The Age of Conan
by skywardfire on Jan.21, 2010, under Entertainment, Industry, People
If you know what internet is, by now you probably know about the whole Leno-Conan-NBC fiasco. If you’re still aloof from the whole situation, give this a reading. Everyone has been talking about this, and in the end, it seems Conan will lose his show, get a whole lot of money, and Jay Leno will be back on air on what time he used to come at night. But no one fails to take pot shots at one other. As a result, the ratings of both the shows, Conan’s and Leno’s, have gone up like crazy, and continue to climb new heights every day due to the antics of the hosts.
As a part of further poking fun and making a mockery out of NBC, Conan O’Brien decided to go a little out of the way by spending over $ 1.5 million on a small gig on his show. As per the contract, NBC has to pay for everything that happens on the show, and Conan took advantage of the same by taking some sweet revenge.

Star Wars: Shoes of The Old Republic

Adidas has joined hands with Lucasfilm, the Star Wars mother ship company to bring you a new line of t-shirts, hoodies and footwear based on the most successful digital science fiction franchise ever. The new ad features David Beckham, Snoop Dogg, and Daft Punk. Check it out below.
The preview of the collection looks okay, there’s nothing absolutely amazing fashion-wise. But for all the hardcore Star Wars fans, this sure is a treat they’d hope they wont miss. I hope this collection is there on sale here in UAE by the time the Dubai Shopping Festival begins.


Thanks to Brutality for the pointer.

The video below is probably the best thing I’ve found this month. You can make something like this with a photograph of your own at the link at http://en.tackfilm.se/
PS: Yes, that is me. And thank you People of Sweden for such an awesome thank you video.
