Sony Releases New Stupid Piece Of Shit That Doesn't Fucking Work

I just got out of a two-hour conference call that made me want to tear my hair out.  I need something to lighten my mood.  So...

Last week, as a result of playing Kingdom of Loathing, Boyfriend and I discovered this website:  Roy Orbison in Clingfilm .  That's right. It's a guy who writes stories about Roy Orbison wrapped in clingfilm. We only read one ("Roy in Clingfilm in Space") because Boyfriend was rather traumatized, but...wow. It's, like, the most bizarre fetishizing I've read, as there's nothing even vaguely sexual, the author just...enjoys the thought of wrapping Roy Orbison in clingfilm. Observe:

I retrieve some cling-film from the Clingfilm Stowage Compartment where several hundred of the translucent rolls of joy glint softly in the cabin lights.

Roy Orbison unbuckles from his seat and floats out into the middle of the cabin, his black clothing billowing about him in the zero gravity like the folds of some black cloth manta ray. 'Commence,' he says.

I won't give away the surprise twist ending, but let's just say, if you're intrigued by the thought of wrapping Roy Orbison in clingfilm, it will definitely delight and satiate you.  When you read the stories, and you will read the stories, picture Dieter from Sprockets as the author, reading it aloud to you.  That makes it all the more delectable.

I'm not big on Obama. I'm not against him, I just can't seem to muster up screaming enthusiasm for him. But I'm sure that there are plenty of people on my flist who would enjoy this commentary from the chicks at Disgrasian, about Fox News' hysterical reporting of Barack and Michelle Obama's "terrorist fist bump".  I always think the best way to deal with idiots is not to scream back at them, but to make them look stupid by mocking them.  And Disgrasian definitely has that down to a science.  They've even got pictures!

I was spending my day being disgusted with the BBC, for having the nerve to threaten to sue fans who knit cuddly versions of Doctor Who monsters.  But then I see this headline on the BBC World News website:



And, you know, it's a story about birds.  But the fact remains that if you're an American, when you see that headline, your intial reaction is shock that that kind of thing got past the censors.  And then you just start giggling hysterically.  (If you're a geeky girl, you may also wonder if by "great", they mean "shapely", since that's kind of a matter of personal opinion and preference, or if they just mean "large", in which case you start wondering if you might save money on future air conditioning bills compared to your small-chested brethren.)  (Or would that be sistern?  Whatever.)
