You got to love it when people confuse a hippy protest at a Senate hearing for a good old fashion filthy strip club. I’m not completely positive what this protest is all about but I do know they totally spreading the word. When protesting something you really truly believe in everyone knows it’s important to [...]

If you think you’re saving the world by liking a page on Facebook, UNICEF Sweden has got some news for you — you’re not. Liking a page is a great way to keep informed about a charity or cause, but unless it’s part of a specific campaign, it doesn’t actually do much good. This starving [...]

Patton Oswalt’s filibuster on parks and recreation was not only hilarious but it was downright impressive. I’ve never watched parks and recreation before and after seeing this clip I now I feel guilty. This 8 minute rant about the plot of the new Star Wars film had me hooked.

This is either the smartest thing I have ever heard, or the dumbest. Here's the scenario: man puts up part of his face for auction. Highest bid reaches $15,000 and the winner gets to choose what facial tattoo the man will get. Easy money for a small price or huge mistake hardly worth the money?

Major Websites Mulling Blackout to Protest SOPA – Tech Tuesday

Big Rich — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 15:30:55 +0000

I'm sure there are many of you out there that don't know , what SOPA is. It's the Stop Online Piracy Act, and it's been proposed by some in Congress as a way to combat intellectual property theft. The reason why many oppose it, is because it was written by the lawyers of big Hollywood movie studios and recording companies that want to control how and where you can and can't as well as how much you pay for their music and movies.

Dru — Thu, 04 Aug 2011 23:40:47 +0000

Once again, the south retaliates against common sense when a government official demanded the removal of mints that poked fun at the President. Prepare yourself for some ranting. It’s just another case of insanity and asinine politics courtesy of Southern government in Tennessee. It seems a student from the University of Tennessee was offended by [...]

Bryen — Wed, 22 Dec 2010 18:28:56 +0000

I usually love all the things that Jib Jab does and while this year end parody is moderately funny, I could do without the puppets. They had a good thing with the way they used to do these – and you know the saying, “if it ain’t broke, dont’ fix it.” I don’t think ain’t [...]
