While some Americans were feeling the heat of the recession this Christmas, it’s safe to say that the general holiday tradition is to “shop till you drop.”
Reverend Billy, the man who performed an exorcism on a credit card machine in a Victoria Secret store, can actually be seen preaching against the evil act of holiday shopping in this documentary titled ‘What Would Jesus Buy?’

(more…)You all remember the big hoohah at the turn of the Millennium right? You know, when some people thought the world was going to end due to the Y2K bug and computers everywhere failing to recognize the difference between 1999 and 2000.
That didn’t happen but now, nine years later, the Z2K9 bug has hit with vengeance, and everyone who owns 30Gb Microsoft Zunes are being hit hard. Apparently, overnight, Zunes everywhere have mysteriously frozen.

In the above video, one of the authors of the book “Flat Belly Diet” explains her new diet. Also included below are recipes for “sassy water” and the flat belly diet.

The two guys behind this video happen to think that they also came up with the idea of placing “Easter eggs” (aka secretly hiding reoccurring characters & objects in their movies) during this meeting too.
(more…)What are you doing for New Year’s? You’re probably either going out, braving the crowds, excessive charges, and lack of cabs, having a party, or staying in and being a miserable git.
If you’re going to a party then I really hope yours is better than this one, which shows the dangers of being a wholly uncool geek. If you are the company nerd then maybe let other people throw a bash.
(more…)Even though other senators are calling the move “unfair,” Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, the man previously accused of selling Obama’s Senate seat, has just appointed a replacement for Obama:
Roland Burris.
(more…)There is one song synonymous with New Year’s Eve and that is Auld Lang Syne. This video shows the song being sung along with the full Auld Lang Syne lyrics.
The song is performed by Dougie MacLean, and it’s a brilliantly thought-provoking and haunting version of the full and original song. But the best thing about it is having the lyrics on screen so you can sing along.
(more…)The Nintendo Wii was one of the most popular gifts this Christmas. But most of its recipients probably weren’t as happy as this kid. I warn you, you may want to turn the sound down a little for this video.
