“Q: Why football? There are so many other kinds of sports, but, of course, football is the best. You’re just great and all the girls in our class are just crazy about you! Your true fan.

Arshavin: I started off playing checkers. When I realized that I won’t be able to become an International Grand Master, I had to leave it for football.”

ryanbrown:

So, admidst all the conversations about Chatroulette’s marketing potential, some enterprising video editor went ahead and gave the medium a chance. Mind you, this isn’t actually on behalf of Fancy Feast, and it’s not entirely revolutionary, but it IS more than just shouting out loud.

mtgenry:

I was curious to see how people on Chat Roulette would respond to advertising so I made this spec ad specifically for the medium.

Here’s another, from Only Fools and Horses, spoken by Trigger:

We have an old saying that’s been handed down by generations of roadsweepers: “Look after your broom” … And that’s what I done … I’ve maintained it for twenty years. This old broom has had seventeen new heads and fourteen new handles in its time.

Trigger is the resident idiot in Only Fools and Horses, but this is a savant moment. As with brooms, so with football clubs: players are bought and sold; managers are hired and fired; ownership changes hands; stadiums are built, renovated, vacated for new digs. But constant throughout are the supporters. Sure, they die out like everyone else, but it is in them that the club’s spirit is in chief residence, from them that it is passed on to the next generation. Fans need not be required to trace their support back through their family tree to the days when their great-great-great-grandfather stood on a wet terrace built up out of rubbish and slag, of course. But it is notable how often a love for a particular team is inherited.

From here.

I hope tonight on The Office when Pam is having her baby Michael says something inappropriate and then Jim looks adorably into the camera and the baby comes out and says, “The Marriage Ref is next on NBC!” and then Jerry Seinfeld bursts into the room and says, “With special guest judge Kelly Ripa!” and then Conan walks into the room and is fired again.

“I’ll stay out of the Guantanamo debate because I haven’t been following it. But on the areas that I know well, the defense of Rahm favored by some Washington Democrats is evidence of everything that is wrong with Washington: It prizes politics rather than policy, and seems interested in the problems Americans are facing only insofar as those problems show up in the president’s poll numbers. In this telling, the measure of Obama’s success is not how much good he does for the country but how much good he does for congressional reelection campaigns. No wonder people hate this city.”

three thoughts concerning the internet, Angela Chase, and ways to learn about game theory

1.

The internet teaches people various ways to present portions of their lives as fun and interesting. Much like with television and advertising, this can create acute self-consciousness in any given internet user, who is constantly presented with visions of other people’s lives that seem way more fun/interesting than his or her own — except, in this case, without the reassuring knowledge that those lives are at least fake. A given internet user might, in fact, start to develop some really visceral form of resentment toward those groups of people who seem, on the internet, to have charmed or enjoyable lives. (One good way to experience this might be to look at pictures from foodies and apartment-decor hobbyists while eating macaroni and cheese on a bare mattress — or even just flick through the Facebook photos of someone who’s mostly pictured at parties.) This feeling may even harden until the given-internet-user is vastly overestimating the amount of fun/interest/self-satisfaction in those people’s lives, simply because the only part of those lives they’re exposed to is the bit that photographs well. That is my best explanation of a funny paradox: when you hear people ragging on, for instance, “Williamsburg hipsters,” they often wind up alleging that the lives of “Williamsburg hipsters” are actually way, way, way cooler, more fun, and more interesting than those lives could possibly be in reality.
