Keith Olbermann shares insight regarding Carly Fiorina's "demon sheep" ad. The Python bit isn't the frightening part, but the glowing red eyes, and man in a sheep costume may keep you awake! Possibly the worst campaign ad of all time however, it was lauded by Democrats.
Things that go BOOM appeal to Boys of all ages. Now you can book a tour to Bolivia's Mt Ricco and have an explosive vacation. If that's not your idea of fun, you could stay at home like Chris Weller of Kent, England. Thirty thousand dollars later, his home is a luxury suite to gigantic reptiles. Best to meet potential dates at a coffee shop
After having his no heart attack heart attack in Hawaii over the holidays, it seems Mr Limbaugh needed to let us know he is all better now. Or maybe he is just all agaga for GaGa. I especially like how he patted and helped back to his chair by his trainer.
He is hot and single you know! And rich! Being rich got him one prime pelt that lasted almost 10 years! Though most of that time they lived in separate buildings. As you can well imagine!
So you were not aware that the Miss America Pageant had hired Rush Limbaugh as one of this years judges? The most boisterous sexist in America!? Well then, you are not listening to enough Rush Limbaugh! Even though his dancing is far more embarrassing than anything Elaine ever did, the Pageant did not throw him out on his fat ass like ESPN did for being a dumb putz.
So yes! Rush got a seat on the celebrity packed panel of judges which including Vivica Fox, Dave Koz, Katie Harman, Shawn Johnson and Brooke White. The MC for the evening was super celebrity Mario Lopez and, AND it was broadcast LIVE on The Learning Channel! The Miss America Pageant 2010
Imagine, 15,000 square feet of warehouse store that's a one stop shopping center for everything you need to grow cannabis. No prescription, no problem, doctors are on site! Alice B Toklas will be able to grow her special brownie ingredient, if this entrepreneur has his way. Feds have recently come down on pot buyers clubs, it will be interesting to see how long the pot growers clubs can stay below their radar with wide-spread publicity.
"The new iPad from Apple - can set you up with fast uploading without all that water bloating," confides one lady to another in this well done "MADtv" sketch. The greatly anticipated iPad is hailed as the most revolutionary piece of personal technology since the slide rule, but is a case of expensive product labeling gone horribly awry.
The centuries old mystery of The Mona Lisa's "secret smile" may be no more mysterious than a peek up her dress. Leonardo Da Vinci was a known prankster and homosexual. It's as likely that the famous painting is a self portrait, as it is any of the other women who have been
considered and rejected as possibilities throughout history.
If you're visiting either The Kensington Forum or the Kinsington South Holiday Inn branches in England,and happen to spot someone wearing a one-piece footed fleece pajama ensemble complete with hat, Easter hasn't come in the middle of winter. You've merely glimpsed one of the elusive bed warming staffers, whose warm presence is felt in the beds of hotel guests, but never seen unless you glimpse one scampering in and out of the rooms of absent guests.
While art is in the eye of the beholder, at first glance, Paul Larson of Everett, Wa seems a bit daft when you first see the eyesore he's made of his two-storey home, which is sitting on a hill in clear view from the road. Called "The greatest show on earth" by Larson, he has excellent reasons for what he's done, and he's done a lot! A few more art classes wouldn't have hurt Paul, but I'm with you all of the way. So far it's proved to be an ingenius way to keep the wolf AKA "the man" in the form of a greedy developer from his door!
As Don Moose Lewis, (who claims he is not racist ) is discovering, whites - "the minority,"
aren't rushing out to support his "product they identify with." The mayor of home town Augusta, GA said a resounding "No" to a premier in that fair city. The Athletic Director of Augusta State says "It's so absurd it's funny, but gives you an idea of the sickness in our society." It's not looking good for the other eleven towns he'd targeted as supporters in the south. What a pity, there would be certain entertaining challenges to maneuvering in those long white sheets.
Lewis thinks he has a terrific idea for others who are feeling like the white minority, want to return to the "glorious roots" of the sport, and away from the "street-type ball played by non-whites". Why basketball, and not an All Bubba Yahtzee league? To paraphrase the "non racist" Lewis, "Would you want to go to a game and worry about a player flipping you off, or grabbing their crotch?" I'm glad he's not racist, these two issues alone must keep people awake at night. I have news for him, those gestures are likely to come from and to people of all shades including white, en route to any destination in frequent bursts of road rage.
You've heard of these women, I've even known a couple. While others suffer through nine months of projectile vomiting and extreme discomfort topped by torturous labor, the oblivious feel just fine, thanks! They're not even aware anything's amiss.
The biggest inconvenience for the unknowing may be that their top jeans button is a bit snug like the woman in our story. Let's just say it's a good good thing she wasn't out at a Halloween party when she felt the need to visit the powder room. Leave it to The Soup to wonder what fun could be had if the reverse were to
happen to a pair of prepared parents-to-be in their very funny parody!
The top three of a year of geektacular stories from Rachel Maddow in 2009. For instance: Why parrots love men who can't love, or maybe it's their hair? Blaggo should join Stephen Fry on next year's "BBC Last Chance to See" and solve that mystery! There's much more to come!
Other stories making the top of the list: Robots who do everything, and yes, I do mean the G-rated ones, not the new sex robots. You won't be disappointed in
Iranian robot snakes, wall walking robots, and scary looking "Big Dog" traveling on all fours, and of course the smaller wheeled Urban Hopper. Mix well, and add 82 baby Sea Turtles born at Sea World, then glimpse other stories which nearly made it to the finals
"Sex only goes so far -- then you want to be able to talk to the person," These are the words of Douglas Hines founder of True Companion LLC, and creator of the soon to be released "World's first sex robot." He may not realize that the sole
reason some men turn to other outlets is to escape conversation and demands to cuddle, but Hines knows his market, he feels there's a growing number of people with little or no human interaction who are seeking his carefully engineered dolls.
Yes, there have been life-size dollies which need no inflation, but this sex robot is quite different. For merely seven to nine thousand dollars you too can have the latest in computerized companionship. Select Roxxxy, Wild Wendy, or Frigid Farrah. Each have distinct personalities and for realism, they snore.
It's up to you to find the off button, it's probably marked with a "G" so good luck!
Wowing crowds at the Las Vegas Adult Entertainment Expo, a "companion" dressed for bed, answered "I love holding hands with you," when she felt a touch on her hand. Unfortunately we can't print what Roxxxy said when touched elsewhere.
Geek alert! She's no Chatty Cathy doll. There's a laptop connected to cables coming out of her back. She has touch sensors at strategic locations and can sense when she's being moved, but can't move on her own, not even to turn her
head or move her lips. Very lifelike if you've been dating an extremely drunk ventriloquist. Sound comes out of an internal loudspeaker. Phrases demonstrated were prerecorded, however she will also synthesize phrases from prerecorded words and sounds. The laptop will receive updates over the internet to expand her capabilities and vocabulary, tailored to your interests. For instance if you're an astrophysicist, she can be taught to engage you in some simple shop talk, likewise if you're into BDSM or professional wrestling.
Good intentions, but creepy just the same. Hines, an engineer originally made a very life-like "doll" of a friend who perished in 9/11, believing it would preserve his friend's personality, giving his children a chance to interact with him as they were growing up. No word on how that one worked out. Hines
would like to take the robots beyond the sex industry, perhaps as home health care aides for the elderly and disabled.
"In a 2007 book, "Love and Sex with Robots," British chess player and artificial intelligence expert David Levy argues that robots will become significant sexual partners for humans, answering needs that other people are unable or unwilling to satisfy." My, how far technology has brought us. This is a very long way from The Mills Brothers fifties hit,"I'm Going to Buy a Paper Doll"..that I can call my own. New sexy robots stimulate your mind with pillow talk, choice of hot bods, personalities
This - is the stuff of bad dreams, you're riding the subway and suddenly realize you have no pants, just your underwear! Sunday it became a world-wide reality, and a nightmare to no one, though perhaps a bit chilly.
In New York alone, there were 4 to 5,000 pants less riders. It's January! Riders casually sat reading, talking, and listening to music as if it were any other day. It was only different by the exhibition of gooseflesh, cellulite, and perhaps some piercings and tattoos which don't usually see the light of day. There are no official numbers for the European train and subway riders who enthusiastically joined with others in Washington DC, Baltimore, San Francisco, and Seattle.
The odd thing is that in the U.S. which went berserk over a "wardrobe malfunction" a few years ago, people have taken to underwear clad subway and train riding with a blasé attitude. If you missed it, don't despair. Buy some nice undies and keep them clean, the group 'Improv Everywhere' famous for public 'scenes' plans more of the um....events.
Mercury is said to be in retrograde, a bad thing I gather. More likely, I suspect just as Rachel Maddow also opines, the nuts are with us always. They've simply never had instant media exposure before. From passengers and airport security to
Secret Service imposters, the list of behavior is beyond bizarre!
The incidents covered here all have taken place in just recent days. The individuals mentioned selected a highly sensitive time, in the wake of the Christmas Day Detroit terrorism attempt, assuring them greater exposure. We start with unbelievable airport security nightmares, and end with still more blatant security screw ups, similar to the Presidential party crashers.
As an example, the crowd waiting for six hours stranded in the Newark airport Sunday, were restless but resigned due to a "security alert." Had they known their six hours were shot by a love-struck Romeo dashing through security with no more lethal intent than to lay another good-bye kiss on his sweetheart, it might have turned into a wild scene, with not a few punches smack dab into his 'kisser." He is one of the more sane 'security threats.' Even an off duty PSA agent revealed an unexpected and grandiose side. Rachel gives us the rundown of freaky behavior, all committed in the last two weeks!
More than 200 naked people showed up on bikes at the 2007 Fremont Solstice Parade pictured. Naked bike rides of all things, are popular protest,celebration, and fund raising activities in Seattle, which often draw complaints else they'd be ignored by law enforcement. This raises questions in my mind beyond legality. Why would people who live in the absence of sunshine most of the year want to flaunt their blindingly pale bodies, more urgently, isn't bicycle riding possibly one of the more uncomfortable, if not outright dangerous activities to perform while nude?
Law enforcement has other concerns. In a vague comment, King County Sheriff's spokesman Sgt. John Urquhart said, "Whether being naked is a crime depends on the scenario."That opens a can of legal worms which the police have attempted to clear up with a few simple guidelines.
For instance, you may streak across the street in the buff and sprint off like a gazelle, in full view of an officer and may possibly be warned - or not, unless
another citizen sees you and complains. You then go from strange diversion for Officer Friendly to proud possessor of an Indecent Exposure charge.
A man may run in his boxers, "as long as that's all he's doing." Another one wide open to interpretation, what if he stops to purchase an energy drink at a convenience store, visit with new friends? There was no word on tighty whities,
bikini briefs, or thongs.
I thought this important. Traffic enforcement officers occasionally encounter people getting out of their clothes to try and get out of tickets. They want you to know it doesn't work. Sorry boys and girls, how do you think these things up?
At long last we have a decision on breast feeding, it is not indecent exposure, I'm sorry to break it to all who are offended, or secretly aroused.
In fact, laws on indecent exposure are flexible if nothing else. Only those performing lewd or obscene behavior, who also have witnesses willing to testify in court are eligible for a misdemeanor. Needless to say, the officers receive a lot of complaints, but not as many people willing to testify in court unless
the charge involves an adult and a minor, a gross misdemeanor, or someone convicted of a sex crime, a felony. It could be argued that even past sex offenders enjoy a good Solstice get-together.
As Sarah Palin found out in the Great Turkey massacre Interview, there's nothing like being oblivious while animals steal the show behind you. Tennis great Andy Roddick was in mid-interview, with family in tow when two amorous koalas put on a real show in full view of the camera and voyeuristic wallabies.
It's lovely that Mariah Carey was awarded for her role in the film 'Precious.' One couldn't help but notice that - in her own words, she was "a little ummm." Will her next appearance be a double header intervention with Dr.(no fun) Drew and Oprah Winfrey?
When you've been called a conspiracy group, and "too dumb" by Glenn Beck, you know you're 'out there.' Such were only two of the findings of World Net Daily, Birther central. They assumed Beck would gladly join their media campaign to knock President Obama out of office with their lame forged birth certificates, and he bluntly refused, hurling insults at both them and the Left.
Rachel Maddow and Kent Jones report on the Birthers who turned their ire momentarily from President Obama to Glenn Beck. One of the most certifiably crazy people in media today, Glenn Beck starts or latches onto some of the more
bizarre conspiracies, the Tea Party Movement, death panel propaganda, and Communists in every direction. It's easy to imagine shock on the part of the Birthers. Beck not only refused to become involved in the Birther media day, but among other things, told them there are other things they should worry about, like President Obama being a raging Communist. Okay, I admit that I began to wonder if Beck was an act until he spouted that comment.
See all of the fun, and the other insults Beck - of all people, hurled at the Birthers, the gang that couldn't forge straight, and marvel at his stubborn and insulting refusal to assist what must have been a large segment of his audience - until the Birther Media Showdown!
Do Republicans, and Fox n Friends in particular with a sense of humor? We all know the answer to the question, but it's always fun to see Joel McHale investigate.
Let the "F-Bombs" fly, Kathy Griffin has officially nabbed the questionable honor of first to drop one on live TV in the new year. While 2009 had several accidental slips, Griffin's was intentional, to the apparent chagrin of her co-host Anderson Cooper, who couldn't contain a small smile. The event happened Thursday night,while co-hosting "New Year's Eve Live With Anderson Cooper and Kathy Griffin."
Who was hitting the hard punch at the CNN company party and thought of pairing these two polar opposites? The question is more puzzling if you recall that at the same event last year Griffin shouted down a heckler with vulgarity. The network is in apologetic mode.
Griffin and Cooper were discussing balloon boy (AKA Falcon Heene) when Griffin intentionally pretended to have great and grim
trouble pronouncing Falcon Heene's name. After the mini-drop, Cooper shook his head and smiled. "You're terrible. Really terrible," quite a reprimand from the reserved Anderson Cooper. Hmm...perhaps Anderson wasn't so much shocked as wishing he could let fly now and then while he's discussing the news of the nation, which far too often is more absurd than the Balloon Boy episode?
Miss Dominican Republic may well settle one of the long term issues between feminists and pageant people. Feminists wish to see less emphasis on bathing suits and implanted breasts, with a preference for a more rounded beauty including intellect. After the disaster of Carrie Prejean, and this short clip from the beautiful Miss Dominican Republic, perhaps the problem will be solved in the future, by eliminating the question and answer portion of the pageant entirely.
Don't pass this tongue in cheek video by, if you believe you've seen all about Tiger Woods and his problems that you can stand. The animation team at Taiwan's Apple Daily hasn't rested on this story, with added drama and details! The translation team may have taken a snooze, but it's all the more amusing. I know, it's a terrible tragedy, and there shouldn't be anything funny about it. That said, we're calling it Art, and you'll see why it's my official Tiger Woods news
source now.
Follow William Smith, er - Tiger as the crew at Apple Daily strive to keep up! Having produced the first scandal in their outlandish, dramatic animation style with Taiwanese translation, they thought their work was done. Boy, were they
ever wrong! Now, they work 'round the clock to keep up with each new revelation (read girlfriend) and inside family details in the Woods saga. I'm not certain if their animation was intended to be humorous or over-the-top dramatic,
sensational, and sexy. Whatever their motivations, it's a Countdown favorite for good reason!
The Bad Ad Award of 2009 may well go to Microsoft. They ran this ad for Internet Explorer 8. The ad was intended to highlight the revolutionary private history browsing feature, but you may not have seen it. It had barely hit the media when people phoned, texted, and emailed to complain that it was frankly disgusting, until they pulled the ad. Not for the queasy.
For a scent you know will attract that certain someone, you can't miss with wearing perfume made from his favorite beverage, his staff of life, for some - their reason for living.
Ladies, do you really want to attract that certain someone, the one you met in the microbrew pub? First make sure that it's not his second...or first home, then spritz on a bit of refined beer sludge. Leave it to the eco-conscious whiz kids of Seattle to utilize the organic material left over from producing his favorite draft. The end result very clever and involved process is a perfume called EOS. It's said that it doesn't smell like beer, just a nice perfume. Before investing in a bottle, you may want to see the massive green sludge that
goes into the process of making beer. Better yet, a random sampling of Seattle beer fans leads me to think that a woman with her heart set on one of the beer faithful might be wiser to liberally douse herself in the real thing.
When your last name is Christmas, there has to be the temptation to name your baby, who is due on December 25th appropriately. When it's a family tradition, started by a fluke long ago, it's a must!
Robbie and Joanna Christmas are taking some criticism from friends for laying the name Mary on their child who is expected appropriately enough,on Christmas day. It turns out to be a family name, though not one started intentionally
as you'll see in this great tale of coincidence and family tradition
Parents of the year Richard and Mayumi Heene, received their sentences and a tongue lashing from the judge for their attempt to garner publicity in the Balloon Boy hoax, using their six-year old son Falcon.
"What this case is about is deception, exploitation — exploitation of the children of the Heenes, exploitation of the media and exploitation of people's emotions — and money," District Judge Stephen Schapanski said.
The odd phenomena of the decade, "reality tv" has extended fifteen minutes of fame into a half hour of notoriety. The recent party crashers at the White House are proof of this bizarre quest to become instant celebrities of a sort.
Richard Heene was determined to gain a reality show after several rejections. Publicity is what he was seeking, and he certainly got it. He could have received a much greater sentence and his wife was in danger of being deported to
Japan. For his misdemeanor, he received 90 days and 4 years of probation during which he cannot gain from the exploit. Somehow I feel we'll be hearing from Richard Heene in exactly four years. Falcon's mother Mayumi received 20
days in jail and 4 years probation as well.
"Sex only goes so far -- then you want to be able to talk to the person," These are the words of Douglas Hines founder of True Companion LLC, and creator of the soon to be released "World's first sex robot." He may not realize that the sole
