Brilliant.
For an even more revelatory experience, play the song while following along.

Trio of Pop Punkers Cover Bed Intruder
– August 26, 2010Posted in: Internet Phenomena, Music
Bed Intruder quickly become ensconced in my top 10 songs of the year from the moment it was released 3 weeks ago. The autotune the news team are talented musical arrangers.
Now, Hayley Williams (Paramore), Jordan Pundik (New Found Glory), and Ethan Luck (Relient K) have taken it upon themselves to cover the song in the only musical style they could have – pop punk.
I <3 my early-mid 2000′s pop punk bands, but this power chord heavy version lacks a certain je ne sais quoi. In fact I’m going to go ahead that the only reason this cover is noteworthy is because of the performers’ celebrity status.
What do you think? Does the fact that “the girl from Paramore” and “the guy from New Found Glory” covered the song make it any more “legit”?

I Weep For Humanity
– June 16, 2008Posted in: Internet Phenomena, Video Games
Many of you may heard of Will Wright’s upcoming “revolutionary” game, Spore.
Some of you may know that EA is selling the “Creature Creator” portion of the game later this week (for $9.95) so people can get a head start on making their own creatures for the game.
A few of you may have even downloaded the leaked demo of said Creature Creator which has 25% of the body parts for you to play with.
But I guarantee that none of you are prepared to view the creation in the video above. It scoffs at all of the amateurs who hastily created penis or even goatse creatures as their first creations. Instead, it serves as the torchbearer for what the human spirit can accomplish on the internet.

A New Internet Catchphrase Is Born
– June 12, 2008Posted in: Internet Phenomena, Politics
I don’t know how I missed this earlier this week, but Fox News anchor, E.D. Hill, calling Barack and Michelle Obama doing a fist bump, a “Terrorist Fist-Jab” is definitely one of the pottiest things I’ve heard all year.
Sadly, Ms. Hill has lost her show. On the bright side, she’s coined a catchphrase that will surely linger on the interwebs for years to come.

The Wu-Tang Clan Launch Chess Community Site
– June 4, 2008Posted in: Internet Phenomena, Music
I wouldn’t be the first one in line to join a social network for either chess or The Wu-Tang clan, but shit, if you combine the two? I’m there. Especially when the tag line for the site is:
WuChess taking the game of life to the next level.
Wuchess promises the ability to play live chess versus humans or an AI, partcipate in tournaments, social networking, create chess clans, or even play against the RZA, the GZA, and the rest of the Wu-Tang clan.
Unfortunately, this fun is going to cost you $40 up front per year to join. I really wish they had a free portion of the site to try out as $40 is a pretty big investment to ask of new users without letting them test drive it.
Hopefully cooler heads will prevail and they’ll open up the site soon.

Weezer Is Good At The Internet
– May 23, 2008Posted in: Internet Phenomena, Music
Although their new single Pork and Beans has been out for awhile now, Weezer has just put the finishing touches on the video for the song. It pretty much includes every internet meme over the past few years – kinda like that recent South Park episode.
I gotta say though, I was pretty impressed with the inclusion of the Gi-Joe PSAs – that definitely gives Rivers and Co. some intarweb street cred.
