Ludacris: Obama is here (music video)

Listen up: "the world is ready for change because Obama is here"

That's what Ludacris says.

Or shouldn't it be: "Obama is here because the world is ready for change"?

And: "The world is going to change because Obama is here!"

I agree though. And it's great that rappers like Ludacris are onto something very relevant and timely. Think Rock the Vote --- except, in this case, it's Rap the Vote.

Why is Oil so Expensive? : Oil Addiction (Good Magazine)

For anyone who's ever asked why the prices of oil, gas and food are going up, here's a four minute video that explains how and why.



My economics professors could not have done a better job. (Maybe it's oversimplified -- but I think it gets the basics across wonderfully!)

A brilliant video from Good magazine.

Borat is now Bruno!

Sacha Baron Cohen is up to no good again as Bruno, a gay Austrian TV fashion journalist in America.

Expect lots of people to be had on cam... like Ben Affleck, for one. Gisele Bundchen though manages to escape.



If you thought Borat was bad (or really really good -- depending on your perspective), expect this to be even worse (or better!)

Here are some fashion people interviewed by "Bruno" -- watch until the last part and see how they talk about Paris Hilton. Priceless.



Here's what would appear to be Bruno's official Youtube channel.

Note: the movie (reported by most blogs as "Bruno: Delicious Journeys Through America for the Purpose of Making Heterosexual Males Visibly Uncomfortable in the Presence of a Gay Foreigner in a Mesh T-Shirt" is supposedly a mock-title made-up by Defamer according to Wikipedia ) isn't set to hit the big screen until May 2009 --- and yet the Net is full of Bruno videos. How's that for guerrilla marketing?

Funny phone calls: Brit calls police hotline to ask a very urgent question

The Brits are so darned polite, aren't they?

If this happened in the Philippines... er, no, it wouldn't and couldn't have happened in the Philippines, actually, because...

First, very few people would have remembered the number to call.

(... Quiz: Is it
a. 911?
b. 119?
c. 116?
d. 611?
e. None of the above ... answer: none of the above . It's 117.)

Second, there might not be anyone at the other end of the line anyway. Or at least that's how a lot of us tend to think... so we won't even bother calling.

Third, do any of us honestly think the cops can answer the question that the lady was asking?

Fourth, I think we'd probably just spam text all our smarter friends to ask the question. Cheaper and faster pa.
