Vote…or Die

Filed Under (Funny Bone, The Idiot Box, Vidddeos) by Ankur on 04-11-2008

I’m sick of all newspapers in India (and elsewhere) which keep on saying “The whole world should get a say in voting for the US presidential elections”. We got it. The joke is stale now.

Americans do crazy stuff to get their sheeple to vote, including making Jessica Alba wear a Hannibal Lecter mask. The biggest reason for large voter turnout, however, will be the fundamental tenet of American democracy - get out there and vote, or Puff Daddy will m****rf***ing kill you (as succintly demonstrated in the video below).

Big TV crashes Airtel’s DTH launch party - LiveMint

Here’s what you get when you try to act smart with advertisements. Airtel learnt it the hard way. No, it isn’t only about a big red chair, because the day Airtel actually released its ad announcing the DTH service, BigTV took out a similar (print) ad on the same day along the same lines to confuse people. It’s nothing sneaky - Airtel just had it coming when they tried to do a teaser campaign with no logo.

Speaking of ads, the Czechoslovakia one is really cute…

Title sounds like Bill Gates’ theme song, but actually, it’s a song by the Rolling Stones. Please, not the original version. I’m talking about the one featured in the movie Righteous Kill, a remixed version by The Neptunes. As for the movie the people who said things like…

Righteous Kill is a movie which has been made by people who think that even having Robert De Niro and Al Pacino read out a phone book would be interesting.

are f**king retards I can’t decide, it’s good and bad at the same time. De Niro looks a LOT older than Pacino. That’s what happens when you spend a major part of your life talking in front of a mirror. I leave you with song which this post was titled after. Billgey should think of making this his theme song.
