friday digest no. 5

January 15th, 2010 • posts i've written

Welcome to another Friday Digest, where I wrap up my favorite posts by other people this week. Remember, if it’s Friday and if you’re reading anything else other than this… you’re doing it wrong.

• Netflix Voyeur – some people like to divide up America based on red states and blue states, conservative values and liberal values, well, I like to use a simpler method: shit taste vs good taste. Yeah. I said it. And that’s that. (I’ve also decided to end all arguments this month with, “and that’s that.”)
• Skewed China birth rate to leave 24 million men single – here’s how this happened: China said “the only thing we won’t mass produce is lead laden toys… HA! KIDDING! We mean babies. Seriously.” And then the people were all like, “Hey, we can use ultrasound to keep the boys and ditch the girls! Yeah! Penis!” Put it together and then you get a Kevin Costner-like post-apocalyptic wasteland where the most precious substance in all the land is Jergens Lotion (kleenex tissues a close second).
• The Limits of Multiculturalism – David Byrne blogs (yes, that David Byrne, Talking Head) on the Hasids vs The Hipsters, Williamsburg Bike Lane edition. If you find yourself ensconced by beautiful liberal women, do what everyone else does – buy the Grizzly Bear album, cuff a pant leg, put your narrow ass on two wheels, and denounce God.
• Dept of Fallen Icons: Corporate Takeover Division – Oh Luke Wilson, worst. gig. ever. I suppose it’s easier to hit rock bottom when you gain 50 pounds.
• 78% of Women Want You to Shave Your Junk, Dudes – Don Q Rum is one of UC’s favorite clients because we get to create awesome content with awesome partners like this.
• MIT is Building a Food Printer – One small step closer to Star Trek, one giant leap to seducing hot green alien babes.
• World Question Center – One simple question, “How has the internet changed how you think?” answered by 12 of the most interesting people in the world including Richard Dawkins, Clay Shirky, Kevin Kelly and the other brilliant 9. This is not light reading, so you may want to put that TV on mute and put the hero sandwich down.

Have a great weekend, get someone pregnant! And make it a girl – when China becomes our economic overlords ladies will be our number one export.
