Have You Ever Been Rick Rolled?

I have on occassion clicked on videos posted on sites such as Youtube, only to endure the misfortune of being directed to a video clip of Rick Astley's 1987 song Never Gonna Give You Up.

Has this ever happened to you?

Apparently, there are many seemingly unrelated links/URL's that are somehow obfuscated, which direct many unfortunate souls to this dreadful cacophony.

There is even an internet term called Rickrolling (e.g. You have been Rickrolled).

If you're a fan of Never Gonna Give You Up, then this has probably made your day.

For the rest of us though, we will need to recuperate and detoxify our brains by listening to our favourite music.

Tank Tops in Reccessionary America!

True Redneck Tank Top!!!!

This was taken in front of the Gardendale, Alabama,
Walmart while she was going to the Flea market.
This is hysterical! Look at it closely.

Now I ask you...
Who ... stands and looks at a pair of men's briefs and says hummmm...I can make a nice summer top from these!!

On the other hand... a few bucks for a three pack is a good price!!

Confusing Overseas Call Centres.

In this modern age of economic globalisation, some local companies have chosen to cut costs through relocating their call centres to foreign countries, for the benefit of saving on labour costs.

Apart from the obvious effect of local jobs being taken offshore, I have experienced another concern.

Recently, I received a call from a lady representating a local company. She was intending to persuade me into purchasing a product or service that her particular company had on offer.

She was very likely to have been calling me from from a large overseas sub-continental nation boasting a population of over a billion souls.

Unfortunately, as english didn't appear to be her first language, I struggled to understand the specifics of what she was trying to sell me, mainly due to her sentence structure, tonal language and her accent.

I politely proceeded to point out, that I was confused ... and I could not understand the details of what she was saying.

The upshot here was, she was unable to effectively market what her company had on offer.

Have you experienced confusing overeas call centres?

U.S. Plan To Beat The Recession (A Funny Paper):

Happy New Year!

George Bush's war on terror ended on a very leathery note. Not what I'd call weapons of mass destruction. But had the targeting of these projectiles been successful, the loss of dignity would have been terrifying!

What A Header!

Think this player got a little too close, during the opposition's throw in.
