British Secondary School - Bloody Hilarious!

Adult Swim has just started showing the BBC show Look Around You. It's a show in the vein of those cheesy 70's and 80's educational videos that you had to keep up with a book assignment in school. Each module has experiments or problems pertaining to subject. The material is absolute gibberish and is great!

WARNING! Not for Educational Purposes!
Here's the module on 'Maths' (yeah, that's Simon Pegg @ 6:56):

Thought Burger King's Ad Campaign was a Mistake?

So did SNL. You can watch the actual (didn't know it was a short film) documentary Whopper Virgins at www.whoppervirgins.com.

Farewell Tony.....

We Colts fans will miss your leadership and quiet strength on the sidelines. Coach Tony Dungy's finally made the decision to hang up the headset after 13 years of NFL headcoaching and 7 years as the coach of the Colts. Coach Herm Edwards said today that Coach Dungy's priorities were in the order of "faith, family, then occupation." Tony's family had moved full time back to Tampa and his heart is for ministry. It's a bittersweet day as it's hard to see him leave, but I know he's doing something more influential in the lives of many in the next stage of his life. Best wishes and blessings for the next stage in life to the 3rd most winningest NFL coach, the 1st African-American coach to win the SuperBowl, and (of course) the first coach to bring home a Lombardi trophy to the city of Indy.

Colts.....Ending of an Era?

It's been hard for me to keep up with football since the Colts' disappointing loss to the Chargers a week ago. Only a day after Peyton is crowned his third league MVP, sharing this achievement only by Brett "I don't know if I want to still play and I'll make you wait" Favre, the Colts self destruct again in San Diego. #18 proved to me why he was voted MVP in that game due to the collapse of the defense towards the end of the game as well as the inability to run the ball....plus the fact that he was able to recover this season from 2 knee surgeries (watch out Mr. Brady, they franchised that Trojans benchwarmer). Anyways, SI.com named Peyton one of the 8 greatest NFL quarterbacks of all-time. Peyton's come along way this season and it's too bad it ended so abruptly. I fear a huge proponent of his success may be gone to - Marvin Harrison. Peyton's aging better half of one of the greatest QB-WR tangents in NFL history is due a salary hike next season. Is the team going to cut him to make more cap room? Will he be willing to take a pay cut? Will Marvin's resurfacing legal situation with his gun in Philly get him a pink slip from Indy? Only time will tell, it's been a good ride while it's lasted.

To Be Like Dungy

I geeked out and bought the Motorola X205 Gaming Headset for cheap off ebay this last week for my 360. It's a replica of the types of Motorola headsets you see NFL head coaches wear while pacing and spitting off the sidelines. Now I can look like my man Tony Dungy while I'm playing Madden or schooling hordes of Locust on Gears of War 2. It's a comfortable headset, and I'll take the circumaural headphone over the standard foam supraaural one that comes with the system.

The possibilities of this headset:
