Remember Amanda "Rocketboom" Congdon, that thing with boobs that did stuff on the internet and parlayed her success into a job at ABC News? Yeah neither do I. Well, whoever she is she lost her job at ABC because nobody cared and she's now returned, sad little pink hat in hand, to the internet. She's launching a new blog news internet website called Sometimes Daily. And she would like to market it to you! Mostly via a completely nonsensical video featuring her brother (?), a strange park bench, and a dildo with little fans attached to it. If someone could please explain to me what is going on in the video, it would be greatly appreciated. I think it has something to do with Amanda Congdon? Maybe? Please watch, after the jump, and elucidate. [Thanks Jossip!]
Amanda Congdon Would Like to Mutter At You

Shakem for me, Amanda.
Myspace? Friendster?
Soooo edgy!
I won't watch, on my terms.
I think she really tears down the fourth wall, destroying preconceived notions of audience/performer I/thou dichotomies in a great maelstrom of swaying cans.
Is she still shilling for DuPont or whatever chemical company that was, in which she didn't see as a conflict of interest because she was a 'new' kind of journalist, who wasn't constrained by such archaic paradigms?
I guess that didn't really work out for her.
Ok, I watched the video, and I still don't undertand why young Jan Levinson has a video blog.
PS, I would still pound her into next week. For reals.
OMG! This is so shit! And is the shitty pictures and shit things happening also coupled with special judder-audio courtesy of shitty Vimeo also happening for anyone else? I made it to 0.37 and had to stop it. Mostly because of all the shit contained in that tiny little shit-box. Shit!
Just when you thought that the world had reached peak-shit, someone discovers a rich, new seam.
@VirusWithShoes: If only oil were more like shit.
@VirusWithShoes: Yeah, between the posts on the WSJ list of business visionaries, fluorocarbon food, and this, I've got to say that American's high quality standards seem to be slipping. On a greased glass slope at a 180ยบ angle, with the help of 300 mile an hour tailwinds.
I don't know ... I think it has something to do with Amanda having a big rack and a decent butt. Which means, of course, that I will be watching her, er, sometimes daily.
edgy! cutting edge! NOT
wow. it's not even wrong
No sensy makey.
I adore that she felt the need to clarify "non sexual". It can be confusing for people to see a pretty girl with makeup on, a halter top oh and a DILDO without it being sexual. She must need to make that clarification normally considering she obviously only shops at erotic stores.
@kctomorrow: Damnit! I only clicked because you said "halter top", and it wasn't one.
I'll watch it if it's like naked news.
nice porch, no doubt. on further review, looking a bit broad in the beam.
It's like they ran the dialogue and pacing through Babelfish a few times.
@Tippy and Bad Girl: ha. the news in esperanto. that could work for her
Can't hate her. I am a huge boob fan.
David-Lynch-style dialogue (and acting)!
Sorry to be so clueless but somebody please tell me: is the acting deliberately awful? To be funny or something? Or is this really the best these people could do?
This video needs more tasering. If she was tasered on screen every webisode (say by her bro for instance) I definitely think more people would watch.
Her brother is channeling Tom Cruise in 'Risky Business', which was made around when he was born.
What a tool!
Let's just introduce Amanda to Julia Allison.
They would destroy each other if they touched: Matter -anti-matter.
I'm not sure which one is which, however.
Barf. It's called an L-cut, Amanda. Look into it.
Poor Amanda! She's unintentionally painful to watch sometimes, but she's clearly not motivated by promoting herself alone. She does have more to offer, although she, and everyone else, seem to be a bit muddled about what exactly that may be. So, in the meantime, offer boobies! Can't complain about that!
But Amanda hasn't sunk so low (yet) to be sent to that special place of scorn rightfully occupied by that "Star-editor-at-large" idiot, a creature of not even the slightest accomplishments or abilities(except shilling herself), who, like her painfully illiterate poser friends, personifies empty famewhoreism.
Let's let them continue to occupy that special place they richly deserve.
pop17 is better. *yawn*
@IndianSlipper: You lie. It totally was. Check the side view and I promise you will see my way.
