Lamebook: the best of the worst.

July 14th, 2009 | 3 Comments

Another day, yet another time wasting, productivity sapping bit of webspace that you shouldn’t be looking at but will anyway. Presenting Lamebook, a collection of submitted “Worst of the worst” of Facebook status updates, pictures and conversations. It’s truly inspired. Granted, one would only have to look around on Myspace for about three seconds to find idiocy of this caliber, but someone already did it for you in this case, so you might as well enjoy it! BONUS BILLY MAYS FAILURE … Read entire article »

What the HELL, Quiznos???

May 20th, 2009 | 5 Comments

Alright Quiznos, you’re on the shit list. The last time I ate a sub at one of your franchises, it was a pile of poo poo pee pee, these new Torpedo sandwiches are laughable, and now THIS?!? Hell, Quiznos ads used to be sort of catchy (if not creepy) – little mice in outfits singing ridiculous songs and what not – now we’re down to a suggestively sexual toaster oven and a reference to a scat-eating video popularized by the internet? I mean this video isn’t even funny or clever OR sexy, it’s literally just two girls “erotically” eating a Toasty Torpedo and making a mess of it. It does not in any way shape or form make me want to eat one of those stupid sandwiches. With pewp like this, … Read entire article »

“We” are “Baltimore”

May 14th, 2009 | 5 Comments

Local TV news team spots have always been cheesy. Cheesy, to the point that they’re almost unbearable but you kind of like them anyway, like that classic Bob Turk promo to the tune of “My Girl”. But at some point, some point, they just started going beyond cheesy, and got lame as all getout. But this “We are Baltimore” thing by WBFF is a bit…. lame as all getout. It’s literally like someone at WBFF was like “OK go drive around downtown ONLY DOWNTOWN and shoot some video, put it to Ellen Cherry’s song about Baltimore.” Yeahhhhh you know you have to see it (if you haven’t already). So watch it. Also the dude at about 0:33 – lol So essentially Baltimore consists of Camden Yards, Hampden, Fells Point, the Inner Harbor, Fort … Read entire article »

New! From Quiznos! (not actually new)

March 19th, 2009 | 6 Comments

I mean, I enjoy Quiznos subs and all, despite the fact that they make it …difficult to find their nutrition information (in that, there is no comprehensive list of their data anywhere except via 3rd party sites) and their commercials have been historically ssstupid, but their newest venture has the one-two punch of being pretty lame and sounding super lame. Yup, you too can be one of the first to try a Toasty…. Torpedo. Torpedo. Coz like, a sub is too big, you know? And torpedoes are weapons shot out of subs, right? So this is like the weaponized version of a sandwich that got shot out of a larger mother sandwich. AWESOME. Soak it in folks, this is the future of food. Slim, sleek bread (smaller size) and over a foot … Read entire article »

Burger King brings back tiny burgers again, again

February 18th, 2009 | 1 Comment

Except now they’re called “Burger Shots.” Tiny little burgers in packs of three or six, more than likely you could eat them all in one mouthful. So basically, you get the equivalent of two burgers with twice the bread AND the cost! Also Burger Shots? Pretty lame name if you ask me, especially considering they were “Burger Bundles” in 1987, and then “Burger Buddies” in the 90s. I suppose in another 8-10 years they’ll be “Burger Drops” or “Burger Flying Cars” or whatever timely rehash name they give them. Eh anyway, enjoy the timeline of rebranding! Burger Bundles: Burger Buddies: Burger Shots: FILE NOT FOUND – Burger King is apparently being dickholes and not allowing anyone to save the current iteration’s commercials to Youtube. Dicks. You can however find the commercial by going here. … Read entire article »
