The best act on Britian’s Got Talent was not Susan Boyle (Link to Video of announcement)

 It was a bunch of loser dancers called Diversity.

It’s American Idol all over again.

Susan Boyle was totally calm, but scowling, before the winner was announced. Afterwards, she took the high road and was gracious.

Dancers. Meh. Punks

Susan Boyle, Baby Boomer, Yay.

Diversity/Kris Allen, trivia answers in about six months.

Susan Boyle/Adam Lambert – vocal recording artists and stars.

Here’s Diversity, the winners of Britian’s Got Talent 2009

Hollie Steel Gets Crushed by Britian’s Got Talent

Published on May 30, 2009 in Childhood and Entertainment. 0 Comments

Hollie Steel was crushed by the pressure of Britain’s Got Talent and dissolved into tears and could not finish her performance.

Hollie Steel in the end was voted through by the judges over Welsh waiter Greg Pritchard.

Hollie was in the middle of her performance as nerves caused her voice to waver and eventually she broke into tears.

10 year old Hollie Steel ran from the stage to her mother’s arms who was waiting near the judges. She begged the judges to let her start again and when denied broke into sobs.

Hollie Steel was saved by steel-hearted Simon Cowell who vowed to let the child audition again.

‘I don’t care how we do it but we will find the time somewhere (on the show) to let you audition again.’

This is the first time Hollie Steel had performed without dancing, choosing to sing Edelweiss.

Who’s at fault for Hollie Steel’s on stage breakdown?

Betting odds for final (Ladbrokes):
Susan Boyle 5/6
Aidan Davis 7/2
Shaheen Jafargholi 9/1
Stavros Flatley 10/1
Julian Smith 14/1
Diversity 16/1
Hollie Steel 33/1

Bing: Microsoft’s New Search Engine. Bill Gates Retains Prickdom

Published on May 29, 2009 in Technology. 4 Comments Tags: , , , , , , , , , , , , .


Microsoft tried to make some big waves in the tech world by announcing a new search engine called Bing.

Besides the fact that Bing means “disease” in Chinese and has already been referred to as Because It’s Not Google, Bing is pretty much a made up word.

Never mind that Google should really have been spelled gogol, at least it’s derived from a term that means “large number.”

Bing on the other hand suggests:

BING VS. BING

LONG-TIME FORTUNE COLUMNIST AND BEST-SELLING AUTHOR STANLEY BING CONDEMNS “BRAND INTRUSION” BY NEW MICROSOFT SEARCH ENGINE, ALSO TO BE NAMED “BING”

OFFERS SERVICES TO NEW ENTITY FOR “ANY REASONABLE OFFER”

Bill Gates is a Prick.

UPDATE: Har. Microsoft marketing decided they would try to get cute and actually respond to The Real Bing, and among other things they offered.

Let’s do lunch. In the meantime we are sending you a case of moderately priced cigars.
Your pals,
Bing.com

Hello boys? Cigars come in boxes, Bourbon comes in cases.  You could look it up on Bing.com if the site was actually working.

Danica Patrick Signs Man Boobs. I May Have a Shot!

Published on May 29, 2009 in Advertising, Baby Boomer, Entertainment, Health and Technology. 1 Comment Tags: , , , , , , .


I think Danica Patrick is cute. Not hot. Not sexy. Not slutty. Just cute.

I’m getting old.

But in her latest commercial for Boost Mobile, Danica Patrick says I still have a shot to have her go motor-boating in my man boobs.

Because we all know, what is in commercials actually happens in real life.

Bob Parsons

Bob Parsons

Even if Bob Parsons, the GoDaddy.com guy, doesn’t. I think he thinks that throwing lots of money at Danica Patrick to appear as a stripper in his commercials will get him a shot.

News flash Bobbo. My man boobs have a better shot than your money.

I saw it on a commercial.

Which BTW: Boost Mobile sounds like a plan I need. Now I just need to score really cool unlocked phone for a buck and a half.

PS: Danica Patrick will make the move to NASCAR and eat their lunch.
