Once Were Warriors
Tuesday, May 22nd, 2007A staggering film for the violence, the drama and the amazing acting. An alternative glance at life in New Zealand. Here’s one scene. There are many like it. Jake the Mus is a guy you root for one minute and you hate him for his violence towards others the next minute:

A case for getting regulators to blog.
So banner ads do work. Handy. Means maybe that Google ads that are not clicked on will still be effective and won’t cost you anything.
Lesbians everywhere will find this of interest:
This guy is lucky. He wins a car, re-enacts how he won to a local TV crew and then… watch and see:

Monday, May 21st, 2007It was bound to happen and it has. Someone has posted a video reply to the earlier clip I posted and they seem to have synched it too with the speech. Some cruel people out there.
Update: Via Votetube – Holy fucking shit! The original Brady video but with different Audio as done by DublinNorth.

Special Adviser to John Bruton now special adviser to Mr. Tayto
Monday, May 21st, 2007Anyone else notice that the guy in charge of the Mr. Tayto election campaign is listed as Roy Dooney? Is this the same Roy Dooney that is listed here.
From 1994 to 2001 Roy was special adviser to the Leader of Fine Gael and Taoiseach, John Bruton TD. His knowledge of the workings of government is unsurpassed.
Roy was a political training consultant in Albania from March to June 2001 with the Washington based National Democratic Institute.
Too easy to make comparison jokes between Bruton and Tayto, isn’t it?

Rock the Vote is not the golden haired boy. They’re even spamming Twenty. John dislikes them too. Least their sugar-daddy loves them. Long time.

Hugh Macleod Business Cards – Every asshole should have one
Sunday, May 20th, 2007I’ve been bitten by the Macleod bug and have shelled out for a few business cards from Streetcards.
Side A:
Side B:
The reaction has been interesting, some people laugh out loud and pocket the card. Some laugh out loud, pocket the card and then you can see them saying “What a fucking wanker” to themselves. The 3rd kind look at the card and tell me it is not funny and business people should take business seriously yadda yadda yadda. The 4th kind laugh at the card and then tell me I’m an asshole. I can work with these people the best.
Still, whoever I give the card to, there’s always a reaction, unlike when I get cards from most people where it’s a mechanical movement from one wallet to the other without any brain cells being stimulated. That’s the good thing about Hugh’s work, it always fires up those neurons, be it cards, suits or wine.
At least it’s not like the scene from American Psycho:
Edit: Howdy Hughsters!
