Amazingly Epic Test Result
I really can’t remember where (or even when) I found this gem, but I use it as an academically motivating tool to earn the grade.
Jihad on you
Timing, poor taste, or just inciting more violence in the Gaza Strip, Jihad on You! is a website that allows users to vent daily frustrations by issuing a “jihad” against things that annoy them. A notification is sent to the infidel of your choosing acknowledging that a “Holy War” has been declared against them, for example’s sake, let’s say Justin Timberlake. Users can both rate and comment on current and high-rated jihads.
Although one wonders if a borderline defamatory site dedicated to satirical jihads would have much of an impact on our perception of Islam and the notion of jihad, which technically means an internal struggle (such as an addiction to alcohol or tobacco). Site’s pretty to look at though…
Swedish Television Host Vomits Live
This has been circulating around the interwebs for quite sometime and I’ve only yet to post it. Eva Nazemson, a hostess for a Swedish Television Game show (in which players call in or text to win prizes, if it were only that simple…), vomits twice while on air and WHILE tending to a live caller. Career Killer? Perhaps…

iPod Nano catches Fire, still looks hip
Danny Williams, a Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport Employee ( a mouth-full), was taken aback from a rather smoking iPod Nano that unexpectedly burst into flames thanks in part to a faulty lithium ion battery (the very same that caused problems in notebook computers).
“If TSA had come by and seen me smoking, they could have honestly thought I was a terrorist,” said Williams.
Seems as if the HOTlanta Native is on easy street as Apple has vowed to replace the charred Nano virtually free of charge. Now, that’s commitment to customer satisfaction

WTF Magazine
According to BoingBoing, Finland just went public with their first issue of WTF magazine. Now before pretentious stalwarts of the online world are quick to decipher the acronym, I’ll have to burst your bubble. The Magazine’s initials stand for Welcome to Finland. Hilariously quaint.
Nazi-Time
Thanks to Gabe for showing me that even oppressive Military Personnel such as the Nazis had time to get-get down…MC Hammer Style
The Flames of Greece
For the uninformed, Greece Officials have been battling a a fire that’s lasted for nearly 5 days now, thanks in part to supposed arson that’s left more than 60 people dead. The BBC always posts lovely pictures and has a few dedicated to such a horrific crime. Somber look, indeed.

It’s made out of what!?
Found this on The Register and needless to say Republicans aren’t too happy about this British artist’s depiction of our current (not for long) Commander-in-Chief. If you look closely at the image, you’ll realize that across Bush’s face is strewn from right to left with naked bodies of women (men?) which according to the article was taken from pornographic clippings. Probably pr0n mags, dig? Jonathan Yeo, you dog, you.
The work was unveiled yesterday at London’s Lazarides gallery, which explains the motivation behind the thought-provoking piece: “Yeo was commissioned to undertake a portrait of US President George W Bush, but was later told his services were not required. He decided to continue the commission on his own…”
