At 11 o’clock on Thursday 15 January around 350 people broke into a choreographed dance routine in London’s Liverpool Street Station for the shooting of a new advertising campaign by T-Mobile based on the them Life’s For Sharing.

The event was covered by the Daily Mail in London if you want to read all about it. Also, Nik Rawlinson, the editor of MacUser magazine, happened to catch the prelude.

Look, any time you’ve got a character in an advertisement named T-Bone it’s an indicator of things to come. But after the first 7 minutes of brutally bad acting and terrible story line the good news is that you are treated to a horrible rap song about Windows 386!

Seriously. If you can sit through this entire 12 minute promotional video without your head exploding I’ll be very impressed. It’s just sooo bad. I only finished it myself as an experiment to make sure I wouldn’t kill any of you by actually exposing you to this crap.

Well now there is a great little service called Price Protectr that allows you to specify the Web site of the item you purchased as well as the date and price, and it will watch that product for 30 days and notify you via e-mail if it finds a lower price.

First, the disclaimer. I am not a member of any political party. When it comes to voting candidates must earn my vote based upon the issues I actually care about.

Now, moving on… There is a very amusing little video working it’s way around the Internet in which a man offers $100 if anyone can name all of the Republicans who are “under criminal investigation or already convicted” in just one breath.

This is a fantastic piece of marketing, although in my opinion it’s almost completely without merit. The video is 59 seconds long, and only 15 names are read, but it leaves you with the general impression that all Republicans are, well… criminals. Here, see for yourself:
