I’d drive that…

If you don’t already know it, to say that I don’t like driving would be a bit of an understatement.

So please recognize how much it must pain me to say that I want this black, gas-sucking, James Bond-esque SUV. But its so cool…

And I’m sure it would seel like a hot damn in South Africa.

Are all chicks from Courtenay like that?

Man, if I had a seven-figure sum every time Pam Anderson had a video tape of her and an ’80′s metal band I’d be rich! Apparently not only did the tape of her and Tommy Lee get out, but also another one with the lead singer for Poison. Craziness.. maybe this is why 2D listens to so much metal…

We might lose SlantyByProxy….

Oh man, looks bad for OJ. Once online Sims comes out I reckon he’s never going to get on the computer. One of the options is a Survivor Sims where you vote people out of the house…

Having a house filled with roommates opens up an entirely different element of gameplay that fans of the TV show Survivor should enjoy. Whenever you or other players living within your house become upset with another roommate, you can hold meetings and vote the disruptive sim out of the house.

Canada rules! But right now Australia looks pretty viable, less pollution…

Canada has apparently attached a doohicky (the technical term is I believe a thingamajig) to a NASA satellite that allows them to track CO2 measurements in the upper atmosphere, where it has a tendency to float to and then travel at rapid distances. Check out some of the images here. Actually, the site for the satellite which is named Terra, is pretty cool too.

And can you tell me what your computer was doing on the night in question?

The night in question was May 4th.

We’re looking for potential culprits in the GRC (aka SHIELDS UP!) DDoS attack. The people at GRC give us an ACTION PACKED breakdown of why they went down and how it happened. And I quote:

I determined that we had been
attacked by 474 Windows PC’s.

Ouch, thats a whole lot of hurting. (How’s your firewall set-up?)

..there is no Dubya…or is there?

Turns out that the reports of vandalism in the White House by departing Democrats (including removing the ‘W’ from computer keyboards) may have quite false.

No surprises there, really. Seriously, folks, you’re running the most powerful country in the world here. Who’d believe that they’d really stoop that low? (On the other hand, there are plenty that would want to believe….)

There is…another
When Yoda talks, maybe you should listen. There are rumors floating around of another version of the Phantom Menace, dubbed The Phantom Edit. Bard, Highlander, take note.

Worst date ever
This guy who thinks he’s dating Claudia Shiffer is a loon. End story.

I am writing news about people writing news…

Call it a meta-blog/ e.n. scene

I found these links on Moronic.Org and I found them hilarious.

BlogYou.com: Reviews blog sites. Apparently, destructive abuse is known as good writing. I have no idea what the hell their criteria for reviewing a site are – there seems to be a link for self-submission – but why would you bother? Anyway, they’re well aware of their ‘reputation’ and can certainly take any abuse I care to dish out them in good stride.

FuckedBlog: Imagine FuckedCompany for blogs. A quick review of the page makes me think that it needs a search functionality and archives. Blogs are going down pretty quickly.

(Damn, I just read a page from a weblog clinic site. Apparently, meta-blog isn’t a new term. Bummer. Also reading their site, I’m under the impression that NewsPro is at the low end of the ‘functionality’ scale…and Slashcode is somewhere near the top (duh). But then again, I can’t think of what else I want right now, so ‘blah blah’.)

Jenna Bush strikes again

Seems like President Bush’s daughter can’t seem to grasp the fact that she is underage when it comes to buying alcohol. Must suck to be in the public light so much…like father, like daughter?

“A bigger and betta future”

Word has come out of England that the model Jordan has decided to run for a local MP position. She’ll definately keep abreast of the competition but that is about it.

“In her manifesto Jordan claims her foreign policy is to give tax cuts to anyone having an affair with a foreign footballer as well as a free season ticket to a club of their choice.”

Hahahaha…

“On health, the model who has had breast enlargement operations to transform her to a 34FF, is offering free plastic surgery for all. While on Europe she says her policy is to provide cheap package holidays paid for by the National Health Service.”

It just keeps getting better.

Addendum by SlantyME:
Why don’t we get MPs like that? All we have are Gordon Campbell, the now-defunct NDP and the party hoppers (eg: Gordon Wilson). We need some party to laugh at besides the Green, Marijuona (sp?) and the Rhinocerous. We need Pam Anderson to run for parliament!
