  • Same thing with baby milk ads. What, only women take care of kids? Men can’t make a simple bottle of milk? #
  • Why is it that ads portray only men as sports fans? Don’t women watch football too? #

Kissing With Ross Gives Me Nightmares

OK, so I clicked on the link and came to this site. Oh how I regretted it! :(

Stop it, Ross. Stop it!! STOP!!!!!!!!

If you have a phobia about men with lots of facial hair kissing you, I suggest you don’t click on the link. And no, it’s not David Schwimmer, a.k.a Ross from Friends. But it’s fast become a viral marketing campaign by Converse.

Fail Whale Ate My Balls, The T-Shirt


Everyone who’s been on Twitter these days must be sick of the all too regular downtimes. They’re probably even more sick of seeing the fail whale - the infamous cartoon whale that adorns the “I’m sorry but Twitter is dead again today” page.

People who have never Twittered, eg. your grandma, would probably not understand why a whale would fail at eating your balls.

Gay Robots Ratings


With all the buzz surrounding Wall-E, Radar Online decided to come up with a rating of how gay some of film’s robots are.

The Homometer ranks them from 0 for asexual to 10 for flaming.

This was what was written about C3P0 and R2D2:

PLACE OF ORIGIN: Star Wars

SEXUALITY: For closeted robots lacking upstanding role models in the media, C-3PO was a shining (and shiny) pioneer, and, as this magazine previously noted in its exploration of gayface: “The fussy drone’s permanently agog eyes suggest a certain feyness.”

As for R2? The dependable handy-droid might come off as genderless, but we detect in the high-pitched beeps a certain fondness for his gold-plated friend.

HOMOMETER RATING: 9

Wall-E only gets a rating of 4.

Some People Are Not Meant To Fire A Weapon

It’s been a while since I’ve had the pleasure of fondling a hot, well-oiled weapon at the shooting range. I remember going to the range was so much fun - you spend half the day eating and smoking and the other half shooting off a few rounds. Easy life, and if I was lucky, I’d get some money too. ;)

Sure the residual carbon in the barrel, firing pin and what not is a bitch to clean, and picking up empty shells scattered all over the range under the blazing afternoon sun was sucky, but it sure beats spending the whole day in some dusty barrack.

Some of the guys didn’t enjoy range as much though. There was one guy who was actually scared shitless of firing his weapon. It was so bad for him that his hands were actually shaking whenever he took aim. As a result, almost always he’d end up failing his classification shoot. Whatever phobia he’s going through, it’s quite understandable. Guns aren’t for everyone.

Especially the people in this video. OMG! The number of misfired and mishandled weapons! I’m just surprised no one got killed by a self-inflicted gunshot wound, especially the woman who fired the Dessert Eagle. That’s a .50 calibre weapon, madam! Not a toy! Still pretty funny how the gun nearly konks her on the head as a result of the recoil and poor handling of the gun.
