Fail: Gordon Brown makes election gaffe causing him to /facepalm

Posted in FAIL, Funny, News, Politics, Uncategorized on April 29th, 2010 by admin

Prime Minister Gordon Brown today, who is polling third behind his opponents in the election, called a female candidate a bigoted woman in private remarks which were recorded and played back to him on the BBC. He swiftly apologized but it’s sure to sting a little longer though his apology was accepted by his opponent.

Edit: I fail, the woman was just some random bigot who was out getting bread and milk. I read another story that claimed she was a candidate.

For television viewers, one of the day’s most excruciating moments came when a BBC Radio announcer told Brown that he had a tape recording of the private conversation and played it back for him. In what could become a defining image of the election, Brown, whose party is running third in most opinion polls, buried his head in his hands.

Lame: Google Won’t Allow Cursing On Nexus One Engraving

Posted in Uncategorized on January 6th, 2010 by admin

I started the ordering process for a new Nexus One phone from Google to find, to my chagrin, that Google won’t let me fight the power by engraving my enslavement device with the words “FUCK GOOGLE” (see screenshot below).

Lame: Chris Henry, Criminal, Scratch That – The Family Man

Posted in Uncategorized on November 8th, 2009 by admin

His trading card should just be a mugshot.

According to the Cincinnati Enquirer the Bengals wide-receiver is a famly man. Of course the readers said ‘not so fast’, in droves. Good thing the national media hasn’t forgotten that he was released after five arrests. Even a story today about his fresh broken arm references it.

Henry was a key part of the 2005 Bengals team that made the playoffs, but fell out of favor because of five arrests.

(via Bengals WR Henry breaks left forearm – NFL – Yahoo! Sports.)

But the Bengals took him back. I guess Bob Huggins is on their staff helping pick talent (and writing stories for the Enquirer?).

What is this a drawing of?

Posted in Kinda Lame, Photo, Uncategorized on October 3rd, 2009 by admin

What is this drawing?

Robot sperm? A swastika for schizophrenics? A clever commentary on race relations in Cincinnati? Schematics for a cold fusion reactor? The worst tic-tac-toe game ever? Connect the dots for a Parkinson’s crippled woman? The timeline of Michael Jackson’s skin color?

Nope, none of those… I was just bored waiting for my mom’s laptop to install Windows Vista Service Pack 2.

What is This?

Quick Post: Why HuffPo Matters

Posted in Uncategorized on June 29th, 2009 by admin

Today I received an e-mail from Air America Radio with the teaser:

Pitney-gate: Why Is Huffington Post Getting Called On At White House Pressers?

First I have to say it’s a teaser because I saw no mention of this story in the actual e-mail. Secondly, maybe it has something to do with the huge sum of money recently invested in the Huffington Post ($15 million!), money which didn’t come from the White House and the taxpayer.

Why not reward an American company that is out there doing it without asking for a bailout and a media company that isn’t about to go under? (see: American Newspapers) Now this isn’t the reason that Obama called on Pitney, it was because they knew he had a real question. But the above is just my 2 cents.

“How immoral! Accessing a partner’s flexible spending account to purchase prescription eyewear with pretax earnings is a right that should only be granted to those in religiously-sanctioned heterosexual relationships.”
