As the credit crunch bites, people are finding different ways to cope with their money problems. Some are carefully sticking to a budget, others are cutting out unnecessary luxuries… and at least one person is scribbling all over final demand letters to make himself feel better.The anonymous author of dearfinaldemand.com - who describes himself as ‘a d*** when it comes to money’ - has been posting the creative results of his scrawling online, and is inviting anybody else who does the same to submit their own defaced letters.
The tone of his responses to the final demands ranges from sweary outrage to poignant meditations on the responsibilities of adulthood, along with gleefully petty one-upmanship when the debt collectors spell his name wrong.
The author notes on the blog: ‘It’s therapeutic, especially after getting The Red Ink Sink immediately after opening one of these awesome pieces of communication.
‘If paper could feel pain I’d be constantly kicking sheets of A4’s heads in.’
But i thought he said "we will extend a hand if you are willing to unclench your fist". Mixed messages already!!!
...and I'm wondering, how does she know they 'fist' each other.
I'm not sure if people are aware of this, but you can now play this game 'Street Fighter' on YouTube. A pretty classic game, I'd refer this boring but hey, this is pretty creative and interesting that someone can make a game out of video.
START PLAYING HERE:
All of the clips are animated by Boivin himself, using Street Fighter action figures to create the action.
Granted, it doesn’t have quite the same adrenaline rush of playing an actual video game, but it’s a great piece of work that must have taken him an absurdly long time to put together. It’s not the first use of YouTube annotations to create this sort of interactive adventure - but you can expect to see a lot more of it in the future...

This caucasian guy named Joe has set up an ad wishing for a guitar lead for his black metal band. This ad is finally recognized by a ghetto from the east side, so he calls Joe to ask if he could join the black metal band. For some reason, Joe did not want this caller to be in the band. Why? Find out yourself. The caller didnt seem to get what Black Metal was, so Joe defined it as 'Dark and Evil'. The caller then argues back by admitting himself 'Dark and Evil'.
In the spirit of American politics, let us remember the past as we begin our new future...
Senator Robert Byrd during the Vick dog fighting hearings. Earlier at Obama's lunch, the Byrdman passed out and needed medical attention.
I'm very impressed with myself over the last 24 hours, I managed to get a number of more than 60 blog visits from the United States Of America and some multiple visits from the United Kingdom, Canada, Germany and etc. in just 24 hours.
HERES FOR YOU:
Sometimes, it takes only the littlest things to make the internet go completely insane. For example, there’s Boxxy.
Boxxy has been unavoidable online for a while now, which is fairly impressive given that she’s just a teenage girl with a webcam, a YouTube account and a tendency to spout hyperactive nonsense at an astonishing rate. As a result of her video, her YouTube account has now been hacked, dire threats have been issued, and several minor wars may have broken out.
It all kicked off when Boxxy’s video was posted to the notorious 4chan /b/ messageboard, as a challenge to see if anybody could make it through the entire video without going mad. Quickly, /b/ split into rival pro and anti-Boxxy factions, with one camp determined to wipe out Boxxy, and the other determined to marry her. Things got worse as Boxxy responded to the attention she was getting. The /b/ board ground to a halt, swamped by non-stop Boxxy wars.
Eventually Boxxy’s real-life identity was identified, and her YouTube account was broken into. She was told to never, ever make a video again. But it was too late. As a result of the attention it had been getting, the original Boxxy video is now replicated all over the web, with all the usual fakes, parodies, remixes and fury.
You can read the full history of the whole sorry tale at The Boxxy Story blog.
The Boxxy madness has broken free and started roaming the internet. Within days, she will be unavoidable. Frankly, we're not helping on that front. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

Definitely the headlines of every newspaper in the world. Barack Obama has officially become the 44th President Of The United States. ..and this happened before his oath of office. I spent the night up, watching the whole ceremony on CNN and if you noticed this, you might've heard that the oath was screwed up just because of the word 'faithfully'. ..and by the way, now former Vice President of The United States, Dick Chenny arrived on a wheel chair to the Inaugural cermony. News says he injured his back while packing up his boxes out of the white house. Dont they have people to do that?
