Merry Christmas from PoF and Wham!

Um, stand up for Jesus?

Btw, in case our reader thinks that the PoF cabal meets secretly to come up with posting themes, let me assure you that mine and James' pee-related posts are purely coincidental. Our secret meetings have much more important matters as their focus...

It's all pipes

I'm probably playing with fire by posting an environmentalist promotion on a libertarian blog, but I have to give the Brazilians points for style and practicality. I was green before it was cool.

Accenture cancels revised Tiger ads

PoF News: Accenture announced it is breaking up with Tiger Woods, but it's a difficult break-up. In fact, the company even briefly toyed with launching a new ad campaign that would reflect the changed atmosphere around the beleaguered golfer. Thanks to the same folks who raided email accounts to bring us Climategate we have a sneak peek at this ill-conceived effort:



Thanks, Charles!

Then how about a smile?

In a culmination of my hopes and dreams, I've now become a POF Blogger. And so, I'm pleased to give all of you a Christmas present, straight from the heart.

Customers love new laptop steering wheel desk

The AutoExec WM-01 Wheelmate Steering Wheel Desk Tray attaches to your steering wheel for easy access to a writing and drink storage surface.

Here's an excerpt from one satisfied customer's review: "I use it as a 'mini-bar' when the friends and I go out to the bars. I can quickly fix multiple shots of tequila for myself and the friends as we drive from one bar to the next. We also discovered that if you place a pillow on top of it and turn on the cruise control you can catch quick naps on the interstate."

Give it a ponder.

Ok, so I'm a sucker for viral ads.

Are you a traceur, too?

Becoming Batman

Last year author E. Paul Zehr released Becoming Batman, a training manual for how an average joe could achieve the physical transformation necessary to be a superhero. Earlier this year, a trailer debuted on YouTube for a new feature film documenting just this process.

Thankfully, though, you don't have to wait on the movie to come to your local theater. You can watch all of the episodes leading up to this point here.

All politics is local

I'm sorry for posting this

And surprised it has not been seen round these parts before if our trusty search function is any indication:



Evidently this was a staple on Letterman for a while. It's practically a gift for late night comedy.

Yes, let the mighty eagle soar. John Ashcroft, we knew ye far too well.

Where the Dirty Hipsters Are

The real question is: where aren't they?

Drunk Ewoks make for good tv

Via Warming Glow: "The hosts of 'The Today Show' dressed up in Star Wars costumes for the typical 'here’s how you can decorate for Halloween' segment, and they hired a couple people to be in Ewok costumes, which was a nice touch. An even nicer touch? This email from a friend of mine: 'For what it’s worth, a friend who works at the Today Show confirms that they were both midgets and drunk.' *looks skyward* Thank you, God!

"It takes a while for this video to get going, but the payoff provides all sorts of unexpected delights. Ewoks fighting, moonwalking, leg-humping… If George Lucas had made the Ewoks like this in Return of the Jedi, it totally would have justified their existence."
