AKA: a piece of a larger picture.

Fade In:

A 30-40 year old man stands at a drop point on a factory line. He is intently waiting for the product that he is testing to drop onto a flat, padded panel directly in front of him. A chute market correct is on his right, incorrect on his left. An 8 ball drops onto the testing pad. He immediately picks it up, starts shaking it…

Testor: Should I have come to work today?

He looks at the 8 ball.

8 ball: Ask again later.

Testor puts ball aside onto an empty egg crate looking shelf and presses release button on machine. A second 8 ball drops onto testing pad. He picks it up, shakes it and asks aloud…

Testor: Will I get a raise?

8 ball: Not likely.

He throws the 8 ball into the chute marked “Correct”

This goes on through a series of questions ranging from “Will the Republicans stay in office?” to “Will they bring back Who Wants to be a Millionare?” He seems to be indeterminately choosing which 8 balls are correct and which are incorrect.

After 5 or 10 8 ball Q and A sessions he picks up the 8 ball on the shelf and asks out loud…

Testor: Should I have come to work today?

8 Ball: Yes.

Testor thinks about this for a minute, shakes the 8 ball vigorously and looks around to make sure no one is watching. He leans in close and asks…

Testor: Am i determining the future of this reality by dictating which answers are correct and incorrect on little plastic balls filled with a non-toxic ooze or am i just diluting myself into believing that this actually works? In short, can i change the outcome of any series of events by predetermining if the 8 ball is correct for others? Will my judgment based on a randomly selected series of nonspecific questions actually determine other people’s reality, or are they paying me for nothing?

8 Ball: Step away from the pipe.

The man thinks about this, looks around and puts the ball down the chute marked “correct.”

Fade Out.

This video is super creepy but if you watch it you’ll learn a valuable lesson about bicycle safety. I would have embedded it, but wordpress is a cruel mistress.

A blender company has created an unusual ad campaign that seems like it is picking up traction. I have lots to say about viral marketing, youth trends, and on-line distribution, but don’t really feel like writing about it right now. So without further adieu. Will it blend?

BTW, CP this is what I think about Transformers.

Here is me. At Quik-E-Mart. Yes, that Quik-E-Mart. Yes, that is a Squishee in my hand. Yes, it was delectable.

Unfortunately they didn’t have duff beer, but they did have squishee’s (pictured) astroman comics, buzz cola, sprinklee doughnuts and krusty o’s cereal.

For now on, when I say something particular poignant and dramatic, this is what I want you to envision. BTW - having sound helps.

I would like to believe that I support our troops, but I haven’t done anything to show them our support other than voting to get Bush out of office and writing a couple of letters to my congressmen imploring them to find a reasonable, quick solution to the debacle in Iraq. None-the-less, here is a funny video about complacent people that believe they support our troops because the stick a yellow ribbon on their SUV.

Sorry people, it takes more than a small gesture to show real support for our soldiers. Bring ‘em home and let real, honest diplomacy take over.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

EXXON PROPOSES BURNING HUMANITY FOR FUEL IF CLIMATE CALAMITY HITS
Conference organizer fails to have Yes Men arrested

Imposters posing as ExxonMobil and National Petroleum Council (NPC)
representatives delivered an outrageous keynote speech to 300 oilmen
at GO-EXPO, Canada’s largest oil conference, held at Stampede Park in
Calgary, Alberta, today.

In the actual speech, the “NPC rep” announced that current U.S. and
Canadian energy policies (notably the massive, carbon-intensive
exploitation of Alberta’s oil sands, and the development of liquid
coal) are increasing the chances of huge global calamities. But he
reassured the audience that in the worst case scenario, the oil
industry could “keep fuel flowing” by transforming the billions of
people who die into oil.
