Wait, *this* is what Chelsea Lately is? dude, ya’ll are haters. She’s funny.
She’s also clearly not Baldwins girlfriend on 30Rock (looks more like whoever that girl is’s mom) so now I’m confused over that a little but wtf. Why’s everyone bag on this chick for being an unfunny hack all the time?
I’m not into the announcer guy at the beginning and she could have gone without the dig at Pappa Bears sex appeal (i’d hit it) and some other stuff thats like, bleh. but nothing deserving the hate I’m always hearing in the comedy circles of LA and online. sup u guys.
She’s fun. makes me reconsider reading her book that’s on my iPad for some reason (I wont, but it makes me reconsider at least. wait, why IS that shit on my iPad??)
Another epp I’m watching now (mostly for the Justin Bieber jokes):
to someone who has never seen Glee, we have no way of knowing wtf it even is… there’s songs, but there’s some kind of competition? celebrity guests? but it’s a multi-camera scripted show? so wtf. is it a sitcom musical, a MadTV with songs or an American Idol competition type fake reality show?
I’d Google or Hulu it i…f I really cared but I kinda like the suspense of never quite knowing.
This story is getting a lot of traction lately and I think it’s unfair since it’s not news. Morgan Spurlock already did this and included it in the special features of his documentary Super Size Me.
But whatever: McDonalds Happy Meal burger and fires doesn’t decompose. This chick Sally Davies bought the meal on April 10 of this year “with the express intention of leaving it out to see how it fared” Davies told the Daily Mail.
She told the Daily Mail that after the second day she had the Happy Meal in her home, “[M]y dogs stopped circling the shelf it was sitting on trying to see what was up there.”
this is bullshit. i have eaten pizza that was weeks old. food left out dries out and wont typically grow mold. another hippie trying to bring down the man. get a real job you old bitch (referencing the artist).
The more processed it is, the more it will likely just dry out and go stale, so its yes&no on the bullshit level.
Yes it’s bullshit cuz they’re implying that it’s like plastic (or like my headline says, Styrofoam) and will just sit in your stomach for a million years like the old chewing gum myth and that’s obviously not true. The food is just dried out and cardboardish like a rice cake. No one would keep a rice cake around for 6 months and claim it is shocking and gross that it hasn’t changed.
No it’s not bullshit though because pure food should mold. These apples should be rotted, a home made pizza should be moldy and a burger should smell terrible with its bun and fries covered in a blue and white Cruella DeVille outfit of fuzz. Yes, sometimes food doesn’t hold the ingredients necessary to foster bacteria in a way that makes it rot but bread and sliced fried potatoes and definitely ground beef should not be in that category.
Spurlock did his test as a REAL experiment: with a control group. He bought a mom and pop restaurant burger and fries and kept them around too and they decomposed naturally while the Mickey’s food looked just like the pictures on this Flickr album…
I admit that I want polished and personable politicians. I also admit that that is a childish and counterproductive desire – especially with Senators, whose only important job is to vote on things. Still, I get creeped out by weird politicians and in Nevada, both Senate candidates creep me the hell out. Incumbent Senator Harry Reid (D) is a slow spoken dim bulb spread on a slice of blah-milquetoast while his challenger Sharon Angle is a tightly wound awkward jittery goof that gives the impression of no one really being “there” on the inside. I’m not a Republican and I don’t live in Nevada, so I have no say in this whatsoever, but I would have preferred either of Angles 2 main challengers: Danny Tarkanian – son of some famous coach of some sport or something and Sue Lowden – a former beauty pageant winner (with other accomplishments that I dont care about). But Angle was the “Tea Party” favorite and she won the Republican nomination, which gives Nevadans an icky choice to make. I started leaning towards Angle after a pitch for her made by Dennis Miller, which makes sense, but then Reid came at me with this very personable 4 minute silly interview. First, here’s Millers take on Angle:
The clip of Reid is from RighNetwork, a new conservative Cable “On Demand” channel that has these little segments where they ask silly questions to some political figure. So far Reid is the only left-of-center person in the series and i’m not sure why he’s included at all. There are no gotcha questions or any tips that this is an opposition media source that is sitting down with him. The tone is jovial and light and Reid comes off excellently.
UPDATE: So dazzled by Reids show of genuine humanity was I that I failed to notice how badly he fumbled the question of “Can you think of a greatest living American?” by naming 2 famous, but pretty unremarkable (for anything good anyway) senators who are, eh, no longer living:
It may be even more remarkable that Reid apparently can’t comprehend a softball question. What do these two have in common? They’re both dead, not living. What else do they have in common? Their supposed greatness came from winning elections in safe seats for almost half a century or more. Byrd’s example is especially notable, as Byrd was a Klan recruiter who used that safe seat to filibuster the Civil Rights Act in the Senate. Kennedy used his connections and his political power to duck responsibility for a vehicular homicide, and then lived a dissolute life on the grandest of American stages.
Most people would look outside the clubby Senate for a greatest living American anyway, but even if they didn’t, they would be looking for an American that still registers above room temperature.
A few years ago, Ola found out from Warsaw’s Jewish Historical Institute that both she and her husband are technically Jews. “It was unbelievable — it turned out that we had Jewish roots. It was a shock,” she said.
At the time, she and Pawel were active in Warsaw’s neo-Nazi movement. “I was a nationalist 100 percent. Back then when we were skinheads it was all about white power… that Jews were the biggest plague and the worst evil of this world,” Pawel said.
Both 33, they’ve now embraced their Jewish identity and are active in their local orthodox synagogue.
uh… They’re practicing Jews now?… huh? How do you go from “that inferior race needs to be wiped off the planet” to praying in Hebrew? hmmm. meh. whatever. still amusing…
Right after Newsweek informed us that Seniors are having a lot of sex, Steven Crowder, a Christian conservative online video maker (or something?) and Fox News contributor writes a column for FoxNews.com titled Why NOT having sex may be good for you. and yes, it’s about abstinence.
While Christians telling us how awesome it is to not have sex strikes a lot of us as… awkward.. Crowder weathers the subject in a decent manner, mostly by noting that it is America’s last taboo. Advocate anything you want or advocate NOT doing anything you want, but if it’s sex, then you make people uncomfortable and are subject to a higher scorn. Dude has a point there.
The best line of the column is an observation I’ve made myself (hence why it’s the best), which is that liberals exempt sex from their list of things they feel obligated and entitled to scold you for doing or legally prevent you from doing. -and I don’t say that as a knock against liberals, as it should be noted that I have no problem scolding or legally preventing people from doing things I judge in my own infinite wisdom to be bad for them individually or society at large, thus I agree with a lot of the fatty food regulations, calorie restrictions, soda bans, smoking bans, etc. Intellectual honesty just requires that I point out the contradiction in my sides advocacy:
Sure, Michelle Obama can run around the country and condemn little fatties for inhaling Little Debbies, but if you try and apply that same helpful, healthful concept to sex, it’s seen as pushy and/or prudish.
It’s a logically sound and solid statement. yet still.. passionate advocates of abstinence still creep me out.
Listen, one doesn’t need to be religious (nor a rocket scientist) to see the value of abstinence. Let’s disregard the immediately eliminated risk of increasingly popular STD’ and STI’s. Heck, let’s even discount the statistical data showing that sexual exclusivity seems overwhelmingly conducive to a successful marriage .Abstinence also provides an incomparable bond of trust in a relationship.
Yes, I admit it, I’m in a long-term relationship and I’m abstinent. Scandalous, I know. It’s an incredibly difficult thing to do (mostly for me, because she’s way out of my league), and that’s what makes it so important.
Okay, I like that. got to admit. I think it’s sweet. and I think its even sweeter that my now infant, future bride is preparing to save herself for me in the 10-20 years from now when we wed.
Crowder appeared on Red Eye to talk about his column and the subject at large and the result is pure awesome. Red Eye airs at 3AM eastern on the Fox News Channel and it’s pretty much the best show on cable news.
The creepy leering glare by Crowder in the videos freezeshot is just a bonus:
When trying to decode why I am not on Crowders side of the issue, especially when I acknowledge that he makes multiple solid points, I figured it all comes down to the quote from the clip that “ya, i’m at a higher risk of getting an STD. i’m also at a higher risk of having fun”.
A fisherman in the Bahamas caught a shark and hoisted it up by its tail fin. While it was thrashing around it burped up a human leg… Location? off the coast of a place where the movie “Jaws: The Revenge” was filmed.
NBC News Miami writer Todd Wright falls victim to the old “misuse of the word irony” trap by calling this story “a case of cruel irony” (it isn’t), but it’s so omg-worthy that I’m willing to look past it.
Bahamian authorities have determined the body found in the belly of a tiger shark belonged to a man who disappeared near there.
Judson Newton disappeared off Jaws Beach on Aug. 29 and he, or his remains, did not surface until after a group of fishermen reeled in a bloated tiger shark with an apparent taste for human flesh.
The shark was caught on Sept. 4, but it’s still unclear if Judson was killed by the shark or drowned and eventually eaten by the ocean predator.
When a fisherman caught the shark off the coast of the Bahamas, it spit up a human leg trying to get away. Once the animal’s belly was opened, officials found another leg, arms and a torso of a large man. There was no head.
UPDATE: I shared this story with my aunt, saying “they found all the guys body parts in the stomach of the shark”. her reply was “…did you see his penis?”. wtf??
Anyone who’s seen me get dressed knows I have to find “the shirt of the day” or the whole cosmic flow of my life is irrevocably derailed. It’s finding the right size, color, shade and type of shirt that goes for that day that can sometimes be a tricky process. What if instead of searching, I could just spray on the shirt type, style, color and design?
Evidently I’ll be able to do exactly that starting next year… neato. But somehow I doubt that this is going to actually be a thing anywhere except mall kiosks that sell novelty clothes like those shirts with LED panels in them that react to sound.
But back to the shirt-can thing: Here’s a video of the inventor spraying a shirt on a topless girl
Recently a video of a teenager chucking a bucket load of newborn puppies one by one into what was later identified as the Vrbas River appeared on the internet. It’s disturbing and really puts the lameness of the outrage over that lady in England who put a cat in a trash bin several weeks ago (as the UK Sun summarizes: bank worker Mary Bale caused worldwide outrage when she was caught on CCTV dumping a cat in a wheelie bin). Watch if you dare….
The river is in Bosnia and apparently the Bosian police are now investigating this incident and have identified the girl but the suspect is apparently NOT named Katja Puschnik as was previously posted online. She’s a minor so her info hasn’t been publicly released.
The girl’s parents were ordered to attend a police station near their hometown in Bogojno. From the Sun:
“Her parents will be responsible, and then her school, and then the entire society. The girl’s education was not a good one.”
Meanwhile, a German girl who was wrongly suspected of being behind the sick stunt has received death threats despite being cleared by police.
The 19-year-old – identified only as Claudia P, for her own safety – was named on a Facebook group as the girl in the film.
Her phone number and address were published on the page.
German police spokesman Peter Reichl said: “She received several hundred calls and even death threats.
Wait, *this* is what Chelsea Lately is? dude, ya’ll are haters. She’s funny.
