Initially I was thoroughly enthused with social networks like myspace and facebook. I added friends, left comments, described how I awesome I am, reconnected with people, and of course looked at pictures of people trying to out awesome me. It was great. I was by no means the king of myspace or facebook, but Ben […]

This has been probably my longest stretch at Bucknuts without an article. I have a couple of things in the works but am pretty focused on a magazine article I am writing for Bucknuts the Magazine focusing on the NFL transition for Ted Ginn, Anthony Gonzales, Antonio Pittman, and Troy Smith. I actually conducted an […]

A couple nights back I started writing the blog below, but decided not to finish it as I was not 100% sold on the idea that Kimbo Slice was a pop culture phenomena that warranted a blog. 2 days later I have seen him on ESPN for an interview and on Yahoo.com’s front page. I […]

This week I am going with this catchy satirical jingle ad by Dunkin Donuts. Its pretty obvious who they are mocking in this commercial. Starbucks is beginning to feel pressure from cheaper more basic offerings from Mcdonalds, Dunkin Donuts, and 7 Eleven. Although I already recognized a Jackie Moon commercial, I wanted to give some […]

Reports are surfacing that Toshiba backed HD-DVD will throw in the white towel following a string of setbacks that have unfolded in 2008. Back in December I predicted that sagging HD DVD sales would help the biggest studio, Warner Brothers, switch becoming a Blu Ray Exclusive studio. A month later Warner Brothers did make the […]

Two movies that I have caught my attention are the upcoming Indiana Jones and the “Stoner Action movie” Pineapple Express. I have high expectations for Indiana Jones as I have defended its potential and praised its proud history to my roommate who ignorantly claims that the new Rambo will be better (He hasnt seen it, […]

This commercial aired about a month ago and I have to label it a complete success. Mike Huckabee is the one of 2 republicans left in the race and has picked up a handful of primary wins over the past month. The below advertisement caught a lot of people’s eye and attracted a lot of […]

Although not an avid hockey fan, it remains as one of my more favorite sports to watch in person and on TV. Its always amazed me how hockey players avoid serious injuries with all the variables in play (the boards, the ice, sticks, goal posts, puck, and skates) . Unfortunately tonight Richard Zednik fell victim […]

This weekend has been dedicated to recharging the battery after a tough month and a half of planning, preparation, and troubleshooting for my company’s annual convention. Not feeling the need to chase girls at the bar, I was able to take in two movies that I have wanted to see for quite awhile. Pursuit Of […]

For those of you who don’t know, let me introduce you to Terrelle Pryor. He is the concensus number one high school football player in the country and has been consistently described as a more athletic Vince Young. To boot, he is also a top tier basketball player. Pryor hails from the Pittsburgh area and […]

I will be most likely out of commision the next couple of days but wanted to get some thoughts down on yesterday’s fantastic Super Bowl. The entire week when asked at work who I thought would win I responded with Patriots in a close one. Something told me that although the Giants were a lesser […]

Work has been painful this week and benkoo.com has suffered. Next week will be bad too unfortunately. But for now here is an entertaining R rated youtube video circulating of Chris Berman.

With the Super Bowl coming up I am planning to do something special for Commercial of the Week next week. For now this one goes to a pretty risque Domino’s pizza commercial. Not a fan of Domino’s at all, but definitely love the adult humor in this ad.

A lot of my friends and family have been impressed by how mature and robust benkoo.com is. This is kind of a back handed compliment as I possess no web design, web development, or html/php coding skills. I really cannot take that much credit as my blogging software, wordpress, does all the heavy lifting. WordPress […]

I have an interesting group of friends to say the least. Included is my best friend, Ross, who I have bet a 4 figure amount of money that he will not be able to dunk by the time he is 30. Not one to be outdone, my roommate is boldly and confidently predicting the new […]
