Friday, June 13th, 2008Whoda thunk?
It seems racism is alive and well in…who’d have guessed…CANADA. I shouldn’t be surprised that at a time when a black man has managed to secure the Democratic Candidacy for President of the United States, there are people out there attempting to profit from the racist & bigoted attitudes that are still so prevalent. Yes, it’s a sock puppet of Obama that captures the vibe of the racist heyday of whiteface and “yes’m'boss”. The thing that surprised me most was that the product isn’t produced by some hayseed from the states; the domain is registered to Binkley Custom Products, of Hamilton, Ontario. Interestingly, the products’ home page proclaims: “TheSockObama™ is born and raised in the United States of America”. If you visit their main site at binkley-toys.com, it re-directs to customplushtoys.com, which for some reason (!) doesn’t seem to feature the Sock Obama product very prominently, although it has some peculiar items like the Alexa Jesus (whatever that means) and the macabre disembodied head of “Sgt. Paddy”, pictured here. If you want to contact them, here’s part of their Whois information: Robert Bishop – Binkley Custom Products. Tel: +00.19053128962 Fax: +00.19055474245.

The possibility of Microsoft and Yahoo teaming up was scary enough, but the new Yahoo/Google deal that’s hitting the business press today doesn’t seem like much of an improvement on the surface, except it’s not a full-blown acquisition. We’ve come a long way since those college boys created Google on those taxpayer-supported servers at Stanford, promising never to go public before their initial IPO a year later… Read the rest of this entry »
Moog Electric Guitar

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008Screw world peace, I want a Moog Electric Guitar for Christmas.
Why does Lou Reed get to try this thing before I do? The Moog Electric Guitar is like something I always fantasized about when my EBow would start feeding back. They’re taking pre-orders, but unless you have seven grand to get rid of, you’ll have to be content with watching the video for now.

Wednesday, June 11th, 2008Pretending he’s Irish?
To reach out to all the dumb white people in Red States, all he needs to do is change his name to O’bama, and claim he’s “Dark Irish”. In fact, I think I’ll call my hillbilly cousins in West Virginia and get the disinformation rolling right now.
