Filed under: Tech , Quick Link Has Apple always cranked out their signature clean, convincing advertising ? From iBooks to iPods, Apple’s products have gained them quite a few fanboys along the way, but can you remember the television advertising that got you hooked? Was it the “Get a Mac” campaign featuring “Cool Mac Dude” Justin Long? Or, perhaps the maybe-inebriated Ellen Feiss spot during the “Switch” campaign that subsequently got meme-ified and emixed to death? Check out 30 years of Apple ads on Gawker.TV as you cradle your bricked first generation iPod.

The Real World: Boston : I remember it well. Elka’s controlling father. Montana distributing sips of alcohol to excited children. Genesis bawling after a kid claims to hate gay people, and Kameelah stepping in to educate. And most of all, I remember Sean Duffy, perhaps the only conservative cast member on The Real World who didn’t seem like a Michael Moore-rendered caricature (though he admitted that Kameelah and castmate Syrus were the only two black people he really knew).

Welcome back to Moment of Truth, Movieline’s weekly spotlight on the best in nonfiction cinema. This week we hear from Oscar-nominee Laura Poitras about her new documentary The Oath, which arrives this weekend in limited release. The oath referred to in the title of Laura Poitras’s latest doc is a fairly simple, straightforward one — a brief pledge sworn by new members upon their induction into al-Qaeda. That’s about all that’s simple about The Oath , however, which tracks two of those members who’ve since moved on: Osama bin Laden’s former bodyguard Abu Jandal, and his brother-in-law (and bin Laden’s former driver) Salim Hamdan.

Yeah….that was a horrible joke. It is a pretty constant theme in my life but in my defense this bitch didn’t give me anything to work with. There was a time she was the biggest money making person in tennis and it had nothing to do with her playing tennis but everything to do with everyone wanting to fuck her which was a nice reminder to women everywhere that being hot pussy people want to fuck makes you more money than actually being good at something because looks are more important – so all you ugly bitches need to stop trying to get ahead and should just accept your fate and all you pretty girls need to stop getting educated or skilled at something and just shorten your skirt hemline….some advice Maria Sharapova should take cuz clearly these pants make me think she’s forgotten what she’s good for as she actually tries to play tennis and that’s pretty unfortunate…like this post.

Roger Ebert’s gotten a load of the ‘pede , and he doesn’t know what to think about it. “I am required to award stars to movies I review,” he says in his new write-up of The Human Centipede . “This time, I refuse to do it. The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don’t shine.” [ Roger Ebert via WoW Report ]

Babies! Who doesn’t love babies? Babies who mistake their own feet for foreign objects; babies who ride through the town like pashas in their armored strollers; babies who do baby yoga all by their witty bitty selves. Babies make the world go around, and everybody should have at least one. But if you don’t, and you don’t want to feel left out of the nonstop fun, Thomas Balmès’ winsome documentary Babies can kit you out with not just one but four virtual babies, all of them extremely cute and, best of all, amazingly low-maintenance.

Filed under: Videos , Weird , Food When you were little, did you think there was a tiny little man switching the lights on and off inside your refrigerator? Did you think he was in there, blowing dry ice onto cheeses and jams, keeping your dinner-things cold and fresh? Was he a wee thing, keeping your butter solid, your juice pulpy and your tomatoes plump as a baby’s bottom? Was that little man nude and large, bearded and hairy, with glasses and a Cold War hat? Did he play spoons without spoons on his belly and thighs and was he accompanied by a bouncing angel? Share via:// The Internet Is Terrible

NFL legend Lawrence Taylor is no stranger to legal problems, but this is far worse than his usual alcohol or drug woes. He’s been arrested on suspicion of rape. Shattering Joe Theisman’s leg may no longer be the most gruesome thing he’s done. Officials released a statement confirming that the 51-year-old football great was taken into custody by police after someone accused him of the despicable act. It supposedly went down early this morning at a Holiday Inn in Suffern, N.Y. The Town of Ramapo (N.J.) Police Department is currently investigating the situation, with a news conference scheduled to take place in the next few hours. Lawrence Taylor, who won two Super Bowl rings in a 13-season Hall of Fame career with the New York Giants, recently performed a stint on Dancing with the Stars . The original LT has a lengthy history with the law – he’s been arrested multiple times on drug charges, and back in November, he was arrested for hit-and-run . More details to follow as the story develops … UPDATE : The supposed victim is just 16, according to ESPN. Ramapo police supervisor Christopher St. Lawrence told the Westchester (N.Y.) Journal News that the victim is a runaway from the Bronx who was assaulted. “She was a runaway since March and there was a pimp involved,” St. Lawrence told the newspaper. “She got punched in the face. We’re not sure who did it.”

‘We’ve been a crippled bunch,’ Jarppi says of insane, ‘Jackass’-style stunts on new show. By Eric Ditzian, with reporting by Kelly Marino The Dudesons Photo: Dudesons.com Their motto is “Do first, think later.” That’s pretty much all you need to know about the Dudesons , four Finnish friends who are not so much daredevils as they are straight-up nuts. They’ve been wreaking havoc in Europe for years, and they’re about to invade U.S. TV screens with the Thursday (May 6) premiere of their new show, “The Dudesons in America,” at 10 p.m. on MTV. “Trying to live the American way of life, Dudesons-style!” laughed Jukka, the crew’s blond ringleader. It’s a way of life they’ve been practicing together since becoming best friends in elementary school. “When I was 10 years old, I tried to build my own bomb after New Year’s, when we have all these fireworks. I built it, and it actually blew up on my face and burnt my face,” Jukka recalled. “Two, three weeks ago, we did a stunt that didn’t really go as planned, and I ended up in the middle of this big fireball and burnt my face again. I guess you don’t learn anything in 20 years, not with the Dudesons’ way of life.” On the day we visited the Dudesons — in addition to Jukka, there’s Jarppi, HP and Jarno — they were getting set to shoot a wicked stunt inspired by their favorite American action movies. They decided it would be cool to go all James Bond and drive a flaming car into an out-of-control barrel-roll maneuver. HP was the unfortunate one tasked with doing the driving. The car was smashed to pieces, but this bold Dudeson made it out without a scratch. That’s not to say they’re always so lucky. Two days into filming, Jarno broke a rib. Two days later, Jarppi wrenched his back (“I broke my back!” he proudly announced), followed by Jukka’s busted tailbone and ankle. Not to be excluded, HP tore his ACL before even setting foot on American soil. “We’ve been a crippled bunch,” Jarppi laughed. Not that they care. They’re in America and loving every minute of it. “Uncle Sam is our new best friend right now!” Jukka shouted. Don’t miss “The Dudesons in America” series premiere tonight at 10 p.m. on MTV.
