‘Impeach Bush’ chorus grows

March 31st, 2006 at 8:29 pm by johnsee (Around the World)

THE movement to impeach President George W Bush over the war on terror began with a few tatty bumper stickers on the back of battered old Volvos and slogans such as “Bush lied, people died” on far-left websites. But as Democrat hopes rise of gaining control of Congress this autumn, dreams of impeaching Bush are no longer confined to the political fringe.A poll last week found that voters, by 50% to 37%, would prefer the Democrats to win control of Congress. If Bush’s opponents find themselves in a position of power, the temptation to humiliate him is likely to be irresistible.

Xooglers

March 28th, 2006 at 4:48 pm by johnsee (Online)

Xooglers is a blog I’ve been watching for a while now. With google growing at the rate it is, and Microsoft looking like it’s in more and more trouble every day, it’s interesting to hear an inside view of what happens inside the googleplex. The blog is written by ex-staff of google, writing about different events that happened whilst they were at the company, as well on their thoughts on current google news. I find it interesting that these employees, despite pointing out where google has gone wrong, still seem to have a strong sense of loyalty and pride to the company.

Saddam More Popular Than Cruise

March 27th, 2006 at 6:07 pm by johnsee (Movies, Around the World)

tomcruisesouthpark.jpgTom Cruise is even less popular than Saddam Hussein. The Mission Impossible star was voted the person people would least like to go camping overnight with in a recent poll. The actor took a massive 41 per cent of the vote in the survey, conducted by Stuff magazine, ahead of the Iraqi dictator.

It is not the only unwanted accolade Cruise has scooped in recent weeks. The Hollywood heavyweight recently suffered the embarrassment of ‘winning’ a Razzie for his outrageous behaviour in 2005. He was awarded the newly-created Most Tiresome Tabloid Target prize at the ceremony - which acknowledges the year’s worst films and stars.

Where The F*ck Are You?

Do you think the Where The Bloody Hell Are You ad campaign doesn’t accurately represent Australia today? Do you think we’re forgetting about:

  • Ethnic Beach Fighting
  • Free accommodation at detention centres
  • Baby Eating Dingos

Downwind Media have a great remix of the ad available on their site, which well… represents a different view of Aussie tourism

Pimp My Wheels

A company is offering LED rims for cars, which displays a message on your rims as you drive. Despite the wheels spinning, the message stays static and doesn’t appear to spin. Whilst I’d assure the market for these to be quite small (MTV shows anyone?) I suspect many advertising companies may jump onto these as an innovative way to advertise new products

Jesus Asked to Change his Name

March 26th, 2006 at 6:24 pm by johnsee (Humour, Around the World)

jsus.jpgBosses at a Stockholm hospital have asked a nurse called Jesus to change his name, after concerns that it might cause confusion among patients.

According to Jesus, an auxiliary nurse at Huddinge hospital, his superiors were worried that patients told “Jesus will be coming soon ,” might get the wrong idea.

“If they thought that Jesus was coming they might believe that they were already dead,” the nurse told The Local.

Jesus, who will now use his middle name Manuel, said he didn’t have a problem with the change.

Good News Everyone!

March 21st, 2006 at 9:28 am by johnsee (Site News)

Sorry for the slow news lately. I’ve just invested in my own webserver, and I’ve been transferring a lot of sites around. This also includes sandstorming, and also means we should be able to bring a lot more cool things your way soon. It’s going to help us work on many sideprojects, and lead to more cool stuff for you!

If anyone wants us to look at hosting for them, or has a cool idea with what we can do with our spanking new server, let us know!
