Do you notice anything different?

OdiogoYou will, if you’re reading this post on our site and not from your RSS feed. Look up there. There’s a little icon that lets a computerized voice read this or any Just Giblets post to you!

They market this thing as a lazy person’s gateway to podcasting, but I don’t know how practical that is. I’d rather podcast with my own voice. This guy don’t sing, for one thing. But I’ve always wanted to hear a computer say these things:

I cannt stann im!

I’m depraved onna cownna I’m deprived!

My NAME is MELINDA!!! Melinda, Winnifred, Wayne, Tentrees. And I am APPALLED. And STUNNED. At this OUTRAGEOUS… inquisition!

Oh, man, how cool is that?!

So, I missed Obama Girl the first time around. I like Obama. He’s funny. But I just didn’t see the point of watching a music video with a sexy chick singing his praises with that weird Beyonce quaver. But this one’s better. I just had to look when they threw in the Giuliani girls. Wouldn’t you? I’m so glad that they did a partisan-free song so we can all see that it’s not really meant to be anything but fun!
