Stand By Me, Remixed

So, this video comes from metacafe.com, which always has tons of cool stuff like movie trailers and music videos. Actually though, I saw it first at Gizmodo, which also has a more extensive story behind the production of the song (and a slightly better quality video).

Slow Week

Sorry for the lack of posts, but there hasn't been much content available lately. And I'm sure as hell not going to come up with any of my own. Anyway, here's something from icanhascheezburger.com.

In Conversation Today...

...I heard the term, "Conversational diarrhettic." As in, when I'm talking to her, I feel the need to use the bathroom. I just thought I should share.

Bunny-Washing

I'm not going to say by whom, but I have been accused of fraudulently depicting a picture I posted. And before things get all out of hand, I want to come right out and say that in "Another Easter Come and Gone" the bunny is not crying. I know. Hard to believe.

I admit I was duped. After searching long and hard on the Internet, it turns out that the bunny is not in fact crying. Bunny is actually in a posture familiar to those of you who have seen the Karate Kid.
That's right. Bunny is about to open up serious a can of whoop-ass on some one. Probably a chipmunk. Seriously, it's on Snopes.

I'm sorry to have misled anyone. I'll do better fact-checking next time. I promise.

And for those of my readers who commented that perhaps Bunny was in some sort of face-washing posture, I looked that up on the Internet too. According to wikipedia, this is how bunnies are washed:
And this is how bunnies are dried:I hope that settles that.

Don't worry, buy happy: Cheerful stuff is selling well
Bruce Horovitz, USA TODAY

The economy's in the tank. Consumers have no spare cash. And the financial outlook is bleak. So, guess what the savviest consumer product makers are rolling out these days: happy stuff.

That's right, products that make folks smile.

Nowhere is the smile factor wider than at Frito-Lay's Cheetos division, which this week will nationally introduce a product the chipmaker bets will help a nation of recession-obsessed consumers lighten up and open their wallets: Cheetos the size of ping-pong balls.

"People are looking for anything to break the negativity," says Ann Mukherjee, marketing guru at Frito-Lay, which, at one point even considered — but junked the idea of — Cheetos the size of tennis balls.

Side note: I got this story from digg. I bring that up, because you'll notice, there's no mention of where the article was published, or when. I bring that up, because I'm kind of doubting its validity. There's no reference of the source anywhere on the Internet. The currency is in dollars instead of euros, and the writing is suspicious. That being said, whether it's fact or fiction, it's one hell of a story.

Something I Read Somewhere

I don't know why it's so, but I feel like I've been calling a lot of people stupid lately. Mind you, I'm not broadly calling everyone stupid; I'm not that cynical. I'm just identifying a lot of stupid individuals. Which is better somehow.

Woman to 911: Help! I'm locked inside my car

Amy L. Edwards | Sentinel Staff Writer

9:45 AM EDT, April 1, 2009

A 911 dispatcher had to tell a woman how to unlock her car on Sunday.

A woman called Kissimmee police to say she was locked inside her car at the Walgreen's on John Young Parkway near Poinciana.

"My car will not start. I'm locked inside my car," the unidentified woman said.

"Nothing electrical works. And it's getting very hot in here, and I'm not feeling well."

The dispatcher asked the woman if she was able to manually pull the lock up on the door.

The woman said she would try, and then, she said, "Yes, I got the door open."
