How to Jailbreak my iPod Touch 2G with iOS4?

“Riddle please help me solve it ”
“What is this glass ceiling feminists talk about?”
“Christians: is this a sign?”
“Super difficult riddle. I can’t handle it.”
“When someone shouts out, ‘that’s what she said,’ who is she and why has she got so much to say?”
“In old legends, what are some of the things werewolves hated the most other than silver and vampires?”

So, as you can see, I’m helping people left and right. I’m almost a level two answerer, which means I’ll soon be able to cast magic missile. (I think. I’m a little unsure on what that actually does.)

Hi Curtis,

Sorry to email out of the blue… I work for Talkbackthames on ITV1′s hit entertainment show ‘Britain’s Got Talent’, which is now back for a forth series. The show gives people and animals the opportunity to showcase their talents in front of a panel of three judges (Simon Cowell, Piers Morgan and Amanda Holden). The last series was watched by nearly 20 million viewers and is hailed as one of the most successful talent shows
of this century.

The show is open to absolutely anyone – any talent, any age – and over the past three years we’ve had a huge variety of acts. This year we are really keen to showcase gifted animals… there is always space for animal acts on the show, which the judges and audience love to see. I came across your skateboarding dogs website online and would really like to get in contact with some dogs who skateboard in the UK. I would really appreciate it if you could point me in the right direction and put me in contact with any skateboarding dogs you know of in Britain?

Over the last three years we have had a singer, dancer and dance group win and although they were extremely talented there may be more unusual talent in Britain that could benefit from the opportunities they have, namely a grand prize of £100,000 and the chance to perform at The Royal Variety show in front of Her Majesty the Queen.

We are auditioning up and down the country over the next couple of months and wouldn’t want you them to miss the opportunity. You can contact me on this email or call – XXXX XXX XXXX.

Many thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

Unfortunately, the e-mail was sent back in October, otherwise I would respond to it. I don’t know what I’d do if they mentioned the site on the air—it’s not like there’s much to do there.

So that’s my latest brush with fame. Visit the site and share it with friends!

I think the users need something they can connect with on the form. I’m thinking a penguin. Could you make a penguin holding a little pennant that says, “College is cool”? I think this will speak well to the young, hip generation. The pennant should be red.

Nick came back with this:

Brandon, not sure on the penguin – but if you have any supporting data that penguins indeed drive lead volume, then I will relent.

To which I replied:

Here’s the supporting data. So you can imagine what we could do with the pennant!

I’m waiting for the perfect opportunity to use this image.

Dear Liz –

The Kingdom of PPC Development hereby grants you this designer paper clip and tiny pad of Post-It notes as a peace offering in light of the events that transpired during Friday’s webinar. Curtis Hornbuckle, our court jester, has been flogged for this offense. We sincerely hope that our gift of one designer paper clip and tiny pad of Post-It notes will ensure a friendship between our two kingdoms for years to come.

Give my regards to Duchess Erica! [Liz's manager]

But there’s just one problem: George is not a real person.

The whole thing started back in 1927. An applicant to Georgia Tech by the name of William Edgar Smith was accidentally sent two copies of the school’s enrollment form. Rather than throw it away, William filled it out with the fictitious name George P. Burdell. When George was accepted, William signed him up for all the same classes as him.

For William’s entire college career, he did twice the classwork and took tests in half the time, because he kept up the facade of George P. Burdell. He used different wording on assignments and even altered his handwriting to cover for him.

By the end of his fourth year, William was getting pretty tired of doing twice the work, so he decided to retire George. But not before he earned his Bachelor’s degree. That’s right—Georgia Tech actually awarded a four-year degree to a fictitious person.

So that’s the end of William’s story. But it’s not the end of George’s. By the time he earned his Bachelor’s, George was legendary at Georgia Tech. Other students kept turning in work for him and he eventually earned his Master’s as well.

George had officially graduated twice, but he remained on the active student roll for years. In 1969, Georgia Tech switched out their paper enrollment system for a computerized one, hoping that would stop other students from enrolling him in classes. Hackers worked their way into the new system and registered George for every single class offered at the college that semester—over 3,000 credit hours.

Word of the gag spread far and wide, and fast. And people just wouldn’t let him die. During WWII, the military listed him as a crew member on one of their B-17 bombers. He flew twelve missions over Europe as part of the 8th Air Force in England. In 1958, his engagement to another fictitious student, Ramona Cartwright from Agnes Scott College, was announced in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. In 2000, he was declared the alternate delegate to the Democratic National Convention from Georgia. He’s been credited as a musician on a number of albums, and a good number of checks from Kraft Foods are signed by him.

In 2001, he was actually set to win the online poll for Time magazine’s Person of the Year, holding at least 57% of the votes, before they pulled him from the running.

This kind of makes my elevator-rewiring stunt look pretty, well, pathetic. I’m going to have to take it up a few notches. Any ideas?

As you’ve probably gathered from the increasing levels of hilarity in these cartoons, they were not intended to be entirely serious. But these aren’t entirely jokes either. All of these are real, actual businesses, and each of them stood behind these commercials. All of these commercials were made by these two guys (whom you might recognize from some of the commercials). They’ll make commercials for free as long as they get total creative control of the commercials.

You can also nominate a local business for a free commercial, if you can think of one that (a) deserves a little more attention, and (b) has a sense of humor.

I didn’t post all of them, so if you liked these, you can check out the rest of their commercials on their website.
