Strange Cat Says ‘Nom Nom Nom’ Video

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 11:27 AM PDT

It’s strange how words and phrases can evolve over time. What started out as the way the ‘Cookie Monster’ from Sesame Street ate cookies has now come to be used whenever someone is eating or wants to eat something they’re craving.

And this video shows that it’s not just humans who are capable of making the “Nom nom nom” noises when eating, with a strange cat also mustering the sound from somewhere deep in its unconscious.

The cat makes the “nom nom nom” noises while eating something unidentifiable off a spoon. I’m guessing whatever it is is very tasty or the “nom nom nom” would be somewhat misplaced.

This proves one thing: that humans are strange creatures, but that cats are even stranger. Then again, that shouldn’t come as much of a surprise considering the evidence.

What Does Google Wave Do? (Video) | If Email Was Invented Today

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 08:56 AM PDT

We’ve all heard of Google Wave, but if you’re like me, you really don’t know the point of the new technlology. This video demonstrates just a small aspect of it.

Essentially, Google Wave is an update on the current system of e-mail. If email was invented today, it would look a lot like this.

I remember using e-mail back in the 90’s a lot more often than today. Web 2.0 sites like Facebook are more useful for communication simply because of the real-time aspect of it. It’s about time e-mail caught up.

E-mail, instant messaging, wiki, social networking, and collaboration have never been seen like this before. Hopefully Wave will catch on and replace our currently outdated e-mail system.

Ricky Martin Comes Out News Video | Is Anyone At All Surprised Latino Singer Is Gay?

Posted: 30 Mar 2010 05:05 AM PDT

Ricky Martin has officially come out, admitting on his personal Web site that he’s gay.

Is anyone at all surprised by this? I thought it was common knowledge that he was homosexual. And in fact I’m kinda surprised it’s taken this long for the man himself to finally admit as much in public.

Ricky Martin’s sexuality has been questioned for years, but he decided to keep the fact he is gay a secret for fear it could ruin his career. In which case, it’s no coincidence that he’s come out now that his career is faltering.

I personally think gay celebrities should come out a lot sooner than they tend to. If they don’t then they’re not being true to their fans. And there are now enough high-profile gay celebs that it shouldn’t affect anyone’s career anyway.

As for Ricky Martin – well, we all knew he was gay anyway, so it’s no big deal.

Cute Asian Girl Does “Poker Face” on iPhones Music Video

Posted: 29 Mar 2010 02:02 PM PDT

Lady Gaga’s breakthrough debut single “Poker Face” has been covered by everyone from rocker Chris Daughty to Christopher Walken. But it’s not just big stars getting in on the act.

Here we see a cute Asian girl tackling the dance pop smash with the help of four iPhones.

The clever girl uses different applications to create the beats she needs to sing along to the hit song. The set up isn’t very exciting, but once it’s all put together it’s quite impressive.

I admit that Lady Gaga isn’t the world's greatest singer, but this perky girl definitely holds her own here.

Watch Hungry Beast Full Episodes: Australia’s Rogue News Show | Bashing Pop Culture Weekly

Posted: 29 Mar 2010 01:32 PM PDT

The Hungry Beast is somewhat of a bastard child of all the regular news on TV in Australia. Every week, the show re-examines the latest stories and usually addresses some details that the major media ignores.

You don’t have to be Australian to find their segments thought-provoking.

Filler news like man-on-the-street interviews and depressing “new statistics” flood most news networks daily. The most interesting stories are only found in hindsight- which is why The Hungry Beast succeeds with it’s niche audience.

Gullible Media

This is the “prank” that made The Hungry Beast popular. Just to see if major news networks actually checked their sources, they formed an elaborate hoax and spread a press-release with nonsense claims. $300 and a few days later, they actually fooled nearly every major station.

Erykah Badu ‘Window Seat’ Video | Strips Nude In JFK Assassination Tribute Music Video

Posted: 29 Mar 2010 12:27 PM PDT

Erykah Badu has always been a bit “out there.” Take for example her latest video ‘Window Seat’ where she strips nude and walks along the exact same street where JFK was shot.

After she is “shot” she narrates the end of the video with the following quote, "They play it safe, and are quick to assassinate what they don't understand."

In regards to her many complaints Erykah tweeted, “Heard people yelling diff things @ me but i held my head up and kept moving.there were children there. i prayed they wouldn't b traumatized…” The video is said to be a statement against “group think.”

In regards to the originality of the video, Erykah got the idea from new-wavers Matt and Kim who did a very similar stunt for their music video “Lessons Learned” you can check it out below. Personally, I prefer their version just because there seems to be more going on.
