It’s Bad When The Drums Stop

Just got this joke from a friend of mine …

A biology graduate student went to Borneo to take some samples for her thesis work. She flew there, found a guide with a canoe to take her up the river to the remote site where she would make her collections…

About noon on the second day of travel up the river they began to hear drums. Being a city girl by nature, the biologist was disturbed by the noise of the drums. She asked the guide, “What are those drums?”

The guide turned to her and said, “Drums OK, but VERY BAD when they stop.”

Many hours past but the drumming did not cease. As the sun was about to set, suddenly the drum beats stopped…

With an expression of fear on her face the biologist turned to her guide and said, “The Drums have stopped, what happens now?”

The guide crouched down, covered his head with both hands and said, “Bass Solo.”

The Pessimist vs. the Optimist In News Design

It’s always interesting to see how the competing newspapers in the same city cover the same story.

Rush Limbaugh Has Trouble Getting It Up

Why do I find it funny that somebody with as big an ego as Rush would need Viagra? Oh well — at least he didn’t try to get an implant to have it malfunction.

Thanks Barn for the link.

Why It’s Such A Pain To Cancel AOL

This hilarious audio of somebody trying to cancel AOL reminds me of all the folks who seem to think I could cancel their AOL accounts (214 comments and counting). At least he wasn’t calling an Indian call center or something — can you imagine this conversation if the guy was from another country?

Thanks Dan for the audio.

The Ultimate Web 2.0 App

I wish this was real. As the “most efficient way to blackmail the world” , you upload a scandalous photo or video, set a price, email anonymous threat, and if they don’t pay up, the upload goes public.

Now if Flickr or YouTube just had this feature, the Web would be an interesting place indeed.

Best Local Marketing Ever

The Bend Visitor and Convention Bureau apparently spent $35,000 on this hilarious, if not totally politically incorrect sing-a-long. You’ll notice the domain is Where-The-Hell-Are-We.com — they also have a companion site (that comes up after the sing-a-long at here-the-hell-we-are.com.

As someone who has lived here for nearly 30 years, I was laughing pretty hard at this thing. Bravo to DVA Advertising for its creation and at least trying something new when it comes to marketing Central Oregon. It may be totally ineffective, it’s bound to piss some folks off, and I’m sure some people won’t find it funny at all, but I sure did.

Edit: Fixed broken link tags that hosed the first paragraph of this entry.

Edit on 6/20: Since it appears that the BVCB took down the video, here’s a copy of what played at where-the-hell-are-we.com and here’s a copy of the Flash map/video from here-the-hell-we-are.com. According to Jon (who hated it), there’s a Bulletin article about the video here.

Edit again on 6/20: Thanks Mrs. H for the tip: Here’s a Bulletin story on the video being pulled

Update on 6/20 at 5:15: It looks like the publicity may have killed them.

Update on 6/21: Read here for more discussion and my thoughts on the tax issues.
