Video Fun: Britain’s Got Talent’s BRETT DOMINO TRIO

If you’re one of the millions of people watching AMERICA’S GOT TALENT (and let’s face it, you don’t get to be the number one TV program by not having millions of people watching), then you’ll know that AGT is a little lame compared to it’s older sibling BRITAIN’S GOT TALENT.

BGT has given us Susan Boyle, among other talented artists.  Overall, BGT is just more… fun… than what we get here in the States.

So here’s a little video fun from a former BGT contestant BRETT DOMINO.  Sometimes he performs as a duo, sometimes as a trio.  The important thing is that he owns a keytar and isn’t afraid to use it.

Let’s take a look:

Women of the world – a better pee solution for you!



No Boys Allowed - 2 Girls Using the Men's Room

It’s a common sight at concerts, festivals, or other public events — long lines at the women’s bathroom.

Yeah, we know – women take longer in the restroom than men do.  Bathroom equality in new buildings, and all that.

Web Watch remembers one Jimmy Buffett concert where the entire backside of the bathroom building had been co-opted by girls who were just looking for a place to pop a squat.  They didn’t care that they were peeing in full view of drunk Buffett fans — they were just happy that they had a place to go.

Seeing a lineup of 30 girls all peeing against the side of a cinderblock wall is quite a site.  Power in numbers, indeed.

This week at Comic-Con 2011, news organizations are likely to focus – at one time or another – on the cosplay phenomenon…. especially with what the ladies wear.

Women are using ComicCon as an opportunity to wear their “Sexy Halloween Costumes” more than once a year, especially if their costume of choice involves any type of sexy television character, sexy cartoon character, sexy literary character, sexy sci-fi character, or any other appropriate costume that can have “sexy” put in front of it.

Deconstruction of the Disney Princess, or Rules for becoming a Disney Princess yourself



Disney's Fairy Tale Weddings by David Tutera

There have been any number of sociological reports written about how the Disney Princess marketing department — and let’s face it, the Disney Princess franchise really is a marketer’s dream in terms of how much product is sold — is leading to poor self-image in young girls.

Web Watch won’t harp on these particular topics.

Police investigate topless woman’s sunscreen method



Everybody's Free (to wear sunscreen)
Buy EVERYBODY’S FREE (to wear sunscreen)

In Italy in summer of 2010, a topless woman was casually applying sunscreen to herself as she laid on the beach.

Why? Because that’s what people do while at the beach. 

Especially when one is topless.  Sensitive skin, and all that.

Video Fun: What if laugh tracks never existed? What if they were everywhere?



Bag of Laughs
Bag of Laughs

Have you ever wondered what TV’s popular sitcoms would be like if they didn’t have a laugh track?

That’s right – they’d be just like real life.  In other words, not nearly as funny without the laugh track accompaniment telling us when it’s appropriate to laugh at others.

Let’s take a look at some TV scenes that have the laugh track removed and you’ll see what we mean:

A compilation of Bad Designs



The Design of Everyday Things
The Design of Everyday Things

We’ve all seen braille buttons and signs posted on the drive-up ATM, and many people (unfortunately) then have to mutter to their travelling companions, “hey, look at the braille on the drive-up ATM? How many blind people drive?”

Let’s be honest – the real trick is not that their are braille-labelled buttons on the drive-through ATM, but that the buttons are associated with a display screen.

There’s no braille on the screen, so how would a blind person know which button to select?  Oh, we know there’s an easy answer to this, but Web Watch likes to point it out anyway.  It may be practical to the blind, but to a sighted person, it just looks like bad design.

Embarassing Parenting: Wave at the Bus

Fisher Price Little People Lil’ Movers School Bus

Not everybody’s parents are as cool as Dale Price.

Even if his son, Rain, may have been slightly embarassed about his father’s occasional antics today – what Dale has done for the past year is something that will definitely make for some awesome family stories 10 or 20 years from now.

And Dale didn’t really do anything too complicated.

All he did was the same thing any other modern-day parent does – they send their children off to school on the schoolbus every day.  Of course, Rain is also a teenager, with all the typical teenage angst.  So Dale thought he’d try something a little different this past school year.

It’s just another thing that parents do to embarass their kids: dressing up their kids in funny costumes and taking pictures of ‘em.

Pictures that can be used for high school yearbooks, engagement party photo displays, bar mitzvah autograph boards — you know, anything that can be blown up to poster-size and put on display for the world to see.

Calvin & Hobbes, 26 years later. If only it were true…



Calvin & Hobbes, the last cartoon
Calvin & Hobbes’ Last Cartoon

Comic fans around the world mourned when Bill Watterson decided to stop writing CALVIN & HOBBES.  Considering how much demand there still is for various Calvin or Hobbes merchandise based on the sheer number of counterfeit “Calvin peeing” stickers one sees on the back of pick-up trucks around the country, it was only a matter of time before someone picked up the gauntlet for us fans.

Demand for Bill Watterson’s drawings is so high, any new art from him is newsworthy to the point where the Washington Post had to write an article about Watterson’s first released art in 16 years.

Do you have any tattoos?

If so, are they the same old ones that everyone else has, such as a tribal armband, butterfly on the hip, or an oriental letter on the back of your neck?

Yeah, you thought getting a tattoo would make you unique – but because you got the same tattoo that everyone else has gotten, you’re really just following the crowd.

You know how you and your buddies all sit around on lazy Sunday afternoons just drinking a few beers and watching the game when one of you comes out with some random-ass deep thought about some TV show or movie or something, and it makes complete total sense to everyone else in the room where everyone says, “yeah, why is that, Dude?” and you all nod your heads in agreement but when it comes the next day nobody remembers what the hell you guys were talking about in the first place?

Then OVERTHINKING IT is a website for you.
