laptop shmaptop

that’s right kiddos…

after all, what do you expect people to do? it has carbon fiber panels! oooooooo!

thanks to the breaking blogosphere scandal of laptop-gate

your friendly neighborhood happyfunboy feels compelled, in the interest of full disclosure, to list all the free swag bestowed upon him this holiday season, in exchange for promotional consideration here at the funcave.

without further ado…

happyfunboy’s super awesome guide to free stuff i got in exchange for my mortal soul

beef. it's what's for dinner!

a lifetime supply of kobe beef, still on the hoof. masseuse included.

 

vrooooooom! 

a trio of ford gt supercars. a weekly driver, another for weekends…& one just for the hell of it.

 

wow...the stories are true! time does slow waaaay down when ass of money is hanging off the end of your arm. 

a set of fine timepieces. of course…a separate one for each day of the week.

 

sometimes a cigar is...just a cigar.

a lifetime supply of my very own private-label cigars. plantation, factory & an entire clan of 3rd-generation rollers included.

 

last, but certainly not least…

obviously, they wanted to make sure i had adequate hardware to properly evaluate windows vista

a baker’s dozen of the largest lcd tv in the world. two voice-controlled universal remotes, as shown above, included. 

does this mean i’ve forfeited my objectivity?

that i’ve somehow crassly cashed in, betraying the trust & goodwill of my audience around the globe?

let me clue you in on a little secret….

the moment there’s an audience of any kind…objectivity’s already gone

and let me tell you another little secret…

if you think traditional media is somehow above this kind of stuff…think again

fact of the matter, traditional media sold itself long ago for much more sinister reasons.

so just because i happen to be more successful at securing a few review tchotchkes is no reason for you to become a jealous, backbiting whiner.

  1. Time to change the air purifier in the funcave. I think the canary just died.
