Pulp Xmas - Ok, I'm probly gonna blow it here, but, fuck, I thought this was funny. Stole it from Boing Boing, which I hate usually because it is an assholish wankety shit-suck-me blog of ego heads with zero talent, but I still thought it funny aside from the poorly dubbed soundtrack. A mash up of Rankin-Bass Rudolf shit avec Pulp Fiction. It requires Quicktime y'all more inside

I want to work for Huh?® - "Our main consulting strategy is to convince clients that we do stuff they can't do themselves, and that we deserve lots of money for it. The best way to do this is to always look good, and always sound like we know something you don't. Because we do. Our CEO is rarely in his office, and all female team members are expected to sleep with him, or at least pretend like they want to. Our designers ride Razor scooters around the office, while wearing mail-bag style backpacks to hold their iPods." Via Bifurcated Rivets

Victor Yushchenko was NOT poisoned - he's an alcoholic. In an earlier MoFi post we discussed the claim by the Vienna clinic that Yuschenko was 'definitely poisoned'. Facts: There has never been a case of death from dioxin poisoning, ever. Dioxin is not water soluble, & would be readily observable by sight & smell. Yuschenko wants to delay the investigation in case it 'affects the election' - it already has affected the election! The Austrian clinic's 'definitive' conclusion of poisoning was released by the administrative head of the clinic, not the actual chief medical officer - who was forced to resign due to his criticism of the 'poisoning' idea. Fat soluble dioxin would be absorbed by many of the organs, including liver - yet Yuschenko's dioxin levels have apparently "returned to normal" & there are no traces of it in his liver or pancreas. This is totally impossible. More reasons in the linked articles within. more inside

A Little Perspective on $191 billion for Bush - One dollar is roughly 6 inches long, and 2.5 inches wide. It's about as thick as a regular piece of paper. Now imagine a stack of dollars 500 feet long, 100 feet tall, and 125 feet wide.

Tim Burton's Charlie & the Chocolate Factory - teaser - Our first look, I guess. I don't see how anybody could do better than Gene Wilder's manic, slightly disturbing performance as Wonka, but Burton certainly has the sensibilities to do more justice to the story. I suppose one can't have the best of both worlds. But this actually looks.. intriguing. Via Boing Boing more inside
