Today on the Veg - phonecam magic with Marco Tempest

The always funny 'Where's My Jetpack?' alerted me to this lame new Heineken ad campaign called 'Share The Good.' which is asking for pictures of you sharing beers with those in need of alcohol.

Of course there's so many ways you could fuck this up. Jetpack thinks Jesus is the way to go but why stop at mocking religion?

How about sharing some brewski's with toodlers? unsuspecting animals? homeless drunks?

Got any more ideas? Share them in the comments.

This is the year of competition. Obama vs. Hillary. Torch Runners vs. Tibetan Protesters. My World of Warcraft Guild vs. Shadowfang Keep. And most importantly, Kenny vs. Spenny. For the uninitiated, Kenny vs. Spenny is a Canadian television show in which two friends compete in such trials as: Who Can Stay Naked Longer, Who Can Commit the Most Crime, Who Can Catch the Biggest Fish. At the end of each episode, the loser has to submit themselves to a humiliation, which include such punishments as having a swarm of bees on your genitals, licking the handle of a porn store, and getting spanked by your mother. It's highly addictive, it's sophomoric, and it's an excellent thesis on the dichotomy of good and evil. (There are videos after the jump, most are NSFW but all will have you laughing.)

Is it just me, or is casting veteran porn star Mike Horner as Elliot Spitzer pure genius on Hustler's part?

Yeh, I think I posted this before...but I don't care. I room full of Christopher Walken impersonators is funny enough to post twice.

I hate having my mind blown too much while I'm drinking my morning coffee, but a short story over on BoingBoing introduced me to the concept of "Cognitive Surplus" - which (I think) is the amount of free time everyone has due to automation. Instead of toiling out in the fields to grow our own food, or slaving over a hot oven every night, mechanized automation in the 50s increasingly gave people more time to think about stuff.

Unfortunately, there was no internet, and s, to fill the gap, we created mindless neverending TV sitcoms. And it's only now that we're starting to free ourselves from the shackles (a good reason why TV watching continues to decline). But as a whole, the amount of cognitive surplus TV sucks up is still insane.

This make realize that when I say 'I just never have the time', I just need to stop watching Hell's Kitchen.

To me, this is inventive and really fun.

Artist Joshua Allen Harris ties bags to NYC subway grates and when the trains roll by the bags come to life from the rush of air. See a collection of his bag art creations after the jump.

Whose room is this?

Now THIS is a Google Maps mashup I can really get into. Residents of NYC - name your favorite beer and find out where in town it's being served.

That's it. And really, there's no more to be said - genius. Now excuse me, I'm off to Burp Castle for a Dry Blackthorn Cider.

According to 50s sitcoms, there was a time when a wife would sit at home in the rocking chair with a rolling pin waiting for her no-good husband to roll in.

Times have changed.
