Remember a few months ago when WEB WATCH WROTE ABOUT HOW TO VAJAZZLE YOUR VAJAYJAY?
Seems like since we wrote that article and Jennifer Love Hewitt continued to brag about her own vajazzle experience, a lot of women have since taken the step to make themselves prettier down there with a few extra crystals and glue – some have even resorting to using stick-on earrings.
It’s become a business unto itself to the point where an enterprising web developer even came up with their own voting website called RATE MY VAJAZZLE. Web Watch shouldn’t have to tell you that this site qualifies 100% as NSFW.
And as vajazzling has become more mainstream, comedians have started to joke more often about the vajazzle trend with such bits as THE TOP TEN REASONS TO VAJAZZLE YOUR HOOCHIE, including:

It turns out that everything you could possible want to do online, is available nowadays.
The latest trend?
SELLING YOUR SOUL TO THE DEVIL, ONLINE.
Yes, it’s true – the Internet really has made getting things done more convenient. Before, you had to wait by the side of the road and playing a fiddle before the devil tracks you down to take a bet that you won’t regret. But now, selling your soul to the devil is just another online transaction.

Web Watch was reading a CNN article the other day that shows how important it is to (a) have a good, gripping headline to draw a reader into a story; and (b) a phenomenal opening paragraph that lays out exactly what the story is about.
These are two rules that every aspiring news reporter should try to follow with every story that they file.
Case in point, the CNN article in question: THE DOWNSIDE OF “FRIENDS WITH BENEFITS”.

Everybody needs a good laugh once in a while, even if the laugh ends up coming at someone else’s expense.
This is why Web Watch occasionally wanders over to EMAILS FROM AN ASSHOLE to take a gander on what John Lindsay has cooked up.
Yes, this is another blog-to-book deal, and just like the others, this one is pretty funny.

Web Watch likes bargains, and sometimes you end up getting what you pay for.
Take online shopping site WOOT.COM, for example. For those of you who don’t know, woot.com is an online clearinghouse of discount, discontinued, overstock, and occasional new product introductions. The catch is that woot.com only sells one item a day – and once they’re sold out, they’re gone. The bonus – no matter what you buy from woot, shipping is only $5.
So, on occasion when woot is selling phenomenal stuff, like the TIVO SERIES 3 HD DVR (which normally retails for around $400 new) at a woot-tastic price of $169 for a freshly refurbished model – they can sell out relatively quickly, even when users are limited to buying at most three of each sale item.
Then there are the other occasions when woot is selling inexpensive camera tripods for $1 each, and they do everything in their power to get rid of them as fast as possible and still not succeed in putting a dent in the woot inventory before the day is through.
And that latter situation is what brings us to the famous woot-off, because woot needs to do something with the inventory that even they can’t sell.

It’s been a while since Web Watch last visited the LITERAL MUSIC VIDEO genre.
Trust us, after you watch LOVE IS A BATTLEFIELD at the 3:19 mark, you’ll want to go out and dub up your own.
Sing it with us: “knee kick, knee kick (one two three and….) boobie shake, boobie shake, boobie shake, boobie shake (tae bo, tae bo, tae bo, tae bo)” Continue reading "Video Fun: Love is a Battlefield, the literal music video version"
The Many Adventures of Winnie The Pooh
Winnie The Pooh and his pals have had many adventures over the years, and even though Pooh gets top billing most of the time, Web Watch knows that Tigger is the real star of the show.
Others seem to appreciate the timeless Pooh and Tigger stories as well, and every occasionally we will run across some Tigger and Pooh fan fiction – you know, those fan-created stories featuring their favorite characters. Heck, in 2000, the Canadian Medical Association published their own fan fiction featuring the characters in the 100-Acre Wood entitled PATHOLOGY IN THE HUNDRED ACRE WOOD: A NEURODEVELOPENTAL PERSPECTIVE ON A.A. MILNE that the Pooh characters suffered from various mental and psychological illnesses:

Video Fun: YouTube’s automatic closed captioning goes bad
Closed Captioning Decoder
Web Watch knows that automatic transcription of speech-to-text for closed captioning still has a ways to go.
A lot has to do with the quality of the source audio material. And if you have poor source audio, the chances are pretty good that the transcribed closed captioning will be off more than just a little bit.
