Great Scott!



It's quite a coincidence to hear this news after having attended a Back to the Future party over the weekend. The news is that you can buy yourself a new Delorean, starting at just $57,500. I think that's a pretty good deal, but I have no idea how good the quality of the automobile is. I know the company went under shortly before the BTTF movies were released, without which the Delorean would probably be long since forgotten. It's still pretty awesome.

Children Are the Future

I feel a little bit bad about making fun of this girl, but really, only a little bit. This was posted on WWTDD, but without subtitles. I think reading Miss South Carolina's response is even funnier than just watching it. Either way, it's pretty awesome, in an embarrassing way.



Hmmm, I wonder if she would be able to point out the U.S. on a map. Or South Africa. Or the Iraq. And, come to think of it, we should be known as "U.S. Americans", she's right. Brazilians, Uruguayans, Bolivians, heck, even Canadians all live in the Americas.

Google Continues Its Plans to Take Over the World

Everybody knows that Google provides lots of awesome services, and keeps adding to its already robust arsenal. Maps.google.com now has a "Customize Your Route" option, where you click on the blue line that indicates your route, and you drag it to whichever street you'd like to follow.

If you know that Google is taking you through an undesirable neighborhood, or you'd like to drive along the coast, rather than a nearby highway, you now have that choice. Give it a shot.

Only That Cartoon Cat from "Opposites Attract" Could Love Her

WWTDD has been posting clips of Paula Abdul's realty show, Hey Paula, lately. I usually feel kind of bad for celebrities whose privacy is invaded by paparazzi and even total wackos like Britney Spears, whose fame has turned her into a complete nut case.

But Paula Abdul has put herself in the spotlight and willingly participated in a show all about her. It's not painting a pretty picture. I have to say that it's pretty awesome to watch someone so self-absorbed keep crying about the most insignificant problems. Please watch this very mild example of her behavior -



You can click on other clips of the show after you watch the one above, like when she goes to NYC and weather keeps her hair and makeup people from flying and she blames everyone around her, all the while hysterically crying.

What's that? You want to watch "Opposites Attract"? Ok, fine. Don't start crying please. Keep your eyes peeled for some video magic. The cartoon cat smokes!

Family Guy is Kinda Like South Park, NO, It's Kinda Like the Simpsons

The Simpsons is the greatest television show of all time. I loved the Sopranos, but it's not quite as good. I am hoping to see the Simpsons movie soon, and I read a review of it in USA Today (they gave it out on the plane, that's why I read what should normally be used for wrapping breakable items to be shipped or for wiping your butt) that gave it 4 stars. So, it should probably be pretty awesome.

Here is proof that Family Guy is far inferior to The Simpsons. I'm sorry if you are a friend of mine and like Family Guy. There are many of you. In this regard, I regret to say that you are mentally deficient. They might be able to do a PET scan and determine exactly what is wrong with you, but this video evidence might just do the trick -







Ok, ok, I'll give you that the "zip zop zoopity bop" part is pretty funny.

Gizmoogle

People have been talking about Google's "Street View" a lot lately, which is pretty awesome technology and allows users of Google Maps to have 360 degree views of a street at eye level. However, a lot of people are worried about privacy issues, and this is, of course, part of Google's dastardly plan to take over the world.

Gizmodo has an article about the phenomenon and photos, sent in by readers, of the cars that take the photographs. Keep your eyes peeled for ones that look something like this -

Might I suggest giving the finger or pulling your pants down if you see one of these cars driving near you? Yes, I think I will.
