Spot the photoshop!

I’m bored, so let’s play a game.  I’ll post three pictures of babies, and you guess which one is photoshopped.

Baby #1 - mutation of P53 gene causing pigmentation shift and altered aural organs

Baby #2 - the newest addition to the Langdale family

Let the games begin! Post your guess below, and whoever gets the correct answer will win many internets!

Beaten until he was sorry

aleqm5j5j-ymexbdyh_gj0ajjxxwd8ifsw
After showing Bush what the Iraqi people really think about him during the shoe-throwing incident that happened recently, Muntazer al-Zaidi (who looks disturbingly like Clifton — I think it’s the near-unibrow that does it personally) has stated that he is sorry for having misused his shoes as projectiles. Oops, sorry, that’s what I would have apologized for — evidently Zaidi apologized for throwing them specifically at Bush.

There’s some contention as to whether the injuries he sustained were only sustained during his being subdued at the press conference or while in custody afterward, but either way, it seems suspicious that someone driven to this kind of protest of Bush would suddenly have a change of heart and express his regret unless he was facing something other than inhumane and unjust punishment for what he did.

I am of the opinion that the punishment should fit the crime, personally.  While it isn’t a mark of a civilized man to throw something at heads of state, it certainly isn’t an act that merits beatings.  And I say this despite knowing personally the misguided fool who threw a pie at Jean Chretien, yet can’t find it in himself or his alleged “PEI Pie Brigade” to throw one at Harper.

Here’s Countdown’s mashup of the interweb tubes’ take on this one.

If you’re wondering whether the training-up of the new IT guy means I’ll have more time to blog again, well, the answer is yes.  Expect a LOT more of me over the next two weeks as well, as I have some vacation booked.  Time to reconnect with my peeps! (Psst — that means you.)

Update: MORE SHOES!

Fuck yeah!

Daily Show is always full of goodness, but John Oliver just absolutely BRINGS IT regarding the “industrial strength douchebags” putting together terror attacks in Mumbai. Skip to roughly 3:25 if you don’t care to hear about the Wal-Mart Consumerist Massacre of 2008.

“There have always been motherfuckers. There will always BE motherfuckers. But what we can’t do is let them control our motherfucking lives!” So bringeth John Oliver.

Oh, and Comedy Network? Get with the times and set it up so you can embed clips. Ultimately you drive traffic back to your site for minimal bandwidth costs. I’d have embedded from Comedy Central instead, considering they DO allow embedding, but they don’t allow Canucks on their servers, the ratfink bastards. You Comedy Network dudes are only getting a reprieve because I can at least connect to your servers.

Fuck yeah!

This is how you get interviews with Palin

Apparently, you have to have an accent and pretend to be a foreign head of state.

Some choice quotes:

Palin: “Thank you for spending a few minutes to talk toooo… meee!”

Fake Sarkozy: “We have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France – it’s called Marcelle the Guy with Bread Under his Armpit.”

Fake Sarkozy: “I love the documentary they made of your life – what’s it called, Nailin’ Palin?  It’s very edgy.”

After revealing the prank: “If one voice can change the world for Obama, one Viagra can change the world for McCain!”

Happy Talk like a Pirate Day!

Avast me hearties, it be International Talk like a Pirate Day.  My webhost still has me barred from making port in me own hometown, so I be sending this message by carrier parrot.  If they don’t end this embargo soon, we’ll chum the waters with their entrails, we will!  Arrr!

I have many chores this weekend, not the least of which will be getting these sumbitches from unbanning me before I take my business elsewhere.  I don’t know how much I’ll be able to post.  Apologies to those of you who were expecting actual content.  If you’re looking for something to do, research the Large Hadron Collider and decide whether or not the doomsayers have a case, visit Something Awful and try to start a new internet meme, or maybe donate some money to me toward a Chevy Volt.

One of you lubbers fetch me a grog!  Smartly now!

Happy Talk like a Pirate Day!

Papa Don’t Preach

This is just too funny.  For those of you who think Guitar Hero is too heathenistic, there’s Guitar Praise, wherein you get to rock out… FOR THE LORD.

How long do you guys think it’ll be before they get sued by either Electronic Arts, or Gibson (bear in mind there’s still a lawsuit going on where Gibson patented the idea of a guitar video game in 1999, despite never having even tried to make a prototype)?  And if they don’t get sued, is it because the companies are afraid of looking like they’re bashing religion?
