Give your valentine the gift of brotherhood PDF Print E-mail
 

Written by Thingfish, on 14-02-2008 02:31


renaldo-lapuz-150.jpgStuck for a last minute gift for your valentine? Renaldo Lapuz has a heartfelt solution for your romantic needs.

Mr Lapuz, probably the greatest talent ever to emerge from American Idol, will call up your better half and bellow a lungful of brotherhood in her ear, with a personal performance of his internet hit "We're Brothers Forever".

All this for as little as $2 - he's doing a name your price clearance sale on the deal. This is the bargain of the century. Not only do you get the satisfaction of delivering your loved one an unforgettable valentine's experience from a future internet megastar, but you rescue the great man from his Walmart warehouse, and (to quote his Web site ) "help fund Renaldo's travels so he can follow his dreams and spread his LOVE, peace, and joy to people all over the world!"

Not since the lovely Alyssa Alano performed Keys Me a couple of years ago, has such an insidious earworm been unleashed on the internet. You just need to hear Renaldo belt out Brothers Forever one time and it'll be bouncing around in your head for days.

It's not just the tune, it's the personality. Renaldo has such an infectious, unabashed enthusiasm for what he's doing that you just can't help but want him to succeed.

Since the show went out in January (last week in always-late Hong Kong), Renaldo has become a global phenomenon. YouTube is awash with remixes and tribute videos, his free ringtone is no doubt disturbing millions of innocent ears, he's apparently been offered hotel residencies, NBA appearances and record contracts, and he's now officially more popular than either Kelly Clarkson or Elvis Presley. Not bad for a former Quezon City tricycle driver.

No entertainer is more popular than Elvis Presley. Elvis was 'Sui generis'.

China's moonshot revealed as dodgy Photoshop

china-simp-75.jpgJust a week after Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao unveiled China's first Moon photo, a sleuthing spaceblogger has discovered Mr Wen may have been hiding something. "Chinese people's dream of flying to the moon for more than 1,000 years is beginning to materialise" said Wen at the time. And apparently all they needed to realise that dream was a copy of Photoshop.

You can take anything you want
happychappy-75.gifLast year, a YouTuber uploaded the world's most entertaining keep-fit video, in which a George Costanza-lookalike with knickers on his head robbed a terrified Japanese woman. Three girls then jumped around a bit, demonstrating the vocabulary you'll need to protect yourself from a geeky gaijin armed with a nail file.
