The REAL BIKE HERO
•November 23, 2008 • Leave a Comment“What’s up, viral marketing douchebags?”
YouTube video response to Activision’s viral marketing Bike Hero.
“Bike Hero On Expert” shows the brand managers at Droga 5 how it’s done on the streets. Self described PRO GAMER Freddie Wong plays Dragonforce’s “Through the Fire and the Flames” on expert while riding a bike while wearing a metallic foil button-up.
Well, Activision, how does it feel?
That dude is now probably going to get hired to make viral videos.
No Doubt Return!
•November 23, 2008 • Leave a CommentMUSIC BUZZ: No Doubt has updated their official website with a little iChat animation simulating a conversation between the band — and for those of you who don’t feel like reading it — basically it says, they are coming back!
Here are a few awesome No Doubt tracks you have probably no doubt heard before:
Just A Girl:
No Doubt had phenomenal success with their follow up single “Just A Girl”, reaching #23 on the US Hot 100 and #3 on the Australian Charts.
This was the first single from the album “Tragic Kingdom”, An album that reached #1 virtually everywhere and was certified Diamond.
Trapped In A Box:
“Trapped In A Box” is No Doubt’s first ever single, but unfortunately received no airplay on either the radio, or TV.
It is however, great to see where they came from and how far they’ve come.
Don’t Speak:
Don’t Speak, the song that pretty much made No Doubt a household name and arguably the band’s most famous song. The song went #1 everywhere and was also nominated for a Grammy.
Spiderwebs:
Spiderwebs, a song about an unrelenting man calling a girl, reached #18 on the US 100, #16 in the UK, and #46 in Australia.
Hella Good:
Hella Good, the second single off the album “Rock Steady”. It peaked at #13 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart, #25 in Canada and it’s highest in Australia, at #8.
Simple Kind of Life:
Simple kind of life was the 3rd single from Return of Saturn. While it was the only release from this album that made it into the US Billboard Charts [#38], it didn’t do as well as previous releases overseas, reaching only #94 in Australia and #69 in the UK.
Still, for a song that was composed and recorded within a week, with no practice sessions, it is a great addition to an awesome album.
New:
The first single from their new album “Return of Saturn”, “New” was also featured in the movie “GO”.
Reached #7 on the modern rock chart in the US and #30 in the UK.
Bathwater:
Bathwater didn’t do to well in the charts, only hitting #79 in Australia, and #39 on the Adult Billboard charts. However, on the re-release in 2004 to correspond with their “best of” album, it reached #17 in the UK.
Bathwater was written in 10 minutes and it’s a song about accepting your lovers faults. The video features the Pussycat Dolls. The burlesque group, not the pop group.
Sunday Morning:
Sunday Morning was composed by Kanal, but Gwen then changed the lyrics to reflect on her relationship with him.
Excuse Me Mr.:
“Excuse Me Mr.” is the fourth single by rock band No Doubt from the album Tragic Kingdom. The music video was directed by Sophie Muller.
Ex-Girlfriend:
Ex-Girlfriend was orignally a slow song, but was sped up because they already had enough “slow songs” on the Album.
Written about Gwen’s relationship with Gavin Rossdale, her then boyfriend, now husband.
It’s My Life:
A cover version of “It’s My Life” (1984) by British synthpop band ‘Talk Talk,’ and it’s pretty good.
Underneath It All ft. Lady Saw:
The song features reggae production and guest vocals from deejay Lady Saw and won a Grammy Award for Best Pop Performance by a Duo or Group with Vocal at the 46th Grammy Awards.
So, have I made you a fan? Be honest now 😛
Two Face Kitty
•November 23, 2008 • Leave a CommentA kitten was born in Australia on Wednesday with two faces.
It’s kind-of cute in a weird mutated kind of way and made me wish all pets had more faces. But then I realized how expensive it would be to feed all those extra faces, and decided it wasn’t so awesome afer all.
The kitten ate out of just one mouth because of a cleft plate but both mouths meowed simultaneously.
The two-faced feline was one of three in a litter and appears to be doing well. It hasn’t got a name yet, but the owner is thinking of calling it Mr Men or Quasi Modo.
Yeah, Quasi Modo, that won’t fuck it up for life. You might as well saw off a couple legs and name it Cripples.
Proof Of The Coming Apocalypse?
UPDATE: The rare two-faced kitten born in Midvale on Wednesday, which captured the world’s attention, has died.
The Kitten, which was being kept at its owners home with its mother and two siblings, died late yesterday after getting fluid in its lungs.

Winning Is Everything
•November 23, 2008 • Leave a Comment
Danish Superliga team FC Copenhagen is regularly rewarded with a special bonus: a pair of porn movies for every game they win.
One of the club’s sponsors, sex movie distributors BN Agentur, have promised the squad two porn movies every time they win…
Copenhagen, known locally as FCK, screen the films at their training ground – although they refuse to reveal who gets to keep them afterwards.
Club chairman Flemming Ostergaard said: “As far as I am concerned, there is nothing wrong with it.”
That’s Europe for ya. Pornography doesn’t need to be watched alone for the purpose of masturbation. Why, sometimes it’s good to get aroused by hardcore sex while you’re surrounded by your teammates. It’s a good way to build camaraderie and forge the bonds of brotherhood. A big, gay brotherhood.

Fiery Meteorite Burns Up the Sky
•November 23, 2008 • 1 CommentThursday night, a meteorite fell in Western Canada, burning up as it hit the Earth’s atmosphere, creating a brilliant flash over Alberta and Saskatchewan. Witnesses got to experience the brightest fireball the country has seen in over a decade. Fortunately for us non-Canadians, several video cameras captured the meteorite’s luminous fall.
The video below shows the fall as captured by a police dashboard camera in Edmonton, Alberta. The next step is for astronomers to search the region for the meteorite fragments, which are billions of years old and valuable for study:
The meteorite appeared in the sky around 5pm MT, and Alan Hildebrand, a planetary scientist said it was probably the largest to land in Canada in 12 years. And the object’s entry into the Earth’s atmosphere created an impressive display. According to the Globe and Mail:
Hildebrand says the meteor could likely be seen up to 700 kilometres away, into the northern United States. It contained about a tenth of a kiloton of energy when it entered the earth’s atmosphere, equal to 100 tons of the chemical explosive TNT.
“It would be something like a billion-watt light bulb.”
Besides sonic boom sounds, he said witnesses also reported hearing hissing or crackling noises like frying bacon. Fireballs can act as radio transmitters, Mr. Hildebrand said, causing odd sounds.
