Microsoft are at it again. In return for forced viewing, the advertisers will offer subsidized or free computers to schools.

What's with an accent? Trying to be chic or pretentious or damn right confusing is the ultimate mission of the marketers of Glacéau, Hâagen Dazs, and Mötorhead.

Fred Thompson kicks Ghandi's ass. Another deep and moving article from satirist, Jon Swift who gets his news from Fox News, Rush Limbaugh and Jay Leno.

King Nomar dot com liked their review from The Pisstakers and we are on the list for a chance to win $25. Why not give it a go.

The last pope had a terrible website.

The video review over at Top Funnies features comedian, Dave Chapelle, before he was famous.

Is she giving up sex for a human year or a dog year? - Seth Herzog on Paris Hilton's recent announcement. (Daily quote.)

Ed the Editor's personal blog corner

There was a lot of double-talk on TV last night, and it made me wonder why so many people in the public eye are so full of shit or at the other extreme, are so sanctimonious, you wish they were full of shit.

Paris Hilton is full of it, no doubt. She has decided not to sleep with anyone for the next 365 days. Yeah right, till the next party. She was smart in one respect because it isn't a Leap Year, but on the other hand, what is she trying to achieve by laying bare this latest fad in her disturbed life?

Are we supposed to congratulate her for coming up with one good idea when sober? OK, I will roll over and give her 5 stars for choosing birth control through abstinence. In my eye, the less likelihood of another Paris being bred for this screwy world, the louder she should be applauded. And on behalf of the real world, thanks, Paris, for giving us time to work out a strategy to cope with your impending stupidity in 2008.

And at the other extreme, what was that silly ANM, Robin thinking, trying to be a supermodel model and not even prepared to simulate nudity? Presumably in her world of Christianity, they have no TVs or perhaps there is a nudity filter when perfume and body lotion adverts come on. I am of course being kind, because she showed herself to be a terrible hypocrite, feigning offense at nudity after flashing her boobs at Tyra's right hand man.

Let's face it, it can be no fun being in the public eye, but maybe all pretty celebs should promote the latest must-have fashion accessory - a velcro strip for the mouth.

Today is a day lacking in inspiration for a blog post. So, rather than make up some drivel, I thought it would be better for all concerned to pass you over to a website that has something engaging to say. How about a film about Drunk Americans. The AV club is doing some good and funny work from their hi-tech studios and deserve a leg up. Not that The Pisstakers is going to make them totally famous, but every bit helps.

Plug-ins can add massive amounts of entertainment value to a web site - visitor numbers, latest comments, "Bad music I admit to listening to", the time on Mars.

Nice to see a humble French man for a change. And he deserves a lot of credit for his level of English. Puts the mono-linguists to shame.

Years ago I had the pleasure of teaching English in Spain. In a moment of inspiration I asked a small group of 11-15 year old Spaniards to prepare a 2 minute synopsis of a Harry Potter character. I started with the oldest kid and he told me all about Hermione. Boring. The next revealed all about Hogworts. Mildly interesting. And then it was time for the class swat to tell me all about Harry Potter.

She was the youngest in the group. 11, pigtails, glasses with lenses so thick you needed good eye sight to see through them, and as quiet as a church mouse. She starts, Harry Potter is a nice boy, and has a friend called Hermione, and a dog called Fuck. She had my attention. I asked her to repeat it just in case her accent had got the better of her.

Harry Potter is a ...... and has a dog called Fuck

To make sure my ears hadn't waxed over, chalk in hand, I asked her to spell the name of the dog. With a deadpan face she starts,

F- U-

I quickly rubbed the letters off the board and asked if anyone knew the name of this damned dog. Some grinning 15 year old said it was Fang and the older ones erupted into hysterics. The little girl was still sat there, expressionless, until her neighbor whispered to her what she had said, and thankfully the innocent went as red as a beetroot. That was a good day for all.

Is Beggr for real, at over £800-worth of donations? (Web tech)

One of our "funny" quotes of the day was from a web site featuring, Evohe, a ship that sailed through the North West passage. It is quite a story.

The Pisstakers is a nuclear drug-free zone, but just for a bit of fun, here's a quiz. Match the worst drug with the relevant bar on the graph.

On Monday mornings I am dedicated to the proposition that all men are created jerks. (Harry Allen Smith) (Daily quote.)

Just another manic Monday, I don't like Mondays.... aren't these obsolete concepts in a 24/7 world?

In the days of working Monday to Friday, 9 to 5, 50 years for the same company, I guess the Monday morning syndrome applied. But now, somehow, with every day blurring into the next thanks to 24 hour TV and radio, fewer holidays and general homogenous lifestyles, Monday has lost its significance.

Now Tuesday is terrible, Wednesday worse, Thursday is atrocious and we can't even think TGiF because it's back to work at MacDonalds and Home Depot for millions on the weekend.

Let's hear it for Monday, make it a special day, in memory of how bad it used to be for everyone.

A week in blogs

Funny tech support bloopers Then Zenny reports how Myspace sucked up all available space on the internet; and last tech bit: HR department joke

See how much the Onion is worth! Copy the URL http://theonion.com & paste it on this business blog site - made to make your eyes water!

Unbelievably brutal site reviews from a bunch of girlies from I Talk 2 Much. When it is our turn, let's hope the Pisstakers' skin is as thick as we think it is!

Wolves on a hunt - more classic BBC footage using incredible camera work. They already caught gazelles feasting on grass-shaped mini cameras

The Pisstakers have their own "Overheard In" mini section, but this is a good Sunday morning quote from a serious, beach-based Overheard site

Tucker the Fucker gives hope to bloggers wondering if their content is worth publishing as a book.

The video reviews over at Top Funnies are cool. Brohans are also in their quantum physics element, producing high quality content to accompany videoclips.

No quote today, except to quote Ed in a content-starved moment: Quogr and Quote Mountain sure gave us food for thought this week. (Daily quote.)

The clocks changed today but I don't know if it is earlier or later than it was this time yesterday.

Spring forward, fall back, or is it the other way round? All I know is the clocks have changed at such a weird time that Apple have had to distribute a software update just to make sure the machines get it right. If a computer can't work it out on their own, what hope did I have this morning.

And finally, many Sundays ago on holiday in Spain, I had arranged to meet up with some groovy mad cyclists at 9am. I was staying out in the country, had no watch, no alarm and only a radio for company. To add to the mix, the clocks were changing and my Spanish was so bad, I had no idea what they were saying on the radio.

Being a trier, I woke up at dawn and clamped the radio to my ear determined to learn Spanish!. First panic - Just like in the US, they mentioned 2 times (Spanish time and Canary Island time, 1 hour earlier, or was it 1 hour later?!) I patiently listened to that fricking presenter babble on at 100mph, trying to decipher the time where I was.

Eventually I worked out what he was saying - but by then it was 8 o'clock. That gave me just enough time to miss breakfast and cycle like a loony to the meeting point. I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when half the bastard group failed to turn up.

Enjoy your Sunday roast

blum, blum,blum,bli,blo,blo,bla,bla,bla,blorum,bleece,bleece

I remember back at school many decades ago, the teacher was writing some boring notes on the blackboard, so I took the opportunity to whisper a joke to my friend. He laughed out loud, too loud, drawing attention to himself. The teacher spun round and asked him what was so funny. The git said he was laughing at his own joke, and apologised.

Of course, the teacher wanted to hear the joke, laughed at the punch-line and my mate got all the credit. It was the oldest line in the book.

What do 3, 11 and 26 have in common? They all come with rice.

That glory-grabbing episode occurred in a Latin lesson, and the only other low form of humor I can recall from that horrible subject is: Latin is a language, dead as dead can be, first it killed the Romans, now it's killing me.

And the blum, blum, blum line at the top is the only Latin of interest to Western leaders of late. It is the shortened form of bellum the Romans' word for war, in all its 12 forms.
