I wish you'd never been born

Yes, it's another YouTube video. I've been too lazy busy to do a proper blog entry, okay?

This is a funny one, I promise. 20,000 bonus points for anyone who can guess what product this commercial is trying to sell before the 30-second mark.


Did you guess it correctly? Don't lie!

Mentos, the haymaker

Remember those old "Mentos, the freshmaker" commercials? This one is my favorite of the bunch. Enjoy.

404 - You are dumb

Web pages come and go, so it's no surprise that the Web is littered with broken links. Most of you probably encounter geeky "404 - Page Not Found" error messages from time to time. No one pays much attention to those because they're boring.

But some sites have "creative" custom error pages, like this one I came across earlier.

Oops!!! Page Not Found.... You are dumb.

What? So rude!

I'm not making this up. Go see for yourself.

This got me thinking.... chickenmafia.com has a totally vanilla error page. Not that I'll ever be not lazy enough to actually change it, but how can I spice it up? Any suggestions? Any suggestions aside from lolcats?

Chickens watching Survivor: Kathy's March Madness

The latest episode of Survivor came one day early, but I didn't feel compelled to do the recap early because there will be no new episode this week thanks to March Madness. Boo. Wait, I like March Madness. Yay.

Erik has been alternating between extreme love and extreme hate for his idol Ozzy all season long. Today, it's love.

Blind faith and stinking miracles

Religious nutjobs seem to come crawling out of the woodwork every Holy Week. In this country, some devotees like to nail themselves to crosses or whip themselves on the back until they bleed. The head of the Department of Health even had to issue a warning about how using dirty whips can lead to tetanus. Well, duh.

Of course, we don't have a monopoly on this retarded brand of Christianity. A few weeks ago in India, rumors spread that an image of the Virgin Mary was miraculously appearing on the sun--yes, that big bright shiny thing in the sky. So some smart people gathered around and started gazing at the sun to get a glimpse of the miracle, and... over 50 of them lost their sight. That sure gives a fresh new meaning to the term "blind faith" huh.

Not to be outdone by his mother, Jesus also appears to his faithful followers from time to time, often in the most unexpected places.


Happy Holy Week :-P

fake live blogging at a dead party

Last night, I went to a "singles night" party because a friend's cousin needed more bodies to fill the floor. For some reason I haven't quite figure out yet, she needs it to pass a course. Wow, some course huh?

I didn't exactly have a good time. Seeing as I wasn't likely to gain anything by being there, I decided to live blog instead. Well, not really. I typed my thoughts down on my phone so I could share them with you later. I know... I might as well have worn this cap.

Anyway, here you go.

10:00 Guess what? I feel like a dork.
10:02 I don't even see people. Maybe I'm in the wrong part of the room.
10:03 Well, there are some. Most of them are guys though.
10:04 I wish I've brought a camera so I can blog about how dorky I look.
10:06 I knew it was the wrong move to come alone. Not only do I look like a dork, I look like a loser dork.
10:08 250 pesos... guess that covers the 2 beers. I wish it's food instead. Hmm, I'm thinking of splitting. The girl who invited me ain't even talking to me. Way to go, Philos!
10:10 Now I see some transvestites come in with a group of girls. At least there are girls now. Some are pretty cute too.
10:11 At least I lucked out on the seat I chose. I'm sitting at the women's side of the room... a whole lot of good it's doing me.
10:13 Damn beer tastes like water.
10:14 I have a magic trick, but I ain't about to go and prove how dorky I am. (Here's where JC was trying to convince me to make a fool of myself to attract attention.)

After half an hour of sulking and trying to get some cutie to make eye contact....

10:47 They're setting up a dance floor of sorts. Apparently, there's going to be some dancing. I'm so doomed.
10:52 And now I lost my seat because some enterprising guys realized what a good position I had.
10:59 Now some idiot is starting to dance an idiot dance.
11:02 WTF! The only daring guy I saw--the one who sat with the chicks--is holding hands with a transvestite!
11:09 Sigh. Now the girls went down to the dance floor with a bunch of guys... small consolation that I got my seat back.
11:10 Whoa! Is this spot a chick magnet or what? A bunch of hotties just walked in and took the same table. They have gay escort too but at least not trannies.
11:12 Boy am I glad I stayed up here. The ratio just shifted 10 to 1.
11:14 Man man, never seen so short a mini before.

At this point I spotted a hot chick and desperately tried to think of an opening line.

11:54 Damn, I'm such a chicken. (Yup, this is me still figuring out what to do.)
11:57 I spoke too soon. The "hottie" I was eying is a tranny.... eeewww!!! Now I'm glad I chickened out.
12:01 Leaving now. Can't believe there's actually a line of people outside still waiting to get in. Imagine their shock when they saw a dork walk out.

Yes, I didn't get any numbers... not even a smile. And to think I was acting cool and stuff--well, as cool as can be managed while sporting a big backpack and wearing an "old person" shirt.

But I'm sorta glad I was too chicken. The only thing worse than not getting a number is getting a tranny's number.

Women can't drive?

In the Islamofascist kingdom of Saudi Arabia, women aren't allowed to drive in cities. Now, one brave Saudi woman is trying to prove that women can drive as well as men by posting a video of herself driving on YouTube, the world's largest video sharing site.


Ahahahaha! Just kidding. Here's the real video, but it's nowhere as entertaining as the one you just saw. It's just a woman driving in a straight line while talking nonstop in Arabic. Boring. Worse, there are no subtitles, so you won't have any idea what she's babbling about.


Snore... um, I meant yay women's rights.

UPDATE: Someone posted this clip of the CNN story on YouTube, most likely without permission. Yay new media.

Chickens watching Survivor: the pecking order

This week, Jeff Probst announced a twist that isn't really a twist anymore because they do it every freaking season.


Now that it's no longer fans vs. favorites, I'll just refer to the tribes by their colors, because there's no way I can remember their wacky tribe names.

The world's lamest octopus

CNN.com can be really silly sometimes. Just the other day, I saw this headline....

CNN.com/technology  World's first six-legged octopus discovered

First of all, isn't "six-legged octopus" an oxymoron? You do know what the prefix "octo-" means, right? And why is this under the technology section? Is your six-legged octopus some kind of sinister robot from the future?

The British scientists who discovered the strange creature called it a "hexapus" and named it Henry. "Henry the hexapus"? That sounds so lame. I guess "six-legged octopus" wasn't so bad after all.


Introducing the hexapus: 25% less sushi

The article said that Henry was the first six-legged octopus ever found, but I knew I had seen something like that somewhere before. I just couldn't for the life of me remember where. Then, earlier tonight, as I was digging through old pictures in search for blog ideas, I found it.


You sure this was made in China? I thought the Chinese are good at math.

I saw that "octopus" stuffed toy in a souvenir shop in Subic a few months ago. I took a picture because I couldn't get over how stupid the idea of a six-legged octopus is.

Well, I guess I was wrong. Hail the hexapus!
