In case you missed it, this is a viral video for Absolut Vodka. I find it odd that a viral video can have a roaring tiger graphic and yet still be to subtle.

Now if they could only come up with a Takashi Murakami tablet…

The Fog of War is Soupy and Delicious

It may appear by my recent activity that the vicious war of wars between Ian Webster and myself has subsided. I assure you that nothing could be further from the case. The fact of the matter is much of or fighting has taken place aboard on the stealthy, ninja like war-craft that is instant messaging.

I am sure that metaphor made perfect sense to me before I wrote it down.

Here I have compiled scenes from some of Mr. Webster’s greatest war crimes… against me.

First, allegedly in retaliation for something I did, Ian targeted my hometown of East Stroudsburg PA. Alert the U.N. because apparently he is threatening a nuclear strike!

Next, totally unprovoked, Ian stole a hair from my toothbrush and began work on his most ghastly scheme. This time Ian has violated not only the rule of law, but also the rule of science and possibly some other rules.

As you can see in this photo acquired by one of my many spies, Ian has effectively taken my DNA and combined it with some kind of hideous giraffe bird! What can his reasoning be? What kind of vile creature is the Ian Webster??

Well, this next photo will answer that question.

As you can clearly see. Ian Webster chats online with Hitler. Even worse, Hitler is on Ian’s buddy list.

Mr. webster, I await your response.

Central Park Has Junk In It

In the interest of entertaining you, my reader, I went to Central Park to find something interesting to write about. It was there that I came to a startling revelation. Central Park has junk in it!

Today Dawn and I visited the Central Park Zoo. Yes, you heard me right. Central Park has a Zoo… In it! Even more amazing is that there are animals in the Zoo… The Zoo that is in Central Park!

At The Zoo we saw a huge Polar Bear. Just one look at him and you could tell he was so happy just to have such a sweet pad on the East-side. Sure, it was 90 degrees outside, but he had a pool and everything! Who has a pool on the UES? Lucky bastard.

We also saw an amazing group of arctic monkeys. They are so human-like its freaky! Of course I’ve never seen a human being falate themselves in front of a bunch of children. Well, at least I’ve never seen a human being falate themselves in front of a group of children that wasn’t on the A train.

Perhaps the most amazing sight of the day came not in The Zoo, but on the walk to The Zoo. As we crossed the park from Columbus Circle we saw a couple of tourists riding in the back of a rickshaw. The driver cheerfully explained that he had moved to New York because “He worked in the Film Industry” and he “did lighting and cinematography.” It was inspiring to hear someone so young was able to work in such a competitive industry. He obviously only drives a rickshaw for fun… when its raining… and he needs to eat a meal.
