Hock Show Weekend Top Five for October 4th – 10th, 2009
1. We Shot the Moon. Hey, guys? Is there water on the moon? You know what would we should do? Shoot a cannon at the damn thing and see. Yes. We shot the fucking moon. And we didn’t learn a damn thing because the camera got filled with moon dust. But we shot the moon, you guys! Fuck yeah!
2. The End of Don’t Ask/Don’t Tell Imminent. I usually don’t post about politics here unless it’s really stupid or really funny, but finally. Look, if you’re willing to fight for my country, I don’t give a rats ass what your deal is. And you can tell me if you want. Why you would want to, I don’t know, but…geez.
3. Apple’s New OS Is…Not Going Well. Apple’s new operating system Snow Leopord (join us next year for Alley Cat OS) looks great! Until you realize that it’s been randomly resetting people’s systems to factory settings. Which is…fine…if a bit annoying, except that it completely wipes all their data too.
4. Ziff Davis Is Either a Bunch of Assholes, or They Know Something. Ziff Davis put out a report earlier this week that said that Yahoo was working with the Iranian government to track down e-mail addresses and names for bloggers that blogged during the tempestuous elections. Then they retracted the story after Yahoo bitched about it, but one of the two of them is right.
5. David Hasselhoff’s Life Is About What You’d Expect. The Hoff’s kind of ridiculous, and his life is even more so. He’s been hospitalized a half dozen times in the past few years for alcohol poisoning, and this latest one was a doozy. He showed up to Simon Cowell’s birthday party, got blitzed, got locked up in Cowell’s basement, and punched out a medic who was trying to sober him up. Awesome.
