Grand Canyon Flooding

March 10, 2008

 

This kinda water power beats the SHIT out of your Triton T90s. Hands. Down.

 

Four arcs of water unleashed from a dam coursed through the Grand Canyon on Wednesday in a flood meant to mimic the natural ones that used to nourish the ecosystem by spreading sediment.More than 300,000 gallons of water per second were released from Lake Powell above the dam near the Arizona-Utah border. That’s enough water to fill the Empire State Building in 20 minutes, said Interior Secretary Dirk Kempthorne.

Novelty Star Wars gear AXED!

March 10, 2008

leiaphones

Now bear in mind we’re talking about the 1980′s at some stage. Forget about your mp3 culture and your iWotsits! I rekcon you would be chuffed if you woke up christmas morning and had received a set of Leia Headphones!
Or how about an R2-D2 Slide projector for the more mature Star Wars buff! Timeless!

Our offices were decorated solid with Star Wars. It was always at the forefront of our minds. And then one day our CEO told us that Pepsi wanted us to pitch some ideas of what promotional merchandise they could do for Episode One.

Sadly they never made it on to the production lines at all and were doomed to spend the rest of light year eternity on paper!

You may or may not have heard about this on the Ray Darcy show on Today FM. This little doozy is down in Ballylinan in Co. Laois. Apparantly it’s been sat there for the past 2 years, hmmm

Could be worse, it could be some endangered tree, home of some rare purple squirrell…

Report ‘odd looking’ Photographers

March 5, 2008

This is a new campaign by the Metropoliton Police to clamp down on suspect terroist-like people parading around the streets of London and such taking photographs of security cameras and also people who have more than one phone, becuase don’t you know terrorists need to constantly stay in communication with each other, um wait wouldn’t the fact that they’d be wearing a turban give it away, but wouldn’t a terrorist be wearing sandals, robe and a dish-dash? What about business men in pinstripe suits and ties who have more than one phone but appear legit?

It seems to me like the UK is heading down the same fear factor road that the U.S. went a few years back, nothing like a good aul dose of FEAR and DEATH and BOMBING to make you wanna shop some innocent multi-phone carrying photographer. (what if they were taking a photo WITH their phone eh!)

Transcript from their recent radio spot to promote people’s awareness;

Female Voice over:
How d’you tell the difference between someone just video-ing crowded place and someone who’s checking it out for a terrorist attack?

How can you tell if someone’s buying unusual quantities of stuff for a good reason or if they’re planning to make a bomb?

What’s the difference between someone just hanging around and someone behaving suspiciously?

How can you tell if they’re a normal everyday person, or a terrorist?

Male voice over:
The answer is, you don’t have to.

If you call the confidential Anti-Terrorist Hotline on 0800 789 321, the specialist officers you speak to will analyse the information. They’ll decide if and how to follow it up.

Ben wonders: How much Cilit Bang would it REALLY take to actually construct some sort of bomb device…

Garfield MINUS Garfield

Who would have guessed that when you remove Garfield from the Garfield comic strips, the result is an even better comic about schizophrenia, bipolor disorder, and the empty desperation of modern life?

This guy removes Garfield from the cartoon and laughs uncontrollably at the restults.

Truth that people have more time on their hands than you would thing AND that the internet really is the home for sick sick people.

“Death Road” – La Paz, Bolivia

March 3, 2008

death

We’ve all been in the situation. Half asleep, just off a 7 hour flight and onto a coach that’s boiling and there’s a girl in a red Budget Travel suit at the top of the bus called Karen or Aoife and clinging on with one hand to the microphone and the other to the headrest of someones seat and the knuckles are turning white. And as you peek out the window your heart skips a beat as you realise how fast the “expert driver” is driving so close to what seems to be a verticle drop!

In La Pa, Bolivia there exists a stretch of road called erm, Death Road and it doesn’t get it’s name because people ‘oh my gawd just DIE from the terriffic views!”

400 a year. like lemmings.

The beautiful waterfalls easily draw the driver’s attention away from the 400m drops over the edge. Surprisingly, the majority of the traffic fatalities are a result of head-on collisions rather than falls. At the height of its infamy, Death Road averaged 400 deaths per year.

Rassuring really. Do you blame the idiot not paying attention when he died or the fucking nit wit who made such a road in the first place!

I wonder does holiday insurance cover the odd 170 pairs of underwear that were completely DESTROYED in the one minute of this footage!

The style of the decade huh! Yer wan is still a stunner!

This photo came from a collection of over 400 Polaroid photos of strippers trying out for dancing jobs at a So. Cal club. They were taken from the late 1960′s thru the early 1970′s. I bought the entire collection for $10.

Spongebob Squarepants Up Your Bum

February 24, 2008

spongebobrectal2 1

Cause everyone knows your kid will be more willing to shove a thermometer up their arse once they know it’s their favourite cartoon character!

Plays “SpongeBob SquarePants Theme” at the end of temperature taking

Fast, 9 seconds temperature read-out

Read-out in either Fahrenheit or Celsius

So it starts humming ‘sponge bob square pants’ while inserted…anyways..

But then again there’s some strange marketing going on in the sex toy industry too :-\
