Ducktales in Arabic


Again, posted this over at the video.amusedme.com site, but again worth a repost, and I think it fits into the geek/childhood retro category well enough to be worth a post here.

Totally immature and ridiculous, but the sense of incongruity I get from watching something so from my childhood and yet so different just makes this video hilarious.

Hilarious Walmart Clown Commercial


Posted this over at video.amusedme.com and although not strictly a geek thing, it’s so goddamn funny, I think it deserves to be posted more than once.

New Era Star Wars Baseball Caps


In the latest round of crazy Star Wars related merchandising, the Japanese branch of baseball cap manufacturer New Era has released a series of Star Wars themed baseball caps, including leather and shiny metallic representations of Darth Vader, R2D2, C3P0 etc.

They are a little pricey at around $50-60 U.S. each, and I don’t know if I’d wear one out in public, but definitely an interesting piece to have in the collection =)
