The Nation hopes to confuse book buyers looking for Sarah Palin

October 22, 2009 @ 2:28 am

Looking forward to Sarah Palin’s book called Going Rogue: An American Life on November 17th? If you’re buying in stores, be sure that you’re actually buying the right book because The Nation is placing copies of a very similar looking title called Going Rouge: Sarah Palin, An American Nightmare on the same shelves in hopes that some clueless buyer will pick up the wrong book. The unofficial book from The Nation is filled with essays bashing the former Alaska Governor and also pictures Sarah Palin on the cover (but in this photo she is shown in front of lightning and cloudy skies).

How to give your girlfriend a good scare in bed

Haha, this is such a great prank to pull on somebody. There’s nothing quite like waking up and being totally surprised at seeing a bearded man in bed next to you. Scary indeed! [via]

Food advertisements are going the way of CGI

McDonald’s Versus from Bruce Branit on Vimeo.

This is pretty darn realistic. I wonder if it’s cheaper to create food on the computer than to have a food stylist work hours to make it look perfect. I wonder which person would work less hours. [via]

Buzz Aldrin punching a conspiracy theorist in the face

July 20, 2009 @ 7:34 pm

This amuses me to no end and I applaud Buzz Aldrin for committing such an act against Bart Sibrel, the creator of at least 2 movies claiming the moon landings were faked.

You can’t really say that Buzz Aldrin’s actions were unprovoked. I mean, Bart Sibrel did harass the astronaut continuously outside of this hotel and even asked Buzz Aldrin to swear on the Bible that the moon landings were not faked. If I were Buzz Aldrin, the only thing I would have done differently was punch this guy much sooner.

Thanks AnimalNY!
