NSFW

Bob Coulter 015

I've used that phrase - “NSFW” - in emails to people lately and they've all said “what does that stand for?”

NOT SAFE FOR WORK

Ok, now that we've cleared that up, here are a few links that I've been visiting in the midnight hours when only grownups are allowed on the internet. If you're easily offended, move along as there's nothing to see here. Otherwise, read on. Jellio always berates me for lowering the tone when I post anything with even slightly sexual content, so please be aware none of these are Jellio endorsed (hell, he hasn't posted for a week, so while the cat's away...)

Whistle Goes Woooooo

I might be the last one at the "Whistle Goes Woo!" party. But if you haven't seen this yet, please download and watch the clip. I'm begging you.

Then, once you're in the fan club, check out this eBaum's World shrine. Woo wooooo!

Would you buy a new camera from these guys?

Tn0020

Last year I decided to finally enter the digital photography realm, and after some research, settled on a Canon Digital Rebel (which, by the way, gives great results). After shopping around online, I found a superb deal (at least a couple of hundred bucks cheaper than Best Buy, plus no sales tax). In fact, anyone buying camera equipment online these days will have heard of some of these guys - Express Cameras, Broadway Photo, Central Digital, and so on, most of them operating out of Brooklyn.

I wonder if I'd have been so quick to buy if I'd actually known the kind of store-fronts those enterprises operate out of. Now, bear in mind, my camera arrived as advertised, at a great price, and I have no complaints. But still - this gallery of online storefronts is just a bit creepy.

The Corn Conspiracy, or how Nixon made us Fat

This is one of my favorite articles from the New York Times. The politics of agriculture and the root causes of the obesity epidemic are spelled out better than I've ever seen prior or since.
"The (Agri)Cultural Contradictions Of Obesity" By Michael Pollan

"Nixon ordered his secretary of agriculture, Earl (Rusty) Butz, to do whatever was necessary to drive down the price of food.
Butz implored America's farmers to plant their fields ''fence row to fence row'' and set about dismantling 40 years of farm policy designed to prevent overproduction.

Cheap corn, the dubious legacy of Earl Butz, is truly the building block of the ''fast-food nation.'' Cheap corn, transformed into high-fructose corn syrup, is what allowed Coca-Cola to move from the svelte 8-ounce bottle of soda ubiquitous in the 70's to the chubby 20-ounce bottle of today. Cheap corn, transformed into cheap beef, is what allowed McDonald's to supersize its burgers and still sell many of them for no more than a dollar. Cheap corn gave us a whole raft of new highly processed foods, including the world-beating chicken nugget, which, if you study its ingredients, you discover is really a most ingenious transubstantiation of corn, from the cornfed chicken it contains to the bulking and binding agents that hold it together."

Things we still don't know

 41210473 Top Secrets2 203

In the wake of Deep Throat's identity finally being revealed, the BBC is here to reassure us that there are still plenty of things we still don't know such as the recipe to Coca Cola, what happened to Hoffa, and how in the hell did Blackstone float that lightbulb. You know, really useful things rather than queries such as “why can't America get it's act together on a functioning free National Health system, and higher education for all”.

Readers are also asked to submit their own questions - my favorite so far being “Who's buying that Crazy Frog song and why?”

Great Moments in 49ers History

San Francisco 49ers.jpg

They've won five Super Bowls, but I think the San Francisco 49ers recently leaked PR training video has topped all those championship rings.

The training video showed [team PR director Kirk] Reynolds, posing as the mayor of San Francisco, cavorting with topless dancers when the topic of dealing with women in the locker room is broached, spoofing gay marriage, and talking with a man in Chinatown who spoke in an exaggerated accent while wearing glasses and buck teeth.

Read about the tape.

Watch it now.

I need to break into sports PR.

404 Error

Whoops! We're not sure if it was your fault or ours (probably yours, we're good that way) but you've encountered a FATAL ERROR!!! Or at least, a pretty grumpy one.

Specifically the Latvians who run our server are telling us in a weird accent "Smarty error: [in evaluated template line 6]: syntax error: unrecognized tag 'mtfeed' (Smarty_Compiler.class.php, line 580), Comrade!". Ain't life a bitch.

If you want to vent, email our slacker of a webmaster. Otherwise, we'd suggest going back, using search, or clicking around aimlessly on this page like a moron.

Have fun.
