The blog of Ken
As a proper Apple fanboi and connoisseur of media critiques, I find the Macalope Weekly a must-read every Saturday morning. It’s funny, it’s interesting, and like the Daily Show, it skewers those who need skewering. Give it a look if you’re into that sort of thing.
I’ve tried to explain time and again how the internet works. But some people are just more visual, so here’s a simple drawing that should clear everything up…
The woman quitting her job via dry erase board is a hoax.
Oh, well. Here’s The Bed Intruder Song (Select 720p for best results.)
Problem: I want my iPhone 4 to be able to survive a nuclear war/peak oil/Skynet/Palin presidency.
Solution: Ryan Glasgow’s stainless steel iPhone 4 case.
Not only does it fix the antenna problem, it will also look great attached to your feather-covered leather armor as you blast across a post-apocalyptic wasteland in your armored dune buggy. And the great thing is, thanks to AT&T, you won’t notice any difference in your reception after the fall of civilization!
It’s 6:30 a.m. on New Year’s Day in Toledo. Melodi Dushane must. Have. McNuggets. NOW.
But McDonald’s doesn’t serve McNuggets during breakfast. Melodi responds to this news in a controlled, measured way, as can be seen starting around the 1:15 mark of the video.
Personally, I stopped feeling this strongly about food around 6 or 7. Years old, that is. Not 7 a.m.
This video was just released because the case is closed. Melodi pled guilty to felony vandalism and was sentenced to 60 days in jail and three years of probation.
And the brave women of the Main Street McDonald’s? Watch to the end and you’ll see they kept right on working.
The Smoking Gun has the whole story.
So you have a dim-witted, misogynistic boss. What’s the best way to completely emasculate him in front of the entire office while quitting with a great deal of style? Reveal that he spends most of his days playing Farmville.
It’s been almost 72 hours since I wrote about a teabagger doing something idiotic. It’s not for lack of material, it’s just I like to find the cream of the crop.
Enter Dan Maes, running for Governor of Colorado, described as a “tea party favorite.”

It turns out that his likely opponent in the general election, Denver Mayor John Hickenlooper, has been secretly working to turn Denver over to the U.N. by creating a bike sharing program!!!1!!
Sure, Denver signed up with the International Council for Local Environmental Initiatives in order to share ideas on making the city greener with other municipalities more than a decade before Hickenlooper became mayor… but that’s just how diabolical his plan is.
And while their website mentions that the ICLEI was formed during a meeting at the United Nations, they’ve carefully hidden any current association they have with the nefarious U.N. But Maes knows better. He’s done the research! He knows!
The U.N.’s true plans were so well hidden that Maes himself didn’t realize the danger at first:
…I thought, ‘Gosh, public transportation, what’s wrong with that, and what’s wrong with people parking their cars and riding their bikes? And what’s wrong with incentives for green cars?’ But if you do your homework and research, you realize ICLEI is part of a greater strategy to rein in American cities under a United Nations treaty.
And destroy your reusable shopping bags, people. That’s how they get you!

Arizona’s illegal immigrant law is a thinly-veiled piece of racism against Hispanics. But how does the state feel about other types of illegal aliens?
This is the sign in front of a Quality Inn outside of Flagstaff. While the sign claims Martians are welcome, it also says “No train noise.” I mean, really. Come on, Arizona! Enough with the blatant stereotyping! “Black people like watermelon.” “Hispanics are lazy.” “Asians can’t drive.” “Martians hate train noise.” You know, it’s the 21st century!
