I heard about this on WNYC this morning. Many states and cities are outlawing fish pedicures for sanitary reasons. Looks like fun to me.

A bunch of random videos about the wonderful world of advertising.

Is it just me or does it seem that the wolf has something else on his mind other than his next meal?

This was taken at Toy-R-Us in East Hanover, NJ.

The Japanese definitely have much more “interesting” games on WiiWare than the US. In this one, you are basically a super buff, muscle guy who chases after someone who stole your hugh container of protein powder.  You must strike the right pose as you crash through walls.

Two people have mentioned Richard “Dick” Cheese to me in the past week so I guess I’ll post a video for those who haven’t heard him.

Reading his booking info page. It’s hilarious. My wedding reception would have been even more awesome if he was there. Oh wait, I missed my wedding’s cocktail hour because I forgot my pants at home. Long story.

Thundarr the Barbarian. Ookla is such a rip-off Chewbacca, but he’s still the best character. Thanks to Barry for digging this one up.

Adult Swim did an updated version called “Korgoth of Barbaria”. It never got greenlighted. Such as shame. Ultra-violent just like your Saturday morning cartoons should be.

I don’t read The Onion too much now, but I loved this article during the Gore vs. Bush election.

Nation Plunges Into Chaos

Also here’s my favorite headline:

Jenna Bush’s Federally Protected Wetlands Now Open For Public Drilling

This American Life did an interesting episode on how the staff picks the headlines each week called Tough Crowd.
