Stoli v. Sweetarts
Wonka's Sweetarts at some point started putting just the "S" on their delicious sour candies instead of the usual full "sweetarts" name. This was an interesting choice because someone else uses the same "S" to promote their product, except this other someone doesn't make candy for kids.
Looks like Wonka's in the Vodka business now. "Tart, Sweet, & Shameless" same line, Stoli Orange.

Play me a Pong Dance
Some fun person decided that playing pong was a lame 2d venture that assured no real human interaction; mostly cause you play the computer in Pong and you may think it loves you, but it doesn't. Now you can strap on what seems to be a full body LaserTag uniform and play Pong as a slow dance.

Lego + Star Wars (best ever)
So for some reason this year has been the year where Legos and Star Wars appear everywhere together. No doubt because of the massive success of the Lego Star Wars Video Game. It just makes sense that us nerdy people would be "born to build" and be filled with the "force". Here are a few items that are a must have if you are one of those nerdy people.
Lego At-At (that actually moves)

Uncle Milton's Force Trainer
Sure we all want to be a Jedi, but this holiday gift has two things wrong with it. One, you should never do anything made by "Uncle" Milton that requires you to move balls, even if it is with your mind. Two, you don't really need to buy this cause you already can easily DYI it at home. It's simple: go into your mom's bedroom take her "magic" adult pipe and beer pong ball, steel the minifan out of your blogging sisters Mac, then take that blue tooth headset from the new douchbag your mom is asking you to call "dad", and blamo! you've got your own force training right their. Plus, you'll get extra defense training when your mom and sister find out what you did to get that fan out of that 3k Mac Pro.

Texas Elects a Major who is ok with being Gay
Houston Texas, a city in a state know for being anti-gay, elected an openly gay person as their mayor. This is a huge step forward since the last thing TX did was to give us George Bush. If Texas wants to redeem itself from the GW error, it's gotta have to do alot more; Texas should consider changing it's state motto from the "lone star state" to the "rainbow state". One can only hope.

US Senate Age vs. New Medicare Age
In light of the death of the public option and the birth of a new age for medicare, a comparison was needed.
Of course Tax payers already pay for every Senators Health Care, but we don't pay for their friends. Only 8 members of the US senate will be under the age of 55 by the time this bill becomes law. The median age of the US senate is currently 62, I am sure most of their friends are close to that age. Thanks Senate for not providing healthcare for your friends and not the majority of Americans. Jerks!
Keep in mind that people 55 in up deserve healthcare, but we all do.

Remember Friendster
So before facebook, myspace, and even twitter there was this thing called friendster. It was kinda like facebook, but only college kids used it. Well it's back with a whole new look and an adaptation that makes it exactly like all the other social networks out there.
Here's the new login page:
Notice the new logo, which is, according to Friendster, "Crafted from a single line and ending in a Friendster smile, it represents what the brand is all about – fun, creativity, friendship and a personalized experience."
In addition to the new logo Friendster now offers: Easier to Find and Share , More Fun – "The experience is more fun & colorful", Faster Photos, Better Comments, New Shoutout Stream, More Customization, & a New Gift Shop.
Wait a gift shop...what the hell is that? The Gift Shop is where you can get stuff like this:
Friendster gives you points to start, but it looks like you might have to pay for this kinda stuff in the future, kinda unclear.
Anyway, it's great that Friendster changed their logo and their site, just wish they could stop all the "hot chicks" that all have the same pic, but different names from contacting you every five seconds.

Mac and Me 2
So back in the 80's there was this movie that was like ET, but totally not. The movie had a lost long fingered alien who finds a small boy to be his friend and protector. The movie was just silly and had no barring on reality even when compared to a kid flying over the moon on his bicycle. This travesty was called Mac and Me. (intro by Ronald McDonald)
So because it was so bad, one would think that Mac and Me would never be heard from again. Well, some filmmakers must of run out of movies from 90's to reinvent and gone for the old VHS tapes. After smoking a bowl they came up with Planet 51. A story about aliens that look exactly like Mac from Mac and Me, but this time the human alien rolls are reversed.
They even stole the alien from Alien to be the family dog.
Dang it movie makers...come up with something new. Ahhhh!

Records are Flyin' with Rhea Jeong
Got Old Records? Rhea Jeong will make them fly and no, not like in Shaun of the Dead, with that part where they throw things at that Zombie girl.
Rhea Jeong has made this interesting piece that supposedly works. He's not selling it yet, but he will, and you'll buy it cause you just want to play the theme from The Greatest American Hero on it.
According to Rhea Jeong's site the record player doesn't use magic, it uses "magnetic and auto-calibrating control system" to make the LP fly. The little red ball that looks like it's just glued there, does a whole lot; it has a needle to play the record, acts as a amplifier and speaker, oh!, and it rolls around in a circle on the record to follow the tracks.
See the rest of Rhea Jeong's work here.

Stay-On Tab, not worth weight in Gold
(photo from the Library of Virginia)When we were young there use to be these things called Aluminum cans that were produced so beer and other soda makers could easily distribute their elixirs to consumers. A top these cans sat a device called a "stay-on tab" that was used to open said aluminum can for consumption. This tab, designed by Dan Cudzik and introduced by the Falls City Brewing Company in 1975, has had a good life. It did it purpose, which was to open aluminum cans without cutting the hell out of your mouth. Now sometimes teenagers would remove the "stay-on tab", tie a sting to it, and wear it around their neck; which was fine. Many people even still do this practice, which is fine.
What is not fine is this...
...A 14k Gold can tab by 'designers' Alex and Chloe. Come on, it's a tab from a can. Why? You know there are other things that need to be designed out there. Such as: more logical clothing, jewlery that reminds you when your anniversary is, and energy efficient cars. Why take something that's out there, make it/dip it in gold, and call it a new designed piece? You want consumers to pay $410? Just ask some kid to paint a pull tab with gold paint and wear that. Who is gonna know? No one is gonna be like, "your tab from a 'coke' can totally looks fake!". People that wear something like this have to much money and think that dipping anything in gold makes it better. This is dipped in gold...
but it's not better. It's still a VW Bug from the 80's.Continue Transmission
