Are you a big fan of the legendary and mythic Ghostbusters? Well, now you can own Ecto 1, the official Ghostbusters car (it’s actually a 1959 Cadillac). Over here you can buy this beauty for about $150 000. That might sound like a bit too much, but a true believer and fan (and semi-millionaire) would not blink an eye at the asking price.
This is a very random entry and a very, very random toy / gadget. But it does look kinda fun, so we thought we’d add it here.
This is an inflatable iceberg that you can add to your swimming pool, for a whole new fun swimming experience. Three of the sides has grips for climbing, ranging from beginner to expert difficulty, whilst the fourth side is a slide to catapult yourself back into the water after you’ve conquered the peaks of Mt Iceberg.
It however costs just a fraction below $9000 and you’ve got to have quite a big pool as well… Still seems fun though!
For the past 7 years reality tv has dominated the tube bringing with it an array of different shows including Survivor, Big Brother and Idols.
At first we were in awe of this new trend of tv realism, watching ‘real’ people in not so real situations without the glamour of scripts, make-up or special effects. But after almost 10 years these types of shows, is there anything left to see?
We’ve seen a wig mad real estate tycoon make and break the careers of the power hungry, two blonde bimbo heiresses run amok, wannabe singers, exhibitionist house-mates, money hungry island refugees etc. We’ve seen everything, right? Wrong.
A television network in The Netherlands is planning a new first - a dating programme for the visibly disfigured.
The broadcaster SBS 6 is seeking candidates for its Love at Second Sight show due to be launched on February 20 of this year. According to SBS 6 the aim of the programme is to remove prejudice about these people, to create more acceptance and respect and, of course, to find the love of their lives.
But the majority of Dutch viewers are turned off by the show that was initially set to be called Monster Love. A poll by the mass circulation De Telegraaf daily showed 85% do not like the idea, with only 9% in favour.
I think I agree with the Dutch masses. Yes, the show might want to address certain prejudice, but putting a group of handicapped people on tv just to create a new kind of reality show, to me is just sad.
According to the above ad, for JBS Underwear, men don’t like to look at other naked men. That’s quite obvious, but we must say that the creators of the ad took a bit of creativity to bring that message across. Really not a bad ad at all and the model they used is pretty sexy as well. Although the fart at the end (hope you watched the vid before reading this) was a bit predictable, it still has a good ending. And isn’t the model smelling her fart (apparently like men do…) just a teeny bit gross?
Sometimes when I’m bored, I like to be the uber-geek that I perhaps am and really use the broadband, always-on Internet access at the apartment. This means that I will randomly seek very random stuff, just to keep busy. The good news is that sometimes there is really some kind of “reward” at the end.
Now, this little video I found over at YouTube is the intro to the fake Ghostbusters TV show (Researching the issue about this being the fake show, I found out that Filmation and Columbia Studios had a lengthy legal battle regarding which version of Ghostbusters was more legal). Yes, I realize that this is a kiddies show, but I actually remember watching this show when I was younger. Gotta love that ape character and also that skeleton telephone. Anyway, this might be nostalgia or just plain silly, but enjoy the video anyway…
