The Great Office War - Runawaybox
by: Sarah

This has been massive on the internet over the past couple of days.  Runawaybox is a couple of YouTubers who get together and do hilarious short videos.  Some you may have seen are Happy Mother’s Day MILFs, I Guess You’ll Do and “Ooh Girl!” - An Honest R&B Song.

Check out their YouTube portal for more of their shorts.  Also, I’m not saying you have to check this out, but it’s a good idea.  Here are more office shorts at Man in the Box.

Seattle news report with tons of insight in the technology of the near future
by: Sarah

Wow, that is quite the video there. This reports on Chrysler’s offer to cap gas prices, which have skyrocketed to a whopping $3.63 in my area recently, to $2.99 a gallon. Of course they have their stipulations, but who doesn’t.

Microsoft has signed a world wide deal with Kia and Hyundai so their customers will have the ability to use voice commands to control a number of different features with the use of their in-car software. For already is in the contract with Microsoft, but theirs will expire in November.

T-mobile has already launched their 3G network in New York, but now they have announced that Seattle is the next lucky city to get their 4x faster download speed. The new network launch will take place this fall, so get ready you Seattleites.

I don’t know many Zune people, but there are some out there, and this should excite them. Microsoft Zune fans will soon have the ability to download popular t.v. shows directly to their Zune!! At $1.99 each you can get shows like South Park, Battle Star Galactica, Heroes and my favorite The Office.

Webby Awards took place and guess who are the winners! That is correct, buzz travels fast, but Colbert is the Webby Person of the Year for connecting to his fans using the Internet. Will.I.Am of the Black Eyed Peas won Webby Artist of the Year for his music video supporting Barack Obama. A few others are

Kobe Bryan jumps an Aston Martin, is fake
by: Sarah

Those who were shocked by Kobe Bryant and his ultimate jump over the beautiful Aston Martin, well… It isn’t true.  It’s just a Nike commercial, and a good one at that.  It has gotten so much hype that I must say, well done to Nike.  The marketing kids over at Nike actually did a good job, they took something outrageous, yet probable and posted it on YouTube.  Where the internet community took it viral within a short period of time.  Now, the longevity of this commercial, at least among the internet crowd, might dwindle as the weeks wear on.  But, it still is a good commercial.  Here is Kobe saying, “It’s Hollywood,” when asked how he did it.

Yahoo’s launch of Shine, their new baby for the female community
by: Sarah

Yahoo Shine
Shine.Yahoo.com

Yahoo has launched their new site Shine to a more targeted audience. Yahoo hopes to appeal to the approximately 40 million women ages 25 to 54 that use Yahoo monthly.

Yahoo thinks their categories will appeal to the masses, but when they touch on everything of course they don’t leave much room for anything else.

They cover Fashion and Beauty, for those who wish to remove the zits and the cellulite in one miracle cream. I hate to break it to your fat lazy ass, but eating bon-bons while you smoke a pack of Camel Lights does not help your cellulite issue. Get off your butt and do some work, jog or use the ellipticals you bought last year when you were hopeful, it doesn’t matter, working out is good for you, do it.

Healthy Living, because most people consult the internet before they ask a doctor what is right. Entertainment is another one of their categories since everyone needs to pry into the celebrities lives. Parenting goes along side the doctor thing, people would rather Google than ask their mother or mother-in-law. Love and Sex is a huge target group, women in general are either sad, happy, happy in love, in a bad relationship, having sex, loving sex, hating their sex lives and want better ones… so either way you turn, Love and Sex is the way to go. Work and Money, for those who want to make a quick buck, save their cash for that Bermuda trip or just hate their job. Food and At Home are a couple of goodies, I always like new recipes and ways to organize better, even if I don’t. Astrology is bogus, but people believe that and love it. Ah yes, Speak Up, one category that will actually be interesting. Speak Up is their community section, where people can voice their opinion, much like I do here.

Do The Green thing is back with going Easy On The Meat
by: Sarah

Dothegreenthing.com is back again with another of their shorts.  This was submitted by them on Youtube and passed along, so let’s do the green thing and save our planet from greenhouse gases.

Here is a little snippet from their “How to do” section for March’s green thing:

Put down your pork chop, surrender your sausage, and lay off the lamb shanks. This month’s Green Thing is all about going Easy On The Meat.

Now, meat may be tasty – in fact, it’s downright delicious, especially in pie format. But unfortunately it’s also responsible for massive emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse gases.

The way cows, pigs, sheep and even chickens are reared (no sniggering) uses lots of fossil fuels, creating lots of CO2. Farm animals also have a nasty habit of producing vast quantities of methane, as you’ll know if you’ve ever picnicked downwind of a cowherd.

Plus, eating all that meat doesn’t make you insanely healthy, we are omnivores so pick up a carrot every once in a while.  Also, the encourage you to record that you have “done it” on their site, so help them out there too.

I’m getting bored of Facebook
by: Sarah

I completely understand this song. It’s like we are on the same wavelength, maybe the same Facebook group? But seriously, who doesn’t hate logging in their Facebook only to see the 300 new application requests, or the crap-ton of pokes. Maybe I really am popular! haha no seriously, quit poking me it is getting creepy.

I am officially getting bored of Facebook, where is the next new social networking site? Who doesn’t miss the good old days when Facebook was strictly for those in college, where it required a college email before you could even dream of logging in.

Here is another funny Facebook video.

Justin’s fight with the Silpada freaks, take them out like zombies
by: Sarah

Over on AdChops, a sister site, there is a little war going on. Lia Sophia and Silpada lovers versus the rest of us. Now, this war has gotten a little out of hand but I am sure, along with Justin, that it is all in good fun. Either way, one thing lead to another and each of them were calling each other 500-pound beasts. Now that is funny right there, but these women decided that the only way to prove that is to send their pictures to Justin and have him judge their hotness.

Of course, Justin being the guy he is, he agreed and apparently has voted this Christy the hottest. You can go check out his blog to see at least one of the photos, and read the funny comments.

A little background history on the fight:

Justin, over on AdChops, wrote hilarious story a few months back, mixed with a little fantasy to make it more entertaining for the reader. His story is completely against Silpada Jewelery, but honestly, Silpada is gaudy and bulky. With his post being against the crowd, he has had over 160 comments of women fighting for the right to party! Silpada style.

Justin starts you out on his late night encounter with the Silpada crowd, 150 middle aged women in a bar and grill clinking around as they wave their hands with “Oh I have the best Silpada party story…” I completely understand his reaction, that would be and awfully frightening situation for a 30-something guy.

Silpada

For those in the dark, Silpada is a ‘hand crafted’ jewelry idea that was sparked between two middle-aged women with nothing better to do with their lives than eat bon-bons and plague the world with the word “Silpada-ish.”

The Silpada crowd is more towards the 20-something to 40-something (plus) crowd… I am only 20, and so I guess I am not exactly the target market, then again, neither is Justin. I’ll have to agree with Justin that Silpada is unattractive on women, “I mean Christ, look at the photos in my post - that one chick looks like she’s wearing the entire fucking Great Barrier Reef on her neck”

Go join the fight if you are in love with your neck-straining, back-breaking, wrist-snapping Silpada Jewelery.

Johnny Knoxville on Jimmy Kimmel Live after his injury
by: Sarah

The Johnny Knoxville injury is rather popular at the moment and I happened to stumble upon his Jimmy Kimmel Live spot. Here is the videos available, plus! it has real footage of his wreck. Major bonus!!

Knoxville was told not to let go of the bike, no matter what don’t let go. He let go and that is how he ended up this way. It’s funny to see his first attempt, which is also in the video clips, he fell off straight away before he even hit the ramp.

Good score for Knoxville even though he did get hurt. Lots of publicity involved and now the world has seen his princess bedazzled pee bag strapped to his ankle, that he kept for one more day just for Jimmy Kimmel.

The second clip talks about his new website JackassWorld and Steve-O’s rap album coming out soon.
