A few weeks ago, TDWTF contributor Mark Bowytz shared some fun classic computer ads. Apparently, Mark has an entire attic filled with Byte magazine and other ’80s computer magazines, and has dug through them to pull out some more. Stay tuned for more What the Ad?…

Það er málið í kaþólikkalandi… prestar eiga bara að dýrka einhvern súperofurpenis í skýjunum og því fer sem fer…. þetta lið er að framleiða barnaníðinga með þessu yfirnáttúrulega líferni sínu…. þetta hefur ekkert með gayness að gera. Það eina vitræna í stöðunni er að leyfa þessum karldurgum að gifta sig og lifa eðlilegu lífi… best af öllu væri að loka þessu rugli algerlega.
Indónesíska þingið samþykkti í dag lög sem banna klám þrátt fyrir þau mótmæli ýmissa hópa og þingmanna að bannið verði notað til að réttlæta árásir á frjálsræði í listum, trú og menningartengdum efnum.

Gisele is in V magazine (I don’t know what that is) posing for what many are calling, “the Greatest Pictures Ever Taken”. I never really thought she was very attractive before, but now I realize she’s the perfect woman, and everything I’ve ever wanted or dreamt about. Put up your dukes, Tom Brady!

Greint hefur verið frá því að Sarah Palin, varaforsetaefni bandarískra repúblíkana, hafi breytt…
Myndskeiðið hér að neðan sýnir hvers vegna trúarbrögð og stjórnmál fara ekki saman og þ.a.l. hvers vegna trúarbrögð eiga ekki að njóta ríkisverndar.
Konan sem hér situr fyrir svörum kýs McCain og Palin því að þau standa fyrir trú hennar burt séð frá stjórnmálastefnu þeirra. Fyrir henni eru stjórnmálin aukaatriði. McCain mun gera það rétta því hún telur að hann treysti á guð. Hún trúir því...

If you think Sarah Palin is bad, try listening to Michele Bachmann for seven minutes. This is her interview with Chris Matthews, in which she accuses swarms of people of being “Anti-American”. One thing is amusing. Intermittently, Matthews tries to pin her down in her blanket screeds against liberals, and asks her to state specifically whether some Democrat is actually, literally...

Google recently unveiled a Gmail application that may help prevent drunk emailing. When in use, the program requires a potential emailer to solve a few mathematical problems before the message can be sent. Pretty clever, now make something similar for cell phones and we’ll be set. Or you can just subscribe to The Geekologie Writer’s method of drunk messaging prevention —...

It’s happened: craven YouTube has pulled all of the eucharist desecration videos. Click on one and you’ll just get the message, “This video has been removed due to terms of use violation.” FSMdude’s account has also been suspended. There is no description of what rule was violated; I guess we must presume that YouTube is now in the business of defending religious...
