Animatronics Gone Wild Part II

Monday, July 7th, 2008

We brought you The Rock-afire Explosion last August, and they’re back, this time doing their rendition of Usher’s “Love in This Club.” Make sure you stick around for rapper T.I.’s appearance as a puppet controlled by a puppet! This, like the Nadal-Federer Wimbledon final yesterday, is what we here at Blogadilla call an Instant Classic.

In A Galaxy Far, Far Away…

Sunday, June 22nd, 2008

Do you think George Lucas had this in mind when he made Star Wars?

Make sure you stick around for the Darth Vader crotchgrab at the end…

A New Meaning for “Beer Belly”

Friday, June 20th, 2008

The bierbauch (which in German literally means “beer belly”) is essentially a camelbak for your stomach, making beer consumption easier than ever.  Also from the makers of the bierbauch comes the getraenke büstenhalter– a  wine bra, so women can partake in the drinking action.  Germans are equal opportunity drinkers!

Buy a bierbauch here for just $34.95.

Need a Father’s Day Gift?

Friday, June 13th, 2008

Can’t think of a Father’s Day gift this year?  Well think no more: for just $49.95 you can get dad his very own Uroclub– a cleverly designed, hollowed-out 7-iron, allowing him to pee on the golf course, while no one is the wiser.

Uroclub - Pee freely while golfing!

Yes, this is for real.  Check out the Uroclub TV commercial, or Keith Olbermann’s coverage of the portable golf-shaped urinal.

Such was the life for Landon Shuffett– now 13, and still crushing out opponents. Take a gander…the Tiger Woods of pool, anyone?

BPOW: Chocolate Covered Bacon!

Tuesday, May 20th, 2008

Wow.  We’ve talked about Bacon & Chocolate before in bar form, but this week’s Bacon Product of the Week takes the combination to a whole new level.  Marini’s Munchi’s of Santa Cruz, CA– also known for their Goatse-esque logo– has, after numerous R&D trials, no doubt, developed the mythical chocolate covered bacon.

Chocolate Covered Bacon - Blogadilla.com

At $17.00 per pound, eat it at your own risk, though it sure looks tasty.  Or, if you’re the more adventurous type, you can even try Kevin Karagitz’s homemade recipe.  But as he says, proceed with EXTREME CAUTION.

Diet Water, WTF?

Diet Water

What the hell is “diet” water?  You know, I’m actually quite glad I discovered this, because the water I’ve been drinking is so fattening…

For more craziness like this, check out the 10 weirdest Japanese Beverages and Soft Drinks,  including such tasty treats as Pepsi Ice Cucumber soda, Coolpis Kimchee Drink, Mother’s Milk “Breast Milk” (in a carton!), and Water Salad Soda (from Coca Cola!).  Bleghk!

BPOW: Choose Your Own (Bacon) Adventure

Tuesday, April 15th, 2008

This week, I bring you two bacon products– one tame; one risqué (and possibly NSFW). CHOOSE YOUR OWN BACON ADVENTURE! (OK, so what if it’s not as complex as those books that were all the rage when I was in elementary school?)

Tame Bacon: “Pocket Bacon”

Pocket Bacon‘ is crocheted from red and white yarn can be yours for the low price of $5.00 + S/H. As the artist says, this is “seriously the dumbest thing I have ever made but you guys seem to like it” and “You can use this as a bookmark but other than that I am at a loss, I mean, you SO TOTALLY need this.” Click the image below to order:

Knitted Bacon

Risqué Bacon: The Bacon Bra

The Bacon Bra is quite possibly the strangest application of an uncooked meat product that I’ve seen– well, it comes close (read #31693)– and I’m not sure The Bacon Bra is safe for work, but I’m going to post it anyways, since there’s no nudity or anything. Suffice to say, if you hear your boss approaching, stop reading this page and switch to another tab in your browser until the coast is clear. Or, if you work in the garment industry, perhaps your boss will feel you’ve discovered an entire new line of products. You be the judge.

The Bacon Bra

The good news here is that you can procure a bacon bra at your local supermarket without paying shipping and handling (woman not included; sorry guys). Personally, I’m thinking of creating and patenting the Bacon Jock Strap. Either that or the Bacon Manzier (the Bacon Bro?). Thoughts?

A very clever British ad.  How aware am I?  Clearly not aware enough!

Dude, That’s Some Good $#!t

Thursday, April 10th, 2008

Check out this hilarious clip of a reporter unknowingly getting high while he does a story on the marijuana and cocaine burning behind him!

[update from Heywood]: According to you a YouTube comment, this is a clip from a British TV comedy called ‘Drop the Dead Donkey‘. Still; pretty freakin funny.

Second Life Meets First Life?

Tuesday, April 8th, 2008

To drum up excitement for the upcoming Olympic games, and to tap into the audiences that watch Lost and still remember (enjoy?) playing Myst, a new online game called The Lost Ring emerged in late February. The New York Times recently featured an interesting article about the hidden sponsorship of the game, players around the world, and the relatively cheap cost of orchestrating worldwide phenomena. (Interestingly enough, the article was written on April Fools Day, so it’s unclear whether anyone took the review seriously).

Here’s the trailer that started it all:

The game apparently started with 50 bloggers who knew all those sleepless nights spent online had finally paid off, but has now gotten big enough that there are wikis, podcasts and players collaborating around the world to piece together the story and pick up hidden clues left in cities around the world. The game will culminate during the opening ceremony of the Olympics with some sort of tie-in. You can catch up and join in the fun at The Lost Ring Wiki.

A Beatboxing Flautist plays Super Mario??? I must be dreaming…

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Check out the sweet, sweet work of Greg Patillo, who is somehow able to both play a flute and beatbox at the same time.  Kind of similar to Yuri Lane, the beatboxing harmonica player I brought you last August, Greg is like Rahzel meets Bobby Militello, with a splash of Kōji Kondō.  Pretty damn impressive:

BPOW: Bacon & Cheese Crick-ettes

Monday, March 31st, 2008

Bacon & Cheese Crickettes - Blogadilla.com

That’s right folks….bacon and cheese flavored crickets. These are made by a company called HotLix, a specialty candy company that has an entire line of insect candies, such as Chocolate Insects, Real Scorpion Suckers, and Larvets. Any takers for a Tequila-flavored Worm Sucker?

Big shout out to Blogadilla reader billb, who sent us what is definitely our weirdest Bacon Product of the Week to date. Can any of you out there one up him? Keep posting your bacon finds in the comments!

Meet the 5th Beatle, “Hero” Ha

Friday, March 21st, 2008

Check out this amazing and cute performance by YoungWoong  Ha a.k.a. “Hero,” who was 3 when this was filmed (he’s now 4 and a half).  Not bad for a kid who has never been trained in music or English, and has never been to an English speaking country!

Nokia Morph: Cooler than Sliced Bread

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

This is the future of telephony, mobility, and computing– brace yourself:

Obviously this technology’s place in the mainstream market is a long way out, but theoretically a prototype already exists and is to be shared with the public.  I say ‘theoretically,’ because the Nokia Morph is supposed to be at NYC’s Museum of Modern Art as part of the exhibit entitled Design and the Elastic Mind, but my sources tell me that the Morph was nowhere to be seen in this collection, nor did any of the MoMA staff have specific information about it, or why it wasn’t there.  MoMA’s site still lists it as an exhibit, so what gives??

The Top 5 Worst Company Website URLs

Tuesday, March 18th, 2008

Over the past few years, most all companies have made the shift to the Internet, creating domain names and webpages to advertise their business and expand their reach.  Clearly, however, not all domain names are created equal, and as is the case with the following sites, not very much thought was put into the selection of their respective domain names:

  1. A site called ‘Who Represents’ where you can find the name of the agent that represents a celebrity. Their domain name… wait for it…whorepresents.com.
  2. Need a therapist? Try Therapist Finder at therapistfinder.com
  3. Welcome to the First Cumming Methodist Church. Their website is cummingfirst.com
  4. Need profesional art design fast?  Check out speedofart.com
  5. And my personal favorite, an interactive brochure about beautiful Lake Tahoe resorts: gotahoe.com

Other unintentionally hilarious domain names  that at one time existed but unfortunately do not anymore (or the pages are under construction) included:

Cat Butt Tat.

Just when I thought I’d seen everything, I saw this.  Is the guy really going to want to rock this tattoo when he’s 80?
