BBC Hunting Backpack

I have so many mixed feelings about this bag. On one hand I admire how the BBC Hunting Backpack is a rather bold move in terms of implementing a very nontraditional print/pattern onto a backpack. It’s certainly one that is made to garner reactions out of people — good and bad — and also serve as an iconic item for the brand (I mean seriously, who else is gonna try and copy this?).

On the other hand however, I can’t help but think of just how insane this market is that this product can even exist. It’s ugly for the sake of being ugly and it’s priced at such a ridiculous price-point — $285 USD — that I leave the product page wondering why nobody else is making a big fuss over how much money BBC might be making on this single product alone (how much do you think it costs to produce this bag, all manufacturing processes considered?). This is a pretty standard bag at best (Oh wow, leather straps!!! Pssht, whatevs) and I have a hard time seeing the appeal this has to a particular group of consumers.

I have 4 free Netflix one-month trials to give away to 4 random readers who submit an outstanding joke via the comments below. One winning entry per IP/email address.

Netflix’s normal trial period lasts only 2 weeks and the codes I have allow you to get an entire month for free. A great deal for a great service. I’ve been a subscriber to Netflix for a long time and it’s currently the one service I pay for that I would have a hard time giving up. It’s addicting. Plus, there are tons of streaming movies available to watch ANYTIME.

So go ahead, tell me a funny joke below and maybe you’ll get a month of free movies from me courtesy of Netflix!

UPDATE: I forgot to say that comments can be submitted until Thursday @ 2PM EST. Sometime after that, I will choose 4 random comments below as the winners. If you win, you will be notified via email! Thank you! The jokes so far are very funny! :)

UPDATE #2: WINNERS ANNOUNCED BELOW!

Thank you all for the funny jokes! Here are the 4 winners, selected randomly via Random.org:

  • Clarence

I love this video for 3 reasons:

  1. Anna Marie dances in it (see another video of her here)
  2. The song is pretty damn clever
  3. The animation is great

And there’s a post as an ordered list. Haha.

This one’s good (from this post).

See tags for extra commentary by me.

The Dullest Blog In The World

December 10, 2008 @ 11:11 am

If Twitter users went into depth about their individual tweets (messages), then I suspect that the outcome of those messages would look like the posts on The Dullest Blog In The World. I cannot get over how funny the posts over at TDBITW are and how much funnier some of the comments seem. The use of the default Kubrick theme even pushes the dull flavor of this blog even further. A+ for non-effort.

Surely, this is a blog to follow! Thanks Flo!
