Offbeat: Put a box of wine in a microwave, and watch the sparks fly

  • Well, that certainly lived up to the billing. We were actually thinking of testing this ourselves, but then we realized it might just be a stupid idea. In fact, it’d be downright fermented.

Offbeat: Doritos’ “Crash the Super Bowl”: Keep your hands off my mama!

  • It’s a contest looking for a winner. Doritos’ 2010 “Crash the Super Bowl” contest, which picks winners from the likes of YouTube, produced this funny face-slappin’ cute kid clip, along with a bunch of others. It’s crunch time. source

Offbeat: Someone already managed to doucheify “Pants on the Ground”

  • Protip: If you sound anything remotely like Jason Mraz or Jack Johnson when you play guitar, your fingers should be webbed together using Crazy Glue so you can’t share your “gift’ with the world. Don’t ruin the greatest song ever, dude.

Offbeat: Arrest us: We currently have our “Pants on the Ground”

  • This is the greatest viral video by a crazy guy ever created. We would argue it’s the greatest viral video ever created, but we don’t want to build it up too quickly. It has everything. Even a very good dose of late-era “American Idol.”

Offbeat: Legal male prostitute has way too high of an opinion of himself

  • It’s just the same as when Rosa Parks decided to sit at the front instead of the back. She was proclaiming her rights as a disadvantaged, African-American older woman. And I’m doing the same.
  • Shady Lady Ranch employee “Markus” • On his new job as a “gigolo” (since he doesn’t want to be called a prostitute). Yes, because legal prostitution is exactly the same thing as civil disobedience. Remember right before Parks died, she sued Outkast for naming a song after her? Can we bring her back to life so she can do the same thing to this guy? Because he totally deserves it. source

Offbeat: Al Gore, while not president, is powerful enough to get a font changed

  • Well, in the book there’re a lot of examples of scientific nomenclature and this particular numeral one is causing confusion when it’s combined with capitals.
  • mgmtdesign designer “Michael” • Speaking to Typotheque about Al Gore’s desire to get a font – Brioni, which he picked for his book “Our Choice,” by the way – changed slightly, because it looked like a little capital “i.” So, they changed the number one for Al Gore. Awesome. source

Offbeat: Creepy people, shut-ins impressed by Roxxxy the Sex Robot

We know that girl just barely got her head in there, but if we cut any lower we risked showing Roxxxy the Sex Robot sitting in an unladylike position. Sorry. source

Offbeat: In Vietnam, Google’s there when you need it most

For some reason, you can buy Google-brand toilet paper in Vietnam. The virgin pulp paper does the job better than its competitors because it’s well-engineered. source
