Will - Thanks for the description of the 2 girls 1 cup video. I vaguely heard the title here and there but never paid much attention to it. I then started seeing all these reaction videos and it got me curious as to what this video was about. Now that I know, I think I'll just skip it.

"Dewmocracy"...somehow I never pictured a super-sugary soda and "Blade Runner" being lumped together.

Ideas for new Dew flavors: Diabetic Coma, Obesity Orange, Wired Watermelon, High Fructose Fat-Ass, and Your Dentist's Monthly Payment On His Jag.

Yes Will, thank you much for sparing my eyes and memories. Sadly those are the things you can't 'unsee'.

Hey - Tree Man has to be PhotoShopped! There's no way he can get the shirt he's wearing over those hands. I'm doubting that story.

Thank you for telling us what was in that video. All I'd heard was "you DON'T want to watch this" which, of course, makes me want to watch it...though I'd like to think I learned my lesson with tubgirl! Now, my curiosity is assuaged, and I don't have burned retinas! Thanks so much!

Will. re: the article on adding facebook friends to people you hate. You can actually control how much of your information is displyed to your friends and can even set specific people up to view a very limited profile. I have that up and I think it's one of the best things about facebook. You can be friends but you don't have to let your friends see everything if you don't want to.

Good question about the maglev wind turbine: How can you lose with a wind power company under the guidance of Mr. Blow?

That made me laugh. I hadn't made the connection myself.

The description almost made me sick, glad I've skipped the video.

The bionic arm article was a great find, thanks!

i can't remember if i originally saw this on Clicked? . . . but since the Facebook Beacon creepy advertising thing is being discovered by the great flock of sheep, it might be cool for them to know now that someone's come up with a way to block it:

From the Wired blog about the new system of radio ratings:

"The station that had occupied the top ranking under the diary system -- the "urban"-focussed WBLS -- plummeted to the 12th spot."

Now I'm waiting for Al Sharpton and Jessie Jackson to start whining and screaming about racism, and picketing Arbitron over this.

I have been playing the DEWmocracy game. It is fun and really creative! While I am not a huge soda drinker, I think it would be awesome to win and be able to choose the next drink - name, color and flavor!

I think this a great idea...crowd sourcing could work with soda, why not? I bet it would be a great flavor. the game is pretty cool too, reminds me of second life.

No way "Tree Man" can be for real!!!!!!!!!

As bizarre as the condition looks, maybe Tree Man is for real. It's apparently happened to others (http://petricapatilea.directnews.ro/bird-man/). Although Discovery Channel was involved there, as well, which does seem like something of a strange coincidence.
