Media Blotch - April 2010

4GS Finder Makes Statement to Apple: Sorry Bout That

April 30th 2010 14:14


The "Lucky Bastard" that I mentioned in a previous post, who discovered the iPhone 4GS prototype while out drinking at a bar, has finally been identified. Much to his dismay, Apple does not feel like exchanging Facebook pages and being BFFs. In fact, they're pretty pissed. Once his identity was discovered through other parties involved in the finding, he hastily told Apple and all others involved "Sorry about that." At least his apology was eloquent.


All lawyered up and ready to go, Brian J. Hogan may face criminal charges for theft. Finding the missing prototype and failing to make a "reasonable effort" to return it, and then selling the coveted iPhone for $5,000 to Gizmodo, has left him open to arrest and possibly a lawsuit.

Maybe the bastard isn't so lucky after all.

Read the story over heeya.

This Guy May Like Brenda

April 30th 2010 00:08


I like tattoos as much as the next girl, and I like typography more than a large majority of the population (I'm a nerd, what can I say?), but this guy has trumped me on both fronts. This takes either huge balls or a tiny brain (I'm betting on an unfortunate combination of both

Death of the Happy Meal: California Takes Toys From Large Children

April 29th 2010 12:20


Because of the large rise in obesity as of late (i.e. the last two decades) California has decided it needs to step in. In the county of Santa Clara, fast food establishments are now banned from using toys in their kids meals to bribe children to eat their fatty foods. If the meal is over 485 calories, no toy for you

Hi, reader.
I say reader because I'm pretty damn sure there's only one of you, but that's ok. I'm violent peach, and, as of today, I've taken over this blog domain.

Oh, Japan; What the Hell?

I learned a valuable lesson today, and I felt it necessary to share it with the rest of you: never underestimate the weird shit that goes on in Japan. Just when I thought I'd seen the worst of it with the ganguro trend, I found the little gem above

$175 Million Peanuts; Those Are Some Expensive Nuts

April 28th 2010 12:35


So E.W. Scripps Co., the former holder of the licensing rights for the Peanuts gang, has sold out for $175 million. They have handed over the rights to Iconix Brand Group, who is also known for the brand Joe Boxer. Can you blame them? I'd do a lot more than that for $175 million, including, but not limited to, doing the dishes from time to time. You hear that, oh roommate? Better start saving

Michael Cera and His Inappropriate Touching

So I happened across this series of videos last night starring Zach Galifianakis called Between Two Ferns. If you enjoy awkwardly dry humor, you may pee yourself a bit while watching. I thought I'd warn you, because nobody warned me, and boy was my roommate p.o.'d about the couch

Amanda Seyfried Becomes Confused While Dressing

April 28th 2010 05:36


Everyone is raving about Amanda Seyfried wearing her Bodyamr cocktail dress backwards, and by raving I mean having a media worthy hissy fit. Now honestly, I think everyone needs to calm down. You can't tell me you haven't accidentally thrown on your designer dress backwards when headed off to the red carpet. Oh, you can? Sorry, Amanda. That's all you

Apple Bans Employees From Drinking German Beer

April 27th 2010 16:43


So that headline? A total lie, but I definitely think Apple should consider after the events that have taken place. Events that you've heard about a thousand times if you have any interest in Apple whatsoever. So I'm late, I had a long weekend, and by long I mean I did absolutely nothing except sit on my ass
