Worst Microsoft Ad ever...
Pretty much this is worse than 6 million puppies committing sepuku to the sound track of Britney Spears farting the German National Anthem. On speed.
To be honest its hard to believe it's serious.
But to give it meaning, whomever made it decided to fuck up and use an Apple Mac Notebook as the laptop the girl uses to impress her dad/client.

Lotsa Pop
Kieron Gillen's top 40 tracks of 2008:
http://gillen.cream.org/wordpress_html/?p=1675
For those confused and disturbed by Al posting about pop music (or at all), I'll quickly point out that Kieron Gillen, writer of the brilliant comic Phonogram, is the sort of cultural commentator with the right mix of enthusiasm, intelligence and humour to make me interested in stuff I wouldn't ordinarily care about. Even pop and dance music. Even if, after clicking the youtube links, I wind up hating most of the stuff he enthuses over. Anyway, go have a look, listen to some music and cast a wistful ear of memory over 2008, and maybe meet some tunes you've never heard but might like. Or hate. Go on, it's on me.
Then go read Phonogram, 'cause it's awesome.
For bonus points, tell me which two albums out of the 41 mentioned I own...
Also, Happy New Year!

Visage de Chimp
So i made a forum for the blog
for any shit you wanna stick up, from female form threads, political debates, to anal rampage, to your thoughts of the latest game you borrowed for free and hated and feel the need to express... ANYTHING!
See what youes think, its very rough and ready right now but everyone can be admins and change any shit they want. Not sure what people really wanna use it for so there's not really sections apart from a music one i made to see how it was done.
There IS a female form thread tho... which i'm told is wrong already!

Man I fucking hate religion.
Stumbled on this story on a Christian website....
*
A preacher and an atheistic barber were once walking through the city slums. Said the barber to the preacher: "This is why I cannot believe in a God of love. If God was as kind as you say, He would not permit all this poverty, disease, and squalor. He would not allow these poor bums to be addicted to dope and other character-destroying habits. No, I cannot believe in a God who permits these things."
The minister was silent until they met a man who was especially unkempt and filthy. His hair was hanging down his neck and he had a half-inch of stubble on his face. Said the minister: "You must not be a very good barber because you wouldn't permit a man like that to continue living in this neighborhood without a haircut and shave." Indignantly the barber answered: "Why blame me for that man's condition? I can't help it that he is like that. He has never come in my shop; I could fix him up and make him look like a gentleman!"
Giving the barber a penetrating look, the minister said: "Then don't blame God for allowing the people to continue in their evil ways, when He is constantly inviting them to come and be saved."
*
>Grumble Grumble Grumble< The Very fact the Barber does verbally tear the bullshitting Preacher a new one, taking his flimsy 'man if only these losers would LET god help them' argument has rankled and ruined me for the rest of the day!

Searching for the right to privacy
Google recently announced that they will be slashing thier retention policy to 9 months, and while it is not ideal it is a step in the right direction.
Yahoo have just delivered some devastating ground and pound in the privacy battle by announcing that they will anonymise user logs after 90 days.
No real details have been released yet, but hopefully this isn't just a PR stunt and they will do a good job of it.
One way or another, Brido will let you know!

How Michael Bay Does HORRROR!
"Alright Bay Team, Horror. Lets see what you've got...
Yeah scary kid, cool. Make him scarier... NO NO!
I said scarier, that means like a Dickensian kid. yeeeeeessssss... Okay put him in the reflection... Oooohhh scary.
But something's missing... Does she look scared enough to you...? >sigh< RETORHICAL! Bay does not ask for help! Weak weak weak.
No I'm missing SOMEthing...
No, I like the title, it's weird and scary, like maybe its about aborted foetuses returning to attack their drunken, hot, teen mothers that murdered them (by the way get me the script writers on the line)... No its not saying "BAY" to me.
...
Oh mikey, you've done it AGIAN.
get Michael Bay some HOT ASS.
...AWESOME."
The UNBORN
Al might be pleased to know that that ass is the ass of Odette Yustman from Cloverfield

Gears of War know how to advertise
So Gears of War 1 pretty much MADE 'Mad World' a hit some Christmases ago by using it really well in their ad(I have no idea if this is true but it sounds about right) and if you've caught the GOW 2 trailer they do a similar thing.
It works really well and at the very least catches your attention, and I only just got around to looking into the music
It's a band called DeVotchKa
Turns out they did the music to Little Miss Sunshine and have in fact been around for a wee while now.
Downloaded their album with the Gears song on it and it's awesome!
Been listening to it several times today, it's at times like a Mexican, Eastern European Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds mixed with Sigur Ros backing. On Crack! And Acid!
Well no. Not really. Sounds nothing like they're on crack. Or Acid. Sorry. Just sounded good.
But it's worth downin'... or, if you have "copyright sensitivity issues", buying!

Powder Blue trailer
looks interesting, Forest Whittaker, Ray Liotta, sweet music, and... wait a minute, is that copious amounts of Jessica Biel pole dancing and throwing water on herself...?
Plus while looking at the cast list i notice that not only does this film have all of the above but also Patrick Swayze (who doesn't appear to have a character name, Swayze playing Swayze?) AND a guy call YODA!
