In this week's Urly Show podcast, Eliot and Kelly were joined by first-time Urly Show participant, Urlbot Cole Stryker! The show started off with a bang as we launched into our tl;dr quiz with Pennsylvania's own avid Urlesque reader (and Facebook fan) David. Despite some technical glitches, David managed to pull through and impress us with both his adept knowledge of our beloved internet and fantastic facial hair.
In the new segment a Word From Our Spammers, we exposed some choice material derived straight from our comments section. This week, we were provided with "informative content" regarding a bachelor party game that we, ourselves, could barely pronounce. Do not want.
And, to mostly the delight of Kelly, our FW:FW:FW: segment (which this week, by the way, was presented with a bossa nova tune YouTubed by our Skyper, David!) focused on a plastic doll. Barbie Video Girl is a tall, leggy blonde that is, essentially, a mash-up between a camera and a legendary girly playtime toy. Watch for our review of the doll. With a lens placed directly in her sternum, Video Girl Barbie shoots video that can be uploaded directly to the computer by little tech-savvy girls everywhere, and we have TWO TO GIVE AWAY!
Surprisingly, VGB took us down a somewhat dark path, in which we waxed political about the moral consequences of children and online culture. So, yeah, you can say we're pretty smart.

Eliot! I tried out for "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" when I was in college and I was totally rejected. Sadz.
