1924 - The New York Times

I am glad his rehab worked out in the end. Oh, no, wait …

In addition to my previous post about the shameful shutdown of Italia.it, I wanted to add a video that is quite old and was used as a worldwide advertisment campaign for the Italia.it website.
Now, watch the first video, which is Francesco Rutelli, our Minister of Culture and Tourism, and then the second, which is … Borat.
Our country must not be so different from Kazakhstan after all.

From an animated gif to a good movie

Being sick in bed and all, I got loads of time to spare which I usually thoughtfully invest in doing … err … nothing.
I was browsing a games forum yesterday afternoon when a gif avatar used by some guy caught my attention and really cracked me up:

Benny

I was wondering where that was coming from, and  started immediately my Sherlock Holmes “Bored at Home” investigation.

Step 1: www.youtube.com.
Keywords: cop, hilarious, shoot, fun.
I first ended up with a video of a cop shooting his frigging foot during a school demostration, amazing stuff.
After some digging though i came across the full video of the gif movie i had into my hands, yey!
Name of the video: “Benny the Supercop” … hmmm we got a name.
Browsing for a while similar videos and reading all comments, I finally found a possible name: Kopps.
A quick check on www.imdb.com confirms my suspect, that’s my movie. Only drawback: It’s a Swedish movie.

Step 2: www.thepiratebay.org
And guess what: my movie is there. 700mb, straight dvdrip.
ETA: 3 hours 20 minutes. not bad.

Step 3: www.subscene.com
Need english subtitles for my swedish movie. :)

Step 4: Enjoying movie
Movie was cool and EXTREMELY funny.
Props to the swedish production.

My investigation was successful, I was once again victorious.
God bless the internet.

Free Wii controller case from Nintendo, yey!

WiimoteThe Nintendo Wii is an incredibly fun gaming console but, as shown in the “Wii Have a Problem” website, it can be dangerous if used without the due precautions.
I personally witnessed my friend Andrea nearly atomizing his thumb finger by smashing it on the wall while playing a match of Wii Sports Bowling, and trust me, it wasn’t that fun anymore.
Anyway, Nintendo is kindly offering to all Wii owners free protective casings, in an effort to reduce injuries caused by flying Wii controllers.
If you live in Italy, you can get yours here (I ordered four, oops :D ): http://wii.nintendo.it/22809.html
