Obama porn + where’s K-Rudd?

Thanks to the girls who left me some loving on my previous, PMS-infused post.

Nice comments cheer me up :)

There’s nothing like a bit of Obama porn to help the process. Just found this video and love watching how Obama’s smile doesn’t change. But where’s K-Rudd? Isn’t he hanging out with Obama atm?

Even Colbert thinks you're a Dick

I’ve managed to keep away from a large majority of the events surrounding Bubbles the Chimp’s primary caregiver.

YAY ME!

But I caught wind of my beloved Stephen Colbert covering the atrocity otherwise known as Richard Wilkins Reporting Jeff Goldblum’s Faux-Death.

If I didn’t love this man enough already, this video cements it. Jeff wins points too :)

And because it’s Friday and I’m in a great mood, here’s Keyboard Cat saying goodbye to Michael Jackson:

Great Job, Dick

Did you get caught up in Friday’s Twitter flutter about Jeff Goldblum faux-dying? Right in the middle of us dealing with the loss of Michael and Farrah within hours of each other?

I saw a handful of tweets about Jeff’s demise – I even RT’d one – but the real icing on the cake was Richard Wilkins paying homage to Mr Goldblum’s outstanding career on Friday morning’s Today show. Complete with video montage. You can watch how it all unfolded on YouTube – Part 1 and Part 2.

The website claiming to have the scoop on Mr Goldblum is one of those sites that generates content based on the URL. The http://jeff.goldblum.media…. was what initially gave it away to me. Looking more closely I realised the site didn’t even have a date or timestamp.

But the real give away was the quote at the bottom of the page:

So in the end Dickie Wilkins had that other bloke from the Today show make the apology. Can you say “cringe-worthy”?

It’s one thing for mongs like me to initially believe the fake web site, but there’s a very big lesson in this for real* journalists: DON’T TRUST TEH UNKNOWN INTERWEBS FOR NEWS SCOOPS.

*Yes, I realise some wouldn’t classify Mr Wilkins as a “real” journalist, but he’s more of a journalist than I am.

Obama porn

I’m an unashamed Obama girl. I see or hear Obama on the news and I swoon.

One of my favourite places to check out Obama is the official Whitehouse Flickr Photostream:

And this week this video was released which features John Hodgman more than Obama, but the Obama bits are full of awesome:

And all I can say is…

*swoon*

Rock!

I have so much to tell you (like how the internet is suddenly more awesome), but I’m exhausted, it’s way past my bedtime and I have to share this with you first:

Yes, that’s me with THE Peter Garrett. He was nearby at a function I was at tonight and popped in to say hi. Seriously! When I see you next I’ll tell you all the goss.
