Microsoft Thanks Porn Industry
Ok, they didn't, but they should. Depending on which part of the world you live in, Blu-Ray may have been the ruling force in HD media, especially Australia. However, in the latest turn of events, HD-DVD is back on the scene bringing new players and a cheaper price. But why? Porn, that's why, at least according to the reporting at the Herald Sun.
Although the porn industry has had an impact on the success of the HD wars, can we really thank the XXX industry for going cheap? The common clown puncher can't tell the difference between the quality of a Blu-Ray or an HD-DVD, so of course price will be the winner. It's odd thought that, in other parts of the world, the HD-DVD player has been leading the sales of HD media at almost 4-1.

What Stole Your Time?
I hate the interwebs, just as much as I love it/need it. The problem I face on a day to day basis is my inability to stay focused, RSS feeds be damned. I hate tangents yet I'm constantly riding the virtual surf.
My latest list of distractions:
- World of Warcraft Damn you Blizzard!!!!11111
- 4x4 Flash
- WoW Wiki
- WoW Head Apparently this site is in the top 1000 in the world, the real world.
The above sites are only supplemental to the usual suspects. Digg, Digital Point, Reddit, you know who you are. I'm gonna learn to sue aforementioned sites like fat kids sue McDonalds.

It was planned, it was executed, and now it's a reality. The very first photo of Nails Jr. at 9 weeks 1 day old.

Ozzfest is FREE
Finally, someone gets it, rather someone is doing something about it. I give Sharon Osbourne a heart felt 'Thank You'. This may be the first year I make it to Ozzfest.
"We're reaching the same point we did years ago when kids no longer wanted to pay for overpriced CDs," compares Sharon. "As a result, they found alternative ways of getting music. That’s what’s happening with summer touring in this country, it’s out-pricing itself. We started this and we want to keep it and we want to make it bigger and bigger each year by getting bigger sponsors to be involved with the festival and underwriting the festival. That’s what it’s about."
Next, lower priced CD's! Ok, maybe not.

ATHF Bombtastic Advertising

If bad press is still good press, then Aqua Teen Hunger Force's attempt at viral marketing paid off in spades. If you've not heard yet, the Comedy Central 15 min cartoon has come under attack for mimicking bombs and other terrorist devices. Specifically in Boston where the flashing led Mooninite was seen as a threat, closing down highways and bridges.
It seems odd that no other reports came from other major cities such as New York City, where the same advertising was taking place. Beantown officials are so quick to pull the trigger. lol
Turner Broadcasting, a division of Time Warner, Inc. and parent of Cartoon Network, said the devices were part of a promotion for the TV show "Aqua Teen Hunger Force," a surreal series about a talking milkshake, a box of fries and a meatball.
"The packages in question are magnetic lights that pose no danger," Turner said in a statement, issued a few hours after reports of the first devices came in.
I wonder what Carl thinks about this mess? Nevertheless, I hope that Boston can see me flipping them off right now, because I'm doing it as hard as I can.
