Sluts 'R' Us

This is not an April Fool's joke. Toys 'R' Us wants your precious, little, darling five-year-old girl to look like slut! How else can you explain them selling lower back tattoos in vending machines?

Can't wait for them to start marketing the Morning After Emergency Play Kit!

Shaving with Fingers

This could be the weirdest video I've ever seen on YouTube, and yet, I wish I could actually shave like this (it would make my morning so much easier). Happy 2008!

Rollin' with Bob Saget

I caught the Bob Saget comedy special That Ain't Right on TV last night and almost wet myself. How is the loser dad from Full House (and the even bigger loser host of America's Funniest Home Videos) so damn vulgar and funny? When he's not talking about having sex with animals, he's talking about having sex with the kids from Full House!

It's no wonder Jamie Kennedy wrote a rap song for him. Check out the video of Rollin' With Bob Saget below (which even has a cameo by George Lucas of all people).

Adobe Space Monkey

I get a ton of hits to the post My Mac has a Yak! (where I describe how to call Bruce the Wonder Yak in Final Cut Pro). It's a fun little easter egg to waste your time when you should be editing.

Now I've found something not so fun in Adobe Photoshop called the Adobe Space Monkey. All this is is a new About Photoshop screen but it's neat nonetheless.

If anyone knows of any other fun easter eggs post a comment or drop me a line.

Book Marketing 2.0

I shot an interview with Canadian author/artist Douglas Coupland yesterday for Webnation. I've been a fan of his for awhile (Microserfs is one of my favorite books) so it was great to meet and talk with him (Amber did the actual interview but the behind-the-scene chatter was a lot of fun).

In order to market his new book The Gum Thief (which is set in a Staples store), Random House has hired Crush Inc. to shoot videos depicting moments from the story. My favorite (below) uses the signs in a Staple store to show important events in the life of the main character. Is this now the norm for marketing books? Or does this only work for an author such as Coupland?

More videos can be found on the Douglas Coupland YouTube page.

Yum Yum Shampoo

I found this video while working on the latest episode of Webnation. It is weird. Very weird! It starts great with the Yum Yum Shampoo commercial but then takes a disturbing turn. Just watch it.

USB Tape Dispenser

Is a USB tape dispenser something we really need in our world? Yes, it acts as a USB hub - but what's the deal with the tape? It's crap like this that will be killing mother nature in the years to come.

Gummi Bears: The Movie

CollegeHumor.com have put together a great little trailer for Gummi Bears: The Movie. Yes it's fake (and I'm sure Disney will be asking them to remove it soon), but it is too funny not to post. Enjoy!

This model looks comfy!

The wearable Mitten Blanket from Hammacher Schelmmer is pretty silly (and for $69.95 US it is a rip-off), but I just can't stop laughing at the photo from the catalog (below). The model looks ridiculous wearing the blanket and holding a book with her mitten hands. Too funny.
