Gag Reviews of Diamond Encrusted HDMI Cable

While snooping around Google+, I found a link to a bunch of funny reviews for this ridiculously priced diamond encrusted HDMI cable. But first, a little background. I've seen this kind of stuff before. On Amazon, hundreds of people posted ridiculous reviews for this stupid t-shirt that had two wolves howling with a full moon behind them.

If you are a tech geek, I highly recommend you read the reviews for this HDMI cable. The review below was one of the funnier ones I read.

"It was during my 32 viewing of The Phantom Menace that I began to lament the disservice of Jar Jar Binks. A phenomenal portrayal, my tv doesn't do the character justice. I needed more. Perhaps, I thought, it was my HDMI cable that was the culprit. Yes, I knew it was. I needed a cable that could faithfully relay the Gungun dialect with its delightful linguistic playfulness. I needed a cable that could realize in true definition Jar Jar's floppy ears and big teeth, his Steven Tyler-ness so to speak. Off to Best Buy it was.

Having arrived, I was in awe of the cable selection. There were tungsten/graphene alloy plated HDMIs and barnacle-encrusted VGAs with optional gold leaf insignia. But then I saw her, the AudioQuest Diamond 3.3 HDMI cable in Dark Gray/Black for the measly price of $1059.99. I snatched it as if it were the last scrap of food in the world. Looking furtively around at other customers I sprinted to the cashier and paid, but it felt like stealing.

At home, I plugged her in. I was brought to tears as Jar Jar came to life on the screen. His performance was even more magical than I had ever dreamed. After watching Phantom, I popped in Lord of the Dance to see if there was a noticeable difference with 3D. What happened next was indescribable. The images began to slip into 4 dimensions. I could now watch as the Irish dancers pranced back in time to Cretaceous period where they were eaten by Velociraptors. Then the Velocirapotors began doing an Irish jig and were transported back on stage with the Beatles on the Ed Sullivan show. Then they ate Ringo.

I am currently using my cable to perform self-surgeries with some modest success. All in all, money well spent."

Hilarious! Now back to reading the rest of the reviews.

Kanye and Jay-Z Twitter Hate

So, I'll share a little secret with you. The best way to find new music is to follow your favorite music artists and record labels on Twitter. By doing this, you also get to hear their opinions on other people's music. I have a list on my Twitter account where I follow 37 other Twitter accounts. As my favorite artists or record labels mention a new artist or a new album release, I follow that new artist or preview that new album on Amazon MP3. I've found so much good stuff on Twitter by doing this. This helps me keep current with the music I like.

Anyway, to the point. I was catching up on my music on Twitter today. I found a few tweets from my favorite music producers regarding the new Kanye West and Jay-Z album, Watch the Throne. Let's just say I didn't read anything positive. First of all, Blockhead's comment is hilarious:

I'm thinking about releasing a book called "Watch the throne".It's contents will be made up entirely of tweets I've made about shitting.less than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet ReplyBlockhead

I don't think HudMo liked it either. He deleted his tweet about the album, but I retweeted it before he hit the delete button. Here's what I retweeted. Not making this up:

RT @Moanhawke Ok I've watched the throne all the way through, still waiting on something happening... #moreKanyeJayZhateless than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet ReplyJohn Delaware

I think Flying Lotus is indifferent towards the album. Here's his facetious comment:

ok im not gonna say anything bad about watch the throne. I like some stuff on track 7.....There.less than a minute ago via web Favorite Retweet ReplyFlying Lotus

And what is my opinion? I'll probably never listen to the whole album and I might hear a few tracks from it while I try to dance up on chicks at the club.
