Cousy’s Vid of the Week 5/7

As most of you that spend more than 3 seconds on the internet know, the web is a great place to find cool and funny videos of whatever your heart desires. The web as provided a great breeding ground for artists and comedians to share their work with the entire world. That’s why the Pink Mac wants to share with you some of our personal favorite videos we have found on the interwebs in the past 7 days.

This week we are featuring a “commercial” that Ellen DeGeneres showed during her talk show. She got in a bit of trouble for ripping on Apple for this one though because it makes it seem like the iPhone is hard to use. But I get what she was going for. She wasn’t making fun of the product but rather the incompent person behind the camera that doesn’t understand technology. Watch it and judge for yourself.

So what do you think? Was this a spoof of the iPhone or the user? Leave a comment below and share your thoughts!!

Bonus video of the week!

I just couldn’t pass this one up. A personal favorite of mine are videos by a person named Christiaan Van Vuuren… better known as The Fully Sick Rapper. Quick back story: Christiaan is from Australia and he took a vacation to South America, where he contracted Tuberculosis. For the past FOUR months he has been stuck in a hospital quarantine room. To pass the time from going insane he has been making comedy rap videos. I love his stuff and if you like this one check out his Youtube page to see more. (Oh and the fashion show thing up right now is too weird to try to explain, just skip those ones for now lol)

The Million Dollar Winner

UPDATE! A few months ago I posted my first article on the Pink Mac about how a video game, MLB 2K10, would give away a million dollars to anyone that could pitch a perfect game. (If you haven’t read it yet, shame! Here’s a link to read it: The Million Dollar Game)

Well as it turns out after weeks of practicing, a man down in Alabama actually did it. He pitched a perfect game and won a million dollars for it. 24-year-old Wade McGilberry, of Alabama played the game so well and got so good at it he was able to be the first person to pitch a perfect game. Of course he had his wife’s consent to play so much. In fact she even suggested he leave his job so he could focus on playing more. Despite that proposal, Wade kept his job and in his spare time played enough to where he could win. In an interview Wade said that with the money they are going to pay off the house and now start a family. Aww, see what video games can do ladies? Congratulations Wade, and enjoy your reward!

Here’s the interview Wade game to the CBS Early Show:
