“Unfaithful” Gatorade Bottles Found in Denver

Of course after I rant about how I’m sick of hearing about Tiger Woods, I come across a great video of some kids who were able to create “Unfaithful” bottles of Gatorade in an elaborate pop art project. They’ve only been found in Denver (so far.) Check out the video after the jump.

Who’s getting sick of hearing about Tiger Woods and his 99 problems?

I am. Here’s why:

He’s not the first rich guy to cheat on his wife multiple times
Nor is he the first rich guy with a “squeaky clean” public image to enjoy a bunch of side dishes once in a while most of the time. And he’s definitely not the first guy whose wife beat the living hell out of him in front of tons of people!

He keeps popping up on my Google Reader
I’m a reporter for a legal paper, so most of my search terms consist of terms like “attorney,” “court date” or “counsel.” Of COURSE one of Tiger’s problems has a lawyer based in Denver, not to mention the slew of other stories mentioning Elin’s divorce lawyers or Tiger’s legal team.

The jokes are getting old
Just kidding! They’re still funny! The first few weeks the scandal broke, all of the writers for our favorite late night hosts had a field day, pulling jokes out of every nook and cranny of Tiger’s naughty bits. Ooh, I smell a montage:

Remember AOL?

Remember those days when connecting to the Internet meant dialing up a connection that sounded like nails scraping against a chalkboard broadcast over a transistor radio? Trying to access your email in the evenings was usually an hour-long affair, you could make dinner and do the dishes while waiting for a Web site to load and those damned CDs. You know, the ones from AOL that you’d find everywhere in creative packaging that advertised 4000 hours of free Internet time to be used in a month?

Dial-up made AOL big. So big that it used $147 billion of inflated stock to buy Time-Warner in 2001–an event known to many as one of the most disastrous business deals in history. Well Andrew Vanacore at the AP reports that AOL is back to being an independent company after years of hemorrhaging revenue. It’s now only a tiny sliver of what it once was. In fact, I’m not sure what the heck they do now. Their homepage features light gossip, some fancy skins and free email that hardly anyone in my contact list uses.

From the looks of it, chief executive Tim Armstrong wants to turn the company towards the growing SEO market. But according to some digging by reporters New York Times reporters Rolfe Winkler and Martin Hutchinson, a fifth of traffic to their site comes from people who still have dial-up Internet who sign on to check their mail–a population that will only get smaller as those people either get fed up or die.

AOL is one of the oldest existing Internet companies. Remember those CDs? They’re collectors’ items now, with some going for about $10/disc! Advertising, schmadvertising. That’s where the money is, Armstrong!
