“Hey, Joey, Wanna Do a Review?”

Just got this email:

I wanted to know if by any chance you would be interested in doing an unbiased review of one of our products.

If you agree we will send you a product sample so that you can try it and then write a review about it. Please note you won’t have to return the product sample after publishing the review.

The product in question? Peloop:

Screenshot of the Peloop site.These 3 materials will constantly provide your penis with amazing benefits. peloop™ is simply worn at the bottom of your penis just like you wear a ring on your finger. It’s penis enhancement and penis enlargement made simple.

These materials work by drastically improving the condition of blood inside your penis. Your penis health is as good as the blood health inside it. If you have unhealthy blood in your penis, you will have a weak unhealthy penis BUT if you have healthy blood in your penis, you will have a big, strong and healthy penis. It’s that simple. Please continue reading to fully understand how peloop works for male enhancement.

My favourite bit: the addendum at the bottom of the page that says “NOTE: JUNE 2007, NEW IMPROVED ADJUSTABLE PELOOP.” If I’m going to be strapping something on the Magnificent Pork Sword, it had damn well better be adjustable.

So, dear readers, what do you think? Do the review and get a free peloop, or pass and not have my in-laws (who read this blog) give me the “what the hell is wrong with you?” look forever?

19 Years Ago Today (or: The World’s Ballsiest Man)

\"Tank Man\" faces down 4 Chinese tanks during the Tienanmen Square Massacre

19 years ago today, “Tank Man” (a.k.a. “The Unknown Rebel”, or as I prefer to call him, “Iron Balls McGinty”) faced down four tanks during the Tienanmen Square Massacre. Little is known about this man aside from the fact that he must clank when he walks.

I salute you with a filet mignon on a flaming sword, sir!

Interview Video of the Day: Bruce Lee Interviewed by Pierre Berton

Here’s a real gem: one of my heroes, Bruce Lee, being interviewed by Canadian television personality, journalist and author Pierre Berton in December 1971. It was Lee’s one and only TV interview. Bruce is great in this interview: he’s got some interesting stories to tell, and he does so with the confidence, charisma and focus that were his stock in trade.

One of the interesting things about the interview is that certain terms they brought up in conversation — kung fu and tai chi — are common terms in North America today, but completely foreign back in 1971.

When asked which Hollywood stars were his best students, he named two: Steve McQueen (“That son of a gun got the toughness in him!” says Bruce in the interview) as the one who best understood the fighting aspects of kung fu, and James Coburn (in the interview, Bruce describes him as “A peace-loving man…really nice, super mellow”) as the one who best grasped the philosophy of kung fu. He also taught Roman Polanski; I always thought that a Lee/Polanski kung fu lesson would make a great comedy skit.

The video is just under 25 minutes long, but it’s well worth watching.

Music Video of the Day: “New Math”

Here’s Bo Burnham singing his nerd-folk/filk song, New Math:

In case you were wondering what the lyrics were, here they are:

What’s a pirate minus the ship? Just a creative homeless guy
And an anteater plus a large hungry mutant ant? An ironic way to die
And what’s domain, domain, range (x, x, y) — a kid with too much in his pants
and two balls minus one, six titles at the tour de france.

Split a decision with long division,
Take the circumference of your circumcision
Live like your data and when you’re all “set”
Put it all together and whatever you get…

Is new math

What’s a bag of chips divided by five? That’s a Nike worker’s meal
And Santa Claus mutliplied by i? Well, I guess that makes him real
And the square root of the NBA is Africa in a box
How do you trace a scatter plot? Give the pencil to Michael J. Fox

Take the approximate moral proportion of the probable problem of a pro-life abortion
Live like your data, and when you’re all “set”
Put it all together and whatever you get…

Is new math

And if you made a factor tree of the factors that caused my girl to leave me you’d have a tree
…full of Asian porn.
C-A-L-C-U-LATOR (see you later) mathematical minds make industrial smog
and whats the opposite of ln(x): Duraflame, the unnatural log

Support the farmers with a pro-tractor
Link Kennedy and Lincoln with a common factor (fact, or)
Live like your data…blah blah

Word problems

If there’s a fat guy in a pastry shop with a twenty dollar bill and he’s ready to buy
In order to predict his volume change you need to know the value of pi (pie)
And theres a metal train that’s a mile long and at the very back end a lightning bolt struck her
How long ’til it reaches and kills the driver, provided that he’s a good conductor
And if ten percent of men are gay and twenty percent of men are Chinese
What are the odds that a man chosen at random spends his free time and mealtime while on his knees
And if Kim is half as old as Bobby who is two years older than twelve year old Tori
For how many more 30 day months will their threesomes be considered statutory rape

Cause havin’ sex is like quadratic expansion: if it can’t be split then it’s time to stop
and havin’ sex is like doing fractions, it’s improper for the larger one to be on top
And havin’ sex is like math homework, I do it best when I’m alone in my bed
And squarin numbers’ are just like women, if they’re under thirteen just do them in your head

And new math

McCain: “Global Warming for Bombs…Do We Have a Deal?”

John McCain in front of the word \"WAR\" in large letters: \"I\'m John McCain and I approve this message.\"

The blog Craptocracy sums up John McCain’s unexpected stance on climate change very nicely:

When McCain talks about ‘climate change’ he seems desperate and grasping, like he doesn’t really care about it one way or the other. It’s as if he’s saying, “I’ll give you your global warming, just let me get my hands on some bombs. Just let me get my hands on some bombs and I will agree to whatever you want that doesn’t involve not bombing.”

Personally, I Would Have Gone with Post-It Notes Instead [Updated]

Dr. Wei Sheng sticks 2008 needles in his head to commemorate the Olympics

The bad-at-real-news, decent-at-amusing-trivial-stories UK paper The Telegraph reports that “In a bizarre publicity stunt, Dr Wei Sheng pierced the decorative needles in his head, face, hands and chest in the five colours of the Olympic rings.”

Next to him, “Pinhead” from the Hellraiser movies doesn’t seem like he’s trying:

As Long as I’m Writing About “End Times” Humour…

…I might as well dig up the classic Eschatron 9000 photo (originally posted in this blog entry):

Cute girl in a bikini pushing the 'Immanentize' button on a machine labelled 'ESCHATRON 9000'.
If there truly is a God and He is merciful and kind, the end of the world will involve hot chicks in bikinis. Who dig accordions.
