Does anyone really fall for this phishing crap?

OK, this has to rate as one of the best phishing emails I’ve received. It’s up there with the one on behalf of Ethiopia’s first astronaut who needed my help getting back to Earth:

Used midget, anyone?

I did a quick search for “midget gems” on Google earlier. Don’t ask – it was honestly school-related. No, seriously. It was. Anyway, I spotted the following advert on the sidebar. I was too scared to click on the link in case it took me to some dark, human-trafficking corner of eBay of which I wasn’t previously aware.

The front fell off

Do note that this isn’t a genuine political interview, in case you get an email claiming it is. It’s a skit from a 1991 Australian TV show which I gather a lot of Aussies will recognise. The comedians involved are John Clarke and Bryan Dawe. Very funny indeed!

I thought fishing was meant to be relaxing?

OK, this blog is in danger of becoming a video-fest but these posts are easy to write and this is a funny set of bloopers. The thing that amazes me most about these is the incredibly small amount of swearing.

The Hitchhiker’s Guide To Daleks

I wasn’t going to post tonight as I’m too busy but this is simply too good not to publicise. Yes, the voiceover’s not great but the creator’s aware and is looking into re-recording it.

If you like HHGTTG and Dr Who you will utterly love this. It’s not just the style and the music, it’s the number of references to both sources that pop up throughout. An incredible piece of work.

As an aside, when I checked the video directly on YouTube, it had precisely 42 ratings 🙂
