Official End of the Rickrolling Phenomenon

Posted by Pete Berg on Friday, November 28th, 2008 at 12:24 am

Yesterday, on live TV, Rick Astley rickrolled the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade, officially ending the Rickrolling phenomenon. It was an epic win for the Internet, but like a college graduation or the loss of one’s virginity, it signaled the end of an era. Ladies and gentlemen, the Internet has won, and now rickrolling is officially dead.

Granted, by around April Fools Day of this year, Rickrolling had already become too mainstream to initiate “teh lulz’ that it once had (and many, myself included, were already declaring it to have jumped she shark) — but this, as I see it, was the proper send-off. Rick Astley was voted “Best Act Ever” on MTV, and then Rick Astley himself rickrolls everyone in America during her most sacred televised event. Now the joke’s over, and it ended in epic fashion. Please, please, please, please, please — for all that’s good and proper and holy in this world — let’s let this rickrolling thing end now when it’s on top. The rickrolling horse just died the most noble possible death. Let’s not desecrate its memory by beating it into oblivion.

Documentary: Money As Debt

Posted by Pete Berg on Saturday, November 22nd, 2008 at 8:26 am

Do you know how money is created? I mean, really know? I thought I did, then I watched Paul Grignon’s 47-minute animated presentation of “Money as Debt.” It tells in very simple and effective graphic terms what money is and how it is being created…and also how society is kinda fucked. This was a really interesting and eye-opening piece.

There Goes The Tool Bag

Posted by Pete Berg on Thursday, November 20th, 2008 at 12:45 am

During a spacewalk outside the International Space Station (ISS), a tool bag drifted away and became “lost in space” (it was irretrievable). I just think it’s funny that the keep using the phrase “tool bag.”

Here’s what NASA said about it all:

Chuck Norris Roundhouse Kicks Separation Of Church And State

Posted by Pete Berg on Tuesday, November 11th, 2008 at 2:29 pm

Remember when Chuck Norris and Chuck Norris Facts used to be funny? That was before Chuck Norris started campaigning for right-wing religious fanatic Mike Huckabee and releasing commercials like this, where he supports having public schools to teach the bible as fact.

PS: There’s a new type of Chuck Norris fact: Fuck Norris Facts, about how lame he is.
