Back in the ’80s Hair Metal was huge with bands like Poison, Bon Jovi, Quiet Riot, Twisted Sister and Van Halen to name a few and I always thought it was because of their big, teased, frizzed out hair and looks like I might have been wrong. They might have gotten their look not with a comb and sh!t load of hairspray, but the bass watts. When the bass is played at 40,000 watts it will make the straightest hair go berserk. So that’s how all those hair metal bands got their hair!!!
BTW I just bought a bass so I can make my hair fuller like that.
Britney Spears, American Idol wannabes and Jennifer Lopez, you better watch out because there is a robot that is coming to take your jobs. According to Daily Mail HRP-4C aka Divabot can sing, dance, jump and walk the runway, and her movements are created by using a mouse. Plus the only demands on her backstage rider was oil and a heart. Much easier to accommodate than Mariah Carey’s rumored diva needs.
I was blown away by how realistic she is, she seems even more real than Rihanna, sings better than Paris Hilton and Heidi Montag and has more moves than Taylor Swift. Wait a second I wonder if the original Divabot is Katy Perry? I’m joking…or am I?
It is incredible what the are doing with robots these, they have one for sex and now one that can sing and dance. If you combined the two we might have the next Madonna. Too soon?
Bodymax (appropriately named) has come up with a pair of male briefs that enhance a man’s genital area! Bodymax described them as, “Maximise your look with our shapeware range for men. Specifically designed to visibly enhance your shape.” After seeing these pictures, I now finally understand how guys feel about the deception of the WonderBra. I would be bummed to think that a guy was really built down there and then when I got him back to the bedroom find out he really wasn’t. That was be a major let down…
So Sheriff Joe Arpaio in Phoenix, Az has come up with a way to get his inmates to exercise. He is making them pedal their way to watch television according to KSAZ. That’s right he is making them pedal on a stationery bike to power up the 19″ television. While I don’t find that cruel and unusual punishment, I do find their channel selection is that. You are get them exercise and then make them watch the Food Channel? That seems wrong. But not as wrong as making them sweat in a tent to watch the Weather Channel in a city where the temperature reaches 120 degrees in the summer. I am sure they want to know that it is hot as hell outside. But those channels are not as cruel and unusual punishment as their third channel option…C-Span. That channel will make them wish their bikes aren’t stationery so they can pedal right out of that tent. Even politicians don’t want to watch C-Span.
Now back to the concept of Pedal Vision. I think it is brilliant. If I had to pedal my way to watch television, I would be skinnier than the actresses on 90210. Too Soon? Also if I have to pedal my way to watch television, I would probably be watching less TV. For example biking for 3 hours a week to listen to the American Idols destroy my favorite songs, I think I would mute them out of my life. If I had to pedal 3 hours a week for Dancing with the Stars, I would dance that show off my TV. Desperate Housewives, Grey’s Anatomy, Melrose Place, 90210, Private Practice, America’s Next Top Model, Gossip Girl, One Tree Hill, The Simpsons, Two and a Half Men, Smallville, Parks and Recreation and Jimmy Kimmel Live all gone. Wait how did that last one get on there? If I had to work out on Lost, I would be even more excited that show is almost over and then I would think that is how they have to watch TV too and I would feel for them.
So would your pedal for your right to watch TV if you had too?
MindSign Neuromarketing is a company that measures people’s brain activity to see the effectiveness of consumer marketing. “At MindSign Neuromarketing they use our brain response technology to provide our clients in the advertising, entertainment, political, and software industries with data revealing what their target consumer is thinking while using their product, and seeing their ads.”
The company posted someone’s reaction to the much anticipated Inglourious Basterds’ trailer and as you can see by their reaction of the axial, sagittal, and coronal planes that person is as excited as I am for Quentin Tarantino’s WWII epic movie starring Brad Pitt and Eli Roth. Seriously how f*cking cool is that technology!
On the Final Destination 2 DVD, one of the special features is they measured a person’s brain activity as they watched the death scenes in the movie to see if they really scared the crap out of people and it did! I thought that feature was one of the coolest things I ever saw on DVD, so I think it is really neat that MindSign Neuromarketing is using that technology to measure consumers’ reactions to trailers and TV shows.
If you check out MindSign Neuromarketing’s YouTube Channel you can so other people’s reaction to other trailers and TV spots and none them were as excited at the different videos as they were for Inglourious Basterds!
BTW both Inglourious Basterds and Final Destination: Death Trip 3D are coming out on August 21st and that is too much excitement for my brain!!! My brain map would be full of color if they measured it about August 21st!!!
