  2. And as always Ze was first. Should have read about “Earth as a Sandwitch” project…

  3. That pimp in the fun fur hat really hates his consumer electronics.

    The clip needs more close-up reactions from the crowd that’s waiting in line. That’s the real payoff for this kind of stunt. Maybe they’ll insert some in later edits.

    Ah, smashing stuff. It’s comedy gold — ask Gallagher and David Letterman.

  4. wait a sec. today, it’s rocketboom with Joanne. someone forgot the Colan! That’s ok though i watched the intro a couple of times and i think its pretty smooth without it.

  5. Yep, that dig-a-hole tool is no more than Ze’s find-the-opposite, Earth Sandwich tool.

  6. Aw geez…

    If I dug right in front my doorstep, I end up in the ocean, and I’d probably flood Toronto.

    I know lots of Canadians that may enjoy the prospect of a washed out Toronto, but I think I’ll withhold the dig. For now, at least…

    Try having a conversation with a real person.

  9. Why smash the PS3 and then record it with a low-grade video camera?

    I approve of the trespassing because private (real estate) property is overrated. They should trespass in Chernobyl, too.

  10. um, wait, China unbanned wikipedia but then they banned it again:

    http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=06/11/17/1828240

    did they re-unban it?

    bc I can find no mention of that.

  11. apparently in japan homeless men were getting paid by mobsters to wait in line and buy ps3 units “(…) so that they could be resold for greatly inflated prices”

    more here:

    oh yeah and then you have people getting robbed at gunpoint for their units in the US.

    there is definitely a dark side to the ps3 debut..

  12. I’m surprised nobody mentioned it or even noticed it, but now it’s RB with Joanne.

    The Colon has been dropped…and I like it. Sounds more, more….I’ll think of a word later.

    So now we have RB with Joanne.

    Have you changed your birth certificate yet?

    Joanne…

    Hmmm, you got me thinking (a rarity I know) may I’ll just call myself B…I’ll think about it. Man. oh man, life is tough.

  14. Young people in developed countries unhappy, survey says

    http://today.reuters.com/news/articlenews.aspx?type=domesticNews&storyid=2006-11-20T000837Z_01_L19430195_RTRUKOC_0_US-LIFE-GLOBAL-SURVEY.xml&src=rss&rpc=22

    Wonder if this survey was done before or after the introduction of Play Station 3

  15. Sorry if my previous post sounded cynical. I look at it in context now and it almost seems like i’m hard-charging against rocketboom. This is not at all my intention.

    Joanne Colan, may you keep a spark in your eye and a spring in your step! I think you are great !

  16. Joanne Colan -> Joanne. What’s next? An unpronouncable symbol? The anchor formerly known as Joanne?

  17. Nab, those were my thoughts exactly, Joanne had more spunk today than usual. It’s as if some lucky guy has found her, I’m just hoping she keeps it a secret. A guy can dream that he has a chance, can’t he?

  18. POD

    I liked today’s edition.

    It was a bit newsy, had some cool links.

    The format and style was more like that of many of the Rocketbooms pre-June of this year (and that’s hunky dory with me!)

  19. I’m certain my previous post sounded cynical. I like hard-charging against rocketboom. This IS my intention.

    Leron, thank you for the link. Saved me from looking it up myself. Seems that Ze Frank convinced the world to create an earth sandwich and the winner was announced last June. That makes Drew about 5 months late.

    And Drew can’t claim he doesn’t visit Ze’s site. After all, how did he know to attack Lala at the vloggies?

    Dang, I just got deleted…again.
