The Google-Topeka thingy...was pretty funny, however, Topeka changing their name to Google was real, but will only last for 28 days...

I tried "sudo make me a sandwich", but no luck.

Yeah, although they pretty much use that for product interest testing nowadays. I'm the proud owner of the personal soundtrack t-shirt from a few years back. I would pick up the Tauntaun sleeping bag...but $100 is a little rich for my blood there. Maybe if it ever goes on sale.

Deckard Cain GPS Voice Pack

Haha, that one had me in stitches. I have seriously been thinking about trying to change my Garmin Nuvi to sound like Navi. When I miss a turn, instead of "Recalculating!", it can say "HEY! LISTEN!"

And for those who enjoyed that, be sure to check out the second season finale of Sanctuary.

After that, I'm fresh out of examples of collaborations between Western media and Hindi cinema.

My favorite part of this joke is the accompanying forum.

I missed the Battle.net Matchmaking joke until just now.

EDIT: Lawl at "in ur base, killin ur d00dz" line.

At work someone posted signs at the elevators saying, "the elevators have received an upgrade and are now voice-activated. Once inside the elevator simply speak your desired floor and 'close' to close the doors."

That is complete AWESOMENESS!
