Sikhs Are Not Terrorists

A UPS driver entered a Sikh man's name as TERRORIST on its online package-tracking database. The man's family discovered the epithet when they searched for a package UPS failed to deliver.

Attn: Cheap Storage Space

This was nominated on Consumerist.com as one of the Greatest Moments in Commercial History. I recommend this guy for storing ANYTHING you can't fit at your apartment or house.
If this blog is for business ideas, why don't we consider duplicating his idea?

Don't be a Christmas Failure!!



This is your scale on how to know how good your present is on Christmas morning. If they don' t react like this kid, then you have failed. (And if they are more excited then this, please video tape it and put it on youtube)

** The sister is my favorite because she really doesn't care for the 64 and you know she never played it, but she wants to be like her older brother so she copies everything he does. Truly classic.

After watching the real version, I recommend the remix:

Tryouts for Dodgeball

Blake wanted to post it, but I am adding my text. (This is Alex)

Is that the fastest our secret service can get? The guy got 2 shoes off and thrown at the President of the United States before anyone came running out the back. I mean, what if they guy had a more deadly weapon, he would have gotten 2 chances at striking down our president!

2nd- Congrats Iraq on being democratic, in the old world/way - that guy would have been shot for disprecting a leader. And who says were not winning the war!

3rd- This is the type of thing I am looking for in a President. Seriously, he went up at least 2% in my ratings for his agility to dodge the shoe.

4th - Please rewatch it and look at the Senator or whomever is next to him give his pathetic attempt at blocking the shoe. How embarassing, I mean John McCain could have gotten his hands higher and faster. Speaking of.....

5th- Why there be a obstacle course debate. All throughout the debate, McCain v Obama are trying to give their memorized answers while dodging shoes, food, pillows, etc.. Your telling me you wouldn't watch that? On another note, it's amazing that Bush still gets up everyday and does what he is asked to do. If everyone in the world was literally and figuratively throwing shoes at you, would you continue going to school or working long days for that company? Good for you George Bush and (Insert announcer voice) 'we'll see you on the next American Gladiators.'

Little Adolf?













I didn't know whether to laugh or cry when I read this story about little Adolf. Either way, I'm sure you will find it as unreal as I did. Make sure to read the whole article to catch the name of his sister.

FYI: BCS Game Will Be Broadcast in 3-D


LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Sony Electronics and Fox Sports on Tuesday said they will beam the national college football championship game to 80 theaters in 3-D next month in the latest example of the sports world tapping into this new viewing technology.

Sony Electronics, a unit of Sony Corp, and News Corp's Fox will deliver live the FedEx Bowl Championship Series (BCS) national championship game between the University of Florida and University of Oklahoma on January 8.

The game will be shot from Dolphin Stadium in Miami using privately-held 3ality Digital's image-capture technology and transmitted live via Cinedigm Digital Cinema Corp satellite distribution network.

There will also be a 3-D viewing that day at the Paris Hotel and Casino's Theater des Arts in Las Vegas at a Sony-sponsored event during the Consumer Electronics Show.

RealD, which has rolled out 3-D systems in 1,500 theaters around with world, will also co-sponsor the CES event.

The college football 3-D event follows closely on the heels of other 3-D sports broadcast initiatives. Last week, the National Basketball Association said it was teaming up with Turner Sports to broadcast in 3-D a night of events associated with the U.S. sports league's all-star game in February.

And the National Football League also recently broadcast a game in a test for media and other guests between the Oakland Raiders and San Diego Chargers in three cities.

Mayne Street

I don't know if any of you have watched Mayne Street on ESPN.com, but it's a little show with our old friend Kenny Mayne. Some of the episodes are not that great, but I loved this one. The marriage counseling scene with Cowboy is especially entertaining.

Rocky on Wikipedia

I don't know how I randomly came across this, but the entry about "Rocky Balboa" on Wikipedia just killed me. I love how it has his life history and fights like he was a real person.

Hack-of-the-Week: Prank the Superbowl


With the big game coming next month, you may want to know how to hack the Superbowl. In 2007, Superbowl XLI featured the man who is a symbol: Prince. We all remember his classic halftime show (NOT!), but you may not have seen the other halftime performance. Zug.com is a website dedicated to pranks. They spent $40k pranking the Superbowl. This is amazing because the security around the Superbowl is just as tight for the President. Some readers may want to just watch the video, but I recommend reading the whole story if you have the time. It will teach you how to prank the Superbowl.

My Christmas present to you...

Christmas is fast approaching and we are giving to gifts to those around us. Well, when it comes to giving gifts to that special someone we have to be careful because as Jerry Seinfield said: "Whatever I give her, she will be bringing in experts from all around the world to detect the meaning of it." Thank Goodness for this video to help guide us and let us know what to beware of.

Alert- You Cannot Send A Drawing Of A Spider As Payment


This is the Hack-of-the-Week post. (Although, this hack doesn't work.)

"David didn't have the money to pay his account, so he decided to see if they'd accept a drawing instead. Turns out they won't. The email exchange that follows is hilarious, and much more entertaining for both parties than the old put-the-wrong-check-in-the-envelope trick"

The Sports Czar - We Salute You!

This is written by the Sports Guy on ESPN.com. In being asked to be the 'Sports Czar' this is what he came up with if he could change the world of sports. And its, well, incredible. Please read, and then dream about College football play-offs, U.S. vs Canada hockey, and a game of H-O-R-S-E at the NBA All-Star Weekend. If you enjoy sports, you must read further.

Q: I would like to nominate you, Bill Simmons, for a new Sports Czar position in the Obama cabinet. It's a position that's needed in government, no? You're the only one who can save this country from future sports missteps.
-- Travis, Minneapolis

SG: Travis, I accept your nomination even though I lack the legal background, the authority and the connections. With 10 weeks to fine-tune my platform before President Obama officially takes office, here's a rough draft of ideas I'm kicking around. Some of them have already been mentioned in this column; I just wanted to get everything in one place. Feel free to send me any additional suggestions. On the first week of 2009, I will post a complete platform for my bid to become the first Sports Czar.

Creations: A college football playoff system; a uniform boxing organization; a better trophy for the World Series; championship belts for the defending NBA champs that they must bring to every game; a hierarchy of alcoholic beverages for baseball celebrations (cheap beer, then good beer, then cheap champagne, then good champagne); an NBA expansion team in Seattle, effective for the 2010-11 season; a no-exception three-city rotation for the Super Bowl among New Orleans, Miami and San Diego; a full-length indoor basketball court in the White House, with all games involving Obama televised on NBA TV; a purple Masters-type sports coat for the winning March Madness coach (presented to him by last year's coach as Jim Nantz orgasmically looks on); relegation for Major League Baseball (a 30-team league with the bottom two teams forced to move to Triple-A for a year).

Eliminations: The backstroke, butterfly and breaststroke events in the Olympics; baseball managers cannot wear uniforms anymore; no more seat licenses, NIT or Tony Siragusa; no NFL division champ can make the playoffs unless it wins nine games; no more three-man booths except for Van Gundy, Jackson and Breen; the bullpens can't empty during a baseball fight; no NHL ticket can cost more than $75; no tax write-offs for season tickets, but you CAN write off luxury suites; no more sideline reporters unless they agree to dress like Julia Roberts in "Pretty Woman"; no more cell-phone calls by spectators during sporting events (you can only text); no more sunglasses in the World Series of Poker.

Restructures: The NHL will disband eight teams, move a few more to Canada and form 11-team conferences in the United States and Canada; Fox's No. 1 team for baseball broadcasts will be selected in a vote by the users of FoxSports.com; the Nets and Bobcats will merge and move to Vegas next season (and become the Las Vegas Dice); the Utah Jazz and New Orleans Hornets will switch nicknames; Gus Johnson will be promoted to CBS' lead play-by-play guy for March Madness and the Final Four; Buffalo residents can purchase the Bills in a public trust (like how Sconnies own the Packers); all "live" sporting events will be shown live again and not on a brief tape delay, and if anyone out there can't handle hearing an occasional F-bomb, then don't watch live sporting events; a three-game exhibition season for the NFL with two regular-season bye weeks (not one); the entry fee for the WSOP will be raised to $25,000; two rounds for the Home Run Derby and that's it; H-O-R-S-E for NBA All-Star Weekend; ESPN Classic's budget is tripled; the Olympics and World Cup will happen every three years (not four).

New rules: No pregame show will be allowed to have more than four people (except for NBC's "Football Night in America," which will shift to a "Hollywood Squares" format); if you purchase a player's jersey and that player is traded within 12 months, you can return the jersey and buy a new one for half price; incoming college freshman recruits don't have to honor an NCAA scholarship if their sleaze-bag coach ditched them after he signed them; all professional owners either have to sell their team before they turn 80 or before they start looking like a sea monster; a forced agreement where the NFL Network is carried by all cable systems; baseball fans get to vote on the entrance music for their closers; golfers have to carry their own bags for the PGA Championship; the "Real World/Road Rules Challenge" will replace the Australian Open as tennis' fourth major (with the top six male and female tennis players competing against MTV cast members); no more 20/20 flashes on sports radio shows (we move to a 30/30 flash); the U.S. Olympic basketball team cannot have anyone over 25 years old; David Halberstam's "The Breaks of the Game" must be re-released; Chris Rose will be liberated from "The Best Damn Sports Show" and given a better show; Tropicana Field is immediately blown up; Isiah Thomas will replace Donna Orender as the commissioner of the WNBA, effective immediately.

Where did Evolution go wrong with Cats?


We live in the 'ghetto' of a pretty nice town, which means instead of murders and gangs walking our streets, we have to deal with something almost worse, stray cats. They are everywhere, they smell, they scare the crap out of me and megs when were walking up our stairs, and they pee on our door step! It's horrible, which got me thinking....

I will openly admit that I want to be a cat guy! (Please keep reading, just trust me and hear me out on this one) But I'll be the first to admit that there the worst pet animals ever. There lazy, they sleep all day, there never around, they don't play fetch, and you can't take them to the woods, mountains, camping, or even a walk. I mean there is really nothing appealing about cats. But I want to pose the question that needs asking. WHY?!? I mean, think about it. The jaguar, the Bobcat, the panther, the cheetah, the tiger, and the lion - All incredible animals that anyone, man or women will agree that they are some of the coolest animals on earth, across the board. Their predatory attitude in the wild along with their uncanny speed, agile movements, and so much more makes them so unique and fun to watch. We pay ridiculous amounts of money to watch them in caged scenarios, let alone on the discovery channels. But when it comes to their little brother, we shoo them, we ignore them, and we simply despise them. Isn't this is the equivalent of having Erkel be the little brother of Fonzi. It just doesn't make sense to me. Somewhere along the line, someone started breeding the runts of the bobcat family. I mean, there has to be a logical explanation. I want to know what happened? Where did evolution take the wrong turn? When and where did these cats become boring? When did they become the stray nuisance that they are? I just want answers!!! I want to know why having a cat isn't like having a miniature jaguar or cheetah walking around my house!

The tumble of one Scarlet Seavers

On October 9 of this historic year while the economy was hitting new lows, the presidential debates were raging on, and all men everywhere were angry Katie Holmes had been replaced by Maggie Gyllenhaal--a certain young woman by the name of Scarlet Seavers decided to bring 4 minutes of happiness to Youtube viewers across the internet.  Not even a month later her earth-shattering "tumble" has been seen over 3 million times. 


And now I present it to you for your viewing pleasure.

PS- Many who want the cheap, quick humor can fast forward to the 2:30 mark--but I highly recommend the buildup.

The Most Powerful Comedian

So, with politics in full swing and a lot of people teeter tottering on who to pick? Let me help put things into perspective. We have a world economy crisis, multiple wars on terrorism, serious moral issues in question and our next leader is trying to get elected on Saturday Night Live. Isn't this the same show that has made fun of every President and politician since it became socially ok to make fun of your President on national T.V.? It is amazing that our Politicians have chosen such an unusual stage to fight to the end on. I mean, what once was a late Saturday night show of comedians banding together to make fun of whatever the current pop culture has to offer is now the platform to solve those above issues. I mean think about it, our current presidential hopefuls are seriously volunteering to poke fun of themselves in front of the very audience that for years never voted or cared about politics? The type of crowd and that typically doesn't agree with anything that comes out of the White House. I just think its well, unique. Another thought, before the election, both will volunteer to make fun of themselves and make multiple guest appearances but weeks later when one is called President, he will never go to SNL to 'connect with the people' again. Is it it because President's have better things to do with their time? Seriously, I have no idea, why is this? (Also, how odd is it that these politicians go there and meet the people that have been making fun of them for weeks. I mean, how does the Tina Fey and Sarah Palin meeting go down?) In closing, It is just amazing to me that our world has come to (not that I think its horribly negative) the world's most powerful man (the next President) has pit stops on a satirical saturday night comedy show, just days and weeks before they get elected. Can you imagine Cesaer Augustus poking fun of himself before being crowned or Winston Churchill making himself the center of laughter?

This being said, watch both SNL skits and tell me who you thought did a better job?
