Bureaucracy Across the Pond

It's nice to see that ridiculous government bureaucracies aren't just here in the US, as this article shows. Though that's "nice" in the sense of "glad to see I'm not the only one being savagely mauled by that bear".

Of course, this is the region that requires a license to watch TV. But then, our Congress is looking at taxing virtual wealth in Second Life or Warcraft. Or maybe since the Democrats control Congress they'll focus on more important matters than the Republican-controlled Congress did.

OK, you can stop laughing now (and if you're not, you're delusional. Both parties are quite worthless).

Now, if Congress really wanted to make money they should just apply a $1/month tax on Warcraft accounts and some surcharge for the Warcraft CCG. That would generate a lot of revenue without touching "virtual" goods.

It's International Hasselhoff Day!

No, not really. But I wouldn't be surprised to see something like that get a lot of support. Especially from the Germans. Germans love David Hasselhoff.

Seriously - What are you people thinking?

Hey, I just had the most awesome idea - a duet album feature David Hasselhoff and William Shatner! As ridiculous as that is, I'd buy it in a second.

Spongebob is F'ing Metal!

(A few people will get that reference...)

Anyway, from the WTF Department: Wallpapers of Iron Maiden album covers with Spongebob substituted for Eddie.

I found that link on another blog but unfortunately I don't remember which one. Thanks to whoever that was!

My Eyes...They Burn! They Burn!

Watch the video for "Unicorns L.A."

You might want to have a spork handy for gouging out your eyes. And a pointy stick for your ears.
