For those of you that’ve been reading my blog for a while, I wrote a review a long time ago on the Tesla. It’s a plug in electric car that was developed out here in California. Now that it’s come out, I found a good video from Top Gear where Jeremy Clarkeson compares it against the Lotus Elise. I think the chassis is based on the Elise, making it a good comparison of electric versus gasoline.

Wow…this just a weird product. A British company has decided to launch a some pre-chewed pencils. Their reasoning behind the product is that children are getting distracted in school by chewing their own pencils. Thus, children will be less likely to chew these pre-chewed pencils, and concentrate more on school. I don’t know if this actually makes sense to me. I almost think it may encourage children to chew their pencils more. Sure, it may stop children that find a pre-chewed pencil from chewing on it more. But if they know they bought the pencil new….why not add to its character…and chew it up some more.

Here’s some cool images that aren’t photoshopped at all. There’s more at here, but these were my favorite. The first image is from Germany. Apparently this guy breeds these giant cuddly bunnies for food. That’s a lot of rabbit meat if you ask me. The second one was taken in France. These guys covered up a construction site by laying a giant tarp over it with a melting building image on it. Very creative in my opinion. Could you imagine if all the construction sites had these crazy images. It’d definitely add more character to and some edge to our cities. I’ll leave the last two images for you guys to decipher. Just know that there are real images.

Here’s a list from Spike about the 7 Ugliest cars.
7. Yugo GV
6. Mercedes G-Class
5. Ford Mustang II
4. Pontiac Aztec
3. VW Thing
2. Citroen 2CV
1. AMC Pacer
I do agree that you’d probably never catch me driving any of these cars. Even though they’re not all that bad aesthetically, they all have at least one bad aspect of their design. Whether its an underpowered engine, a box on wheels, or just plain ugly. I’ve never seen the #2-Citroen 2CV in person, but the article states that the designer pitched it as a low-priced, rugged “umbrella on wheels.” Not only that but he specifically raised the roof so tall people can wear hats in it. And the last #1-Pacer has almost become an iconic image of badly designed american cars in the 70’s. Do you guys remember what movie featured Pacer?

Now normally, I don’t like to be real political on my blog, but I thought this was pretty funny. This may sound odd, but the liberals in San Francisco are already planning on naming a memorial after none other than George W. Bush. Here’s the catch, they’re trying to name their water treatment center; “George W. Bush Sewage Plant.” Supposedly, this will be on their November ballots, and as you can imagine, local republicans are already fighting this one.

My friend over at Angryasianman.com posted these pictures. I agree…these are some badass pictures of our Korean law enforcement.

So it looks like the negotiations (according to the L.A. Times) have began between SAG and the Hollywood Studios. Hopefully our negotiators and the studios will come to terms a little faster than the WGA and the studios did. I don’t think anybody wants to go through another strike. Oh well, we’ll see what happens. There’s still a couple months before our contract expires. I’m optimistic for now.
