I was just perusing Eric3579's recent MeatSpace meets VideoSift post, and, after following the links, I found this video. I want one.

I was going to post this to Dag's profile, but I figured many of you out there might want one, too. So, make your voices heard and maybe the volume might pique Dag's intere$t.

It seems there was some kind of copyright thing that made the last round fail, but I believe we have a pretty ridiculous pool of creative people who could generate a sweet--copyright friendly--graphic.

I would wear the shit out of a VS t-shirt, and I think others would, too.

You know the one, here on the Sift, it's for a dating site or somesuch -- a blonde woman whispering in the ear of a brunette. The brunette's upturned bovine gaze, her toothily gorming mouth -- fuck. Drives me nuts. That is all.

"The Times is reporting today that this year's crop of crazy expensive Super Bowl ads is going to be tamer than usual. Basically babies talking on webcams. Awesome. This got me thinking about Super Bowl commercials that were actually memorable, and after some searching I put together this list of 25 (after the jump.) Once you've watched all these you and that chick at your party who doesn't give a sh*t about football will have something to talk about..."

Gold Pill makes your poop glitter for Just $425

From: dvice.com [click for picture]

If you've got so much money that you're just looking for new ways to waste it, Tobias Wong and Ju$t Another Rich Kid created the Gold Pill for you. It's a pill dipped in gold and filled with 24-karat gold leaf. You're supposed to eat it "to increase your self-worth." That would be funny if it didn't cost $425 for the joke. Supposedly an added benefit is that it will make your poop sparkle, but no one seems to have proven that part yet (and if you do, please don't send us the pictures). This is either genius social commentary or a brilliant way to bilk rich people out of their money. If Wong's name sounds familiar, it's probably because he also created the $2,000 ccPhone.
