Only a true (photoshop) God could make Lindsay look this hot. I mean, look at her. She actually looks attractive!

After two consecutive quarters of net losses, Acer CEO J.T. Wang has announced that his company will stop making cheap crap in order to focus on ultrabooks and hopefully return the company to profitability.

Coming up next, a quick look at the decision that put Acer out of business.

This is bound to make a lot of people unhappy with Japan. A Japanese official with the Fisheries Agency has confirmed today that Japan will spend 2.3 billion yen ($29 million) from the country’s tsunami reconstruction budget to fund its annual research whaling expedition in the Antarctic Ocean. The whale hunting season will last through February, and media reports say 900 whales will be culled by the end of it.

The fisheries official said these funds will help whaling towns located along the devastated northeastern coast, as well as provide protection for all of Japan’s research whaling ships.

This is obviously bad news for whales in the Antarctic, but I do believe the funds will help people living in devastated whaling towns get back on their feet. Which is why I’m really conflicted about this whole deal… should I side with the whales or with the humans?

Oh man, did I say blowing a fish? I meant Blowfish.

Blowfish is a recently approved hangover drug containing aspirin, caffeine and a stomach-soothing agent. The tree ingredients are packaged as effervescent tablets which promise to knock out hangover symptoms in as little as 15 minutes. Not bad!

Blowfish creator Brenna Haysom had this to say about hangovers and her drug:

So many people see hangovers as a shameful or embarrassing thing. I think of them as just a fact of life.

 

The magic of the effervescent tablet is that it hits your system much faster than getting a cup of coffee, taking an antacid and taking some aspirin separately.

 

I definitely don’t encourage people to get obliterated. This is a really effective product for people who have a couple too many: A happy hour that goes a little long, or holiday parties are a perfect example … and they wake up feeling terrible. This gets you functioning again quickly.

A single dose of Blowfish, which consists of two effervescent tablets, will cost you $2.99. If you’re perpetually drunk and want to be economical, you can grab a twenty-five hangover pack for $49.99. It is currently available in Ricky’s NYC stores or online at ForHangovers.com. Sucks if you’re an European drunk as Blowfish is currently available in the US only.
