posted by Ana Samways at 12:06 pm
WTF? You know how people like to get toys for the dogs and cats? Well now horse owner can play catch with Phar Lap too. Watch the video of the Equi Spirit Ball.
Celebs: Whether it’s the cocaine or the starvation, Mischa Barton needs a Jimmy’s Pie.
Not doing anything for V-Day fellas? You should join the Facebook group A Consortium of Pub-going, Loose and Forward Women.
Tragic fires near Melbourne are caused by Victoria’s abortion laws, say religious nutters. Fortunately, Richard Dawkins responds. (Thanks Jan)
The art of breathtaking bullshit: “Last year Pepsi spent several hundred million dollars on a new logo. Everyone figured they had just ripped off the Obama logo. But now an internal document from the branding company has surfaced…” Go here.
A new site is causing a stir: This Is Why You’re Fat posts submitted pictures of revolting high-calorie food, like deep fried coke, the meat ship and the bacon doughnut.
Video link: A near miss in Britain as a dude from Essex jumps the barriers and comes so close to being fatally pwned by an oncoming train. Was all over the news last night; go here for this and other close calls.
Simon Dallow debuts on the FAIL blog.

The horse ball was fantastic! I was a bit concerned at one point that the horse was going to stumble and hurt itself, but it seemed to handle the ball pretty well.
I think all animals kept in captivity would benefit from toys to keep them stimulated. (Yes, I have toys for my pet fish.)

What kinda toys do you give a fish?
February 12th, 2009 at 1:52 pm
Fishballs

That Pepsi branding document is taking the proverbial out of itself, surely? “The gravitational pull of Pepsi” sounds like something dreamed up by Prentiss McCabe.

I couldn’t watch it after 2 mins and that was stretching it.

Give Jan a break – she had her hair done especially.
February 13th, 2009 at 5:35 am
Did she pay to make that recording herself? The worst, absolute worst I have ever seen!

I am irresistably drawn to awfulness. Thank you Ana, I devoured every second of that video clip. Everything was satisfyingly bad – the hair, the singing, the lip synching, the music, the lyrics, the editing, the location, the acting, the leather suit on a generously proportioned woman, the corny story. Fantastic!

Dude is such a rebel parking under the no parking sign.
And she’s got the voice of an angel.
