The Elusive Indiafro

Last Stop for Jaeyaena Beuraheng

(Note: This picture came from here)

When Jaeyaena Beuraheng boarded a bus for the Malaysian border for one of her regular shopping trips in 1982, she had no idea that she wouldn't see her home again for 25 years.


Jaeyaena Beuraheng spoke a local Thai dialect, and when she accidentally took a 700-mile bus trip to Bangkok she discovered that there was no one who could help her find a ride home. To make matters worse her son was called to look at the body of a woman who was hit by a train, and he had confirmed that it was her.


25 years and some dumb luck later she has been returned to her family by some students visiting the homeless shelter where she had been living, considered by most to be mute because they coudn't understand her mumbling.

Must Be That New Math...

New federal rules will require Colorado Medicaid recipients to prove their citizenship, trimming about 200 ineligible recipients,

saving the state about $300,000.

It's too bad it'll cost $2,900,000 to implement the new plan.

The computer updates alone will cost $170,000, according to the federal government's own figures.

That'll show'em.

Boston Bomb Scare UPDATE

Scott Ott of ScrappleFace has uncovered details of some of the other "guerrilla marketing" techniques that Turner Broadcasting was considering as part of its ad campaign for its show Aqua Teen Hunger Force, and I think it will put to rest any doubts that the electronic "billboards" were designed to provoke a terrified response.

Intel Is REALLY Important

In fact, some say it's more important than cancer.

Join us later for a special press release where Bill Gates

announces that Vista is more important than AIDS...

I Bet He'll Think Twice Next Time...

...before slapping down a headline.

XBOX 360 Laptop

For the geek on the go who just can't stand to be away from his XBOX 360 (and just happens to have a few thousand dollars burning a hole in his pocket).

Something New Under the Sun

I just ran across this band from Brazil and they're starting to grow on me. They're CSS, which stands for Cansei de Ser Sexy (Tired of Being Sexy).

A Message to the City of Boston: MORONS!

So yesterday there was a bomb scare, which is to say that some people were scared that there might be a bomb. There was no threat called in, and no terrorist chatter, just a bunch of small LED billboards depicting one of the Mooninites from Aqua Teen Hunger Force flashing away the middle finger. These things had been hung magnetically from bridges, on the sides of buildings, etc. for weeks. Boston officials shut down the city and sent in the bomb squads, and now are launching an active media campaign to deflect accusations that they're a bunch of idiots for running to the media about their "terrorism" scare by accusing Turner Broadcasting (owners of Cartoon Network) of grossly irresponsible behavior for the electronic equivalent of putting up posters.

I wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, so I tracked down some pictures of the offending billboards. Oh my god it's a bomb!!! (I'd better stop before I have a sargasm)

So what is Aqua Teen Hunger Force? It's hilarious. ...and stupid. Really dumb. No one should ever admit in public that they watch this show. TiVo it in private and chuckle away at the antics of Master Shake, Meatwad, Frylock and Carl from next door, or buy the Aqua Teen Hunger Force DVDs.
