Well, it might not actually turn out to be a game involving actual doritos, but after the dismal product placement that Burger King had with the Xbox 360 I just see this ending up one of the most horrible public stunts ever.

Doritos justifies this atrocity by saying their product is an "Intense experience"

Now, I have never ate a dorito and said "Holy crap! That experience was so FREAKIN INTENSE!" unless you count the time I ate a whole bag of Fiery Habanero doritos and I didn't have a drink handy to quell the angry heat that was burning within my mouth. I have not done that since, for my friend offered me this bit of wisdom: "Why would you want to eat something that hurts you?"

Indeed.

Now, they do offer some pretty cool prizes for the people who win, but even if you won would you really want to make this game? and actually play it? No, you probably wouldn't, and lets be honest.....unless they make a surfing game where you ride on different flavors of Dorito's it's going to be the most awful thing ever. Don't think about stealing that because I've already submitted it as an idea to the contest.

Why would I participate in a contest which I abhor? Because it's got free stuff to give away and I'm all about free stuff yo. Plus, if I do win something I'll just sell it to get a Playstation 3.

It's from IMAO.

Probably one of the funniest and yet most accurate fake-ads that I have ever seen. If only I could actually get that little gem played on my TV stations around my area.

Turns out that a tape from 2000 shows Senator Clinton committing a few felonies regarding her 2000 senate run campaign.

Here's a little snippet from the story:

Microsoft Surface Technology Parody

It says "Parody" but it really isn't too far from the truth. Although totally cool the Surface is totally pointless if you don't have $10,000 to spend on it OR if no one else but you has one.

Must be what a Mac user feels like with all that limited user-base. You can visit the site of origin if you like Microsoft 360 humping Mac users with their massively slightly less user base.

Yes, it's true and it's called Warhammer Online.

Yep, the closed beta signups for the European and North American regions are underway and I recommend you sign up for the newsletter too. Why? Because it helps your chances to getting chosen for the CB. At least thats what the website says and since it's subject matter involves Warhammer I must believe it.

My very soul depends on it.

Oh, and if anyone makes a comment on here that claims such moronic things like "zomg! That looks like WoW!" or "More like World of Warhammer!"....well....then I cannot guarantee your safety.

Try these other MMO's out while your at it. Some are golden oldies (if you call 5 years old) but are still alot more fun than NOT playing them.

Sword of the New World
Ragnarok Online
Guild Wars
Final Fantasy XI
Flyff
Rappelz
RF Online

There are plenty of others, but you know....i'm lazy and I don't want to label them all.

New addition to the Blogroll. It's a Blaahg known as "That's Not Kanon: and is run by a friend of mine, Hidoshi. He's got info on anything, and I mean ANYTHING, Anime related. Gaming, Gundam stuff, Conventions...it's all there.

So, how about doing me, and Hidoshi, the favor of stopping by and checking out what he has going over there. He updates pretty darned regularly and I must admit, jealously, that his website is alot more prettier than mine.

Mike Gravel is one of those "funny" old people, but not in the Ha-Ha sense, but in the creepy, delirious, "did he escape from assisted living" funny. Now, I think that all of the democratic candidates are so filled with liberal bat-@#$% craziness that none of then have ANY hope of reform, but Gravel is just plain old-fashion, old-skool clinic crazy.

If you've seen any of his...uhh..."commercials" on Youtube then you have probably seen the weirdness first hand. The craziness continues below the fold.

Be warned though! This old guy does know how to throw rocks and start fires....something, im pretty sure of, that could get him put back in his old folks home.
more...

Looks like scientists have asked us to prepare for something that might actually happen.

Except this time it involves something that actually determines temperature on the planet Earth : The Sun. I guess that big ball of light in the sky carries more weight than we do after all....but it doesn't have an SUV so who knows where these crazy solar scientists get their denier info.

Well, not really so much against Elizabeth, but you can tell when she starts talking they are hoping that she doesn't join Star in trying to corner Michael Moore on why his movie is a piece of crap.

As for his comments on the "Socialized Medicine should be called Christianized Medicine" let me clarify what Star was going to say before she was cut off by Barbara and then mocked by Joy "The only thing funny about me is my face." Bahar.

Her point was that Christians support helping others, but it should be an act of charity and not forced legislation. People should help others in a time of need, but it should be their choice to do so. Christianity is the epicenter of individualism and in it's practices, aside from fellowship during church services, it is always completely personal and between that one individual and God.

So, to hear Michael Moore use Christianity as a means of pushing forwards his Communist/Socialist agenda it just infuriates me.

Holy crap!

After going reading the price of what that little gem of technology is going to cost people my wallet screamed for me to just go ahead and kill it. Good news though! I'm not gonna fork over the cash for that astronomically priced piece of innovation.

Why? Because it isn't that great. To clarify lets go ahead and look at what the iPhone is exactly. Well, for starts it's a phone and a pretty snazzy looking one at that, and it's pretty much an iPod. It does have that nifty multi-touch control scheme and it uses the new Mac OS X, but other than that what else can it do? Well, to put it simply....nothing.

The iPhone is nothing more than a fancy iPod that can make phone calls, and lets not forget that your pumping in almost $2000 for a product that hasn't been rated yet. Is it reliable? Will it continuously drop calls? Will I have to pay for updates to the OS?

None of those questions have ever been answered, but Apple still expects people to rush out and sign on that dotted line for something thats just what we already have just wrapped up in a new pretty case.

However, the iPhone has pretty much everyone convinced it's the messiah of communication, so we'll just have to wait and see what it's sales are. If it DOES sell extremely well then I'm going to start questioning every gamers complaint that the Playstation 3 is too expensive. Considering the PS3 is a machine that can do way more on it's own than the iPhone can (considering the PS3 is infinitely less than the iPhone when compared to purchase and fees) it just wouldn't make sense to me that consumers would sink money in to a pit such as the iPhone while claiming that the entertainment center that is the Playstation is undeserving of the same profitable treatment.

You know those nifty temperature recording stations that are used to tell us if Global Warming is actually happening of not? Well, This site points out some of the issues regarding the upkeep of some of these stations.

As it turns out many of these stations were placed in some of the weirdest of places. Some are near airport tarmacs where all that asphalt is AND some are being subjected to Jet blast. Some are hanging out near Air conditioning vents (which blow hot air outside and cold air inside) and some are found right on top of asphalt.

Government regulations state that they are supposed to be like...100 feet from or so from any building and are required to be away from machinery and asphalt. Looks like some of these stations aren't following regulations, but they still report those altered temperature readings anyways.

The site uses charts from these stations to show the temp increase related to each station and the ones exposed to all of those heat causing elements show much higher readings than ones that are left out away from all of the interferences.

I wonder what Gorebot and his government buddies pushing all this Global Warming nonsense would say if someone brought all this up to light in a conference, but who am I kidding....no one would ever call em on it anyways.

Thanks goes to Neal Boortz for the link.

This isn't really "zomg breaking!" news, but it is worth noting that AT&T is being a big ole douche-company lately.

Do I support corporate business? Yes. Do I support corporate business that uses contract loopholes as a means to force their business upon others? No.

AT&T has had a reputation lately for actively attacking it's competitors through, shall I say, less than desirable means. Example: AT&T has been pursuing areas which are primarily serviced by Comcast Cable, but instead of just offering their service at a reasonable price and letting their product do the selling they are instead pursuing legal action against Comcast and fellow cable providers claiming that Cable has been overpriced and has reached it's success through gouging customers.

AT&T is using the attack as a means of strangulating cable companies while promoting their own DSL and TV programming services. Many of their commercials aren't even hiding their goal at smearing their competition and using a type of vague mud-slinging to try and persuade customers away from Cable providers.

It's not illegal persay, but it is shallow and tactless. Now, they are doing the same thing with NASCAR and Nextel. AT&T knows that Nextel has a 10-year 700 million dollar contract with NASCAR, but they figured out that if they buy out a few companies perhaps they can weasel in a few promotions for themselves. Problem is....they can't really do that. The agreement was for -CINGULAR- and not AT&T, but because AT&T bought out Cingular they believe they can over-ride the grandfathering that NASCAR used to allow cingular to promote their product on Jeff Burton's car.

See? Legal loopholing seems so much fun!

It's identical to what they did with Bellsouth too. The Bellsouth market was primarily a phone company that was way way lower in the demographic as far as DSL and TV programming. Why? Because Cable is a superior service. I'm sure that's why I pay more, but as I stated above AT&T is using the buyout of Bellsouth to attack cable providers within those areas that dislike DSL service.

And so....it goes round and round again. instead of abiding by the rules and letting their product do the talking AT&T has asked the judicial branch of the government step in and try to handle things. That's probably why I don't have them for my phone service anymore.

Well, we already knew it but she's deciding that we didn't know it quite enough

Turns out that Mrs. Hot Body/Crazy Head was up for some interviews regarding the new film she is in titled "A Mighty Heart". The movie, ironically, is about Daniel Pearl who was a journalist who was beheaded back in 2002 Muslim terrorists. At the time Mr. Pearl was investigating the shoe bomber case and trying to follow the allegations that Al Qaeda had ties with the Pakitstani ISI.

I'm assuming that the point of that film is that this mans diligence to find the truth in any circumstance is the basis behind freedom of press. However, Ms. Jolie, who plays the part of Pearl's widow in the movie, decided she wanted to censor all of her interviews and then threaten the news outlets with legal action if they did not meet her demands.

She didn't get her interviews suffice to say.

Then, as if that wasn't enough, she wanted FOX news banned from covering any of the red carpet hooplah on the opening night of "A Mighty Heart". Yeah, that sure sounds like she's been all for that freedom of press thing. However, i'm sure that most people will let it go cause 1) Angelina Jolie is a beautiful woman 2) she has money and 3) She used to carry vials of blood around her neck, and anyone will tell you that you just don't mess with those kinds of people.

At least I think that's how it goes...anyways if there is one thing we can all agree one it's this: Angelina Jolie needs to shut up and just continue to make movies where she can take advantage of her one good asset -  Her figure.

Terrorists use Mexico to enter the US

At least that's what the story is alluding too. If the President really wishes to secure this country from invaders or terrorism, and he has constantly stood on television and assured us that does, then why hasn't he taken the steps nescessary to close down and secure the border with the use of a physical and virtual fence. We have the technology and we surely have the manpower here in the country (of legal citizens) to build the wall and secure out borders.

Come on "El Presidente" your base has already abandoned you, so why not just do something that will gain all that favor that you've lost from just about everyone. Here's an idea.....don't pass this bogus immigration bill.
