Diesel’s new internet LOLZ campaign. Is so v good.
Kids these days are preferring to spend their time on social networking sites instead of surfing for naughty pictures on the internets. The research of author Bill Tancer who is the General Manager of global research at internet data and statistics company Hitwise has shown that:
Social networking sites are increasingly eclipsing pornography consumption over the ‘net — and underscoring a shift in how people communicate.
It really shouldn’t be too much of a surprise that Gen Y are more focused on using the social networks. This is the generation that grew up with unlimited access to copious amounts of adult image and video material they’re already tired and desensitised to the stuff. Plus I’m guessing they’re using Facebook and Myspace to satisfy their urges via hookups and dating in real life. Who’d a thunk it? Maybe I should try it some time. Nah. My avatar in Second Life gets plenty of action already.

Update: ok, ummmm…despite filing this under “You can’t photoshop this stuff. This is the real deal.” it turns out it’s a fake. How were we meant to know? Sorry readers, the internet and Governor Palin.
Shareholders were cranky at Aristocrat Leisure for not being open enough about its true financial position so brought a class action against the pokie machine maker who will now pay $40 million to settle the dispute. Great news. Though, for some reason I still think someone is missing out on all the mad coin from the pokies. Ummm…oh yeah, the punters.

It’s so unfair. Hillary’s candidacy told little girls “try with all your might, do everything that a man would do and more, and you still might not succeed.”
Sarah Palin’s nomination says, “one day you might be discovered and plucked from obscurity like an Idol contestant, so just keep yourself pretty and nice so when that happens, you’ll be ready.”

Australian TV viewers damaged themselves last night by watching it, Nine and its management confirmed it’s blokey with no real interest in what people want to see except if its half n-ked, swears or makes the Footy Show look like Oscar winning TV. Even though Nine’s problem trace directly back to Kerry packer from 2001-02 onwards, in this case he is the only person to emerge with any credit from this long, drawn out saga. David Gyngell is not even in the same room when it comes to Kerry Packer. - Crikey’s Glenn Dyer commenting on Nine’s rebirth of Australia’s Naughtiest Home Videos
