My attention has been drawn to this video. It’s a pretty humorous attempt to write a simple perl script using Vista’s voice recognition feature.

The FCC is complaining about Prince’s halftime show because of a ‘phallic’ reference. At a point in the show, Prince played his guitar behind a large sheet which had his shadow projected onto it. The fashion in which he was holding his guitar created an image that slightly resembled a penis.
This is a complete outrage, […]

Snickers aired an ad during the Superbowl in which two guys accidentally kiss and then rip out a handful of chest hair in a manly response. It made me laugh when I saw it, and I thought it was clever. At no point during or after the commercial did I think, “Yea, they’re right. Homosexuals […]
