whassup won’t go away

I loved the Superfriends parody of the Whassup commercial, back when it was still cool to like the Whassup commercial. Thanks to Diane Duane, I am now aware of the Ultimate Whassup Collection. I couldn’t resist viewing the Star Wars parody. Pretty funny.

support magnetic ribbons

Support Magnetic Ribbons

Magnetic ribbons for cars are the new statement bumper stickers, but with the advantage of not leaving goo on your $65,000 Lexus LX. In the end, who benefits from this booming industry? Why, it’s the magnetic ribbon manufacturers! That’s why this is the only magnetic ribbon you need.

Update 2/9/05: My magnetic ribbon arrived yesterday and is now proudly displayed on my car.

punny

A friend sent me a list of the top ten puns in a so-called international contest.

A friend sent me a list of the top ten puns in a so-called international contest. Many of these I had seen before. The following is new to me, and made me giggle quite a bit:

These friars were behind on their belfry payments, so they opened up a small florist shop to raise funds. Since everyone liked to buy flowers from the men of God, a rival florist across town thought the competition was unfair. He asked the good fathers to close down, but they would not.He went back and begged the friars to close. They ignored him. So, the rival florist hired Hugh MacTaggart, the roughest and most vicious thug in town to “persuade” them to close. Hugh beat up the friars and trashed their store, saying he’d be back if they didn’t close up shop. Terrified, they did so, thereby proving that only Hugh can prevent florist friars.

hee-hee…

feeds to watch out for

From elation to depression in 2.5 seconds. Well, not really.

When I read that Jessamyn had helped Alison Bechdel set up an RSS feed for her Dykes to Watch Out For blog, I was very happy. I have the PlanetOut archive of the strip bookmarked and check it once a week or so, but to have the strip arrive via RSS would be much more functional. Sadly, my excitement turned to disappointment as I realized that the feed was for the blog, not the comic strip. And besides, it’s a Blogger blog, so it already has an Atom feed.

stupid American voters

“The pharmaceutical-drug and insurance industries are tickled pink. Guess who’s paying for it? You. Congratulations, moron. I’m John Kerry and I approved this message.”

This issue of The Onion has a satirical look at campaign ads that I think is hilarious.

A controversial 30-second TV spot for Kerry that aired throughout the Midwest Monday blamed the country’s ills not on Bush’s policies, but on the “sheer stupidity” of America’s voters.

“In the past four years, America’s national debt has reached an all-time high,” the ad’s narrator said. “And who’s responsible? You are. You’re sitting there eating a big bowl of Fritos, watching TV, and getting fatter as the country goes to hell. You ought to be ashamed of yourself.”

The sad thing is that it’s true.

diot coke

Bob Edwards manages to find interesting tidbits of news and trivia that somehow filter their way through my sleep-clouded mind. Yesterday morning, he reported on the first Diot Coke, born in 1379.

UPDATE 3/15/04: I have deleted comments attached to this entry, as well as turning off that option for this entry. The comments had quickly become personal attacks against me and others who had commented. It was clearly apparent from those commenting that they didn’t grasp the satirical nature of this piece. For those who are still scratching their heads, try replacing “Republican” with “homosexual” and the characteristics, etc.

Scientists in the current issue of the journal NURTURE announced the discovery that affiliation with the Republican Party is genetically determined. This caused uproar among traditionalists who believe it is a chosen lifestyle. Reports of the gene coding for political conservatism, discovered after a decades-long study of quintuplets in Orange County, CA, has sent shock waves through the medical, political, and golfing communities.
