Best. Billboard. Ever.
As many of you know, I drive a long distance to and from work every day. Well, now I have this billboard to greet me on my trip down I-93 South into Boston each night and it puts a huge smile on my face. It showed up three or four weeks ago and I finally stopped last week to take some shots after work.
At night, Ignignokt is illuminated by black light, which is probably the first time I have ever seen this done. During the day, he’s his usual green self. He’s censored all the time. Click that link for better detail.
And, it gets better. An Err billboard showed up last week on I-93 South after Boston. I am going to try to get some shots of him this week.
This show might pretty much suck now, but this almost excuses it…
ATHF: “Hand Banana” and “Dickesode”
Last night I finally got all caught up on the TV that recorded while away in Cali. That included the two new episodes of Aqua Teen Hunger Force. I missed the first since the fancy hotel TV didn’t have Cartoon Network on the menu.
Anyway, they were both so totally over-the-top and disgusting. I loved it. Carl gets totally victimized in both. I don’t want to give anything away, but I’ll bet they are both over on YouTube, so you may want to do yourself a favor and check them out.
Do it at work if you feel like getting fired.
YouTube Googled Up
I almost laughed out loud when I saw the breaking news today. I’m sorry, but that is an insane amount of money to pay out for something like YouTube.
Sure, the kids like it today, but give it another year and something else will come around. Are they going to make enough money off advertising or in free marketing dollars of their other properties, which is really unnecessary since everyone uses Google, to justify this?
They should have bought up MySpace while they were at it…
Take down the Citgo sign?
I suppose I am helping this idiot in a very, very, very small way — after all, my readership sux — but I can’t help but post a link to this story on boston.com about the Citgo sign. You know, I’m not entirely certain Chavez isn’t a little bit right about Bush being the devil and I think this is further proof of a politician doing anything to get press, but whatevs…
Here’s a link to the Citgo web site page about the sign.
Pink Taco Stadium
From the “you can’t make this stuff up” folder, I give you the story about a restaurant chain named “Pink Taco” trying to secure the naming rights to the new Arizona Cardinals football stadium for 10 years @ $30 million. Gee, I wonder why the Cardinals might not take them up on this offer. Could be because if you do a “pink taco” Google image search, you either get hits for pr0n or MySpace pages…
I wish I could find the original article I read about this earlier in the week, but I could not so this one is close enough. You can read their official press release or simply check out their website. It’s actually an entertaining Flash site with music, babes and Lucha Libre wrestlers. Founded by the Hard Rock Cafe family, it would appear to be related to Mexican food like Hooters is to wings.
Wouldn’t you know, the owner’s son is attached to Lindsay Lohan for the moment. Anything for publicity I guess…
The Mini-shows are Coming
As I alluded to in my previous aside, you need to start preparing for new ways to have advertising in your face in the TiVo age. Here’s another bright idea from some other stupid executive somewhere in La-la land. It really is only a matter of time before they start showing ads during the show or as a ticker down the bottom…
ABC Executive on Crack
You know, it’s a bit too late in the game to start thinking this way, but this stupid ABC asshat believes consumers see the fast forward on a DVR/TiVo/Media Center as “gravy.” What crack is he smoking? It’s a feature and they find a way to hobble it, I am going to be pissed. Of course, then they might start running ads and popups and crap during the show. Another example of the geniuses running Hollywood.
Hey, why don’t you just take away my remote altogether. I mean, it’s just gravy that I don’t have to get up and press the buttons on the box. I’m sure the television manufacturers will go for that too.
Angels v Devils
I was just reading busblog and Tony pointed out that on 06.06.06 the Anaheim Angels played the Tampa Bay Devil Rays. Wait, the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim played the Tampa Bay Devil Rays.
Yeah, so was it coincidence that the Angels played the Devils on 666? The Angels won 12-2, so I guess we know who’ll win when Armageddon slash The Apocalypse slash whatever you want to call it should it actually happen, right?
Helluva Party
Go and see the creepy new version of The Omen or party in a town called Hell on 6.6.06.

Mooninite massacre
Someone noticed Err or Ignignokt today after they had been in the wild for two weeks or so. Since this person had no concept of who or what they were, they cried bomb!
“Yes, surely it is a bomb! Look at him flipping me off like that!”
Now, I understand the concern for the public’s safety, but we aren’t talking about an abandoned suitcase or unassuming cardboard box on the street here. We are talking about little signs, magnetically attached to some structure. Okay, so maybe not such a good idea to affix them to bridges, but hey, if you get a good peep at it, doesn’t...
