The Unstoppable Monkeyfarts

with 2 comments

Should I re-start Monkeyfarts? That’s what’s been bouncing around in my head for the past couple of weeks. Now that I have more free time and feeling more optimistic overall, I actually enjoy collecting links from around the internet and posting them somewhere again. But, you know, although the name “Monkeyfarts” is surely eye-catching, I always hesitated to tell some people about it or put it on a resume, despite its moderate sucess. I was thinking of maybe turning Unstoppable into the new Monkeyfarts, which would make it more palletable, but I always wonder how much the name had to do with its stickyness. Would a blog by any other name be so sweet? I’m unsure. Do you have any opinions on the matter?

Another reason to not pay attention to the mainstream

Not sure why I didn’t hear about this sooner, but Sony apparently used a fake movie reviewer to push its own movies and (thankfully) got nailed for it. Talk about scum-tatic.

Now, if they had just disclosed that he was fictional/paid for, they could have spun it as info-tainment or something. But by being shady about it, they get fined. I hope someone got fired over this.
