The Ebay Song

To those who know the Backstreet Boys Single, "I want it that way" will know that this song apply to many aspects in our lives. Humans are domineering creatures and we want many things to be done "our way".

So, Weird Al apparently took the initiative to make a remake of this song into for contractual purposes to be done in Ebay. This video that I am about to show you has hit 17 million views in Youtube and the views are still climbing due to its humorous interpretation.



Who says that the Backstreet Boys could only sing love songs?

Which Cola Do You Prefer?

Do you like Pepsi? Or Coke? Pepsi has been trying their utmost best to defeat Coca-Cola at this marketing game. At some times, they get fed up and they want everyone to start drinking Pepsi overnight. They turn into desperadoes who want a larger share in the soft drink market and designed a commercial that is wild, shocking and extremely humorous.

It is all about a small boy with plain innocence who stars in this commercial. Frankly speaking, I am not sure if he is really rich after shooting for this commercial. Who knows? He may be a millionaire now?

Take a look:



Maybe you have seen this commercial before but I just want to highlight to you that Pepsi is still trying their best to defeat Coco-Cola, Dr Peppers and the other cola drinks by asking world-famous celebrities to star in their commercials. It doesn't matter one bit if you are an Asian or a European. It is only important if you are famous. David Beckham, Britney and Beyonce have all joined the Pepsi Fan Club.

I do love Pepsi too. But, why do I have to give up Coke for Pepsi? Having an alternative is better, right? After all, they taste different?

Boots Is A Murderer!

Do you like Dora the Explorer? She is a rather famous Nickelodeon character for educating young children. While we sure don't require a mascot or some sort, "Dora the Explorer" has clearly shown that there is a reason why adults spend much money on their children. Never heard of Dora before? Take a look here:

Why Dora seems so interesting is that she is able to converse with a Monkey who can be declared to be just as intelligent as herself. This monkey (her sidekick in the show) is also known as "Boots". Why I am putting this post up today is because I feel the need to highlight the violent aspects of our educational characters. Some sick mind (maybe like mine) decided to go put up a totally different Dora show that will make children cry. You don't understand what I mean? Just look at this 8 second video:



Go up to Youtube today and make a simple search for Dora the explorer. You should see many videos that are linked to violence, gunfire and expletives. While I am not trying to sound like some jerk here, you need to know that our education system is simply evolving. And this evolution is not due to the changes which are made by our respective governments. It is more like we are stepping into the minefield without knowing it. All of us are making major changes by browsing the internet!

Almost anything can be found online and this has caused several adjustments in our lives. I mean, why do you bother to go to the Library to find out more about elephants when you just need to do a basic search on Google? Similarly, I need to say that we are exposing our children to more trouble without realizing it. This is probably serious. But, hey, there is still a need for entertainment for people (like me)?

Crap, I better end this post before I start to contradict myself again. Anyway, Kudos to the person who made the video. It is not encouraged to post up such videos with such graphic content. But, I got to admit, he is freakin' talented.

Political Runway

I was searching for new stuff online that would be really interesting to you and it seems that I did hit the Jackpot when I was itching for some hot political debates. This video below just demonstrates another way of people mispronouncing. It can get pretty irritating sometimes but I rather let the video do the talking this time.


In my opinion, this is one of the best videos in Youtube. By the way, I found the picture of Youtube's headquarters. Take a look:

Youtube's headquarters look pretty domineering. I wonder if I have the chance to work here someday.

Hey, doesn't Youtube's headquarters remind you of a certain reputable political building?

Fugu, Fugu, Fugu

Is it worth getting killed over eating your favorite dish?

I am talking about a dish that is related to Japanese Cuisine. For the visitors who are still unfamiliar with Fugu, I can tell you that it is a horrific nightmare.

Fugu is a Pufferfish dish that is favored by most of the Japanese people. Not only it is ridiculously expensive, the Fugu is an extremely dangerous fish to eat.

The Japanese chefs who are trained to prepare this dish have to undergo a training for three years for safety measures. Unfortunately, there are still people who died after eating it.



Talk about being crazy about fish. The question that is probably burning will be "If everyone wants to eat a dangerous fish, why hasn't someone concentrated on finding a cure for the Pufferfish venom?"

It's all the researchers/scientists fault. We are all afraid of enjoying the delicious Fugu because someone hasn't found a cure yet!

The thing about Fugu is that the whole Pufferfish can be enjoyed in an eight course meal. Most Japanese people like their Fugu raw. I admit that I don't have the guts to try Fugu, I do like my fish raw. Salmon and tuna sashimi works for me anytime.
