Shooting at Bubbles

What better way to start off your week than a good dose of some really moronic things we have from around the web. I mean where else can you find out about joydicks, floating cellphone enclosures or a Trekkie menstrual pad.

Seriously it doesn’t get any better or moronic that this.

Not that anyone will notice but I got me a new mic to do my shows with which should result in a better quality audio, which when it comes to podcasts is a really good idea. Other than that it was just another normal Moronic Monday where we get to see Sean’s head approach the exploding point once more.

Ah Monday’s. They have to be our favorite day of the week, well at least it is for me because we get to do our Moronic Monday edition of the Braindead TechCast. It is so much fun being able to share all the wonderful things we find on the web with everyone.

Well, maybe not for Sean. He always seems to end up in the corner weeping about the decline of mankind into a morass of moronic mindlessness.

Here’s the list of posts that led to Sean’s emergency call to the sanatorium.

• Hair Dryer Made by Ferrari Engineers – Neatorama
• Cell Phones for Babies – Random Good Stuff

Sean may hate Moronic Monday’s because of the damage he says it does to what remains of his brain but I think he’s lying. In fact I think he lives for Moronic Monday’s, just like our faithful listeners do but we’ll let him keep believing that if it makes him feel like he is in a safe place.
