Left 4 Dead 2 Parody (Video)- Wendy's Commercial

This is the funniest thing I have seen in weeks.

University of Florida prepares for Zombie Apocalypse.

They have a plan. We should all have a plan! Which reminds me: I've been toting around a copy of Max Brooks' "The Zombie Survival Guide" in my bag for almost 2 weeks now. I bought it months ago in Edmonton and have yet to read it. Guess I need to get my butt in gear!

Doug Johnson, the manager of UF's e-Learning Support Services, is the man behind the plan. He didn't realize his fun little project was going to gain the media's attention but the story has now made it's way to the The Gainsville Sun, The Miami Herald, and MSNBC.

I found this very entertaining and all the people posting negative comments on those sites just need to lighten up. There's always some jerk out there that's going to berate anyone for anything. I think it was a fantastic idea! It was for humorous purposes, aka NOT TO BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY! Geez, some people just need to go out and get drunk. Besides it was written on the authors own time, no college funding was wasted, and the recovery plan was promptly removed from UF's website before it gained popularity. (click here to see for yourself).

With that being said... I'm opening my Zombie Survival guide. Thank You Max Brooks, and thank you, too, Doug Johnson, for having a sense of humor.

I just love this vid. I watch it form time to time to cheer me up! Thanks for sharing, Kai!

Favorite Quotes from Undead and Unwed by MaryJanice Davidson.

This book had me rolling with laughter. I definitely want to continue the series.

Here are some of my favorite quotes:

"Father," I said, "you have to help me."
"I'll be glad to help but I'm not a priest."
"I'm going to hell, and I didn't do a damned thing to deserve being damned. Except for that whole double homicide thing. But it was an accident! Plus, I should get points for saving Justine and her mom."
"I said I'm not a priest, miss. I'm the janitor. And this isn't a Catholic church--we're Presbyterians." -- pg 25

"I should shove my my fingers into his windpipe! Up his ass! Around his--" --pg 83

"I was fast, I was strong, I was...I was SpiderVamp!-- pg 84

"The thing that terrified me the most were zombie movies. After watching Resident Evil I had nightmares for a week. It was ironic, because now I was one of the unkillable monsters." -- pg 101. I mostly like that one for the R.E. reference :)

"I became gloriously transformed in 1972."
"That explains the nails and the bell bottoms."
"These are in again!" she nearly screamed, pointing to her Gap knockoffs. --pg 113

"If you ever- ever- accuse me of being prejudiced again, I will knock you on your fat ass. If you've got a problem with someone who treated wrong, go take it out on them." --pg 180

"I'd never talked to a former prostitute before. Oh, the questions I had! How was the money? Were the pimps as bad as they seemed in the movies? Was there a dental plan? .... Was pregnancy considered an on-the-job hazard by OSHA?" --pg 181

Avon's Newest Product Closely Resembles the T-Virus from Resident Evil.

Last Friday my Avon lady gave me the new Campaign 7 catalog (March 2009) featuring their newest product. My first reaction: "OMG Avon is selling the T-Virus!" 

Then the Umbrella Commercial ad for Resident Evil: Apocalypse started playing in my head.

The product is called Derma-Full X3 Facial Filling Serum, and it looks EXACTLY like the T-Virus from Resident Evil. Needless to say, my Avon Rep wasn't amused when I tried to explain the humor in it. Plus, my co-workers looked at me like I had lobsters crawling out of my ears when I went all "geek" about it.

But let's compare shall we?

I don't see any difference! Even the "doctor" placed in the Avon ad sells the whole "Umbrella scientist look." All she needs now is a little Umbrella logo on her lab coat.

The comparison hasn't gone unnoticed by far. It's been all over the internet: You Tube, Geekologie, and even (go figure) totallylookslike.com just to name a few.

I told my Avon Rep (who sits not 5 ft from me everyday) how much attention it's gained, she just gave a false little laugh then went about her business. Pft, she's no fun!

Anyway, I'm anxious to see if Avon sales will boost because of this. I think they should rethink their marketing strategies, unless their goal is to bring about the zombie apocalypse before the Canadians do.

Have a good weekend!!!

Umbrella Commercial just for fun!
