Another year has gone by and it's time for my annual holiday greeting. From everyone here at production headquarters we wish all of you a safe, joyous, and happy holiday season!
Welcome to the seventh part of our series that features what we here at ET.com found to be entertaining stuff on the Internet.
During the summer, popular humour web site The Onion announced it had been sold off to a Chinese company. Specifically, it had been sold to Yu Wan Mei Amalgamated Salvage Fisheries and Polymer Injection Group. The web site for the company listed it's phone number as 1-877-YU-IS-FISH, which if you speak Cantonese is fairly amusing.
What followed on the Onion web site was a slew of humourous articles and videos that suddenly either dealt with the faltering of the United States as a nation or the emerging strength of China as a superpower.
Consider the video below entitled "Police Still Searching For Missing Productive, Obedient Woman".
"Christopher Pierson, a glassy-eyed, slothful lump of a child who still watches cartoons despite being tall enough to reach a polymer-injection molding station, was endlessly praised Monday for recalling the scant 26 letters in the American alphabet."
We here at ET.com were thoroughly entertained by the entire list of China-themed Onion offerings.
Stay tuned for part eight as we countdown the best of the Internet for 2009!
Technically today was day one of my holiday though I already had the weekend as a head start. I wish I could say I've done some constructive things with my time but I can't. So far, I've done nothing but sleep lots, relax, eat lots of food that's not good for me, play video games, and make an even bigger mess of my apartment.
I'm really enjoying my time off. It's hard to believe I was thinking about working until Thursday. My enthusiasm for these days off is slightly tempered by the fact that there appears to be a fairly significant amount of people on my team who opted to work until Thursday. I checked my e-mail today and there was a surprising amount of chatter going on. I got a few bugs assigned to me. I'm going to have to keep an eye on what's happening at work, until at least Christmas Eve, where I hope everyone will take a few days off. What keeners!
