Subversive Advertising of the Day: Facebook users hijacked Sarah Palin’s Facebook wall with a letterbombing campaign promoting Stephen Colbert’s mostly-obsolete countervail to Jon Stewart’s “Rally to Restore Sanity.” (The two have since been joined Voltron-style to form the “Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear.”)

Find out how they did it (and how you can too) over here.

Kickass Cubicle of the Day: Freddog says: “This guy at work went all out for his Halloween costume and desk decoration. I really hope he plans on taking it one step further and gives out hamburgers.”

Looks like someone has a case of the Fridays.

Infographic of the Day: This is mostly true, except for the part where all the candy I bought for trick-or-treaters will be consumed by me because no one ever knocks on my door and I am forever alone.

BREAKING NEWS of the Day: The time traveler in Charlie Chaplin’s The Circus wasn’t holding a cell phone up to her ear, she was holding up an old-timey hearing aid known as an “ear trumpet” (see above).

From LiveScience:

“As you can tell from these, old-fashioned mechanical or resonating hearing aids were not necessarily long and rounded,” said Philip Skroska, an archivist at the Bernard Becker Medical Library of Washington University in St. Louis. “Short, compact rectangular forms were not unusual.”

In other words, they could look something like a cell phone to imaginative YouTube viewers in the 21st century.

On to the next thing.
