The 404 315: Where we undo our top button

Yeah, we’re not sure what the title of our show means today, but it’s what happens when you let the chat room run the show. We think they want us to take off our clothes. Anyway, we’re back to our old antics today: Bittr, Wii, Wolverine, iPhone, and pedometers.

As you can see, Slate.com already stole our idea for a skit mocking Twitter. We were going to shoot a video about a one-character status update. Some times, “F” is the only character that describes exactly how we’re feeling at the moment.

On today’s show, we talk a bit about how Nintendo is almost literally printing money with its Wii console. Apparently, it costs Nintendo 45 percent less to make a Wii than when it first came out. Nintendo is also trying to make more bank by releasing a pedometer, a device that measures foot steps–not an alarm for child predators. Also, we’ve got some info on a new iPhone app called Bad Decision Blocker that blocks your ability to make drunk phone calls. Seriously, though, if you need an iPhone app to stop you from making drunk calls, you need to 1) stop drinking 2) leave your phone at home, and 3) go see a therapist about your lingering girlfriend issues.

Finally, we get to our favorite “It came from Fox News!” segment. This time around, a Fox News commentator was fired for reviewing a pirated copy of the new “X-Men Origins: Wolverine” movie. Yeah, smart one. Fortunately, Jeff stopped selling DVDs of “Two and a Half Men” a few months ago. And a reminder, please call in with your most death-defying story to win your copy of “To the End of the Death: Our Epic Journey to the North Pole and the Legend of Peary and Henson” by our guest, Tom Avery. Yeah, long, long title.
