iTunes "Google bombed"?

I haven't used iTunes in a while but I fired it up today to play with some Genius playlists, upon which I noticed a lot of my music was without album art. I selected my entire library and told it to grab album art for everything. Normally iTunes has been pretty accurate when deciding which album art to use, but today I ran into a few oddities. Behold:

Okay.

Team America: World Police Soundtrack

True Underground Hip-Hop Flava.

Nine Inch Nails - CRC Sessions
(this is a bootleg and doesn't even have any official artwork)

Delicious.

Tenacious D - Self Titled

I've never run into anything remotely as weird as this using iTunes before, so my only idea is that iTunes was somehow "Google bombed" via a flood of incorrect artwork. I don't know. The only thing I know for sure is that Delicious D is awesome.

Star Trek: TNG

I found out about these hilarious short clips edited together from episodes of Star Trek: The Next Generation. Did I mention they are hilarious?

Watch them all here.

Jerktowne gets a new face.

It's been a while, but Jerktowne has finally been finished. Prop-a-lops to Billie for whipping that up today.

So send all the jerks you know to Jerktowne.

The single most disturbing MP3.

I have created the single most distubing MP3. I took the audio from a video of a baby laughing in slow motion and combined it with a song by a drone-metal band called Sunn O))). I think it's the greatest thing I've ever done. In my entire life. Listen to it here.

Thank you, YouTube.

It's always been obvious that those who regularily post comments on YouTube have the lowest IQs of anyone on earth, and today I am happy to find out that the people at YouTube are aware of this growing problem. Taking inspiration from one of xkcd's latest comics, they've added a button next to "Post Comment" that allows you to listen to a preview of your comment spoken out loud. The idea is that when people want to submit a comment, they can listen to it first, and hopefully become aware of their own idiocy. I like how they added the new button exactly where "Post Comment" used to be, so people who are quick to reply without paying attention will be forced to listen to their own dribble. My only suggestion would be to trigger the voice upon pressing "Enter".

Durrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Taking a minute to play with the new feature, I am impressed at its pronounciation of "lol" as "lawl". It needs some work, however, on "roflcopter" and "lollercoaster".
