserved an Oscar for 30 years before getting one.  Others, like Cuba Gooding Jr., have one one fall in their lap for lack of competition before blowing it with movies like Snow Dogs and Boat Trip.  I'm a Cuba fan. who didn't love Jerry Maguire?  But come one.  Click the Snow Dogs link and tell me he shouldn't have known better.

Anyway, I digress.  The Oscar is the most concrete form of validation hollywood offers.  Keep in mind its offering this to the most vapid and insecure people on the planet.  So they're in high demand.  Studios will do anything to try and score a little gold statuette.  They're instant cash cows.  I'd rather walk into a Jenny Craig meeting with a donut than try and defend an Academy Award from these jackals.  Honestly I think Jennifer Aniston would take one over Brad Pitt.  Not that she has a shot at either.

Someone has finally dissected oscar winning films and put together the perfect formula to win an Oscar. This is not an actual movie (though they did an amazing job with it and have fooled quite a few people).
