"Own" A Lot Of Stolen Music? It’s Payback Time.


The other day Darren Barefoot’s conscience kicked in and he started feeling guilty about all of the stolen music in his collection. Did he call up the RIAA and apologize? Nope. Instead he created Dear Rockers, an internet forum for giving musicians their monetary due. We just sent REO Speedwagon a nice handwritten letter and five bucks. Cha-ching! Thanks to The Walrus for the tip.

Stolen Baby Jesus Recovered Via GPS


In a heartwarming holiday scenario, a baby Jesus stolen from an Orlando Nativity scene was tracked down by means of a GPS unit with which the baby Jesus had been outfitted. Authorities followed the savior’s signal to a house where Danielle Santino, 18, soon turned herself in to police. The girl will be charged with grand theft and the babe was promptly returned to his manger. If you live in or around Orlando, watch the local news on Channel 6 for updates.


Microsoft’s MindQuest Recruitment VHS Tape


This here little viral video, entitled MindQuest, was put together by Digital Kitchen for Microsoft in an attempt to drive traffic to their Hey Genius recruiting website. While they do a nice job with replicating some far out 80’s graphics, the video just isn’t as boss as Eyeball NYC’s P.O.W.E.R. promo video from like, a long time ago. Of equal note is the fact that many people firmly believe that Window’s Vista actually runs on the simulated analog technology in MindQuest. Ooops.

Free Breast Augmentation To Lure Women To Bike Show


For every ten girls we know that love motorcycles, we easily know ten (of the same) girls who would die for a free boob job. Ralph Roades (no pun intended) of Wide Open Motorcycle Magazine must know the exact same ten girls that we know. Thus Ralph was inspired to take advantage of these ten ladies’ desire for larger mammary glands in an attempt to get them to show up at his sausage-fest of a bike show in Kansas City. Beep beep!


When Will Amy Winehouse Die?


It really is a reasonable question (all signs point to yes) so some enterprising interneters decided to hold an internet contest. Go to www.whenwillamywinehousedie.com and enter your best guess. You might win an iPod touch. Slightly wrong and all too right all at once.

Meet Violet Beauregarde’s Biological Father


A while back, Paul Karason was just lucky enough to find a Golden Ticket inside a Wonka Bar he purchased at his local candy man’s bodega. And the rest is history… suffice to say he’s not running the chocolate factory.


All I Want For Christmas is More Chris Christmas Rodriguez


We really hope Chris Christmas Rodriguez makes another holiday appearance this year. We’re pretty sure the shoe print has faded from Great Aunt Lorie’s face by now and we’re pretty sure that she still smells like Shalimar and cat food.Watch the whole series.


Senator On-Line: An Experiment in Aussie Politics


The first truly democratic political party? A few months ago, a newly formed, bipartisan, Australian political party received official recognition from the Australian government. Senator On-Line, or SOL, offers a completely new model for the democratic process. When an SOL candidate is elected, a website will be created that will allow registered voters (from any party) to log in and vote once on every single bill or issue. The SOL senator will then cast his or her vote in line with the majority vote of the on-line poll. Wow, one man, one vote for real.
