1993 Crystal Pepsi Launch Commercial

If tasting the future meant tasting 1994, then I guess a few people did.

Sweden Getting Rid of Stamps, USPS Can't Be Close Behind

Interesting news last week that Sweden has decided to get rid of stamps. Instead, the people who still mail things will have to use a text message payment system.

All joking aside about the US Postal Service not adopting this in my lifetime, I don't actually think this is a good idea. If you think about it, people who are regular users of stamps probably don't overlap very significantly with people who are regular users of text messaging payment services.

Where does this leave 89 year old Swedish Grandmothers who wanted to send a small box of Swedish meatballs to their grandkids?

Jet Ski to the dome (almost)

Surfers have been using jetskis and boats for years in big wave surfing, otherwise they wouldn't be able to get out into the swells. Well, this jet ski got a little too close to the break and the ski got worked by a 20 footer and almost hit the surfer:

No Way, Jose!

Jose (if thats actually your name), you're a dumbass. No only will your stupidity get you in trouble with the local feds, but it will likely get you in trouble with some immigration authorities. Your girlfriend looks pretty sick, too. Smarten up.

Simmons Perfectly Describes Rasheed Wallace's Thought Process in Signing with The Celtics

Bill Simmons, I really want to hate you but you do get it. I have felt the exact same way about 'Sheed all season. In describing 'Sheed's motivation ('Sheed? Motivation?) to sign with the Celtics instead of retiring:

'Instead of retiring, I'll just sign with a contender, pocket another $20 million, hang with the fellas, jack up some 3s, play myself into shape during the regular season, then go hard in May and June.'

TCD also has 4th hand data that RaWeed plays a lot of Call of Duty, too. Worthless.

PETA Exploits a Tiger!

Sort of. PETA thought they’d be clever in getting a message across by using “a fun, tongue-in-cheek approach.” Please see this fun approach here. Classy. PETA representative Virginia Fort states that, “The world has been transfixed on Tiger’s life after Thanksgiving. We’re putting the focus where it needs to be.” Uhhh…Cat contraception? Further, Ms. Fort says, “We’re sure Tiger will appreciate our attempt – from a story that’s distracted the world and followed Tiger – to turn it into something for little tigers.” Welp, that’s a quick way to lose any remaining credibility/perception of sanity your organization once had. Who wants to get a steak tonight?

*Thanks to Tom Reed for sending this along.
