Vote for your favorite t-shirt referencing recent alleged police brutality!

Witness the power of the internet! These are all t-shirt designs that have popped up in that last week referencing this attention-whoring doofus. I didn’t search very hard for these at all, and even left out at least five that were just lame text.

The Enlightment Card - further proof of humanity’s increasing uselessness

From the Enlightment Card website:

Some people say money is evil…

We say “how” money is used determines the effect.

Welcome to the Enlightenment Card vision: a membership and a Visa Reward Card program. When you apply for our card, it automatically enrolls you into our free membership program that can be used for discounts on health-conscious stores, products, and services.

The Enlightenment Visa Reward Card was founded on the idea that money is energy and if used with positive and integrative intention, can have the power to affect change in our lives and the world. Everyone uses a credit card, so why not have one where people can earn points towards positive products and services that enhances their overall conscious life? Some of the categories of rewards you can earn points toward are: Travel, Retreats + Workshops, Yoga Classes, Organic Products, Holistic Spa Treatments, Books + DVD’s, Merchandise, or use your points to donate to a charity.

Man, wish I’d thought of this first! In the corner of my mind, I still think(hope? pray?) it might be a joke.

Bootleg Scarface…umm…art?

Here’s some especially classy Scarface memorabilia that I found at a dollar store. Notice the fine craftmanship on the plastic cap gun in the first piece. The serial number on the bill in the second piece is the original theatrical release date of December 9, 1983.

Jamie Foxx’s official statement on the Michael Vick situation.

“It’s a cultural thing, I think. Most brothers didn’t know that, you know. I used to see dogs fighting in the neighborhood all the time. I didn’t know that was Fed time. So, Mike probably just didn’t read his handbook on what not to do as a black star. I know that cruelty to animals is bad, but sometimes people shoot people and kill people and don’t get time. I think in this situation, he really didn’t know the extent of it, so I always give him the benefit of the doubt.”

Wow.

I would hope that the Black Star Handbook contains the same content that my Fat Bearded Blogger Handbook does… a single page that says “DON’T BE A DUMBASS.”

Google Street View for Houston

I discovered this on my own, but Google Street View added Houston about two weeks ago. Looking at some of the pics, it looks like they used lower resolution pictures(you can’t zoom in far and still retain clarity). Maybe to the privacy concerns that cropped up in other cities? Most of the areas covered are on freeways or downtown. The picture quality on pretty much everything I’ve looked up is so terrible, it’s almost useless.

The damned Landmark Greenway 3 sign that I had to change many many times. Looks like somebody finally wised up and stopped putting the titles on the side that no traffic will see.

The River Oaks 3 theater. Man, just about every shot looks pretty terrible. I see the sun shining…did they forget to clean the lens?

Fifteen hundred Philippino prisoners perform Michael Jackson’s Thriller

Well, that title just about says it all. This has got to be one of the most bizarre goddamn things I’ve ever seen.

Rock Band coming to Playstation 2

rockband-logo.jpg

Perhaps you’ve heard of the Guitar Hero, the Playstation 2 and Xbox 360 game that uses a guitar shaped controller. Its upcoming competitor, Rock Band, originally announced for just the next-gen systems Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 was just announced to now include Playstation 2 as one of it’s platforms. The difference in Rock Band is that it supports two guitar controllers, vocals, and a small drum kit all at once, hence the name. Guitar Hero has been an amazing hit, consistently staying at the top of the charts even after being out for more than a year, an almost unheard of feat in gaming. The sequels Guitar Hero II and Guitar Hero Encore: Rocks the 80’s have also done blockbuster sales.

I still think Guitar Hero will come out on top, with it’s more intricate songs and built in install base but Rock band coming to PS2 really complicate things, especially if it supports the Guitar Hero controller and Karaoke Revolution microphones. That way, someone who already has those just has to pick up the drum kit and they’re ready to go. Since the PS2, PS3, and 360 all have USB ports, they could conceivably have just a single version of the drums.

23 most interesting wardriving SSIDs

I’ve been working on getting my crappy 100 MHz laptop in internet-ready shape and I just got the wireless card working. So what does my nerdy ass do with this newfound technology? Fire up NetStumbler and laugh at all of the goofy SSIDs I come across while wardriving home from work. Remember, all of these are from when I was passing through neighborhood areas.

Turkish Billiards Master

Make sure to clear some time in your day to watch this 38 minute trick shot video starring Semith Sayginer, a professional three cushion billiards player from Turkey. A lot of these tricks are purely for show value, but many are seemingly mundane physics-bending legal shots for an already complicated version of billiards. It took me an hour to watch this, watching the tricks repeatedly just trying to wrap my mind around what just happened.

 

 

Wacky cell phone picture bonanza!

packelvis

Hello, packrat here(yup, that’s me up there.) I was cleaning out the image contents of my cell phone so you guys get the 6 most interesting pictures out of the 500 plus craptacular ones I took.

weenersign

Believe me, in the part of town I took this picture, this sign was an understatement. It was nothing more than a desperate cry pleading for sanity in that war-torn Kroger store.

ruskiecloth

I’m not sure what crazy moon language this is or what it means, but I sure as hell know that it’s not worth the dollar they were asking for it.

bearfluff

Much like Superman peanut butter, Popeye brand spinach, and Dennis The Menace’s unprecedented 30 year reign(1972-2002) as Dairy Queen’s spokestoon, here is yet another baffling licensed tie-in. I can only hope that it’s actually made from purified Care Bear excretions.

satancookie

I worked security at a haunted house attraction for extra money last Halloween and this giant “Hail Satan” cookie was for someone’s birthday. It was a very strange time in my life.

I thought my Methodist upbringing was fairly laid back until I went to a Catholic fall festival.

ymcabustoy

I can’t wait to see the other children’s toys based on 70’s disco songs that allude to anonymous sex!
