blackberry shame is real

in today's edition of "the oldest news on the internet", the new york times brings us their latest trend piece, which addresses an issue that 2Pz correspondents DJV and (never trust) starla continue to struggle with on an hourly basis:

“I’m ashamed of it,” said Ms. Crosby, a Los Angeles sales representative who said she had stopped pulling out her BlackBerry at cocktail parties and conferences. In meetings, she says she hides her BlackBerry beneath her iPad for fear clients will see it and judge her.

The BlackBerry was once proudly carried by the high-powered and the elite, but those who still hold one today say the device has become a magnet for mockery and derision from those with iPhones and the latest Android phones. Research in Motion may still be successful selling BlackBerrys in countries like India and Indonesia, but in the United States the company is clinging to less than 5 percent of the smartphone market — down from a dominating 50 percent just three years ago. The company’s future all depends on a much-delayed new phone coming next year; meanwhile RIM recorded a net loss of $753 million in the first half of the year compared with a profit of more than $1 billion a year earlier.

shame shame shame.

thx bun-bun!

"butt-chugging" has a better ring to it than "alcohol enema"

look at this idiot frat boy trying to deny his obvious butt-chugging practices.

thx stevie!

i knew it!

i thought i recognized cosgrove's fiance and it's because it is 90's tween star alex mack! 

don't be jelly.

officially uncool : fireplaces.

“A wood-burning fire in the city is a ridiculous luxury — we would never have put it in ourselves,” said Mr. Arpels, grandson of one of the founders of Van Cleef & Arpels and the former managing partner of Netto Collection, a baby furniture company bought by Maclaren. “In the city, it doesn’t make sense to burn fires, because it’s inefficient and it’s polluting.”

Hard as it may be to believe, the fireplace — long considered a trophy, particularly in a city like New York — is acquiring a social stigma. Among those who aspire to be environmentally responsible, it is joining the ranks of bottled water and big houses. (via)

good thing i just ditched mine! thx g!

thx gerrbear!

too bad ke$ha doesn't have any R's in her name.

those crazy indians decided that using a simple R for their currency, the rupee, isn't quite sophisticated enough. they want a dollar / pound / yen sign. so they're just making one up.

here are the finalists. they're supposedly choosing today, but it's gotta be like 2am over there so im not sure if / when they're going to tell us.

which is your favorite?

want to be a part of something?

join me in boycotting michael jackson's posthumous single, "this is it"!

it's easy. don't follow any links that have the words "this", "is", or "it" in them. if you see michael jackson anywhere on your screen, hit the nearest x (or red dot, for mac users).

good luck, everyone!

what's for lunch?????

leftover pad thai.
crystal light.

don't be jelly. no, really.

well. this is awkward.

i'm glad i didn't care enough to set my alarm clock and wake up at 7.30am and go up on the roof to peep through my giant telescope, because what a horrible disappointment the NASA moon bombing turned out to be. all over the place, people were having viewing parties or making early morning treks to their nearest observatory to witness what was supposed to be a 6 mile plume of debris exploding off the moon's surface.

instead, not only could you not see anything from earth...you couldnt even see anything from the satellite that was following right behind the missile. thanks a lot, NASA. for nothing!

what if...

...someone with half a brain edited sarah palin's speeches (in their written form) into some semblance of compliance with the english language? ever wonder?

vanity fair has done just that with her recent resignation speech. enjoy!

thx jgm.

i dislike race mixin' and spiders.

lately i've been hearing news reports about a proliferation of white supremacists and neo-nazi websites and social networking profiles. but this one struck me as more humorous than disgusting:


jic you can't read the tiny text, i've reproduced it here:

about me: proud white man, twenty six years old and tired of the destruction of our clean white culture and heritage, the poison of the black culture in our society, and the illegal invasion of mexico into our sovereign nation.

interests: tattoos, exercise and racial pride.

dislikes: race traitors, mixing of the races, liberals, and faggots.

hobbies: reading, cooking, going to movies [...and of course] firearms.

cooking? going to movies? why don't you just throw shopping and sewing in there you faggoty dumb queer.

btw, this guy is in the military, so say goodbye to your tax doll hairs. (via)

"we dont go to the movies just to never tell anyone"

last night i saw transformers 2: revenge of the fallen.

it was a loud mess of robot parts, megan fox's boobs, sand, and lens flares. the action was fast, and the camera was always moving, making it difficult to get too clear a read on anything that was going on. the good news is that the story is paper thin and full of holes, so the less attention you paid the better off you were. there were incredible errors in geography and common sense and continuity. robots that we thought were dead aren't dead, AND... its racist. two of the new robots are twins that speak in a sort of jive/ebonics, claim not to read too much, and one has a gold tooth. apparently minstrelsy isn't limited to southern frat houses.

don't go see it. don't put it in your queue. just forget it ever happened.

0 biscuits.

twatter

perez hilton used his twitter account to beg strangers to call the police on will.i.am of the black eyed peas after he supposedly assaulted perez. um...if he could update his twitter, how was he unable to call the cops himself? will.i.am has posted a response to the accusation on you tube. good lord, have some self respect. (LA times)

how upsetting.

abercrombie + fitch purchased 600 broadway, which is home to the famed DKNY mural in soho. it's been in place since 1992, and depicts a pre-9/11 view of manattan. the nyc landmark was painted over yesterday to prepare the wall for a new hollister logo. this is the proposed image:

seeyuck.

that's too bad.

You can put away the panda bunting and stow the "butter stick" comparisons for at least another year. The National Zoo announced this morning that its female giant panda, Mei Xiang, is not pregnant. (washpost)

thx g.
