Computer humor

If you're any sort of self-respecting nerd, you will enjoy this site of "hacked" classic art. It was featured on slashdot, so don't get all pissy and say I didn't tell you.

Regenerist?

Back when the first resident evil came out, I went to see it at the Rainbow. It was around the same time that Oil of Olay was marketing their "Regenerist" line of whatever cream. The Resident Evil creators did a little spoof of that product and threw before the movie (when they usually play commercials). They called the product "Regenerate" by the Umbrella Corporation. I thought it was a commercial until they started talking about it "bringing dead cells to life" with "t-cells." I thought it was pretty funny, but I never saw it again. I figured Oil of Olay threatened to sue their pants off for associating "Regenerist" with zombies. After all, Oil of Olay doesn't want anyone to think that Regenerist will turn people into lickers!

"olol im soo hapy reggenerest maeking my sk1n is babysoft!~one"

If you have no idea what I'm talking about, you haven't seen the "commercial." Here it is:

So finally the point of this post; Today I saw an ad on TV for a new product from Oil of Olay: "Olay Definity Eye Illuminator." Here's the product I saw:


I instantly noticed some similarities when I saw the bottle:


On one side, maybe they have a sense of humor.
On the other side, maybe we'll be seeing some lickers right away.

Looks like a hotdog? Says who?

I was at 7-11 the other day for the purpose of buying beef jerky. To pass the time, I observed the greasy cylindrical "meat" things dancing on the hot rollers while waiting for my turn to get my portion of bad service. I idly skimmed over the the little cards to see what their inventory of meat-inspired products was (clearly you cannot identify such food without being told specifically and explicitly what it is). One of the products made the claim that it "[looked] like a hot dog, [tasted] like a cheeseburger." I was a little put off when my focus found its way to the objects on the roller; it might taste like cheeseburger, but it sure doesn't look like a hot dog.

Fast and loose with the defintion of "hot dog;" glad it doesn't ship with little bits of corn in it.
