This Verizon FIOS commercial always cracks me up.

In regards to FIOS I wonder how much money they’ve wasted advertising it, it’s been over the commercials are in the air but the service is hardly available anywhere. It’s either that or the fact their website sucks and you always end up forced to make a phone call, and that’s when they loose me, I just want to order the whole thing online, why wait 30mins until somebody picks up.

It’s hard to run a big company I guess, too many people that don’t give a damn about your business always end up making it bad.

I just saw South Park’s episode “Canada on Strike“, the boys decide to make a youtube video to make money and give it to all the Canadians on strike. The episode mocks the writer’s strike and all famous videos on the internet. The funny thing for me is that I had never seen this video:

And here’s the video the boys made

User luisdrk from Caracas,Venezuela has posted this picture on flickr. Pretty cool stuff. it’s actually a parody of this picture by Jesus Molina.

It’s really funny because we had our inspiration from a similar source, we looked for the words “frost wire” in flickr, and we saw frozen barbed wires, this is the one that caught our eye and then we talked to a great graphic designer who did the logo for us.

Yesterday I receive an email from amazon, saying that someone “had purchased a gift from our Baby Registry”.
The email was sent to me and my wife, when I saw it, I checked that it was not the product of Phishing, went to the site, and indeed there was a baby registry to our names, and I was like… “wtf?”

Then I had a conversation with my wife, asking her if she was pregnant, for like 5 minutes I didn’t believe her, then it was all good, but it left me wondering things about how ready I’d be for a baby.

Funny how a reliable service can make a stupid mistake that even though it was just an email, is so meaningful, and in whatever the case, it could cause either surprise or a big dissapointment.

We even wondered if it was because we’ve been married for almost a year, that amazon was getting into pregnancy prediction spamming algorithms.

Good thing we’re not trying with doctors and stuff to have a baby, I guess it would’ve been a lot worse.
