This game is awesome. You play a bouncer, and your job is to pummel Kevin Federline into a bloody stump. Not surprisingly, it is a lot of fun. Don't forget to mix in a lot of body shots too.

The Kung Fu Fuck You technique. I've been practicing that one for years, but I'm not as good as those guys.

Honorable mention: check out this utility for sick Foley artists. I totally lost it on "Bowels of the Titanic."

I found a really mindless game that is strangely therapeutic for a Friday afternoon. It's called Short Bus Rampage. The game sets up like this:

Tired of being ridiculed by the other students, you and the rest of the Special Ed class have taken control of the bus and are out for revenge.

I realize this is old, but today's Coolest Thing On The Internets Of The Day is Sean Gleeson's Autorantic Virtual Moonbat.

He's automated, he's progressive, and he fits on your sidebar.

Actually, this robot is a very accurate portrayal. There's a dude who stands outside the Van Nuys Courthouse and rants incoherently, but sounds exactly like this robot.

Sean designed a chat machine too. It must be channelling Robert MacLelland's spirit, or spit, or something.

Someone should create a computerized voice version. Air America could save a fortune by replacing their on-air personalities with robots. I wonder if anyone would notice. They'd probably just think it was Al Gore.

I star in another movie! This one has a sad ending, but shows my dramatic range.

Directed by Victor.

4 Annika, I was enthralled for the first third, felt my lids sinking a bit as we passed the mid point, revived by the heart pounding chase and crisis resolution and pissed off that the trailer I saw the other day gave too much away.

I can attest to the accuracy of the video below, because I have a bunch of history degrees. It's the shit they don't tell you in school.

(It reminds me a lot of this famous site, which is also really funny.)

Victor sent me a link to the most horrible thing I've ever seen on the internets. This is way worse than the drunk dog fucking video, which at least was funny. No, this one is so horrible I almost want to cancel my internet service and never go online again. Cuz if that's what the internets have come to, if that's the kind of awfulness we are now able to witness at the click of a button -- I mean the kind of stuff that should have been burned, buried and forgotten, never to see the light of day ever again, where it will damage the eyes and ears and brains of millions of innocent unsuspecting people -- well then I think this whole internets thing has gone too far.

If you dare, click on this YouTube link. But I must warn you, It is shockingly baaad, and even Victor admitted that he was physically unable to watch the entire thing. I did, and I will forever be sorry.

Now this is a special one. Pandora.com is a site that recommends songs based on objective similarities to the songs you input.

[W]e set out to capture the essence of music at the most fundamental level. We ended up assembling literally hundreds of musical attributes or "genes" into a very large Music Genome. Taken together these genes capture the unique and magical musical identity of a song - everything from melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony. It's not about what a band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, or about who buys their records - it's about what each individual song sounds like.

I thought I'd try to stump it by entering the name of my favorite new musical discovery, April Verch. But the program passed my test with flying colors. Give it a whirl.

h/t to Jody.
