dubya rubsya.jpgJen beat me to the Mel in Malibu ringtone! But here's an appropriately news-related followup. A couple weeks ago at the G8 summit, our compassionate leader decided to give German chancellor Angela Merkel a drive-by shoulder massage. Her reaction is priceless, and the video has been all over the Web.

If you can't get enough of this latest Dubya scandal, click over to Addicting Games and play Bush Backrub, which requires you to race among Merkel, Vladimir Putin, and Kim Jong-Il furiously rubbing away. If one of them gets mad and leaves the table, the game is over. As a game, it'll keep you occupied for a short while. As social commentary, it's funny stuff. Happy Friday!

(I know this is very tenuously gadget-related. Well, you do have to play it on your PC...)

If that homicidal maniac started tightening his hands around your neck, wouldn't you try to squirm free?

why is a gear/tech site taking jabs at our President? Are there any non-partisan sites on the web anymore? Man, I check this site daily and dig the commentary, but please don't venture into political stuff... You alienate those who might have different opinions... I like Bush, sure he's made some mistakes but I like him. And I believe in our troops and their mission.

Gosh, Andrew, I'm glad you like the site, but don't you think you may be overreacting just a bit? All in fun, etc. But since you bring up our troops, I'll bet they could use backrubs too.

Ok, maybe the troops could use backrubs too but (having spent 31 years in the military) I can assure you that in 2006 in the US Military, unrequested physical contact with anyone of the opposite sex can result in sexual harassment charges. Sorry Andrew, the man is an ignorant fool.
