    teh glorious interweb as it got stuck in my camino tabs this past week – the edited version.

    obama drugs

    Obama E! – "Feels good, and then the next day…"

    LSD Blotter (Obama) – we want to get high, so high…

    online video killed the …

    Surprise Kitty – "Surprise Kitty (thanks again, Mia!) has just become a gazillion times better thanks to the folks at b3ta:"

    Röyksopp 'This Must Be It' – "Join Runar for some odd goings-on in the new video for 'This Must Be It'" one of the coolest music videos i have seen in ages.

    At My Wedding Twitterring and Facebooking at the Altar – man updates his relationship status on facebook during his wedding.

    Surprised Kitty – "surprised kitten is surprised" the awww-moment of the week. [via boingboing]

    schmooze and abuse

    World Cup games to be filmed in 3D – "The 2010 World Cup in South Africa will be filmed in 3D for the first time, it has been announced." so, we got the technology for it now? because this was announced for the worldcup 2002 in south corea/japan, remember?

    Groove Armada set for PS3 gig – "Groove Armada are launching their new album Black Light with the first ever gig inside Home, the virtual world for PS3."

    Government-backed gay bar in "Communist China" not so popular with The Gays – "What if they opened a gay bar and no one came? Wait, no no — don't go there." featured here just for that brilliant line by xeni jardin. well and of course because tagging things gay and china is fun fun fun.

    We’re bloggers – we get stuff for free – and we should get over it. "A lot of bloggers are unhappy with a new rule requiring them to disclose when they get something for free" and btw. why did i never get stuff for free?

    Surf the Web Anonymously – "Sadly, remaining anonymous online isn't easy. Everything from search engines to social networking sites are dropping cookies, or little data files, in your web browser to track your behavior: which links you click, which ads you click, where you are and more."

    Soccer Resists Instant Replay Despite Criticism – "The instant replay is already a reality for soccer fans watching games at home, making poor calls on the field all the more obvious. FIFA still has time to add the instant replay to its rules before the World Cup next summer, when scrutiny of referee decisions promises to be even stronger." fuck off, blatter. you are old and stupid.

    Artist's amazing self-camouflage – "Above is the mindbending work of camouflage artist Liu Bolin." what? who? where?

    Corduroy Skirts are a Sin – "I decided that because this woman thought it was okay to make me feel uncomfortable in my home, I would retaliate and make her feel just as uncomfortable, if not more." cheeky. and this one has levels of meaning.

    The poster that convinced Switzerland to ban minarets – "There are currently four minarets in all of Switzerland, each pointed threateningly at (from?) one quarter of the nation."

    FutureEverything Awards 2010 – "FutureEverything is pleased to announce the establishment of The FutureEverything Awards." deadline: 15. january 2010.

    How to make a VHS video toaster – "The project was simple: convert a VHS video machine to make toast, and eject it through the cassette slot." haha, and hmmm. we are currently shopping for a toaster…

    New Website Publicizes iPhone App Rejections – "A new website aims to publicize the details surrounding the much-maligned iPhone application review process – Apple's secretive procedures that have been under heavy scrutiny this year, especially since the FCC's involvement regarding Apple's rejection of the Google Voice application."

    Controversial plans for minaret ban and outlawing arms exports face voters' verdict – "To the great surprise of pollsters and the regret of the government, the Swiss on Sunday said yes to a ban on the construction of minarets." for the record, i feel ashamed to be swiss today. sorry world!!!

    World Cup grass isn't green enough – "Native kikuyu pitches are not bright enough for television, but the replacements will be little long-term use to South Africans"

  • ZIDANE a new way to solve problems..

    Jan Zup[ping]er 06:56:29 on 13.7.2006 | 0 Permalink | Reply

    :flash: the most viewed video on youtube wednesday – good point, lets all just start headbutting others to solve our problems.

    :flash: zidanes’s “mea culpa” – “le vrai coupable c’est celui qui provoque”. rien rein de rien ahhh je ne regrette rien… i actually had to cry when i read some of the comments on youtube:

    AlephMistery (1 hour ago)
    If I were Zidane, I would not head-butt Materazzi.
    I would beat Materazzi until he is dead.

    MarcoPolo3000 (18 minutes ago)
    fuck yea, don’t talk that shit bout my ma!
    …yud get butted too!

    :flash: Zidane’s act of revolt also an act of betrayal – “Zidane would be more sympathetic if he admitted he cracked in a moment of rage and weakness as time was running out in front of an audience of one billion. He was elevated to living-legend status as he set aside retirement to rescue the French team and lead the aging and underestimated Les Bleus back to the championship game they had won in 1998.

    Zidane couldn’t just be a hard-working family man with a gift for a game. He was a soccer god in a world that worships the sport. In France, he was the idealized icon of the multiethnic revolution, the captain of a team of many skin hues.

    Zidane reacted not just to Materazzi’s needling, but to the insane pressure of being a World Cup hero.”

    :flash: and finally another zidane headbutt game

  • Zidane World Cup Headbutt Animation Festival

    zidane headbutt festival

    = what various animators have made of the infamous headbutt.

    materazzi breakdance

    read my lips [in german]: berner gazette sums up the various interpretations of what materazzi might have said to zidane, according to lipreaders. and points to:

    Dschungel und Zivilisation by Thomas Hüetlin [in german], an article that attests zizou’s headbutt a strange kind of grandeur (eine selsame grösse). good point, even if the title has a slightly racist ring to it, associating zizou being a decendent from africa with the jungle somehow.

  • die welt zu gast bei ... verlierern

    Jan Zup[ping]er 08:30:37 on 5.7.2006 | 4 Permalink | Reply

    auf wiedersehn

    hesitated there, should i really say “die welt zu gast bei verlierern”, losers, or maybe rather “die welt zu gast bei würsten”, sausages, or something much much worse. much more evil.
    yes yes yes, i admit it. this morning i am flooded with the purest form of malice, “häme”, despite being kept awake quite late by the honking cars in the neverending italian corso. and yes yes yes the italians do not REALLY deserve to go to finals either. but then, in this most rotten of worldcups, who does?

    certainly not the germans, they deserved to lose. in fact, a few games ago.
    so here’s a big “take this, suckers” from my part. take this for:

    - compensating your lack of football skills with agrressivity and mental strength. football is supposed to be a game, remember?
    - whistling each time an opposing player touched the ball.
    - blatantly abusing of the home advantage in every conceivable way hardly deserving of the slogan “die welt zu gast bei freuden”.
    - behaving as if this title was somehow reserved for you and taking every conceivable measure to impose it [even voodoo!].
    - creating the most unfair schedule ever, putting the home team in advantage in every posssible way, best stadiums, longest breaks between games, etc.
    - franz beckenbauer. enough said.
    - oliver kahn. enough said.
    - jürgen klinsi. enough said.
    - having your worst ever bundeskanzlerin frau ferkel merkel in the stadium! and shown on tv every 3 seconds! i still puke.
    - getting all german-style enthusiastic and your media going overboard in every possible direction. as usual.

    oh, i could go on.

    italians, great job. realistic. clean.
    despite the sweatstain jersey design, at least its creative. despite only really starting to play last game or so, we love the minimalismo. this was worldclass football. great defense. great attacking. now win this sucker of a tournament.
