Fresh Prince and Carleton do it Tom Jones style.
This is brilliant. Someone is paying people to post flamestrikes against Robert Scoble over at Payperpost, and Scoble is all, like, bring it biotches!
Everyone else has cooler flamewars than me.
Payperpost continues its “hit campaign” on Scoble
As long as you guys keep linking to me I’m happy that someone is paying you to post. Heheheh!
Speaking of which, if you wanna get paid to blog there’s a lot better way to do THAT than get paid a few bucks to post. I know of a few companies right now hiring bloggers. I don’t even have to link to them. I bet that within a few minutes someone will post a link to the sites that are listing jobs for bloggers.
For everyone else: PayPerPost is paying people to link to me and make fun of me. Damn, why didn’t I think of that?
;-)
Fuck that. Why didn’t I???
from BoingBoing. This is the one and only time I’ll ever post Fox News video, fyi (unless I find something truly asinine to make fun of). But who doesn’t like to see shit get blown up?
although they are indeed well in the lead.
Here’s just one example of the categories:
STUPIDEST STATEMENT OF THE YEAR
* “No fruit loops!” – Ex-Dictator Saddam Hussein on his breakfast of choice while in jail.
* “They think work is a four-letter word.” – Senator Hillary Clinton, speaking about kids today.
* “I think they’re in the last throes, if you will, of the insurgency.” – Vice President Dick Cheney, on Iraq.
* “What do you think you’re looking at, sugar tits?” – Mel Gibson to female Sergeant in Malibu, California following his arrest for drunk driving.
* “My family and I are deeply sorry for all that Vice President Cheney and his family have had to go through this past week,” – Harry Whittington, after Dick Cheney shot him in the face. February 17, 2006
Seriously, with only one Democrat nominated (although that in several categories) it looks like this is one contest the Republicans can count on winning. Full list here, via Fark.
I posted this over at Scoble’s site, so I feel no hesitation about cross-posting it here, as there is zero crossover between our readerships. Every time I got cranky about Aussies (like the time six of them drank all the beer in the Bandas in 48 hours and we had to do without for a week till the Pelni ferry brought more) a single reference to Steve Irwin would calm me down. Any nation that can produce a man like that must have more going for it than I could even imagine.
Steve Irwin’s death is a great loss to the world. The sheer beauty of his enthusiasm for animals was inspiring to thousands of people, more than he ever intended or imagined. He was mobbed when he made appearances here in Canada, a fact which never failed to flabbergast him, but in this detached society we simply never get to see that kind of unreserved love; when we do, how can we help but be drawn to it?
I’ll never forget the time Steve was in Kalimantan, climbing trees with the endangered orangutans, and a mother gave him her baby to hold. He was thirty feet up a tree, but even in a long shot you could see his tears falling down like rain.
The man had a gift for not only feeling love, but for expressing that love before the world in a way that made us all around the world honour and share it, if only for a brief time.
And from CNN:
As fellow countrymen and fans from around the world mourned his death, it was announced that a state funeral for Irwin would be held if his family so chose, an Australian state premier said. “We will honor Steve Irwin in whatever way his family wants,” said Queensland Premier Peter Beattie, speaking to CNN affiliate Channel Seven.
