Yes We Can! - Celebrities vote for Obama

Did you see Black Eyed Peas' will.i.am's music video inspired by a speech Barack Obama gave after Clinton's loss in New Hampshire? Then here it is, very positive and 'heart rasing', with will.i.am, Scarlett Johannson, John Legend and many other American celebrities.
Yes We Can!
You can read here on will.i.am's blog why he decided to record that song... Lyrics: It was a creed written into the founding documents that declared the destiny of a nation. Yes we can. It was whispered by slaves and abolitionists as they blazed a trail toward freedom. Yes we can. It was sung by immigrants as they struck out from distant shores and pioneers who pushed westward against an unforgiving wilderness. Yes we can. It was the call of workers who organized; women who reached for the ballots; a President who chose the moon as our new frontier; and a King who took us to the mountaintop and pointed the way to the Promised Land. Yes we can to justice and equality. Yes we can to opportunity and prosperity. Yes we can heal this nation. Yes we can repair this world. Yes we can. We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change. We have been told we cannot do this by a chorus of cynics... they will only grow louder and more dissonant ... We've been asked to pause for a reality check. We've been warned against offering the people of this nation false hope. But in the unlikely story that is America, there has never been anything false about hope. Now the hopes of the little girl who goes to a crumbling school in Dillon are the same as the dreams of the boy who learns on the streets of LA; we will remember that there is something happening in America; that we are not as divided as our politics suggests; that we are one people; we are one nation; and together, we will begin the next great chapter in the American story with three words that will ring from coast to coast; from sea to shining sea -- Yes. We. Can.

Tecktonik sucks

I should be studying now for my exams (which are tomorrow and I'm freakin out istead of drinking to cafebabel's health) but I just wanted to share this with you. I've just joined my dream facebook group Comité de Lutte contre l'union du SLIM, de la TECKTONIK et de la COUPE MULET, which in English means more-less 'Fight against SKINNY JEANS, TECKTONIK and COUPE MULET' (what's the English name for it? in Poland we call it "Czech football player" style). For those uneducated, COUPE MULET is a crime against fashion, looking like this:

but also this:

which made me thinking, maybe those poor kids are trying to identify with something they know from their childhood in '80, something safe, cozy and warm, like MacGyver? That would explain A LOT, BB Brunes!

AND if you, like me, really are not an amateur of Tecktonik, this should make your day :)

Cafebabel.com is 7!

Wee! Seven years! Wait a moment! When the hell did it happen?

Stupid American Tuesday (Chuck Norris is going to kick your ass!)

Everybody's talking about US elections and internet is full of crazy shit from lovers, haters and candidates themselves. Here's a tiny little selection of creme de la creme of it... Get Hillwitched: hilwitched.jpg Hillary seems to be not the most loved conadidate, bitch1.jpg Is it coz she's black? Or was it Obama? Ohh, I forgot he wasn't black at all... Hillary stays positive, I guess thats due to massive therapy she went through after Bill's Zippergate. Is there anything worse than a international public humiliation she experienced? Don't think so... hillary1.jpg Girl Power! She should hire Posh to spice up that image. What Barack's PR team should get a fat bonus for is that: obama1.jpg GENIUS! And now, let's move to less sexy candidates (which doesn't mean less interesting!) ((/public/ilike/blog_img/.fan_m.jpg|fan.jpg|C)) Oh my God! Is it relating to what I think it is relating? Hilarious! And... last but not least... Huckabee! (I heart Huckabee was an obvious choice to make in a campaign, but still brawo!) He doesn't believe in evolution:
But what shocked me the most, Chuck Norris doesn't believe in it too!! Look!
What in the world happened to his face? Is the toughest guy on planet hypnotised? Did botox session go wrong? Maybe he ate something raw? We'll never know...

BB Brunes or What ever happened to masculinity

Here's something that my anonymus source called "pure, unadulterated French style, youth, fashion and chic". Well, all I can say is that boys dressed all white with their shirts wide open, rosaries hanging on their chests, wearing hills and touching their hair more often than I DO (which, you know, is not all that easy), give me bad vibes. Plus: that is so yesterday, this recycled Prince style. And you know, there is only one Prince, whom I worship. And he can actually sing BB Boy Brillant Brunettes or whatever you're called.

Oh, I love you Amy

I don't get all this fuss about Amy Winehouse being too skinny and doing drugs, like she was the first singer to do it, or what? Like all women magazins didn't promote this kind of overthin look gained in a pocess of long-term heroin diet? Like The Rolling Stones guys, Ray Charles, Diana Ross and all the other great musicians didn't do drugs?

Come on. The only difference is that at their time paparazzi didn't stalk celebrities 24/7.

Killing me softly with ipod

Australian Police was terrified by the number of car accidents caused by listening to ipod, that they started this social campaign. Young people would listen to the music so intensively (or loud?) that they crossed the street without looking out if there's nothing coming their way.

Moleskine, you know I love your Moleskine

I know, I know, advertising for Moleskine is both useless and lame, as they have all the good publicity in the world, but I just can't help myself, I love these little notebooks and calendars. Oh, I wish it was January already, so I could start writing in my brend new 2008 calendar (it is a bit mental, isn't it?), aspecially that some good men in Moleskine read my mind and they came out with that:

Red is new black. But of course! :)

They have also great 'personal city guides' - line of notebooks perfect for all those going on their Erasmus year abroad and travellers who would like to keep track of their memories. Available for: Amsterdam, Barcelona, Berlin, Dublin, Lisbon, London, Madrid, Milan, Paris, Prague, Rome, Wien, Florence, Venice and some American cities as well.

Most baffling toys

Over last few weeks, Polish media were full of features about toxic toys from China. The most 'popular' ones were Bindeez Beads which happen to be poisonous when swallowed and give similar effects to infamous rape pill. Definitely not something you'd like your children to play with.

I'm not sure how much of this was a real deal and how much just a black PR against cheap import from China and I guess I'll never find out. But what I wanted to write about is not the dangerous ones but the funny ones... Here's this hilarious chart of most baffling toys, including teddy bear gun and the poop hat. Enjoy!

Glorious Gregorius

Gregorius - Finnish sex demon of the '70 euro pop in a spectacular (spectacular!) cover of YMCA. I don't know what I like most about this video: his mustache and Asterix-alike image, Mick Jagger-ish moves or the boys dancing in the back...
No, can't make up my mind.
