Pre-pixelated

Funny, you wouldn't think "pre-pixelated" is even a real word, but it finds a perfect and comedically practical meaning in this line of clothing.

Hooray for...

The best product demonstration website ever.

And on a related note, the best news coverage about a serial killer ever.

(I suggest you avoid these links if you're at work).

Brown sugar, how come you taste so good?

Acceptance speeches

Wow, satirical humor in the New York Times. I kept double-checking the URL to make sure I wasn't really reading The Onion or a David Sedaris essay. Funny stuff.

Live action Simpsons

Here's a pretty detailed live action version of the Simpsons opening theme. Apparently produced by a British TV channel (which explains why it appears that Maggie is actually driving the car).

Jordan's 2nd generation

ESPN.com talks about a new commercial for Nike Air Jordans where kids perfectly replicate MJ's most famous moments. You can view the commercial there also.

A company trying to use a sports star's endorsement after he's retired? How absurd. (Actually, Nike does a pretty cool job with this. American Century? Eh, we'll see.)

Filled with humor

This may be funny only to a select audience, but I thought it was good. Yesterday, the gaming-themed webcomic Penny Arcade featured a strip which compared the games of Sony Online Entertainment to Krispy Kreme donuts filled with, uh, shit. (SOE is the maker of several well-known flops in the gaming world, including "Star Wars Galaxies", "The Matrix Online", etc.) All in all, it was a typically irreverent strip from the PA boys.

Later that morning, the Penny Arcade cartoonist received an email from John Smedley, President of Sony Online, saying "I've just sent you a package". A couple hours later, a truck arrives at the Penny Arcade office, delivering...1,200 freshly baked Krispy Kreme donuts. (Hit the link and scroll down for photos).
