What on earth happened to the Trix Rabbit?


Almost everyone should be familiar with the Trix rabbit. Well, almost everyone in the US anyway.


Here he is on one of his original boxes in the early 1960's:



And here he is today:


Let's compare:

The once calm and mellow character is now a wide-eyed explosion of hyperactivity. Notice the panicked expression, bared teeth, and manic demeanor. From his contorted posture, it's difficult to tell if he's chasing after something in over-excitement or running for dear life in terror. In fact, he's running so fast that his eyebrows are literally flying off of his head! Even the cereal is practically leaping out of the bowl at him.

The "new" Trix Rabbit somewhat resembles a crack addict in comparison to the original. He almost looks ... well ... scary.

Be on the lookout for this dangerous, rabid creature on the prowl for your children at a cereal aisle near you.

"Head On: Apply Directly to the Forehead"


We've probably all seen the annoying commercial from "Head On", a headache remedy.

If you haven't seen it, you can see it [here]:




Yes, they actually play that hypnotic torture on television -- sometimes even more than once in a single commercial break.

The commercial has become the latest internet joke, with people posting parodies making fun of it. What kind of parodies? Here are a couple of examples:


Here's one parody [here]:



(If you can't tell, the guy is rubbing random objects "directly to the forehead".)


And another parody [here]: (contains a profanity)



Well the makers of "Head On" are now saying that they didn't intend for their commercial to be so aggrivatingly stupid that it prompts people to make fun of it.

It looks like they're in for a few headaches. But they should know a remedy for that, now shouldn't they?

Order your certificate [here], grab your lightsaber [here], and defend the galaxy!

You could be almost as cool as the guys in this Google video. They had camped outside the movie theater for days to see "Episode II: The Attack of the Clones" on opening night. Hilarity ensues when Triumph, the Insult Comic Dog, arrives to taunt the poor guys ...

Real Ultimate Power


I recently came across this book and nearly DIED laughing ...


Real Ultimate Power: The Official Ninja Book
by Robert Hamburger

Everything You Always Wanted to Know about Ninjas

Written by Ninja expert and enthusiast Robert Hamburger, this book represents a lifetime of collected knowledge. Pouring over all available resources, Mr. Hamburger has pieced together a comprehensive guide to the artist of death we know as "Ninja." From basic facts to details regarding Ninja history and culture, this book leaves no facet of Ninja lore undisturbed. You will learn all you need to know to embrace the way of the Ninja and eventually become one yourself. Ninjas are cool; and by cool, we mean "totally sweet."

Here are some Ninja facts from the book – tidbits, if you will, to whet your appetite:

  • Ninjas are mammals.
  • Ninjas fight ALL the time.
  • The purpose of the Ninja is to flip out and kill people.
  • Ninjas fly all the time…not like birds, but more like hovercrafts….
  • In the olden days, ninjas would develop their strength by wrestling with dogs, playing video games, and just plain hanging out. Fortunately, not much has changed.
Publisher’s Note

Come on, you know you want it :)



Computer Problems?


If you think YOU get aggrivated with your computer problems, you should see this Google video. In it, a German kid yells and screams at his computer, throwing the ultimate hysterical tantrum.

(It probably contains profanity, but I don't know -- since it's all in German. So if you speak German and are easily offended by profanity, you probably should not watch the video.)


Suddenly, my computer problems don't seem so bad ... O_o
