I have buckled to the pressure of the silent visitors. I feel bad about all of y'all checking in with nothing to see. I've been resting my bones before starting Operation Rebuild, courtesy of a gym membership. I'm gonna be broken down and sore after tomorrow. On the flipside, it's gonna be cold as shit, so what do I need to go outside for anyways?
The Bush In 30 Seconds winners [via Abstract Dynamics because I truthfully forgot about it after mentioning it last time]. I think the winning ad might be a little too subtle. I mean, I got it, but isn't the nature of ads to make something memorable to catch your attention in 30 seconds? I barely remember that thing, but I can tell you all about that Army of One commercial with the guy who came from the USSR as a teenager and joined the army because he wanted to be different. And that is a problem. (But, don't mind me. I'm just honing my future advertising/PR "it's gotta pop!" speak.)
Sent to me by Grandmastah H. Reminds me of this site. What can I say? I'm sometimes easily amused.
New York Magazine is running a Best of Manhattan...erm, so sorry, New York poll. [via MemeFirst whom I would vote for as a Best New York blog of some kind if wasn't for the reasons that they
themselves put forth.] I suppose there's The Bloggies if the list wasn't about 100 categories long. Does anyone else think that there should be some sort of regional competitions leading up to the big one, Best American Blog? I mean, that is just a major title to bestow on sites that you love, but truthfully might not translate as well somewhere else. BUT, if I were to vote, I'd be casting my ballots for Abstract Dynamics (not only because we went to the same HS), Negro Please (not only because he linked me up on his list -- surprising me -- and is supposed to be sending me a CD), Bad Samaritan (just because dammit, it's interesting), Feministe (ditto), Negrophile (again) and P6 (because I'm amazed at all the information he pulls together).
On the off the wall side of life, man duped by 'bride' with false breasts [via Sex News Daily]. Truth is indeed stranger than fiction.
And everyone should go enter this contest. Cold hard cash for being marginally creative. Oh, if one of you wins, I'll be charging a finder's fee.
