So, I was on my way home from public high school today, and I noticed a sign that I hadn’t seen before. Outside of some sort of insurance office, it said “FREE CHOCOLATE With Each Quote!” (there was strong emphasis on the “free” and particularly strong emphasis on the “chocolate”) I was immediately horrified. An insurance office bribing potential clients with chocolate? That’s disgusting.
That’s disgusting.
April 6, 2009YouTube, you asshole!
April 2, 2009Thanks to VLogmaster Philip DeFranco, I’ve learned a lot of things. Such as a Russian professor predicts the U.S. will fall apart in 2010 and, more recently, that YouTube’s being a jackass and will be putting interruptive ads into their videos. Here’s the buzz from businessinsider.com:
- The site will do away with current tabs “videos,” “channels” and “community” and replace them with four tabs: Movies, Music, Shows, and Videos.
- The first three tabs is supposed to feature premium content, though YouTube doesn’t have many licensing agreements yet.
- Videos in all four sections will feature in-stream, interruptive ads — just like Hulu.
- There will be a new player interface. It looks a lot like Hulu’s, marking on the timeline where ads will play and allowing users to “dim the lights.”
- The redesign will emphasize a divide between long-form premium content and the user-uploaded stuff.
- The launch has been delayed till April 16, possibly due to on-going negotiations with Disney.
That’s just great, isn’t it? You guys making ORIGINAL CONTENT all suck, according to YouTube. Now before I go into an Angry Aussie tirade (but, to Mr. Angry, you really must make a video about this) I’d like to say, I applaud YouTube trying to do something new. I really think YouTube could use a few more things, and it sounds like this will get rid of those pesky copyright violations that get our videos muted, but really YouTube??? You want to try to rub out the independent YouTubers, don’t you? You want to get rid of the guys that made Sockbaby, you want to flush Lex Friedman down the toilet, you want to stifle the filmmaking attempts of Southern Jedi Productions! YouTube! You asshole!

Benicio del Toro Facts, episode 1
April 1, 2009Who’s better than Chuck Norris??? Okay, yeah, a lot of people, but who’s the BEST better than Chuck Norris? That’s right, Benicio del Toro!!
Burke DeBoer presents…
BENICIO DEL TORO FACTS
1. Remember the show “Road House”? It was actually a biopic of Benicio del Toro. Patrick Swayze only got the part because Benicio del Toro didn’t want to be in a biopic of himself. Incidently, every single other one of his movies is a biopic of himself.
2.Che Guevara only overthrew Cuba because he hoped Benicio del Toro would play him in a movie about it.
3. The moon landing was filmed in a studio, starring Benicio del Toro as Buzz Aldrin. Ironically, Benicio del Toro spent 7 weeks on the moon getting in to character.
4. Benicio del Toro was every single Scooby Doo villain. They just never take off his backup mask.
5. Sean Penn originally cast Benicio del Toro to star in “Into the Wild”, but he got so into character he spent two years hitchhiking and died in Alaska.
6. Chuck Norris was going to audition for Benicio del Toro’s character in “Snatch”. Then Benicio del Toro kicked the shit out of him.
7. Benicio del Toro beat The Game. He thought about The Game and The Game ran away. (Director’s Commentary: You’d only get this if you play The Game. Start playing at: http://www.losethegame.com/)
8. Emilio Estevez once compared himself to Benicio del Toro. Why do you think you never see anything new from Emilio Estevez?
9. That Jesus guy was actually Benicio del Toro getting into character to star in “Passion of the Christ.” When Mel Gibson cast someone else, Benicio del Toro took over his brain and made him an anti-semite to ruin his career.
10.Every single Oscar for Lead Actor, Supporting Actor, Lead Actress and Supporting Actress ever awarded was actually awarded to Benicio del Toro, in character as the other actor.
11. Benicio del Toro is a good actor.
Well, that’s all I got so far. Feel free to think of your own, and post ‘em as a comment
