Russian Investment Values Facebook at $10 Billion

Posted on 26. May, 2009 by Daniel Taylor in Internet

Man, who’d have thought that getting real time updates on what all your worthless, average idiot friends had for dinner, or seeing pictures of what other bourgeois morons they were hanging out with last weekend would be worth so much fucking money

Mosquitoe Magnet: Bug Death

Posted on 04. May, 2009 by spencer in Paid

Okay, whoever’s reading this who hates mosquitoes, please raise your hand. Let me get a count here…alright, even though very few of you actually just raised your hands, I can guarantee that no matter how much you ascribe to the live-and-let-live philosophy, when it comes to the mosquito debate you’re all on my side (and if you actually raised your hand just now I love you and want to marry you. No dudes, no pets thx.)
With Synthesis Blog’s obvious entomological knowledge (type “mosquito eater” into google. SEE!?), it’s [...]

Interesting piece on Slate today about YouTube, the supposed grand-champion of user-generated content, which is of course the basis of the Web 2.0 revolution. According to analysts best guesses, the site loses around half-a-billion dollars a year

Lulz of teh Day: Parents Television Council

Posted on 11. Mar, 2009 by Dallas VonKillbot in Idiocy

Google Trends managed to again spark up a great deal of humor in my life today as I traced back the current #17 trend, the Parents’ Television Council, back to their roots. The group is apparently is pissed off at Family Guy for such minor issues as showing a menially handicapped horse killing deaf kids, said horse licking Peter’s ass in his sleep and depicting Stewie knowingly eating horse sperm in his cereal… no big deal, right?!
Besides being mad at a show that clearly has a track record (not [...]

“I Married The Eiffel Tower”…

Posted on 09. Mar, 2009 by Dallas VonKillbot in Blog

Google’s Top Trends is pretty much a great way to figure out what the crazy people in our society are searching… mostly, it’s them looking for other crazies. As I brushed past the political banter at the top of the charts this morning, I picked up on a really odd search term: “The Woman Who Married the Eiffel Tower”. Apparently there’s about 40 people in the world that are both psychologically and physiologically attracted to objects. Yes, that means sexually too

Posted on 12. Feb, 2009 by Dallas VonKillbot in Blog, Crime, Idiocy, Lifestyle

Sorta…
Reports are coming in that Chris Brown might not even face charges on his violent attacks on Rihanna. This is a good amount of speculation, but comments have been made by the L.A. D.A. that back up the statements. Here’s the deal:
…during the argument, he started hitting her. According to the police report, she ordered him to drive her home and “faked a call” to someone, saying things like, “He’s dropping me off. Make sure the cops are there.”
Rihanna told cops the fake call enraged Brown. He said [...]

I Think Joaquin Phoenix Is On Drugs

Posted on 12. Feb, 2009 by Dallas VonKillbot in Film, Idiocy, Music

In case you haven’t heard the news recently, Joaquin Phoenix has claimed that he’s quitting acting and is bound for a career in rapping. There’s been a ton of speculation weather or not this is true or some elaborate hoax, both from the media and in Phoenix’s camp. Although he claims it’s 100% true, it’s not helping his case that he has Casey Affleck following him around with a film crew documenting the whole thing. Sounds a little fishy, yea?

After perplexing fans recently by announcing he was [...]

More Google Trends Lulz

Posted on 05. Feb, 2009 by Dallas VonKillbot in Blog

This one is a little tricky, with the outbreak of Miley Cyrus’ new picture mocking Asian people and all that jazz.  As I was cruising Google’s Hot Trends today, I noticed something kind of odd on the top side of the list.  “I am extremely terrified of Chinese people” popped up, which is either a a reference to the Hannah Montana of our the work of Anonymous.  Either way, it brought me some lulz.
