A quick post today as I'm too busy laughing at this entry in boingboing to formulate any coherent thoughts. Basically, there is a sex education game available on some government website. The game itself takes the form of a Q&A where you "lose" if you get the answers wrong.
First off, the usual caveats. I haven't actually gone into the site itself and my comments here are based only on the article in boingboing. Having said that, there was enough content in the article itself to put me into fits of laughter. Without going into how effective such a juvenile seeming approach is going to be in targeting teens, I can't believe the design for the members of the squad.
First off, you have Captain Condom. From the graphic, it looks like the Captain is wearing a condom on his head. I guess that makes him a ....
Sorry, I couldn't complete the joke. It was just too obvious and such a cheap shot - even for me.
The second member of the squad is a buxom blonde called Wonder Vag. Despite the name, Wonder Vag is a virgin while Power Pap is the girl who is sexually active.
One last thing before I breakdown completely. If you get the answers wrong, you get treated to bukkake as the Sperminator (the bad guy with penises for arms!) hits the player with sperm who then comments "Argh, right in the face".

Lady GaGa
Another quick intermission before I go back to posting photos of the family.
I have to admit that I like listening to the music of Lady GaGa. On one level, this really surprises me as her most of her audience is probably ... well, lets just say I'm older than her target demographic and leave it there. Having said that, I have always liked fast beat pop music and her songs generally have really catchy beats so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised.
Anyway, one of her bigger hits is Poker Face for which you can find the music video on YouTube below.
And with that, we finally get to the point of this post.
A couple of days ago, I came across the latest hit viral video circulating on the interwebz. An A Capella group called Noteworthy from UCB Berkeley have done an absolutely fabulous rendition of Poker Face. If you have watched the above video, or enjoy the music of Lady GaGa yourself, the below video is definitely worth watching.
PS - if you find that you liked Poker Face, you might also want to check out Lady GaGa's newest hit Bad Romance.

Marvel vs Disney
Now here's a matchup that you might not have expected.
If you've been watching the news, then you will know that Disney acquired Marvel over the weekend. Which, potentially, is exciting news. I say potentially because the natural fear is that Disney will interfere with Marvel's operations and make Marvel too kid friendly.
However, if you know anything about Marvel, then you know that there really isn't anything to worry about. Even if I discount that Marvel has never been too risque, there is a separate Marvel Kids lineup which has kid friendly versions of all Marvel heros and villains anyway. Frankly, I doubt that even Disney could make them even more sugary. Besides, when you consider the history of Pixar, then you have pretty good evidence that Disney will probably let Marvel do its own thing without too much interference.
What has been great about the merger though is the creativity of the internet after the announcement. If you jump on Google or Flickr and search for "Marvel Disney mashup", you will find a veritable plethora of images, drawn by fans, imagining what would happen if Marvel characters merged with Disney characters - some of which are absolutely hilarious.
Despite the fact that I'm a huge Spidey fan, I have to say that the best one I've seen so far is by James Sheng here.
The juxtapositon of the Hulk, with his trademark grimace, and the silly Mickey Mouse hat is simply priceless. This image alone makes the merger worthwhile!

Literal music videos
Today's blog post is a bit of a video dump so I'd advise you to skip unless you have broadband (but really, who doesn't these days?).
Anyway, the genesis of today's post is the question - Ever wish songs just sang what was happening in the music video? DustoMcNeato on youtube posed this very question and to illustrate his answer, came up with the below incredibly awesome music video of Take On Me by A-Ha.
By the way, if you like the Darth Thriller clip at the end (and really, why wouldn't you?), you can find the full version by searching youtube for "Dancing With the Star Wars Stars 2008".
Since DustoMcNeato posted his first video (this was back in 2008), the literal music video has really taken off and is now an internet phenomenon. If you search youtube (or even Google) for literal music video, you get inundated with tons of hits. Unfortunately, not all of them are good as the majority of people just don't have good singing voices or don't have decent equipment to record the audio with.
So, being the good guy that I am, I have trawled through the cesspit to find the couple of gems that are worth you spending time to watch. Don't worry, you can thank me later.
:)
It probably goes without saying that you probably won't find this funny unless you have heard the original song.
Head over Heels by Tears for Fears - another 80's classic pop song in keeping with the theme.
Total Eclipse of the Heart by Bonnie Tyler - this is one of my favourite videos. It does drag a bit in the middle but picks up at the end. Overall, a great video with some hilarious lines and a decent voice.
Anything for Love by Meatloaf - dascottjr actually has several good videos. He was behind Total Eclipse of the Heart as well as this one. What's impressive is the quality of the singing - Meatloaf songs are generally quite hard to sing as Meatloaf has an impressive range to his voice which isn't always apparent until you try singing one of his songs.
Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chilli Peppers - not as funny as the other vids but worth including due to the quality of the singing.
Never gonna give you up by Rick Astley - the singing and lyrics are relatively poor in this one (its a measure of how bad the singing in some of these vids is that this wasn't bad enough to exclude). Having said that, now that you can literally rick roll people, how could I not include it?
Making Love out of Nothing at all by Air Supply - included because the missus is a fan of Air Supply (and because it has some funny lyrics)

Star Wars: Retold (by someone who hasn't seen it)
I know I'm showing how big a nerd I am here but I am truly astonished that there are people in the Western world who have never seen the original Star Wars trilogy. Having said that, if that were true, then we would have been denied the hilarity that is below:

How not to translate road signs
I'm back!!
After a brief hiatus from blogging, due to various reasons which I'll go into in a later post (maybe), I am now back in business.
However, after such a long gap, lets start with something simple to get me rolling. And what could be more simpler than a link to someone elses work!
The story speaks for itself really.

Sad
I have poked fun at how stupid Americans are many times over the course of this blog. For once, time to show the stupidity of some Brits!
Check out this link.
In brief, someone called 999 (emergency police services) regarding a "bright stationary object" in the sky. The police controller sent out a cop to investigate and the following is a transcript of what happens when the cop gets there.
Control: "Alpha Zulu 20, this object in the sky, did anyone have a look at it?"
Officer: "Yes, it's the moon. Over."
Sad.

Improv Everywhere
I'm not feeling very well so you'll have to do with a cheap link instead of a real blog post.
:p
Improv Everywhere are a group of pranksters (primarily in the US but they have a group of global participants as well). Their pranks generally operate by causing a variety of different scenes in public, the basic aim of which is to make passers-by think "what just happened?"
Not all of their stuff is funny. In fact, some of it would actually be pretty annoying. However, once in a while, they do something which is good enough and creative enough to make it all worthwhile.
Their latest stunt, the Food Court Musical, is one such example. Singing in public in itself isn't particularly creative. However, their ability to write a new song (which was reasonably entertaining) and integrate the actors so well into the audience brings a couple of real laugh out loud moments.
The video is well worth a watch if you can spare the 5 mins. While you're there, browse some of their other missions. The McDonalds Bathroom Attendant is another good one.

Many Americans too fat to commit suicide
This article is so hilarious that I just had to share it.
If you have never heard of it, The Onion is a fake news site which contains satirical articles on US culture. To be honest, I don't normally read The Onion. I don't know enough about the daily happenings in US to appreciate the humor in the articles there. However, this article is so well written that even though I don't know the background to the article, I still find it funny.
The best quote, about dieting, is at the end of the article: "If they mistake their all-but-meaningless improvement for a legitimate reason to live, their fat, revolting lives may be prolonged indefinitely."
:D
Maybe its simply a result of me being raised in Britain but I have always enjoyed sarcastic humor (and us Brits do sarcasm so well). I wonder - does this come through in my writing?

April Fools
As you all know, April Fool's Day was yesterday. In memory of this occasion, I thought it would be fun to make a post about April Fool's Day.
While wandering the net, I came across this list of April Fool's Day pranks. I haven't read all of the pranks yet (nor do I intend to). However, just off the top page, some of them show how incredibly naive some people are.
For example, in the no. 1 prank, the BBC show Panorama broadcast that Swiss farmers were having a bumper crop of spaghetti - this broadcast was accompanied by footage of farmers pulling spaghetti out of trees. Apparently, huge numbers of viewers were taken in. Yeah... Not much I can add to that really.
Whenever, I see pranks like the above, I always think, people nowadays are too smart to fall for something like that. I mean, that broadcast was in 1957 - probably at a time when people were less savvy and more gullible. Then I read prank no. 8.
In 1998, Burger King announced a new left handed whopper (for the 1 in 10 people who are left-handed). The left handed whopper would contain exactly the same ingredients - the only difference would be that the vegetables would be rotated 180 degrees to match left handed people. And again, the unwashed masses fell for it.
I wish I could say it was funny. Instead, it just seems sad.
