Jar-Jar stars in a Microsoft ad

OK, for those of you who missed it, here's a typically bland Microsoft print ad, featuring a beautiful cultural rainbow (and what looks suspiciously like a MacBook).



The Polish apparently aren't as enthusiastic about the colors of the rainbow, and the ad was slightly modified for that market:



TechCrunch invited parodies, and received a huge number. My favorites star Jar-Jar and the blue screen of death:



I mean this sincerely, the Clone Wars episodes featuring Jar-Jar were so funny that I've become quite fond of him.

Lego Clockwork Policeman (link roundup)





Lego Clockwork Policeman (with drawers) by Kevin Heckel.

And a few more links:

1. Stunningly bizarre rumor about who was the father of one of Michael Jackson's sons.

2. The Washington Post says Khalid Sheik Mohammed became a major source of information about al-Qaeda after being waterboarded. Awfully tough to have a valuable opinion about politics, when I know so terribly little of the facts.

3. Lego wheelchair. Via.

*Previously: Infant police officer in a wheelchair.
