How to be a real man

The funniest ad we’ve seen in an age and it’s for men’s deodorant. “What’s in your hand? Back at me. I have it. It’s an oyster with two tickets to that thing you love!”.

The Funniest musicians on Twitter

Not all musicians and singers on Twitter use the service just to plug their latest eye-scratching, ear burning album or gig. Some, like these folk below, just get on with making us laugh whether they mean to or not.

Who: Nick Cave (@nickcave)
Why?: A fake account set up by a knowledgeable fan who revels the dark brooding stereotype of the famous singer.
Sample Tweet: “Drinking a Pumpkin Spice Latte and scribbling in my journal. What rhymes best with apothecary? Mortuary? Marionberry?”

Who: Weird Al Yankovic (@ALyankovic)
Why?: The original pop parodyist gets a new lease of life on Twitter posting funny links, pictures and random musings. The most common topics are his wife and celebrities.
Sample Tweet: “Didn’t see anybody famous sitting in First Class. If this plane crashes, I am TOTALLY getting the headline!”

Social Networking – The Movie (Huh?)

Look, I love social networking but this has gone too far! Variety is reporting that David Fincher is interested in directing an Aaron Sorkin-scripted film for Columbia Pictures about the formation of Facebook called The Social Network. Oh dear. yes, David Fincher – the guy who directed Seven, Fight Club, Zodiac and the frankly-awful-I-don’t care-what-anyone-says-one-eye-on-the-Forrest-Gump-Oscar The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Come on. Aaron Sorkin has even setup a Facebook group about the proposed movie.

According to Variety:

The film will focus on the evolution of Facebook from its 2004 creation on the Harvard campus by sophomore Mark Zuckerberg to a juggernaut with more than 200 million members.

Is a website, no matter how awesome and hands-across-the-world it happens to be worthy of a movie? What next?? Twitter: The Movie?? Uh-oh. Too late. Have we not learnt from our past? Movies about the internet and computers are not cool. Remember Hackers? Sandra Bullock in The Net?? Please David Fincher and Aaron Sorkin learn from these awful movies… (more…)

Kings of Leon on Jools Holland – What really happened

After our Kings of Leon covers post on Monday, this video has come to our attention. Everyone knows* that the band employ a bunch of musicians behind a screen off-stage to play the songs live because they are such incompetent musicians but when the band appeared on Jools Holland, he demanded they play themselves resulting in this abomination…

*This may not be strictly true..

Also….

Coldplay and Metallica get the same treatment.

Linkage: The world’s most stylish 8 year old?

1. The world’s most stylish 8 year old?
   Arlo Weiner is not your average eight year old unless eight-year olds suddenly started wearing red velvet suits, argyle and ascot ties this morning – url.ie/1bgk
2. Stunning photos of billboards. (No really)
   The remit of a photographer includes showing us parts of the world we can’t see for ourselves. These perspective-based photos of billboards by Branislav Kropilak are a stellar example of that ethos. url.ie/1bgp
3. Movie Poster tricksters
   Adding or subtracting one letter from a movie poster can significantly alter its meaning. I’d pay to watch Angelina Jolie in The Cone Collector, wouldn’t you? – url.ie/1bh2
