Around the World in 120 Seconds: 60 Years of Ferrari

Ferrari celebrates their pedigree with Shell in this beautiful ad that was shot in several amazing cities using a vast history of their art and power in motion. It is rumored that this ad rivals a Chanel ad for the most costly ad ever made. They shot in Rome, Monaco, Rio, Sydney, New York, Hong Kong, and London. Turn the sound up to eleven and listen to the symphony of rev-tones spanning 60 years of stallions!

Schizophrenic Music Monger: Room Eleven

Room Eleven is a unique group. They are from Amsterdam and are basically jazz with a bit a bit extra here and there. Their tastefully done cover of Meredith Brooks Bitch is below.

Child Exploitation 101: The Landlord

I guess Will Ferrell and his buddy are helping launch a YouTube-like site and this is one of their first short films.

UPDATE: Had to just put the link to the site as the Funny or Die player Autostart=false feature is not working. So much for being like YouTube! Click on the picture to see the video

Talkin' About Senior Citizens

I think old people are kinda cool. I used to teach basic computing at the Senior Center in Eau Claire, Wisconsin and then did a little in home tutoring and consulting of many Seniors interested in learning computers. This world completely under-estimates them. Sure some are set in their ways but a majority are eager to learn new things and share what they have learned too. I'm not sure who learned more during our sessions, but I can tell you computer tutoring for profit is much better when you get cookies and dinners as perks.

BFG: Ode to the Mini-Gun

By far one of the most elite weapons to date, the Mini-Gun is one of the most awe inspiring BFG's ever made. It was made the new-hotness by ARR-NOOLD in the Terminator 2 movie and brought to light again most recently by Jesse James in one of his stunts. Shooting one is on my list of things to do before I die. The rate of fire is...well just look for yourself.

Robot Domination Countdown: Oh No, There goes ASIMO...

ASIMO by Honda is one of the more advanced robots out there today, still does not quit have it all as seen below. But don't poke fun at it as it will soon enslave us all and when it does you might be stuck disco dancing with it.

Robot Domination Countdown: Transformers Trailer

Another teaser trailer for this years upcoming robot blockbuster. I'm starting to get concerned, but still hopeful that it will not suck.

Politics and "Clueless Bozos": Lee Iacocca

These days I am a bit of a fence walker when it comes to politics. I don't like taxes but I also don't like our President that much. Now a guy I do like is car designer, turned super manager, turned CEO, turned spokesman, Lee Iacocca. He has a new book out and therefore is on a press tour and he gets to say things like...

"We've got a gang of clueless bozos steering our ship of state right over a cliff, we've got corporate gangsters stealing us blind, and we can't even clean up after a hurricane much less build a hybrid car...I hardly recognize this country anymore...George Bush doesn't have common sense. He just has a lot of sound bites...he prides himself on being faith-based, not reality based. If that doesn't scare the crap out of you, I don't know what will."

And he actually supported the Bush 2000 campaign since he is old friends with Dubaya's Daddy, the Big G! If I could choose a second Grandpa he would be it.

Story is located on the Freep.

Your Second Amendment Right to Blow Shit Up!

Some might call this a waste of many types of resources, the first one coming to mind is ammo. I would call it a heck of a lot of fun. Each year Dry Creek Arizona and Knob Creek Kentucky have gun shoots that are pretty epic in comparison to shooting at pop cans on Grandpa's back 40 with your pump-up bee-bee gun. Someday before I die my brother Scott and I will attend one of these shoots and yes we will waste a lot of ammo.

Ninja Olympics: The Unscene Events

I know it is a long video but it is worth watching the whole thing. The guy in this contest makes the American Gladiators show look like kids on a playground jungle gym.

Yippee Ki Yay Mother Fucker!: Die Hard(est?) this Summer

In what is sure to remind me just how bad the Die Hard sequels 2 and 3 were, this summer John McClane will be back on the big screen with what looks to be an orgy of impossible action sequences and lucky escapes for the bad ass New York cop. Lucky for me I actually like the character of John McClane that Bruce Willis plays even if the character keeps escaping reality and anything remotely close to possible. But hey, its a movie, its not supposed to be reality is it? Yippee Ki Yay!

Lego My Miller! Lego of it Now!

Lego-bot to pop the top. Tasty for the lazy and weak.

When You Are Too Drunk Too Walk, Might As Well Drive

"Man, I'm too drunk to drive, ...I'll just put on some tunes and sleep it off for a bit... Go Phillies!...(yawn)..Goooo...Phillieeee...Zzzzz...Zzzzz"
