Best if both worlds, you see...entertainment to fill the boring gameplay bits, and I don't miss The Who or the commercials!!
Tuesday, September 29, 2009 at 03:36AM As people continue to debate the relevance and value of Twitter, others are just having fun with it. Take for instance, the Washington Post-- they are making videos of "dramatic readings of celebrity tweets." And yes, they're really funny:
P. Diddy, Lindsay Lohan, Brooke Hogan:
Tila Tequila, Courtney Love, Jessica Simpson:
Solange Knowles, Miley Cyrus, Barbara Walters, Dita Von Teese:

I won't go so far as to call it hatred, but they annoy the mess out of me with their marketing campaigns and just flat-out weird ideas that are *this* close to being cool, but always miss the mark.
The latest WTH-are-they-thinking idea is to hold "House Parties" to pimp the launch of Windows 7. They have a website to give you tips, another site from which to download party favors, and a video overview:
Seriously? Ugh. First of all, they are totally TRYING TOO HARD. I'm not sure if they're producing these videos in-house or are actually paying a firm to come up with this crap, but in its attempt to look under-produced it's only coming off as totally hokey and over-produced.
I mean, would YOU honestly throw a party to show off a new operating system, print out signs, and "Download and print this fun activity" (true/false quizzes that promise to) "keep the party going!"
I'm pretty hardcore geeky and even this is out of my realm of cool. Or fun. Or even socially acceptable.
Microsoft, you have the lion's share of the market. Stop embarrassing yourself.

The hubby decided to get all philosophical up in the Twitter and posted this gem:
So naturally I had to seize the opportunity of a quiet morning at work and send him my response:
(why, Yes, I am feeling a bit under the weather and so I self medicated with lots of B-12 and caffeine-- why do you ask?)
