Tribute To John Lennon: I Met The Walrus [VIDEO]
08 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s been thirty years since John Lennon was murdered by a man who got a little bit too excited about his music for his own good, and for John’s, for that matter. In any event, we bring you a truly remarkable short film made in 2007 by a man who as a teen interviewed Lennon in his hotel room. It bears repeating on this infamous day.

Emma Stone: Still Attractive, Still A Shining Light In Otherwise Awful World
08 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
So this is sort of interesting – some photos have appeared of Emma Stone with her new blonde get-up, in preparation for the Gwen Stacey role in Spider-Man Whatever. What’s interesting is that a number of people have commented on how much she looks like a Steve Ditko character – Ditko being Spider-Man’s co-creator.

Julian Assange Is Worse Than The Klu Klux Klan
08 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
PayPal, the online payments service that recently bitched out and froze the account of Wikileaks, citing terms of use violations completely unrelated to the recent US diplomatic cables leaks, has some interesting clientelle that it hasn’t dropped yet – the KKK, for instance.

Over The Line, Period
07 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Those Scandinavians, darem. Not only do they have lovely fjords, now they’re also setting trends in the workplace. The latest management technique to come from Norway involves women wearing red armbands when it’s that time of the month. I kid you not.

Proverbial Wallets from John Kestner on Vimeo.
Robot Wallets
07 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Paying things with cards is weird for me. I mean obviously the convenience of having a plastic card that gets me stuff is great – I got to take advantage of the Threadless sale, for instance – but without that tangible sense of loss at having to fork over a wad of cash, there is the risk of going overboard is substantial. Folks at MIT have some ideas about that.

WikiLeaks’ Assange Arrested In The UK
07 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Well, well, well. I guess we’ll be seeing that insurance policy of his sooner rather than later. WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange has been nicked in London on charges of “sexual crimes”. The warrant was issued in Sweden. Look, sex, the Swedish, and foreign people almost always leads to confusion.

Well Played, Google Books
07 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s a Tuesday morning, so I can only assume you’re hung-over too. Right? Yeah, see, we understand each other. You don’t want to read anything too demanding right now. So how about an image that you’ll stare at for a couple of seconds before snorting, and saying ‘I see what you did there,’ before going on with your day?

Dead Hobo: Hero Of WW2
06 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
During World War 2, a dead tramp from London was shipped to Italy, given an elaborate backstory by Ian Fleming (of James Bond fame), dressed as a British soldier and supplied with fake British invasion plans. What I’m saying is he was a zombie spy. So as it happens, zombies have been du jour since the mid 1940s.

Fantastic Cash4Gold Scam
06 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Oh, internet. I love you. This little gem popped up over the weekend, and I thought you might like it. This guy repeatedly attempted to sell Cash4Gold ‘zip lock bag[s] of gold painted rocks,’ and eventually got an angry letter in response. Which he has framed. There are references to quadriplegic prostitutes. Click through for transcription.

You Don’t Need To Win The Lottery To Buy An Awesome Boat
03 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I may have rushed to get to the moral of the story with the headline there. I’m sorry. It’s just that I got so excited because the HMS Invincible is for sale! The Invincible is big enough to carry 22 aircraft (not included), and is available second-hand, previously owned by a lovely old lady who only took it to war on Sundays.

Lingerie, Wrestling, And Politics
02 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
It’s Thursday. Look at this video. It’s partially a rant on nanny-state politics, so you can watch it and act like you’re smart and politically engaged, and it also has footage of ladies in lingerie playing American football, which is relevant to the debate at hand, but also good for its own sake.

Make Your Parties More Exciting With The Magic Of Photoshop
02 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Holiday party photos are boring. imgur user Everet Hiller make them more fun with fake celebrities! “My wife and I have a holiday party every year and every year when I send out the photos I add famous people to the images,” he says. Which is great, because now I have a legitimate reason to look through a complete stranger’s holiday photos on the internet.

I Hope This Gets To You: Sending Love Letters Through The Blogosphere
01 Dec 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Generally we don’t like putting the words ‘love’ and ‘viral’ in the same sentence, because they’re usually followed with ‘should clear up after a round of penicillin.’ Thankfully, this online love-letter-video-thing isn’t the kind you need protection for; it’s a guy’s attempt at reaching his long-distance girlfriend virally over the internet.

Get Whipped
30 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
All I need to say about Varsity Blues is Ali Larter and whipped cream bikini. Yoh, even as a female I had trouble breathing. And we all know that it is just about every guy’s fantasy to have his lady do this for him. So laydezz, get this alcoholic version of whipped cream and makes things even more interesting.

Singapore Confirms That Banana Hammocks Are Undignified
30 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Singapore’s national water polo team is in a bit of trouble with the Ministry of Information, Communications and the Arts for their latest uniform design – which places the crescent moon and stars from the Singaporean flag right about where a crescent-moon-shaped part of the anatomy would be if they weren’t wearing anything.

So there you are shooting hoops with some buddies on a Friday afternoon and bam! Your elbow connects the face of the most powerful man on earth. Naturally you don’t own up but wait for the world’s media to catch on to the story and identify you with the help of the Secret Service.

Monday Morning Badvertising – This Time From France!
29 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 1 Comment
I don’t understand this. At all. I mean, I’m tempted to just leave this here and let you guys draw your own conclusions, but I feel like you’re owed some kind of explanation. Which is unfortunate, because I have nothing for you. Sexualized CGI animals. Using Orangina as a household product. In France.

Facebook Stalking: Even The Israeli Military Does It!
25 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Poor Israeli military. You’re like that lonely guy, going through a pretty girl’s photos to see if she really does have a boyfriend, like she said that one time at that club. Except replace ‘boyfriend’ with ‘Orthodox Jewish background,’ which is a way better excuse anyway.

Inventor Crossing UAE In Solar-Powered Wheelchair To Prove Some Kind Of Point
23 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 2 Comments
Inventor Haidar Taleb is hitting two birds with one stone, sort of, by crossing all seven United Arab Emirates in a solar powered wheelchair to promote the use of renewable energy and raise awareness about causes for disabilities. Also, he’s going alone. And you can’t drink in most of the Emirates. And it’ll take 11 days. Road trip!

Youtube’s Ad Of The Year Isn’t The Old Spice Guy
23 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Instead, it’s a video of some dude using a woman and a small child as a seatbelt. Or it’s about hugs. Or maybe they’re saying a woman and child will hug you if you drive a car in Sussex? I’m not totally sure, because the important thing to note here is that somehow this lost […]

Nicely Done: Blogger Deals With Sexy Airport Searches By Stripping [VIDEO]
22 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Fantastic. Self-described sex blogger, ‘Furrygirl,’ opted to go for a patdown instead of undergoing TSA scanning at a Seattle airport, citing health concerns about radiation; to protest the TSA’s super-invasive new procedures, she stripped down to sexy underwear prior to her interview, and videoblogged the whole thing. Mildly NSFW, but hey, it’s okay if it’s political. […]

The World’s Oldest Champagne And Beer Still Taste Pretty Okay
22 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Some weeks ago, Finnish divers discovered several crates of two-centuries-old champagne and beer from a sunken ship in the Baltic Sea for nearly two centuries. They then drank some of it because, hey, why not. And, because sharing is nice, Finnish authorities sponsored a public opening and tasting of the champagne last Friday.

19 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
When French photographer Sacha Goldberger found out his 91-year-old grandmother was suffering from depression, he did the most rational thing French photographer Sacha Goldberger could think of: he dressed his grandmother up in superhero outfits around town and took photos of her until she stopped being depressed.

‘Cowboys & Aliens’ Is Going To Make Cowboys and Harrison Ford Cool Again
18 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / 3 Comments
The teaser trailer for Cowboys & Aliens is out. The title may be a little worrisome for you, and maybe you’re afraid that, with Harrison Ford being there, this is going to be some sort of Morning-Glory-esque weep-fest starring Rachel McAdams. I put it to you that this movie is going to be the best thing in your life when it gets released.

Another Creepy Japanese Thing: Holographic Concerts
17 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
Hatsune Mikue is an apparently ‘realistic’ holographic singing idol, massively popular in Japan. ‘Sure,’ you might say to yourself, ‘I’m big in Japan too,’ to which I say shut up, that wasn’t funny when your dad said it thirty years ago either. A thing that isn’t real sold out a 25,000-person stadium. This is how the world ends – with hologram designed by a company called ‘Crypton Future Media.’

It’s Better To Be A Late Bloomer
17 Nov 2010 by Jasmine Stone / No Comments
You notice how that guy in your block of flats who hits the reefer regularly always seem a little mentally slower off the mark? Shockingly, a new study has revealed that smoking weed regularly lowers cognitive function, especially if you started smoking before you were 16. I think (the irony) I speak for all of us when I say we were all younger than 16 when we started smoking weed

“Snuff Will Reduce Your Physical And Sexual Performance
17 Nov 2010 by Seth Rotherham / No Comments
A big thumbs-down is what they’re giving it, on the cigarette-pack warnings found in Chile. It is interesting to note the contrast between them and the yanks, who have just introduced new warnings which show graphic imagery on their packs, comparing cigarettes to mainlining heroimn. The direct Google translation of the text, by the way, […]

Prince William proposed to his lady. She said yes. He will become king. She will become queen. Bid farewell to any hopes of a moderately normal life, Kate. Yours is all polo, stifled conversation, funny clothing and sex scandals from now on. On the up side, you will be living in a palace for the vast majority of it.
