From the brilliant minds at [adult swim] - the awesomely awesome free Shockwave game “Candy Mountain Massacre”.

Something has gone terribly wrong with the denizens of Candy Mountain. Clad as a Japanese cosplay schoolgirl, your mission: free cupcake hostages while exterminating the explosive cookie-lobbing Keebler Elves Baker Leprechauns, bazooka-toting Hello Kitties Salutations Kittens, and the thumping Energizer Bunny Blue Rabbit.

Great site with lots of free content from old radio shows, some of the best parts are the commercials before the show starts!

Where else can you start a story about discovering something horrible about some old ladies cat, with a commercial about yeast!

This site rocks!

This arrived in the mail today. Sent by my friend Steve (he’s a sicko).

What is wrong with this squirtgun?

a). - It is a clown.

b). - It is a gun.

c). - It is a clown and a gun.

d). - Anatomically, the trigger is in the worst possible location.

e). - When you squeeze the trigger, you feel dirty like that time when you were nine and a clown was at your friend’s birthday party and . . .

f). - All of the above.

It’s wrong. So very wrong. I hate you Steve.

[For those of you who are not knee-deep in geekery]: Cthulhu (usually pronounced KThoo-Loo) is a sinister ancient deity from the works of early 20th century science fiction writer H.P. Lovecraft. Cthulhu is described as being gigantic and green, with rubbery skin, having an ‘octopus head’, a large belly, claws on its hands and feet, and thin wings emerging from its back. In Lovecraft’s universe, Cthulhu came to Earth (from somewhere in the distant cosmos) hundreds of millions of years ago and currently rests undead and “dreaming” among the remains of the buried alien city of R’lyeh, which lies beneath the most desolate area of the South Pacific (47° 9′ S, 126° 43′ W). In Lovecraft’s story “The Call of Cthulhu,” Cthulhu is described as contacting people in their dreams (usually in mid-March), and by these means Cthulhu generates cults of human worshippers around the world who await his eventual awakening; according to Lovecraft, the powerful leaders of the Cthulhu cult live “in the mountains of China.”

Needless to say, Cthulhu has serious geek appeal. There are Cthulhu role-playing games, Cthulhu is a figure in the Dungeons & Dragons universe, there are numerous Campus Crusade for Cthulhu movements, and the H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society has created an awesome 1920’s black-and-white ’silent movie’ of “The Call of Cthulhu.” They do a good job of following the original story and their visuals and musical score are stellar (watch the trailer). The H.P. Lovecraft Historical Society also offers a number of cool Cthulhu downloads, including the kick-ass cellphone wallpaper above.

Having just posted a mashup I made of a songs by Moby and Timbaland, I have been looking around the Internet for material on both artists. This issue surfaced back in January of this year, but I just became aware of it and had to post about it because I’m just blown away.

Apparently in the song “Do It” by Nelly Furtado (which Timbaland “wrote” and produced), Tim lifted a significant portion of a “Acidjazzed Evening,” written and produced in 2000 by a little-known Finnish musician named Janne Suni AKA “Tempest.” Timbaland didn’t ask Suni for permission, nor did he clear the sample prior to making this song. Sure, sampling happens all the time, but it is legitimate and this simply is not.  What Timbaland has done is blatantly plagiarize, taking credit for creating something that someone else created.

I’ll be fair: “Do It” is a hot track in its own right, but Timbaland’s theft is so blatant, it’s amazing. Check out a YouTube video comparing the songs, as well as a ringtone that Timbaland “wrote” in 2005, also ripping off “Acidjazzed Evening”:

Apparently both sides have lawyers and are talking, so perhaps a settlement is in the works.  Timbaland, however, has publicly scoffed at this issue, saying that this happens all the time and isn’t something anyone should be worrying about.  Still, though, the music sounds identical.

For more specific, continuously updated information, check out the wikipedia page on this controversy.

There is a secret TV channel that only rich people can get.

Here is the reality: No, it is not a secret. Yes, it is a little creepy.

It is called “Plum TV” (the name alone is the flavor of lame that rich people flock to). On their website, Plum TV states:

“Plum is dedicated to producing the most informative and entertaining programming that celebrates life in our vibrant communities.”

The vibrant communities that Plum TV celebrates happen to be:

•Aspen
•The Hamptons
•Martha’s Vinyard
•Nantucket
•Telluride
•Vail

Regarding their use of the word “our” - one could surmise that it refers to those who own the costly properties in these celebrated (and gated) communities. The wealthy don’t celebrate their lives enough these days - it’s good to know there’s a whole channel dedicated to doing so.

“I used to act dumb. That act is no longer cute.”

- Paris Hilton in a phone call to Barbara Walters, later broadcast on ABC News’ Web site

Heiress/attention-whore Paris Hilton calls her 5-day incarceration “a life-altering experience.” Within hours of her captivity, Hilton quickly rose to the top of the prison hierarchy after subjugating Cell Block D warlord “Queen Sharina” with a sock full of jewelry. Hilton, who converted to Islam during her captivity, claims “my eyes are now open . . . and I also learned to how to make cute knives from almost anything and how to smuggle a kilo of meth in my *&%$.” Though she has expressed her relief in being a free woman, she says she will miss her “bitchez” back in prison - most of whom were purchased with cartons of menthols or won in knife-fights.

We at Blogadilla are happy for Hilton and her new-found freedom - now she can resume her life of charty work, philanthropy, and searching for a cure for ovarian cancer.

Boo-hoo.

According to this AP article, Kathy Hilton told her daughter’s publicist, Elliot Mintz, that “she feels this will be a time when Paris will be able to think and reflect and to spend time alone to learn from the experience because in Paris’ life she’s never alone — there’s always a constant chatter around her.”

Yeah. Basically this will be a spa retreat. ‘Cuz from what I hear, there’s lots of peace and quiet in the joint. It’s like a freakin’ convent.

Who knows. Maybe Paris will learn something from her time in the Big House. But I doubt it.
