Ah, Das Racist is hilarious. In fact, I've been thinking that the best hiphop is joke hiphop. Listening to Der Antwoord now, wait, was listening to ... i do need this app.

Photoshop issues aside, I immediately liked the image upon seeing it. Can't say why, perhaps because it reminds me of little colonies growing on an agar plate.

These guys need a lesson in the concept of market size.

@lankysob: Hey, so are you busy tonight?

@sip | bearstronaut: Uh, the problem here is that he is a person, not an ecosystem. This is toxic to an ecosystem but even high pH solutions can be rinsed off in a laboratory situation without significant injury. Also he wasn't refining tonnes of bauxite ore that was laced with heavy metals, he was using lab grade…

@CaptainJack: Exactly.

On the box, it describes the remote as "unique". I'm pretty sure that is how terribly unattractive people describe their looks on Craigslist.

For the commenters saying "twice the class, twice the breakage, duh" I think the story here is that the new Gorilla Glass was supposed to be stronger than the previous screen, but apparently that hasn't translated into, you know, not broken phones.

@sip | bearstronaut: Or perhaps I could say: Ha, yeah man,! It's like totally safe unless it is mixed with other things that are totally dangerous.

@sip | bearstronaut: Are you seriously not understanding this? It is like someone being worried about water because they heard someone slipped arsenic in a victim's glass of water. Alumina is in makeup. People put it on their face. It is safe. Sheesh.

About this one line:

@Dexomega: Then you should know it is inert. The very high pH is the problem. And heavy metal impurities. But alumina is safe itself. Chem fail.

Surprised that some commenters are unimpressed. I think it looks great.

@evilfrog1: The clearer the plastic, the higher purity. If you have low quality plastic, you can disguise it with color.

Agreed, I'd even take the argument a step further and say that it shouldn't be legal to trademark something that people might say in normal conversation. Such a clause may already be in place (could you trademark "excuse me sir?") however it seems that it is becoming loosely enforced at best.

"And there's [sic] 60 carriers you'll be able to grab Windows Phone 7 on all around the world (EXCEPT VERIZON)."

@glenaypia: Nice analogy.

@xaronax: Ah, that joke stays funny no matter how many times it is posted.

@RubiksCube: Hilarious and appropriate.

That was a really sexy glove.
