CBC: 120seconds.com. The requirements blurb is funny – a standard list of components you’ll need (Real 7, Flash, etc.) and then, “One final warning: we did everything we could, but the site just sucks with IE4.5 on Macs.”
Sometimes people write
parodies that are so on-target they’re not even funny – they’re kind of spooky! SoYouWanna fake being an indie rock expert? is a great example of that. If it were serious, I would nit-pick that the history section is off quite a bit in ignoring the whole “import” phenomenon that existed back in the early 80s, immediately before CDs came along. I know, I was there. [link found via Peterme]
Since this morning, a kind
soul has informed me that it was indeed Kevin Kline, and that he was speaking random Russian, not Italian, phrases. So not only have I had an odd scene popping into my head, but an erroneous memory of an odd (yet very funny) scene. Time to see it again, I suppose.
I was away
in Ottawa again, this time for the whole weekend. I must say the city I saw this weekend was much more familiar to me than I’d seen in recent visits, which is a very good thing. I saw a certain Aunt from Alta Vista who I don’t see very often, who mentioned exactly how much older my cousin is than I am, which in turn confirmed to about 95% certainty that my cousin was in a specific person’s grade 8 class, which is really funny news. No embarrassing link, but there might be one person chuckling while they read this. Oh – said cousin now teaches at that very same school.
It seems like
a joke, but it looks like they might be doing something interesting, similar to InfraSearch. They’re wrapping it up with killah funny marketing, that’s for sure. OpenCOLA the software, OpenCOLA the softdrink. Both are open-source. Both from Steelbridge in Toronto.
