I just KNEW money & sex went hand-in-hand! Those dirty Dragons from TV show Dragons’ Den always did look a bit frisky, sitting there like a bunch of inflated pervy ego-puppets expelling hot air and smugness every time they opened their mouths. Dribbling money down themselves and playing with their balls and the dreams of idiots. So who better than Cassetteboy to make some hilarity at their expense – This. is. F’ing FANTASTIC!!!

We can all learn a great deal from fairy tales. I think the lesson is, if it’s been made into a Disney cartoon, then you can transfer the skills from that into real life. Like Beauty and the Beast for example. Don’t be afraid of bestiality, because if your human friends reject you as a freak and degenerate, at least the talking cutlery and tea pot will be your friend.

Ballet babes vs Street dancing sweeties in a classic dance-off! – Except these ballerinas have the grace of a trampled swan, and the street dancers don’t fair much better, but that’s kind of the point in this video by the Dawson Bros. Lack of coordination, inability to have the mere semblance of rhythm. They look like they’ve been choreographed by toddlers, twitching and spasmodic rather than any form or fluid movement. Basically the way most of us dance.

Introducing the ‘Boob-Apron’, it’s quite possibly the most heinous invention for the office-place since a 40hr week & 1hr lunchtime. Why the hell would anyone invent something to ruin a man’s happiness? This infomercial for the joy-killing CamiSecret gets a male point-of-view overdub explaining why only the most cold hearted killjoy chick would wear one of these dream-robbing funbag napkins. Wouldn’t the workplace be better if girls could see each other’s cleavage….and kiss? Place your order now and ruin the fun for everyone!

Working from home, it’s both a curse and a blessing. You get to lie in, not have to put up with nauseating or annoying colleagues. You don’t have the boss breathing down your neck, and you can check you emails in your underwear. But there’s a dark side too…

A side that’s little spoken of except in hushed tones in dark alleys or at self-help groups inside community centers while hugging fat hairy men. Like your cat constantly sitting on your laptop. And the crushing loneliness.

If you’ve ever worked from home you’ll understand this harrowing, distressing loneliness.

No one has summed up this ying/yang duality (the abundant freedom tempered by the sense of being forsaken) that comes from working from home quite like this brilliant comic by the ever-amazing Oatmeal. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry. You’ll be 5 minutes closer to the end of your day.

It all sounds SO good……………….BUT!

Now back to work you slackers.

Today was a very sad day indeed, it marked the day when whizz-kid Kevin Rose (an obsessive tea drinker, spends his time in between podcasting & climbing) finally unveiled his baby, Digg V4, complete with the new, next generation features. Don’t get me wrong, i LOVE Digg, or at least i ‘loved’ Digg, it came about at a time when myself and many like-minded people wanted/needed ’something’ new and along came Digg to satisfy our desires.

It was a definite case of ‘right product, right place, right time’, and i loved it! Within the first year it had so many ‘wannabe’ copy-cats that it showed for the first time on the interwebs that people wanted IN on a good thing, but they didn’t last and Digg outlived them all, evolving into the first real post-forum community that us early-adopters had ever seen, paving the way to a new buzz-word that within a few years, every account exec & company CEO involved with the web would be using, ‘Social Media’.

Digg grew & so did the community within it, it diversified onto other website platforms and grew even more, there was NO advertising, it was as near to purity as a commercial product could ever hope to achieve. Then along came Facebook, and since that, everything else in-between, up to twitter and they all had their place, market leaders in their own unique way, and Digg was right up there with them, cool, unique, desirable…Total WANT! it was an important part of my daily browsing schedule and i loved the features and how it all worked.

But business is business and all good things come to an end, and as we are told by people in power, ‘Change is GOOD!’….Maybe it is, maybe in this fast-moving internet generation i am no longer the user that Digg wants, an interwebs dinosaur, yesterdays news. It doesn’t really matter, all i know is that i’ll miss what Digg ‘used’ to be. I will not ponder the possibility of a conspiracy of why Mr. Rose’s co-director left the company 6 months ago and how Kevin is always going on about Twitter.

I will suppress the thought that Digg V4 looks like a bastard child of Twitter & Facebook, and keep those feelings to myself. All i know is that digg is no longer a unique product, it looks and behaves now like other platforms i use, it has in short become a sheep and joined the flock, no longer a leader, but now a follower.

Some people will love it, some will come to love it, and some will despise it like i do, it doesn’t matter, no one is right or wrong when it comes to their own personal opinion. all i know is that it no longer does what i need it to do :(

It’s one of those scenarios that we all love/dread to end up in, those first moments when you wake up in a strange bed with someone you know you have done the nasty with on that drunken night before. You open your eyes and pray-pray-pray that you will not be in a coyote ugly situation – However, this time we see it from a chicks point of view, and how the task of extracting yourself from the crime scene is no where near as easy as it is for a dude! Suffer biatch!

OMG, those mutant bubbles, they’re attacking those poor children who’re just trying to enjoy a day out at the beach! It’s hideous. HIDEOUS! It’s going to be a massacre! Ah no. No. It all seems to be pretty relaxed, those bubbles are the kids’ friends. That’s a relief. I thought it was going to be another one of those straight to DVD Mega-Bubbles vs. Miniature People, or something.

Watching this is the closest I’ll ever get to riding a bike, let alone doing it with such skill. Maybe it would’ve been funnier if he’d crashed into the crowd decapitating a bystander. Would’ve been gruesome though. I need to attach one of these cameras to my head when I go out drinking on a Friday night. I can never remember anything after midnight anyway, and then I get to watch the night back Saturday morning in HD. And find out what the heck happened.

It’s things like this that keep me from leaving the house and actually experiencing the real world – SERIOUSLY!! Instead I just watch videos about other people experiencing it. Hey, it works for me! This unlucky, hungover, & desperate for a crap climber gets his knee stuck in an off-width climb (now renamed ‘Boogie ’til You Poop’ in his honor), and hilarity and brutality ensues. Here we see the two dramatic ‘faeces’ of comedy & tragedy played out in full. Majestic.
