Culture: In a world of bizarre porn parodies, this TMZ one takes the cake

  • Ron Jeremy as Harvey Levin. No, really. Obviously, we’re a safe for work site and we’re not linking to a porn site, but we’d be terrible at our job if we didn’t inform you of the existence of TMSlease, a parody of TMZ (and celebrity culture in general) which takes a look at gossip culture through porn. Ron Jeremy, by the way, does a great Harvey Levin parody. (The link leads to Gawker, BTW.) source

Offbeat, Tech: The Onion: Apple invents a iPhone visible only to the loyal

  • Not only is this our lightest and slimmest model ever, but as any truly savvy Apple customer can clearly see, it’s also the most handsome product we’ve ever designed.
  • Apple CEO Steve Jobs • In an Onion parody, talking about the company’s new iPhone 3GI, which is invisible to everyone except Apple’s most loyal customers. This article came out right around the time of the invention of transparent aluminum, so you laugh now, but just wait a few years until it’s real! • source

  • Tomorrow, the fate of our alt-weekly’s ownership may finally be decided, again. While Creative Loafing brass are hugging it out in Atlanta bankruptcy court, CP staff will be busy proving that we still deserve our paychecks. We’re spending the whole day writing about #^%#ing.
  • Washington City Paper blogger Amanda Hess • Describing her paper’s chosen way of dealing with the impending possible demise of her paper’s parent company, which is going to be in bankruptcy court tomorrow.

Offbeat: People say the dumbest things at job interviews

  • When you do background checks on candidates, do things like public drunkenness arrests come up?
  • A job interviewee, when asked if they had any questions • That big idiot, along with 42 other idiots (who said such wonderful things as “What do you want me to do if I cannot walk to work if it’s raining? Can you pick me up?” and “I saw the job posted on Twitter and thought, why not?”) are a big part of the reason why the unemployment level is so high in this country. Right? Anyway, read this list and laugh, kids. Laugh. • source
