@Lucas Jensen: That would be "past" not "passed." I am terrible about that.

@Tauwan: I just think we are passed the point in our society where using the word "retarded" should be even remotely acceptable, and I'm not Capt. PC in the house.

@Audif Jackson Winters III:

You know, people like to knock this song in passing, but time and time again I'm at some party [See Halloween] and this song comes on and people go damn near apeshit and/or know most if not all of the words. But then again, not that hard to do so when in a costume, intoxicated, and getting retar-, ahem, acting a fool. Yes. Acting a fool. Not sure if that works well as a hook for a song though.

I was glued to MSNBC. I thought the floating 3-D Map of America Chuck Todd was working with was something proper, but then my roommate convinced me to switch over to CNN to catch Will.i.am getting his hologram on. Saw it, gawked at it, turned away. That’s all the time you’re getting from me CNN. I don’t care how many Jedi Mind tricks you pull out.

They should've stuck Will.i.am into one of those escape pods and jettisoned him off to Tatooine so he could be beaten senseless by the Tusken Raiders.

For sucking.

I love how Anderson Cooper had to “interview” the hologram. On the plus side — way more interesting than the floating pie charts!

but on the plus side, the Bosstones are releasing a new album and their cover of “Impossible Dream” is up on their myspace

@Audif Jackson Winters III: There was another one before will.i.am. At around 7:30 ET they featured a reporter in Chicago as a "hologram." Wolf Blitzer couldn't stop talking about it for about 5 minutes.

@Audif Jackson Winters III: New advances in humps can't be far behind.

Yeah, I was a little mystified. You roll out this cool technology, and the first guy you feature with it is the composer of “Let’s Get Retarded”?
