Volcanic ash from Iceland left a bunch of people unable to travel since I guess planes can’t fly through thick smokey earth-dust that gets shot up into the sky (pussies). The leader of Norway was one of those people stranded in NY by Iceland’s volcano but it was cool cuz he ran the country with his iPad. In other news–You can run Norway without multi-tasking
nice. and almost as good as this horrible non-pun headline from FoxNews.com that doesnt make any sense:
Ash-tranded?… the f#ck?… it doesnt meaning anything, it doesnt sound like “stranded”. its not a vernacular slang. its just, like my foreplay, fkkn weird and awkward, leaving others disappointed and confused.

Try saying THAT title 108 times fast, eh? or don’t, since the bigger news is that Conan just signed a deal with TBS. But first the Slash pic:
Okay, so that’s kindov amusing. but what about this TBS bullshit? His new show will only be on Mondays through Thursdays – no Friday show?? dude… that’s when all his middle school to high school fans watch. It was the only time I watched growing up at least. ug… It will air at 11 p.m. Eastern, pushing George Lopez’s show “Lopez Tonight,” to midnight, which I find delightfully coincidental. How awesome would it have been if Lopez wrote a public letter to TBS in the style of Conans to NBC where they both refuse to move their shows from 11 to midnight to accommodate a new host? dude…
So why no Fox? Those of us who were paying attention knew that Fox was publicly saying they weren’t in negotiations or were actively interested but… didn’t 100% of us think that was bullshit? TBS? i just.. i… oy…
The AP reports: “In three months, I’ve gone from network television to Twitter to performing live in theaters, and now I’m headed to basic cable,” O’Brien said in a tongue-in-cheek-toned statement. “My plan is working perfectly.”
Theres no way this TBS bullshit is for real.. you heard it here first: Conan probably has a 1-2 year deal there designed to show the Fox affiliates that he is not ratings poison. once he’s shown to be a tested and proven commodity on TBS and the Fox execs convince their affiliates to carry him, Coco will respectfully not renew his contract with TBS and move to Fox at 11pm. Theres just no other way this makes sense. and no one is calling it out. wtf dude… im tellin you. you heard it here first…
Giant house-sized poop bubbles are growing and becoming dangerous in the “waste lagoons” at a dairy farm in Winchester, Indiana. When I think of a lagoon, I think tropical, I think Gilligans Island. Way to ruin that word by informing me that there are such things as open air cow shit “lagoons”, Wall Street Journal… The giant bubbles are made from a plastic lining that was supposed to stay at the bottom of the damn thing but something clearly went wrong and now they are filling with gas from all the poop that got underneath it. Nearby houses are annoyed/terrified that volatile shit bubbles are in their back yard. If one were to pop, the explosion could destroy millions. Actually, I made that up, but they DO allude to danger if they pop. All I can think about is getting a gun and shooting them just to see what horrible shit-boom occurs.
Well, the fun is over and the problem is solved I guess. NY Mag reports that the bubbles have deflated like “raisins in the sun” which sounds impossible, or at least extremely rare. Kinda like toasting toast – you toast bread and you put grapes in the sun to turn them into raisins. Toasting toast and shrinking a raisin in the sun? no thanks.
My first idea was that this looks like a perfect source of green energy and got angry at the double fail that this isn’t already done everywhere. Every dairy farm everywhere should be harvesting the methane gas from their livestock into energy. wtf guys?? I was disappointed when I saw someone else make this suggestion on the WSJ’s comments, but still wonder why its not friggin happening.
When life gives you lemons – make poop bubbles that can pay the electric bills.
For one day, FunnyOrDie.com became the best website on the internetz. The April Fools day conversion to Bieber or Die was a good idea that was executed in a good way. The homepage adorned with a cutout of Biebers lesbian haircut in the background and an all Bieber video que on auto-play was amusing but the individual videos are what made it. They satirize the 16 year old singers style, image and weird ghetto-prep persona in a way that benefits both sides: you watch it and go “ya, thats EXACTLY how that little twerp is” but also have to acknowledge that he’s going along with the self deprecation so you can’t help but dock him several douchebag points from his list.
The image says it all, but the video is here for your viewing pleasure as well:
16 and pregnant really is the best comedy on tv right now. the tragic tales of irresponsible teenage behavior are entertaining epics that haven’t made me LOL this much per-episode since Tiny Toons briefly spun off with The Plucky Duck Show.
Tapped is a film that examines the role of the bottled water industry and its effects on our health, climate change, pollution, and our reliance on oil.
Some of it makes me shiver in fear, some of it makes me roll my eyes in disappointment. As a youtube commenter noted on the video: “1 person in charge of regulating bottled water” well yes? i expect that, like 1 person in charge of the USA, one person in charge of a football team. I support the general need to reduce plastic waste and transporting water, but films like this need a lot of stone cold facts, not clever wording.
The measure’s main advocate, Richard Lee, an Oakland marijuana entrepreneur, savored the chance to press his case with voters that the state’s decades-old ban on marijuana is a failed policy.
“We’re one step closer to ending cannabis prohibition and the unjust laws that lock people up for cannabis while alcohol is not only sold openly but advertised on television to kids every day,” he said.
Lee, tapping $1.3 million from his businesses, has put together a highly organized campaign that he emphasized Wednesday would be led by a team of experienced political consultants, including Chris Lehane, a veteran operative who has worked in the White House and on presidential campaigns.
“There’s all kinds of big professional politicos who are coming on board now to take it to the next level,” Lee said.
Opponents have also started to put together their campaign. “There’s going to be a very broad coalition opposing this that will include law enforcement,” said John Lovell, a Sacramento lobbyist who represents the California Police Chiefs Assn. and other law enforcement groups. “We’ll educate people as to what this measure really entails.”
The measure, like the medical marijuana initiative, could put California on a collision course with the federal government. The possession and sale of marijuana remain a federal crime.
Fox News raised that exact issue today while providing me some lulz cuz they say “sticky” situation twice. teehee.
