Caption contest: Luigi puts the ‘L’ in Chicago’s public transit system

Image

Has Nintendo of America fallen on hard times? Why else would the company make one of its most beloved characters (or, at the very least, the brother of one of its most beloved characters) take Windy City public transit? Oh, that’s right, the gaming giant has decked out the “L” train with ads for its new Super Luigi U title. The mustachioed plumber is riding the Brown Line in this Twitter shot, so be sure to be on the lookout for suspicious looking dinosaurs in the area (if you see something, say something). No word on whether he’ll be making house calls today.

Caption This Dumb Picture of RIM’s CEO Taking a Picture with a BlackBerry 10 Device at a Basketball Game

BlackBerry 10 is probably going to come out one day in the future, in the same way that an asteroid the size of Canada will probably hit and destroy Earth one day in the future. But regardless, some way to drum up interest is to… leak pictures of your own CEO using a pre-production BlackBerry 10 smartphone at a basketball game? I guess. More »

Caption Contest: Eric Schmidt does ‘Gangnam Style’ with PSY

Caption contest Eric Schmidt

Did you honestly think Eric Schmidt went all the way to Seoul just to launch the Nexus 7 for South Korea, hang out with Samsung’s JK Shin and moan about the patent war with Apple? Of course not. The Google chairman also found some time to learn the legendary “invisible horse” dance with PSY, the charismatic oppa in the Korean chart-topper Gangnam Style. While Google Korea was happy to supply a few photos, the only video we could dig up was a surprisingly short one hosted by Daum — it’s embedded right after the break.

Brian: “Man, not being the CEO of a multinational corporation sure is hard work.”

Terrence: “I see you are a fellow disciple of the Carlton Banks school of dance.”

Don: “Gangnam Style, 2012-2012.”

Billy: “This song is really about the time I set my socks on fire. I see you still have yours. One moment.”

Edgar: “Hm… I think we forgot the horse.”

Richard Lai: “OK Eric, now let’s do the elevator scene.”

Dan: “Doenjang Girls, would you like to buy a Nexus 7? It’s wayyy more expensive than a latté.”

Darren: “Soooo glad this guy put this video on YouTube and not Vimeo. $$$$$$$$”

Jon Fingas: “Oppan Google sty– no, even I can’t go that far.”

Caption Contest: GoPro gone wrong

Caption Contest Go Pro gone wrong

We’ve been known to strap on a few GoPro cameras in our day, but our efforts are merely amateur in comparison to this guy, who we can only presume is about to perform a stunt so extreme that no less than seven GoPro cams (and a DSLR) are required to capture it.

Don: “GoPro Hero.”
Darren: “Amateurs gonna hate.”
Billy: “I see your 3D and raise you another 5D. 8D is where it’s at.”
Jon: “I’m so liveblogging this. And Instagramming this. And…”
Brian: “Someone take a picture of my weird helmet thing! What do you mean you don’t have a camera?”
Brad: “Hey bullies! I’m now twice the four-eyes you thought I was in high school. What have you done with your life?”
Edgar: “From now on, you shall call me GoProusa.”
Tim: “Anybody have an SD card I can borrow?”
Mat: *BATTERY LOW*
Jamie: “Patent pending…”
Christopher: “A&E Presents Helmet Hoarders: The GoPro Edition
Sharif: “HQ, are you seeing this?!”
Myriam: “Go-Go-Gadget GoPro!”
