The advert for Lenovo’s Thinkpad X300 rips on the original Macbook Air advertisement. Hee hee.

I was expecting this, but not in this way. Not on the iTunes Store, for goodness’ sake.

American Idol aspirant Renaldo Lapuz, a Filipino who caused a riot of sorts with the hosts of American Idol Season 7 by WilliamHung-ing his way into the spotlight with his white feathered costume and self-composed ode to Simon Cowell, is now a free music video on the iTunes Store.

Oh dear God.

It was amusing at first to the MacADoodlers in the Philippines, where MAD is made, and where Lapuz was originally from, but it was particularly amusing for the Doodler himself, as Lapuz’ previous job for 13 years prior to moving to the States, he discovered, was as a public tricycle driver in Sikatuna Village, where the Doodler lives. No wonder he looked familiar.

AI gave him lots of airtime, and Simon himself predicted sarcastically that Lapuz’ song, We’re Brothers Forever, would be the next hit. Well, it’s here. A free 7-min video, all of an 83mb download, from the iTunes Store. Get it while it lasts.

Another sign that the end times are nigh.

No, it’s not exactly a phoned-in thing.

Engadget reader Claude M. proposed to his girlfriend Doris by painstakingly producing a faux-Apple iPhone iProposal ad and then showing it to her. She said yes. Don’t you just love geeks?

Watch the iProposal here.

Only 20GB?

Podcasting News has put together a comprehensive list of iPod accessories that misfired, including an iPod tooth whitener, thong underwear for your iPod, an iPod vibrator, an iPod washing machine, the TuneBuckle (featured above), and one that actually comes from Apple itself.

(I personally wouldn’t mind getting a few of these for Christmas, if only for their value as conversation pieces.)

Great fun here.
