Laugh of the Day: Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I Unplugged the TV During The Game

Jimmy Kimmel has done it again, and this time he did something that made some people go ballistic.  Don't ever unplug a TV during the Superbowl, never!  That is a major no-no, as some of these kids and wives have learned. LOL.


Kimmel has been known to offer challenges to his viewers that are quite hilarious.  He did it over Halloween by having parents hide their kids' candy, and he did over Christmas when he asked them to tape their kids opening a present with something terrible inside.

This time, Jimmy Kimmel asked his viewers last week to submit a video titled, "Hey Jimmy Kimmel, I unplugged the TV during the game," and let me tell you, there were some pissed folks. LOL.  The object of the prank was to wait for a crucial moment of the game, and then unplug the TV.

WHATEVER YOU DO, DO NOT CUT IT OFF DURING MADONNA'S SUPERBOWL PERFORMANCE!!! LMAO!

Giants vs Patriots - The Social Buzz

So what was up with the social buzz yesterday in regard to the Superbowl?  

As I predicted...

That while no one really likes the New York Giants, no one can stand the New England Patriots.  As you can tell by the evidence shown on this chart.

This according to Social Buzz Media:

This is the second Big Game match-up for these two teams in recent years. The New York Giants beat the New England Patriots 17-14 in 2008 for Super Bowl XLII. But are citizens of the great United States hoping for an even score?

Not according to our data! We analyzed the search keywords, sharing behaviors and other social data points of millions of Internet users and found that the Giants are causing the most activity.

On February 5th, A Legend Will Rock America's Largest Stage...

Madonna will take center stage at halftime of Super Bowl XLVI, flanked by Cirque du Soleil performers in what traditionally is one of the year's most watched shows.

The NFL announced Sunday night, in a press release, that the Michigan-born singer would headline the halftime show on February 5, 2012, at Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis.

She follows other high-profile acts in recent years, including the Black Eyed Peas and Usher during the most recent edition of pro football's championship game at Cowboys Stadium in Texas. [source]

Happy 4th of July!

May you all have a safe and happy 4th of July.  Be careful with your fireworks if you're in an area that can use them.  I know that in my home state of Texas, no one is allowed to pop any, due to the extreme weather conditions and severe drought.  Well... I'm sure we can pop them, if we want to go to jail.

 

No NFL Football This Fall... Wait Until 2012

Yes, you heard me.  Well... you read it; There may be no football until the 2012 season.  And its not because of the economy or the league going bankrupt; quite the opposite.  While people are barely making ends meet, the owners of each team want to get richer, and the players want to join them.  I was reading an article in the Huffington Post about a collective bargaining agreement that expires on March 3, and if there isn't a new one drawn up before then, the owners are considering locking out the players.  Which means... no games this fall season.  This hasn't happened since 1987.  Read more about it here.

Quite honestly, these people should be ashamed of themselves; owners and players both.  The players already make millions and the owners are already gazillionaires.  It's unfortunate that neither one can come up with a solution.  Make it to where there's a permanent salary cap, and re-evaluate after 50 years, LOL.  At least I'll be gone by then.
