What do Vince Vaughn and Peru have in common?

Your wholly insensitive moment of the day:

From a slideshow of the Peruvian earthquake from the BBC:


Refugees took what they could carry from the rubble of their homes, as did this man in Chincha, 155 miles (250km) south of Lima.

Is it wrong that the first thing I thought of was this?


"That painting was a gift. I'm taking it with me."

Yes, for equating a terrible tragedy with Wedding Crashers, I'm a terrible person. But you knew that already.

Ack!

So, I checked my mail today and found this friendly postcard in my mailbox (These are small, but you'll get the idea...):






Umm, excuse me? How did this ad campaign meeting go? Probably a little like this...

Post Office Ad Exec 1
Hey, Bob, how should we let people know that the current Post Office is fuckin' wired. People can do, like, everything with the internets! We need a clear signal that we're modern and up with the times. What screams "modern"?

Hmm... what do the kids these days like... are they still into Rock 'Em Sock 'Em Robots?

POAE 1

POAE 2
Damnit! That must be so effective!

POAE 1
I know. Wait... I think I've got something... idea forming...

POAE 2
I think I've got one too! You go first. Whatcha got?

POAE 1
I got it! We'll use Cathy! It's brilliant!

POAE 2
Cathy? The comic strip?

POAE 1
Yup.

POAE 2
The one that's had the one freaking joke every day since 1976? That no one reads? That no one finds funny? That no one even remembers ever being funny? That rivals Family Circus in sheer level of mockery, satire, and outright parody?

POAE 1
That's the one.

POAE 2
Sounds great! I had an idea, but let's go with that.


It's too bad they went with Cathy... since Ad Exec 2 had a great idea:

Elmo didn't start the fire

I'll have a "year in review" style post up in a few days, I think. In the meantime, here's the funniest (and seriously creepy) thing I've seen in a long time:

A Tickle Me Elmo on fire.



Cheers! Hope everyone had a happy new year!
