On Seinfeld, George Costanza went to a lot of trouble trying to save his “world-record” 860,630 high score on Frogger using a gerry-rigged combination of caution tape, batteries, extension cords, and a guy named Slippery Pete. In the end, his Frogger was mowed down in the street.
If you’re a stickler for detail, that episode never seemed quite right because it wasn’t clear how they’d gotten the Frogger unplugged from the wall and plugged into the extension cord without powering the machine down.
Now with Wiebetech’s new HotPlug you can jack into the power lines or the power strip feeding your favorite video game machine and take it away. Here’s the video of the HotPlug in action:
I’m not sure I can go on…
Video of Morgan Spurlock playing on the Actual Reality Pictures / FX show 30 Days. What happens to an apolitical slacker when he spends 30 days with Stephen Colbert? Classic work! A perfect bunch of Friday Laughs.
Don’t forget next Wednesday’s finale of 30 Days when Spurlock goes to jail for 30 days. It’s on FX, Wednesday, August 30th at 10PM E/P.
[UPDATE] So that whiny bitch, Stephen Colbert got his corporate cronies at Viacom to boot this video off of YouTube. Now it no longer appears here. I guess we’ll just have to use mega-network Comedy Central’s lovely website to watch the clips they select for us. What a joke. Look, Comedy Central, your show The Colbert Report would not have achieved its current level of popularity without US.
Colbert repudiates his Daily Show history, convinces Jon Stewart to apologize for The Daily Show and puts Stewart on notice. Classic.
Congressman Robert Wexler (D-FL 19th District) gets the Colbert treatment, reinforcing the belief that a Congressman will do anything to get on TV. “I enjoy cocaine because it’s a fun thing to do…I enjoy the company of prostitutes …because it’s a fun thing to do. If you combine the two together, it’s probably even more fun.” – Wexler
It’s rather sad that American Idol contestants get more media training than our elected representatives. Happy Friday, everyone!
