This is why I love Mailchimp. Ok, the service and interface design is great too, but the campy humor is adorable.

In the settings, they even have a “party pooper mode” in case you want to turn off the stupid jokes. People have to literally click a radio button to admit they are party poopers to prevent a cartoon monkey from telling awful jokes.

This is just about as close as you’re going to get to seeing a legitimate commercial service troll its customers. *golf clap*

Been in the mood to listen to Rage since the election.

RATM’s songs hold up amazingly well over time. Testify couldn’t possibly rock harder and the message is still relevant today. Unfortunately, it’s gonna be a long time before “mass graves for the pump” isn’t relevant political commentary in this world.

A lot of people remember the rock rap era as Kid Rock and Limp Bizkit shit, but I think of RATM and Body Count. Cop Killa! Cop Killa!

Ugh, downside on this nostalgia today is the sudden memory of Ice T as a mutant kangaroo.

Mon, 25 Oct 2010 09:58:00 -0500

Spambots are just stupid people. If we censor them, who next? The kinds of people who post on Yahoo! Answers? YouTube commentors? MMO forum trolls?

Marketers ought to support your robot brethren because first they came for your AI bots, then they’ll come for your outsourced Filipinos, and when they come for all the PR people there will be nobody left to defend them… except the analytics people who make a killing telling you marketeers what your metrics data actually means.

I’m just saying let he or she who does not profit from marketing and PR cast the first stone against the spambots.

Support roborights today. AI is not that much stupider than most people you know, and it’s not like you’d hate a person or ban them from the internet for being retarded, right? Do you want captcha technology to evolve in difficulty to where the average retarded person can’t figure out how to comment on most online communities? Do you hate the mentally retarded?

Ok, then. I’m just saying up with roborights. For more information about the roborights cause, check out the touching documentary based on a true story of one annoying little spambot that was programmed to SPAM LOVE. That’s right, spambots can spam love.

I’m paying more attention to Twitter now due to a new social media project, and every day Twitter shows me new people that are similar to me.

So far they have been creepy-accurate, first by linking me to a chick I’ve never met who just happens to be involved with one of my exes, and second by linking me to tons of work-related people I follow in RSS already. Today they topped themselves by telling me that I’m similar to MktgDoucheBag.

Kid B would say “sZing!” and I’d have to reply “sZinggggger!” because I just got pwned (and that’s how we respond to such things around here).

As a rider of public transit I must say that this is NOT cool. Please don’t consider a “captive audience” on a train or bus your ticket to viral video success.

Talented bands generally can get people to pay to see them, rather than resorting to ear-raping people who already have enough problems, like the statistically bizarre reality that at least one person on any form of public transit will smell like a) urine, b) body odor, c) weed and menthols, or d) white castle.

I’m not even sure I would like Tenacious D kicking it live on my commute home after 9 soul-crushing hours at a day job.

Fail for rudeness, and extra fail for a meandering awful bridge and strained vocals. Kids shouldn’t try to pull off a beautiful-day-era U2 pop song unless the singer can actually carry the build-up into something semi-climatic. Meh.

Have I mentioned lately that T2:Judgement Day is the finest action film ever created? It transcends the genre with genuine warmth from both robot-boy bonding and molten metals in the same scene. Also, that liquid metal terminator skewers that kid’s dad with a spike through his milk carton from which he was guzzling milk directly (it was a cautionary tale: a milk carton is not a cup).

Apple iCrap ownership is a litmus test for how well I’ll get along with a random technophile.

This reminds me of some youtube clip with 3 chicks playing a MGMT song on their iPhones… but the song is already mainly electro so… it added nothing. They didn’t even do the vocal part on the iPhone, they just sang along with their little touch-screen sound board tapping. They didn’t even edit the video to make it look like cats were playing the damn iPhones. Fail on every worldly plane…

I want to adopt this kid and the fat kid who plays JB during the Kickapoo opening in Pick of Destiny. Then I can finally start a traveling family thrash metal band.
