iPhone

I should really be doing some work right now, but how bad do i want an iPhone? Steve Jobs really pulled out the big guns for this year's Macworld Expo. He seemed really dedicated to stealing CES' thunder...and honestly, this is waaay more exciting than the 10,000 new 1080p tvs at CES anyway. I just wish I had (a) Cingular and (b) $500 burning a hole in my pocket. Holy cow! This shit is so fucking cool! I'm really turning into a flaming dork.

Nobody's business but the Turks'

Since I'm on YouTube, here are a couple of my favorite childhood memories (um, like you didn't think I've always been addicted to television?). Both are Tiny Toons/They Might be Giants clips, and both are amazingly great. My personal favorite was Istanbul, but Particle Man is cool too. (Also, watching it now as an adult, I wonder if Particle Man is supposed to be some sort of commentary on man's existential struggle or something like that...whatever, I'm not actually that much smarter than I was when I first saw it.) Watch both clips after the jump.

Lock the cashbox

So you know that commercial for some type of Samsung phone? I kind of love it. It's the one with those two sort of dorky guys who download "Rock the Casbah" to one of their phones, but don't know the words. The first guys thinks it's "Lock the Cashbox," but then the second guy corrects him and says it's "Stop the Catbox."

Yes, I know, this commercial is old, but the thing is, at first I thought it was hysterical. I mean, I still think it's pretty fucking funny, but now I can't see past this one flaw: they had to have known the name of the song in order to download it, right? And even if they didn't, the name shows up right there on the phone! Fucking clear as day: Rock the Casbah. I can't get over that. This makes me sad, because I used to really like that commercial.

See the commercial after the jump.
