Guest appearances by Dwayne Wade, Chris Bosh, Delonte West, David Stern, Dan Gilbert, and Moondog.  Probably the greatest YouTube parody of all-time in my opinion. Enjoy…

Luke Russert, thank you.

I think the guy would have been smart to edit out his commentary before posting online.  Though, we all know “that guy” who calls out the finale.  Yahtzee – fast forward to the :40 ish second mark if you don’t have speakers:

Andy, thank you.

I imagine I’d react just as the home plate umpire did.

This should teach anyone to reach for a foul ball. Regardless, I think the dude is supposed to live…on a good note.

Video from the stands as fan gets carried out on a stretcher:

Thank you, The Big Lead.

NO WAY…she’s running for congress?!? I guess her supporter(s) put the ad together. Whatever – that doesn’t make it any better. And, she endorsed the ad at the end.

I want the south to secede NOW!

1st music award performance for Kanye since he made an ass out of himself in front of Taylor Swift/the world during the VMA awards. I’m sure a HQ version will come out on YouTube soon. In the interim, enjoy…

Oh, Maradona…you crazy SOB. Click thumbnail below a few times to see image details.

Maradona being Maradona:

How is he still alive/holding down a job? Love it!

As is noted here, Steve Jobs reads some of the email sent to him by Apple fans/haters and will occasionally respond.  After dropping a call from my living room – I normally have somewhat acceptable service in Michigan (unlike Chicago) – I finally had enough.  Here’s my email to Mr. Jobs…I could care less if he responds I just needed to vent.   Yes, most of my rant is stating the obvious…

Subject:

Yeah, yeah – everybody wants the iPhone on Verizon…so what?

Email:

Here’s what…

As you’re aware, Google’s Android OS is gaining traction per Q1 2010 research reports (and 6 relatives/friends of mine recently buying Android phones) because people desire smartphones.  If people desire smartphones and somehow find value in AT&T, the choice is easy – buy an iPhone.  Apple owns this demographic.

Apple also owns the demographic that wants the coolest technology which exists…yes, I’m an iPhone user and love it but can’t stand AT&T specifically in Chicago, (edit), and anywhere remotely rural such as Battle Creek, MI.

But, Apple’s reach is limited with your average run-of-the-mill consumer that wants a smartphone but has been turned off by AT&T.  This demographic is untapped by Apple and way larger than the aforementioned demographics combined. Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you know the “outrage” people have expressed towards AT&T.

So, want to grow Apple’s iPhone platform?  I don’t care how cool the next iPhone is, it simply can’t be done effectively via AT&T – that I guarantee you. Apple is going to have to open up the iPhone to other carriers or face permanently ranking 3rd behind RIM (slowly but surely fading) and Android.

P.S. Here’s the upcoming decision I’m seriously pondering – drop AT&T/iPhone and pay the early termination fee (recently renewed/upgraded but I can’t take AT&T’s service anymore), buy a new Android phone on Sprint/Verizon (though I despise Android), and purchase an iPad 3G.  Total cost = over $1,000 to have a decent phone and Apple technology – WTF? Yes, though I’ll still be somewhat reliant on AT&T for mobile internet connection, at least I won’t be dumping $100+ a month for horrible, horrible service.

Xavier, thank you.

Jeep (and their advertising firm) is onto something special here – I’m not quite sure I’ve seen a cooler commercial.

The ad is purposely controversial – mentioning cotton gins/colt revolvers as great American inventions, creepiness of the guy behind the clear shield, and calling the vehicle a “Son” – so, Jeep will undoubtedly get some free advertising from the MSM.

Transcript:

The things that make us Americans are the things we make. This has always been a nation of builders, craftsmen, men and women for whom straight stitches and clean welds were matters of personal pride. They made the skyscrapers and the cotton gins, colt revolvers, Jeep 4x4s. These things make us who we are.  As a people, we do well when we make good things and not so well when we don’t. The good news is – this can be put right. We just have to do it. And so we did. This – our newest Son – was imagined, drawn, carved, stamped, hued, and forged here in America. It is well made and it is designed to work. This was once a country where people made things – beautiful things – and so it is again. The new Jeep Grand Cherokee.

Dale Peterson is back!!! By now, everybody* has seen this…

Well, here’s the new Dale Peterson ad in support of John McMillan for Alabama Agriculture Commissioner. The encore doesn’t disappoint!

“Don’t you wish you had Dale Peterson watching your back?”

Dana, thank you.

*ok, everybody with internet access.

Classic…

Gordon, thank you.

Like Facebook before, Newsweek.com has decided to integrate some of The Konami Code into their webpage.

I’m a fan of The Konami Code. I’m indifferent towards zombies. I like the idea of integrating the code into a website…until every website/news organizations programs something similar.
