Clever… until you actually try to use the candle, and burn up your loot. Whoops.

You thought the tie made you a true patriot? Well, that’s not patriotic enough! If you buy this, then you can tell your friends that you sleep in blanket that proudly displays various patriotic phrases, bitch. And it’s made in the USA too. I wonder if it’s made at the same factory as the tie.

I can think of, well, nobody who is racing to the store to purchase the Honda Puyo, an eco-friendly concept car released last Fall. And, gee, I wonder why. Any thoughts? It might have something to do with its humble appearance, which seems to be the result of a collision between a toaster and a golf cart. Or maybe a loaf of bread and a golf cart. I can’t decide.
In any case, Honda’s affront to aesthetics raises an important question: If a company can make a product that’s bad for the environment, but looks “cool” (or is advertised as being “cool”), why can’t they create a product that’s good for the environment and also looks “cool”? Good luck trying to convince anyone that the Puyo looks “cool.” It must fall short of even the geekiest standards. Why does something that’s eco-friendly have to look like a piece of crap (on wheels, in this case)? Continue reading »

Whoever came up with the idea for a rooster that squirts lotion onto your hand and says “Cockle doodle do” every time you squirt the lotion onto your hand must really love cocks. I also like that the battery is non-replaceable. I just hope that you don’t get too attached to your “Sound Pump,” because sooner or later, that thing will stop crowing.

Two NY men were arrested after wheeling the corpse of their dead friend to a check-cashing store in attempt to cash his Social Security check. With friends like these…

This little baby does it all, removes double chins, eases neck and shoulder tension, gets rid of wrinkles, and tones the jaw line. “Without the pain of surgery,” instead something called an “eliminator” beating the crap out of your face every day. If you look like the lady in the picture, and you have a double chin, then well, I’m sorry, God doesn’t like you. Too harsh?
No Golden Globes, Instead Golden Press Conference

NBC didn’t back down, and neither did the writer’s guild, so there will be no glitzy televised ceremony this year.The Screen Actors Guild promised the Writer’s Guild that its famous actor members won’t cross the picket line, so no stars would show up even if they had a normal Golden Globes ceremony this year.
Instead, they’ll just show a press conference.
“We are all very disappointed that our traditional awards ceremony will not take place this year and that millions of viewers worldwide will be deprived of seeing many of their favorite stars,” said Jorge Camara, president of the Hollywood Foreign Press.
Apparently, the Hollywood Foreign Press will lose millions from this deal, mainly because they usually make millions from selling tables and broadcast rights. There won’t be tables because there’s no people to sit in them. The Hollywood Foreign Press usually use the money to fund film education initiatives, but I guess this year the uneducated film viewers will remain uneducated.
