Swings on BART: consolation for shooting people

Just got mugged on BART? Swing it off!

Some merry prankster thought it was a good idea to install a swing on BART. Sure, it's all fun and games until a BART cop thinks the swinging is a threat and then shoots you twice in the back.

What a Baby Fetishist looks like

As if being single and pregnant didn't make her enough of a whore, this one goes looking for sex. Well, I say she gets what she deserves. If she's going to creep out men with her life-bearing belly, some man has to step up and creep her out.

Unicorns and Rainbows on ESPN.com

Go to this page and type in the Konami code on your keyboard:

up, up, down, down, left, right, left, right, B, A

Every time you type a key on that page after that, unicorns and rainbows and all sorts of sparkley magical things start to appear. That is either one queer programmer or one bored, non-malicious hacker.

For the Dartmouth kids: bragging rights.

Moray McLaren - We Got Time AKA Video is better than the Song

It's a half decent song, but the video is absolutely amazing. And all shot live, too, no editing other than carefully controlling the frames per second. Be sure to watch the "making of" video below, too. Last I checked it had more views than the actual video.

Here's the Making Of

No, I'm not friending you, Mom

A rather insightful visualization of the adoption curve for all things cool... as of late, that certainly includes social networks. They left out one step, though. Right before "no, I'm not friending you, mom," there needs to be a step labeled:

Muppet Scat, Daily Show influences Google Search

The Tuesday, April 14th show of the Daily Show was a good one as usual. However, he mentions that Google searching "muppet and scat" might not give you what you're expecting. Encouraging his million+ viewers to pause the tv and try it, he created his own reality as posts about his reference took over all of the results for muppet scat. A great bit about a recent pirate vs. navy seal spate follows.

Dominos Massive Cover Up.

So, a couple of lazy ass, illiterate Dominos employees make a video about half-ass attempts to taint (pun intended) an order for delivery.

Personally, I've seen better.

But then the President of Dominos puts out a poorly scripted (but applaudingly fast) corporate response

He sounds really distroughts, but this reaction sounds more than a little rediculous. Felonies? Sanitized? Talk about throwing poor little Conover under the bus. Now where will those fine residents go for their pizza?

I read an article that mentioned how this story has 11 links on a Google search of Dominos. Really, I thought the true crime was that there wasn't a single link to play a game of dominos.

2009 BYOBW This Sunday, April 12th at 4pm

The 9th Bring Your Own Big Wheel is coming whether the cops like it or not... and they may not this year. The event was moved from Lombard Street two years ago just because there were "hundreds and hundreds of people clogging the best known street in San Francisco for hours on Easter Sunday." It now takes place on Vermont Street, which is technically curvier than Lombard, but the po-po still aren't happy. They may give out tickets and whatnot... then again they may not... it is San Francisco.

This is but one more attempt to rain on our freak parade. I say get out there and ride no matter the consequences!

Bill Moyers Interviews William Black, Former Savings & Loan Regulator

I found this Bill Moyers interview by following a link in a fantastic Slate.com post about the pervasive corruption and collusion and greed that has led to this financial disastor. Conisdering the dry tone of the interview, this is one of the most engaging 30 mintues of tv I've seen in a while.

Favorite Quotes:

BILL MOYERS: But you're saying our system became a Ponzi scheme.

WILLIAM K. BLACK: Our system...

BILL MOYERS: Our financial system...

WILLIAM K. BLACK: Became a Ponzi scheme.

WILLIAM K. BLACK: ...we don't want to change the bankers, because if we do, if we put honest people in, who didn't cause the problem, their first job would be to find the scope of the problem. And that would destroy the cover up.

BILL MOYERS: The cover up?

WILLIAM K. BLACK: Sure. The cover up.

"It is not necessary to hope in order to persevere."

I mean, considering the sheer size and scope of the universe and how little we still know about it, it would surprise me if there were no alien life forms. I still don't completely get the rationale for covering up their existence, but I assume there's some crappy master plan behind it. Though honestly, the honus is kinda on them to make themselves known. If they really wanted everyone to know about them, they would go ahead and do it. That said, this is long but worth watching.
