Seeing as we’re going with a musical theme today (one post earlier today), here’s one more: a very amusing, and hellishly true, ripoff of Nickelback’s hit song Photograph, entitled “Look at this Instagram” – yet another pearler from the always awesome CollegeHumor. For all of you who insist on inundating us with an overload of sepia-tinged cat and food photos on Instagram, this ones for you: Now good luck getting that tune out of your head this evening. Each year I post the annual United State of Pop mashup by DJ Earworm. Well, I’ve yet to see 2012′s version, but that should be due out soon. In my search I stumbled across another artist doing something similar, Daniel Kim. Take a look at his rather impressive 2012 mashup of 50+ pop hits from the year, called Pop Danthology 2012. Not bad. Not bad at all. —
And on a lighter note… not exactly mashups, but close enough:
Lads, gather round, and let me tell you a story. Once upon a time Melanie Iglesias made a new Flip Book video. That time is now. The end. Epic? Featuring tunes by Tiësto and blah blah blah don’t care – it’s Melanie Iglesias flipbooking (mostly), and that, my friends, is what really matters. Right, enough waffling. Take a look: That’ll do. —
To wrap, I leave you with the following photo. You’re welcome.
You know those clowns who insist on posting those long-winded faux-legal Facebook statuses proclaiming that Facebook cannot use their pics or info or whatever without their permission and blah blah blah as they’re now a publicly traded entity blah blah blah? Well, here’s one for them to set the record straight once and for all: Facebook law for idiots, from the good folks over at CollegeHumor.
Consider yourselves both educated and told off. This one has been doing the rounds for the last few days, and for good reason – the scariest hidden camera prank EVER! Check it out. Might convince you to take the stairs for the rest of your days. New jocks please! Finally dragged my doughy physique to gym for a change. Got one concern though – If I manage to keep at it for a while, will I also be expected to walk around like the rest of those skinny chops who appear to be carrying invisible watermelons under their arms? They’re the littlest okes around, yet all trudge around like they’re waiting for their turn at the Olympic powerlifting final. “Ja schweet boet, I just benched like a boss!”. No, no you didn’t. You “benched” like my one-year-old daughter struggling to hold up a slightly overfilled milk bottle.
Some brand activations can be rather lame… Others? Epic. Take a look at last month’s “Unlock the 007 in you” campaign giving folks the chance to win tickets to the new James Bond movie, Skyfall. Of course some folks (read: party poopers) are calling “FAKE” on this one, while others disagree. One guy reckons:
Well, I ain’t an investigator on Law & Order, so that’s good enough for me. Take a look: Brand win!  Look how excited the little one is. How could you possibly say no to that enthusiasm Never underestimate the internet’s fondness for cats. 7-year-old Remi Urbano wanted a cat, but his father said nope. Much nagging later, the dad, Dan Urbano, made a bet with his kids that he (mistakenly) assumed wouldn’t go anywhere. According to ABC News, he stated that “if a picture of Remi and his 1-year-old sister, Evelyn, pleading for a cat got 1,000 likes on Facebook, he would buy the siblings a cat.” So the above photo was posted on their mother’s Facebook page, the internet at large caught wind of the challenge… and a week later the photo had a staggering 115,000 likes! Needless to say, they’re now the proud owners of a pet cat – The Urbanos adopted a cat from a shelter over the weekend. Their dad: 0, the internet: 1.  Yes please! Once again I’m here to show you a gallery of photos of the latest from the Lamborghini stable, seeing as it’s nearly Christmas and you might be wondering what to get me. This time it’s the Lamborghini Aventador LP 700-4 Roadster. You’ve probably realised by now that I’m rather fond of Lamborghinis, as they tend to feature far more than other brand of supercar here on stustake.com. Not that I’d kick any supercar out of my garage… For the tech-heads out there all the technical specs in their detailed glory are available here on the Lamborghini website. And for the rest of us? Here’s the really important stuff. Figures are as listed on the above-mentioned Lambo site – as soon as they get in touch with me to road test the thing I’ll be sure to check if they’re telling the truth. Power: 515 kW (700 HP) “The price?” I hear you ask. Really? Does it really matter? If I say $80 000 will you be sure to dash off and snap one up next time you pop out to buy milk and bread? Well, if you insist, here you go: According to Automoblog.net: ”the Lamborghini Aventador LP-700-4 Roadster is listed at a cost of 300,000 euros (45,000 euros above the price of the hardtop). When sold in the United States, expect it to have a price north of the $400,000 range.” Right, that’s that settled then. I’ll take three. On with the gallery: 
Why do I do this to myself? I was SUPPOSED to be spending Saturday evening here:
somewhere in the middle of this lot:
crooning noisily, and somewhat drunkenly, along to:
But noooooooo. Because I’m pretending I’m all smart and stuff, I’ll be spending all weekend studying this instead:
so that come Monday morning, I don’t end up with this:
which will in turn lead to a future of this:
That just ain’t right, now is it? All together now… SHAAAAAAMMMMEEEEEE. Poor Stu. |
