Epic Boat Fail

It's understandable if some damage is incurred while docking (we're all human), but his must be the worst parallel parking job I've ever seen. How did this boat captain ever get a license?

Pay Per Post pawn's party-crash ploy played out

Melissa Gira Grant · 03/11/08 11:40AM

After the line to get into PureVolume Ranch hit capacity around 2 a.m., the RVIP Lounge played host to a raucously geeky afterparty. As we idled outside the Hilton, this fellow from Pay Per Post, a company even Arrington thinks is evil, tried — and failed — to board. Party maestro Jonathan Grubb denied him. The grounds?

This is hopefully the end of the "Conde Nast Fails At The Internet" saga, which was analyzed here by Nick Denton, my publisher and the man most likely to gloat. IDK, be my BFF on Flip Facebook!

Michael Bay Just Blew My Mind. Now Could Somebody Blow His Brains Out?

The world's worst filmmaker recently starred in a Verizon broadband ad parodying his blow-it-all-up-and-chant-"awesome" style, an ad which many received without critique, as if Michael Bay was letting everyone know he's in on the joke — that he knew he's just a soulless moneymaker. Bay has reduced of his body of work into a 31-second ad. And impressively, nothing has been lost. Before the analysis, watch the work in question:
