Beating the System (among other things...)

Fed up waiting in traffic while the high occupancy vehicles fly by in the car pool lane? Bring a friend!

Drivers in New Zealand's largest city of Auckland are turning to inflatable passengers to try and beat transit lane rules.

Blow-up dolls, shop mannequins and dogs dressed up as children have all been used to try and justify driving in lanes where vehicles are required to have at least three occupants.

"There were some odd people that tried these antics," North Shore city council traffic safety manager Andre Dannhauser told Reuters.

Drivers caught trying to beat the system are fined NZ$150 (57 pounds(959 American? -MP)).

I wonder if they've created the dual traffic/indecent exposure tickets yet.

Best fucking part?

For a while some enterprising students charged a small fee to get driven past the enforcement officers, before running back up the road to repeat the trick. "The money they generated from that was not enough to pay for the beer for the thirst they generated," Dannhauser said.

BAH HAHAHAHA!!! I love Kiwis.

Update: This is funny, too.

It's old

How could I have possibly missed out on the FAIL blog for this long? My favorite...

But of course, that's just because I'm a misogynist.

Obama Policy Generator

As promised, I threw together a little Obama Policy Speech Generator as inspired by this earlier post. 

Check it out!  If you have any funneh ideas for policies or adjectives to describe the Iraq war, let me know and I can add them in.

Update: This is the initial prototype but we want you, the morons, to give us feedback and hopefully build this up to an entire hopey, changey stump speech with the quality of this Postmodern Essay Generator.

{doubleplusundead}  Just to make things easier, here's the format,

Live from [city or town Obama's presently in]

"Hello!  It's so wonderful be here in[name of a city he's not presently in] today!"

"You see, the thing is [insert sound of mumbling hesitation] this [negative adjective] War in Iraq has taken money away that we could be spending on something important, like [insert massive government program here]."

Update: Greetings Morons!  Thanks for the links, Ace and Snapped Shot and thanks for all the ideas The Nose On Your Face.  Be sure to visit the rest of doubleplusundead!

{doubleplusundead} A second paragraph has been added, cooked up by reader Shibumi, have fun,

People of [insert city name different from above cities], you deserve better than the policies of [insert random Republican.] My [insert a different large government program] will bring prosperity to [insert favorite minority.] By working with our enemies [insert Western European ally] we can defeat those who deny us hope. Only then will our allies [insert enemy nation of America] give us the respect we deserve.

Best Named Awful Video Games

I've been holding onto this for a rainy day. I present to you, ten video games with the most bizarre fucking names you've ever heard:

The Simple 2000 series of budget games had a pretty dull start. It began with generic games with names like "The Cameraman," "The Tennis," "The Dungeon RPG," and "The License Acquisition Simulation -Version for Revised Road Traffic Laws." Eventually they apparently tapped every conceivable dull title possible. Then they started getting weird. Later titles included "The Large Beautiful Woman," which featured a giant woman in a bikini destroying a city, and "The Love Horror Adventure: Drifting Girl," which was about my last relationship. Volume 95 in English, in case you were wondering why such a stupid title took #1, is "Zombies Against Ambulances."

 Zombies. Against. Ambulances.

My favorite game name is actually "Irritating Stick" but the description of the Simple2000 series of games leaves little to be desired. For fuck sake, I honestly want "The Large Beautiful Woman."

 Rampage has nothing on that!

One of the five Batmobiles from Tim Burton's Batman is for sale.  The price tag?  Just $500K, and she's yours.  The Batmobile is 20 feet long, sits on a custom chassis and has a Chevy 350 motor.  No doors, so you have to jump into it.  It is pretty sweet, check out the pics.   You know Michael, you really only need one kidney...
