If you don’t know the story by now, US Presidential wannabe, Rich Santorum, famously pissed off Nerve reporter Dan Savage by comparing homosexuals to just about every type of sexual degenerate. In turn, Dan Savage made Santorum’s name the definition for something really gross. Dan Savage isn’t a search engine optimization (SEO) expert by any means, in [...]

To say that Aaron Wall of SEO Book has a personal vendetta against the behemoth search engine company, Google, is an understatement. Over the years, he has blogged and spoken with the passion of a man that is trying to get children out of coalmines about how Google doesn’t follow its own rules, favors big corporations, and [...]

Internet folk thrive on controversy, they just can’t help themselves. Even in a medium that is based on the easier access to facts imaginable, a good controversy will trump any and all facts and logic, leaving a trail of destruction and carnage in their wake. Oddly enough, the geekiest and most fact based group of [...]

So, there appears to be a bit of a kerfuffle (damn I love that word) over everything from intellectual property rights to copy rights and internet memes and all kinds of legal crap over whether or not the new Chevy ad below stole its concept from the popular blog, DearPhotograph.

Let’s get one thing clear right from the start – people are assholes. Which people you may ask? All of them, all people are assholes. Me, you, them. All colors, all races, all creeds, and all religions. When it all comes down to it, we’re all a bunch of assholes. The biggest assholes of them [...]

Let me break your heart with something: Google doesn’t care what you do. Google isn’t interested in anything about you. Google doesn’t actually know who you are. At all. So, when you see video’s like this from Microsoft, remember that it was made by one of Google’s competitors who trying to spook you out of using [...]

When I’m not writing high prose for this site, I’m an internet marketing consultant, so for me to make a “What the hell’s a ‘beezid?” style joke would make me just completely out of touch with the current state of internet scams auction sites. That said, this site is about bad commercials and brother, let [...]

We’ve all seen the video… The Ray’s third baseman, the unfortunately named Evan Longoriai grabs a stray hit during batting practice with his bare hands and then goes right back to the interview. It’s been picked up everywhere from sports show to comedy sports shows and is just short of 4 MILLION views on YouTube. [...]

I didn’t consciously know it at the time but Novi High School, just like pretty much every other school in America, ran on social currency. It’s a simple system. Everyone has an account with a starting balance dependent on your rung of the social status ladder. You make deposits, like being able to buy liquor at age 15 because [...]

I remember when Whoopi Goldberg was actually funny. There was her very first breakout routine “”Direct from Broadway,” which debuted in 1985. Then in 1989 came “Fontaine… Why am I Straight?” Even 20 years later in 2005 her special “Back to Broadway” still had very strong moments. Agree with her politics or not you have [...]
