Are you a hipster?
Do you live in some hip world full of other hip people? Constantly gazing off into the distance from your hipster pad while you listen to all that hipster post-modern music?
Do you have an ironic goatee?
Is being a hipster all it’s cracked up to be? Maybe YOU’RE AN UNHAPPY HIPSTER.
Women may find this hard to believe, but single men do think about Valentine’s Day.
Especially since there’s a good chance that they can run into depressed single women who are just looking for a quick hook-up ensure that they didn’t spend Valentine’s Day home alone again this year, with just a bowl fool of cookie dough and a bag full of M&M’s to keep them company as they sit and cry in front of the TV.
Nope, men want everything on Valentine’s Day that women want: just a little action.

If you have watched The Discovery Channel on any regular basis over the past two years, you should have seen their musical promotional video. It’s either called “I Love The World” or “The World is Just Awesome” depending on who you talk to, and is also otherwise known as the “boom-de-ah-da”, “boom-de-yada”, or “boom-de-ya” song, depending on how you interpret the spelling of the refrain).
The clip features scenes from various Discovery Channel shows, such as DEADLIEST CATCH, MYTHBUSTERS, DIRTY JOBS, MAN VS WILD and others, with the stars and guests on the shows lipsyncing the catchy commercial song as they go about their business.
Here’s one of the originals:
And here the Discovery Channel stars themselves sing it live:
We’ve all been travelled a bit across the country and have been disgusted by what we’ve found in a dirty hotel room, right?
Web Watch recalls one hotel we stayed at that was so disgusting that we did everything we could to avoid touching anything in the room (we didn’t have much choice as to where else to stay, and it was only for one night – we figured we could stick it out for a few hours. Of course, we didn’t have a hotel sleep sack to use at the time — that would have been most awesome!).
One year, a travelling companion of ours found a used condom on the floor of her off-strip hotel in Las Vegas. You’d think the cleaning folks would have noticed it was there and destroyed the evidence. (She ended up getting her night comped, but not before subjecting the hotel manager with some very harsh words.)
Even the local news stations have run reports on how you’re not supposed to drink out of the in-room glassware or use the in-room coffee pot at even the fanciest expensive hotels, because those items may not be cleaned in as regular a time period (or in a sanitary way) as a guest would like. Just saying…
The point is that TripAdvisor has released their list of the TOP 10 DIRTIEST HOTELS IN AMERICA, based on survey results they have received from world travellers.

SURVIVOR is one of those shows, especially as it is about to enter its 20th season this month with an all-star HEROES VS VILLAINS theme, that Web Watch loves watching – if only because the show somehow always figures out how to be fresh, exciting, and surprising season after season.
Jeff Probst has even given all future contestants one vital hint on how to survive Survivor, and it all comes down to studying game theory, which Web Watch will cover in a future post.
One thing that Jeff didn’t feel the need to mention is that one key part of being on Survivor is that at some point during the game, you’re going to be naked.
Sure, the CBS censors may pixelate your NO NO ZONE, or the contestants may decide to show off their newly-buffed bodies in an attempt to increase their Survivor-provided 15-minutes of fame — but after 20 seasons (and approximately 300+ contestants), there was bound to be a glut of Survivor contestant nudity available at some point.
It was inevitable, really.

A recent study of submitted tax returns (from 2007, since you asked – the most recent set of data available to researchers who study this type of thing) shows that IF YOU ARE MAKING OVER $32,878 A YEAR, then you are in the top 50% of income earners in the country.
$32,878 is the cutoff point, and the top 50% of all earners — those making more than $32,878 — cover about 88% of all income earned in the country.

RUNNING FROM CAMERA is a funny original blog idea.
Muggezifter, the blog creator, had a great idea for original self-portraits.
He sets the camera down on a stable surface (or has a friend/stranger hold the camera), sets the self-timer for 2 seconds, and then runs away from the camera as fast as possible.
Yup, can’t be any simpler than that.
Certainly makes those staged posed photos on your next vacation seem a bit old-fashioned, doesn’t it?
Web Watch has long held the belief that one of the worst jobs one could have would be the editor of a fishing show:
“nothing…. nothing…. nothing…. wait, what’s that? Oh, never mind. Nothing… nothing… nothing…”
Yes, we stole that joke from someone, but the sentiment remains the same. Not all cool-sounding jobs are all they’re cracked up to be.
Some jobs really do suck. And Mike Rowe and his DIRTY JOBS team has done a great job of showcasing some of those jobs and the people who are proud to do what other folks refuse to try. But he may have missed one or two jobs along the way.
