The fun of watching completely deranged dancing, swirling Germans dressed up as ancient Mongolian dictators notwithstanding, what is it about this annual song contest that is so appealing – at least to us Europeans?

To be fair, the above song and dance is 30 years old. Surely, matters have improved over the years.

Nope…

Okay, the music is better – at least to me, it is – but the costumes have become much, much worse.

This was two extreme examples, I realize that, but the fact remains that the contest is an amazing spectable, completely devoid of anything resembling taste.

An American blogger on the NY times has written this utterly entertaining yet rather harsh article on the contest. Read it – it is well worth it. And do also view the select videos of some of this year’s performers. It is well worth half an hour of your time…

The whole thing really exploded when Ashton Kutcher snapped a picture of his wife, Demi Moore’s uhm, rear and uploaded it for the whole world to see. She was wearing underwear! Every newspaper in the western world picked up the story and suddenly everybody wanted to twit. No mention of the fact that Ashton – aside from being an actor – is also an internet entrepreneur, steadily working on building a portfolio of online offerings – which is great, go right ahead Mr. Moore, all the best, but I would guess that free advertisement around the world worth millions and millions of dollars did not exactly harm his venture:o)

I follow only a few friends which is a bit sad but not that many I know twit just yet. I do, however, follow a number of famous people (sounds like I am stalker:o). Among these are

• Hugh Jackman
• Steve Buscemi – ask me why
• Lance Armstrong – don’t ask me why
• Darth Vader – he is hugely funny
• Bill Gates – who is utterly pointless and extremely dull
• Ashton Kutcher – because everyone else follows him
• Demi Moore – because she’s married to Ashton
• Sasha Grey, Janna Haze, Stoya, Jessica Drake – in the hope these porn stars will post some sleaze, which one of them has so keep reading:o)
• The Onion – cause they are funny as hell
• TIME.com – because they are interesting as hell
• John McCain – because I need to be reminded about the stupidity of politicians in general
• Stephen Fry – because he’s a great English actor and makes beautiful use of the English language and because Ian McKellan unfortunately does not twit
• Peter Kolmisoppi – one of the Pirate Bay guys and I think the verdict over them is a disgrace
• Jon Favreau – no, not Obamas speach writer (which would be great) but the director of Ironman with Robert Downey

I also follow Britney Spears, Donnie Wahlberg, and Schwarzenegger but they are totally pointless which Hugh Jackman is as well. 

These are some of the highlights so far.

Steve Buscemi to Ashton Kutcher: “Yo Ashton, I have a proposition for you: a summer vacation to the Bahamas & a weekend wife swap. Pick the date; I’ll make it happen”.

Darth Vader: “I feel a tremor in the Force. No, actually it was just my special lunch burrito. My bad.” “Ordered a trooper to ready my TIE for action & he said he couldn’t because we’re all out of those little umbrellas. Un. Be. Lievable.”

Stoya (porn star). Her followers were treated to this neat little string of tweets about the kinky joys of doing porn:

1. “steve holmes, @jamesdeen , and both of my holes. f…ing exciting ”
2. “no storyline today, just straightup dirty gonzo sex ”
3. “i wish @joannaangel was here again. im starting to get nervous”
4. “done. that was AMAZING double penetration is AWESOME”

Time har skabt et online foto-galleri med billeder fra Obamas første 100 dage, som præsident. Spændende at se på.

Nuvel, Københavns Universitet – og med slet skjult stolthed – hvor jeg arbejder undersøger i øjeblikket hvordan universitet kan markedsføres via nye, spændende medier og teknologier.

Det her er god underholdning. Det naturvidenskabelige fakultet, eller science som de gerne vil hedde, har lanceret denne kampagne, som opfordrer personer til at komme med filmklip, som kan vise hvor kanon det er at læse på science.

Klik “Skip intro” og gå derefter videre til Inspiration. Når du har grinet færdig over den her, den her, den her og den her, så klik dig videre til “Se indsendte film” og grin videre.

Hvem sagde naturvidenskabsfolk var kedelige?

Ham her ser ud til at have lidt problemer med selvtilliden på trods af sine, øhm, allerede opnåede mål:o)
