Week in Review
We were all over the goddamn road today but overall this week was good. Solid. Solid as a rock. Let's review what we learned, shall we?
- I came across this insane article in The Times about dudes in China who work 12 hours a night, 7 nights a week, with only 2 or 3 nights off per month, basically finding coins in video games to be sold for real money to other game addicts.
- We're hearing that NBC may opt to pay out O'Brien $40 million to keep Leno on the Tonight Show, which conceivably would make room for The Daily Show's Jon Stewart to take over Late Night.
- Probably the most in-depth Sopranos finale speculation blog we've seen so far... and hope to never see again.
- I was on a short rope this week, that was the trend in most of the articles... As seen here
- Control freaks the world over, including most recently Tony Blair (ew! how very un-Bill Clinton of him!), have called for the introduction of a Chinese style Internet, where the World Wide Web is tightly regulated and free speech stifled on the whim of a government censor. Sweet!
- Newton says the world will end in ohhh, 2060.
- Picture a sprawling city, picture Los Angeles basically, with NO advertisements anywhere. No Posters. No flyers. No ads on buses. No ads on trains. NOTHING. It sounds like an Adbusters editorial: an activist's dream, right? Well in São Paulo, the dream has become a reality.
- A Swedish heavy metal fan has had his musical preferences officially classified as a disability. The results of a psychological analysis mean that the metal lover can now count on having his income supplemented by state benefits.
- Flower vases in Volkswagens??! We uncork the mystery that well, apparently it isn't all that much of a mystery but a corny VW Beetle accessory from way back and I'm easily intrigued. Either way, we uncorked that shit.
- Speaking of which, did u know Hitler invented the Volkswagen ?
- Have you ever tried reading The Times on the subway, in an express bus seat or even lounging on your Poltrona Frau sofa? Yeah, me neither. It's like wrestling a goddamn octopus and I don't have a Poltrona Frau...
- We kissed some Bloomberg ass
- Berlin Hotel recreates East German communist chic... This just might be the best thing ever.
- We introduced our new mascot: Joey Porsche and the girls went wild !
- How To Design The Perfect Nap a.k.a. How To Sleep Like a Wolf.
- Highlights from my corporate drug test.
- Even more Joey Porsche.
- And we stood up for The Splasher
