You know those Mac commercials where they portray PC owners as a bunch of lame, hapless, behind-the-times nerds?

Well apparently Microsoft is taking the "if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em" approach in this new ad for their Songsmith software.

Yes, I'm fairly certain this is actually from Microsoft. And yes, I'm also fairly certain that's a MacBook Pro the daughter is using.

Are you as confused and/or amused as I am? Leave a comment!

Adult shop retailer Ann Summers is in a compromising position because of this in-store poster display.

Local UK officials believe the visual play (lips + extended l) along with the line "Get Excited" is a bit too suggestive.

They are orally and morally offended.

Personally, I believe this is a public service announcement. It's simply encouraging more couples to get intimate and practice their oral skills. (At savings up 75%.)

That's not offensive, it's educational. Hence the poster.

Every once in a while, an idea comes along that's so perfect, so well done, that you can't help but stand in awe. Shit Senders is that idea. Has your boss made you stay late for the past three nights in a row while he's at home in his mansion with his trophy wife screwing her on, what you're assuming, are dead animal pelts? Does your ex-girlfriend insist on putting photos of her new boyfriend doing body shots off her boobs from their trip to the Cayman Islands on Facebook? Need an anonymous way to get back at them? Send them shit in a box. (For proof of it's effectiveness, read this article about an unlucky MTV executive.)

Here's a cut-away look at Obama's new ride. Complete with capsules of his own blood should he need a transfusion on the road, the new presidential limo is filled to the brim with state-of-the-art technology - including night vision and back-up oxygen tanks. This is making my 1986 Peugeot look like a bitch ... though both could take a direct hit from a rocket. Got to love French engineering.

So I'm supposed to write something highlighting all the extremely funny pieces I have written for YBNBY. It's a ploy to convince you we are funny and that you should vote for us at the 2008 Weblog Awards for the Most Humorous Blog award. After all, Scaramouch decided early on that humor was to be our goal. I've looked over the selection and I must admit the pickings are slim. This past year, I only wrote one article that made it into the Top Twenty YBNBY Stories of 2008, and that one wasn't even funny.

I think I've found what my problem is. Continue reading for a lame explanation.

Guitar Animation Project from Charles Gallant on Vimeo.Mad genius, Charles Gallant has unleashed his newest creation as witnessed in the video above. Using his electric guitar, he's able to create animations based on the values of each note. Still in the "proof of concept" stage, the technology he developed will no doubt lead to amazing things. In other words, you'll be seeing this as a backdrop very soon at a Kiss concert.

This awesome clip was forwarded to me by my friend Ben, who has an awesome horror movie of his very own coming out Feb. 17, called Alien Raiders, which will also be available on Netflix. It doesn't have Mama Fratelli from The Goonies, but it does have the gay cop boyfriend from Six Feet Under. Oh, and oodles of real, non-CGI, blood and stuff.

Okay, shameless plug over....now!

Oh, there are plenty.

But these particular streets, roads, avenues and boulevards happen to have some of the worst names in the world.

Japanese games shows are wacky. French games shows are something else entirely.
