Spock found God
Not only is he the new voice of Priceline.com, he has found God and taken pictures of her. Finally, proof of the existence of God and how she poses for Nimoy's photo sessions on a regular basis. I'd been wondering about that--thanks for clearing that up. Now go back to cutting the remix of "Proud Mary."
Speaking of the Hall of Shame, Apple has decided to censor iMixes on the iTunes Music Store. If you have no clue what those are, it's a great marketing tool for Apple. Users create music playlists and upload the list to the server where other users can browse and buy those songs. J. Love & BernDog published "One to Tango," a playlist of songs loosely related to masturbation. Featuring songs like the DiVinyl's "I Touch Myself" and Billy Idol's "Dancing with Myself," the collection stirs controversy in the battle over poor taste vs. censorship. I personally think it's hilarious, but it follows on the heels the uproar over Apple's rejected iPod engravings.
All this is, of course, petty in the big scheme of things...like the fact that we're still at war. The atrocities continue, including the videotaped beaheading of an American by Al Qaida in Iraq. The video is all over the Internet. Watch it here, but only if you think you can handle the brutality.
