Loud and Creepy… 0

Loud and Clear is creepy.

Infomercials have become breeding grounds for all kinds of random weirdness. As per standard infomercial protocol, the many benefits of the hearing-aid product, Loud and Clear (above), are discussed. Things get weird about 38 seconds in when the benefits of Loud and Clears hearing aid include eavesdropping on your neighbors. At about 54 the benefits are extended when it’s revealed that Loud and Clear can help you tune in to private conversations at a party. Yikes! Who is behind this product, Karl Rove?

Lord of the Flies. According to Sarah Palin… 0

Sarah Palin mocks fruit fly research.

I love the flippy “I kid you not” comment at the end of this vid. I mean, what else would you expect from Sarah Palin’s first policy speech? Anyway, for someone who has been promoted as a “tireless supporter of Autism research”, Sarah Palin is remarkably ignorant of the many contributions fruit fly research has made to one of her pet causes. To say nothing of this study involving fruit flies that may help pinpoint genetic risk factors for Autism.

I guess when Palin couldn’t name a newspaper or news publication she reads, she wasn’t kidding.
