Mitchell and Webb: Football

Wacky Brits from That Mitchell and Webb Look are at it again. In this sketch, we see how some sports "fans" get idiotic and pretend that "we" applies to them and their chosen team. Brilliant!

Football, Football, Football!

WooHOOOOOOoooo! It's football season!

That's soccer for us Americans. The comedy team from That Mitchell and Webb Look (also of That Mitchell and Webb Sound) have done it again with a sendup of the non-stop, over the top adverts (that's advertisements for us Americans) for football (soccer). Cheers (enjoy)!

The Internet: NOT a Big Deal

I love it when someone goes out on a limb and makes a prediction. It shows boldness. I also love it when those predictions turn out to be thoroughly, utterly, and irredeemably false. I don't like it when it happens to me, of course...but when it happens to someone else, it's pretty funny.

In a February 1995 article, Newsweek writer Clifford Stoll predicted that the Internet would never really amount to anything. He scoffed at the so-called experts in the field, declaring in a fairly smug way that there's no way a series of tubes would amount to anything. Here's my favorite part:

Nicholas Negroponte, director of the MIT Media Lab, predicts that we'll soon buy books and newspapers straight over the Intenet. Uh, sure.

See? Funny. Read the entire article for yourself!

The Internet is a fad.

Dog Food at 1000 Frames per Second

The major difference between the broadcasts of the 2010 Olympics and the 2006 Olympics was the camera work. Nobody could fail to notice the high-resolution, super-slo-mo video of Apolo Anton Ohno, for example. It was featured every day.

That's one of the coolest things about living right now: cool tech. Whether you're a dog person or not, chances are good you'll be as transfixed by this video as I was. It's a commercial for Pedigree dog food, filmed at 1000 frames per second. It's awfully cool on YouTube...I can't imagine how awesome it would be on a large hi-def television. Have you seen this ad live? What do you think of it?
