MSNBC Producer loses it on air.

Not sure how I missed it since I watch the network religiously, but a producer just absolutely loses it and you can hear him in the background.  Kudos to Contessa Brewer for not directly acknowledging it.

Terrible Towel Tribute..narrated by Myron Cope

Missed at MacWorld

Here’s a product that didn’t get a lot of attention at Macworld last week.  The Macbook Wheel.

BTW This is fake, in case you didn’t pick up on that.

Kudos goes to The Onion for the great production on the clip.

Also, Anyone else notice that consumer products today are no longer good enough the way they were initially meant to be and now warrant the need to add on words such as…Advanced, Super, Plus, 2000, and my all-time favorite….Extreme. I was sitting around watching TV the other day, and I saw a commercial for gym in Ohio claiming to be the most “ExTrEmE” gym around and I thought to myself, what constitutes Extreme? Are there varying degrees of Extremity? Are there any pre-requisites to be considered Extreme? Is there an annual fee? What about the benefits of being Extreme as opposed to being bland, normal, banal, blah, boring, dull, flat, flavorless, ho-hum, humdrum, insipid, milk-and-water, monotonous, nerdy, nothing, pablum, sapless, tame, tedious, unexciting, uninteresting, uninspiring, unstimulating, vanilla, vapid, and waterish. At first, these questions seem almost impossible answer, but after numerous long and grueling brainstorming sessions atop of the porcelain throne I’ve come to the conclusion that to be considered “Extreme,” you must either be an asshole, or wear faded jeans, which would also make you an asshole. Use this link for an explanation on why people who wear faded jeans are assholes. Right Guard Extreme sucks ass.

And to talk about bad luck: Just when I finally perfect the art of sleeping with my eyes open at work, a little snoring problem comes along and screws up everything.

Also, I found this great webcomic at XKCD, and I think it perfectly describes our society as a whole since the computer has become ever so much more prevalent in our lives and homes:  (Click it to go directly to the page for a larger version.)

The Olympics

Well, the Olympics are back and personally, I’m glad.  I’m also especially happy for the fact that they are in a time zone that is 13 hours ahead of me, so when I’m up all night until 4am, I’m watching all the events live.  It’s especially cool, when you go into work the next day and people are watching the re-runs of it during the day and I’m able to ruin it for them by telling them who places where before it ends.

And you know who else likes the Olympics?

George W. Bush

Oh well, at least he has good taste as he seems to have taken a liking to uber milf/pitcher Jenny Finch (she’s so dedicated, she married a MLB pitcher and their son’s name is Ace):

But seriously, he’s the President of the United States.  He knows that his picture will be taken continuously, so why does he set himself up so many times for all those wonderfully awkward shots.  Like these two:

And even better…

He’s got that weird pedophile stare/gaze going on.
