It seems I’ve picked up a theme in my earlier video post, where I highlighted some pretty weird behavior from Steve Ballmer. This next video is pretty sad as well. It’s a “remade” U2 song about the merger between MBNA and Bank of America, sung by two dudes with ties and very brown noses.

Saw this movie last weekend, and I’ve been pondering whether to write about it at all. In the hope that at least some of you might decide not to waste your money seeing it or renting it (as the case may be), I decided to review it after all.
Borat: Cultural Learnings… is terrible and horrible. [...]

Some Hungarian builders who drank their way to the bottom of a barrel of rum found out the hard way what gave it its “special taste”. Details too disgusting to mention here, but you’re welcome to find out for yourselves. Here’s the link to the Reuters article.

Apparently these nasty things have been popping out of basins, toilets and taps across Cape Town, South Africa, sparking a citywide panic. Yuck! I thought I might want to post a photo of it here, but I changed my mind after I saw the little bugger. Instead, here’s a link to a photo.
