Are People Really This Stupid?

The other day when I heard the news about the baseball fan who fell to his death at a Texas Rangers Game, I got real distraught.  I mean, here was a dad who took his 6-year old son to a ballpark, and within a matter of minutes he was dead.  I cannot begin to imagine, or even contemplate what would happen if such a tragedy occurred with me.

For those who don't know the story, you can read about it here, but long story short, the Rangers have a custom of tossing balls to their fans at every game.  When one of the outfielders threw a ball to him, the father reached too far over a railing and fell 27 feet onto a concrete pavement.  That wasn't the end of it.

It was expected he was going to live, because he was still talking to everyone, waving his hands back and forth, and even had a chance to talk to his son.  But on the way to the hospital he went into cardiac arrest, and died.  Shannon Stone was 39 years old.
The reason I'm writing this post, is because it almost happened again two nights ago.  

At this point, I'm about to re-evaluate my feelings on the whole matter.  Why on God's green earth would you attempt to do exactly the same thing Shannon Stone did (and DIE) at a baseball game?  

I swear, the first time I can feel sorry for you, because I may not understand the concept of it all; the 2nd time, I just can't!  Are people really this stupid?   

Keith Carmickle from Phoenix, Arizona would have been dead Monday night, if it were not for his brother and friend who grabbed his ass, and kept him from falling.

Thinking it's a funny thing, Carmickle says,

''I thought: I've lived a good life,'' as he's dangling.

Oh, really??? Unbelievable, and then he comes on Good Morning America today and says, "I was using bad judgement on my part."  No shit Sherlock!  What a change of heart all of a sudden.  I swear, I'm done with this post, it just keeps making me angry. ugh.

Our Future Is In Their Hands - Take 3

As you all well know, online videos can go viral within a matter of days. But they can also go down just as fast.  Which is the case with this brilliant little boy named Calen. 

No longer available on YouTube, the following video takes place during a family Thanksgiving, where a gay couple, and this adorable little kid have a discussion on gay marriage.

“A husband’s a boy, a wife is a girl and a husband's a boy?” the boy confers “Then you two are husbands!? You married each other?! That’s funny.”

He then added, “I always see husbands and wives, but this is the VERY FIRST TIME I’ve ever seen husbands and husbands!" the boy exclaims... "So… that means you love each other!"

Now if the kid understands, why can't the bigots and hypocrites of this country understand?  

"So that means you love each other!" - PRICELESS!

In the end, it didn't matter to him if this couple was gay, all he understood was that they loved each other, and that is all that mattered to him.

"I’m going to go play ping pong now. You can play too if you want,” he tells them.

OMG Hilarious! - Data Recovery

I discovered a new web-comic today, and I absolutely love it!  It's creator is Justin Boyd, an artist from Australia. 

Here's an excerpt from Justin's "About" page on his website, Invisible Bread:

Hi!  This is Invisible Bread!

This site updates every Tuesday and Thursday with new comics containing infinite amounts of bread that you can’t see.  If you ever see any bread, please let me know because it’s supposed to be invisible.

Today's comic is titled, "Data Recovery"

 

I will post this web-comic from time to time and will categorize it under the same category as Cyanide and Happiness' web-comic.  If  you want to know more about Invisible Bread, check them out after the jump.

Mind-Boggling News: Penis Thrown Into Garbage Disposal

Yeah, you read that right.  You might've thought that Lorena Bobbitt was long gone, but that bitch has returned. Re-incarnated!  

Back when I was in college we all read about how this crazy woman cut off some dude's dick, and threw it out in a field somewhere.  In the end, the dick was found and they sewed it back together, but the anguish he must have felt - ugh, I can't even think about it.

This time around, a woman named Catherine Kieu Becker filled her husband up with drugs or some type of poison to make him sleepy, tied him up, and when he woke up, told him, "you deserve this you fucking bastard," and cut off his dick.  Okay, so she didn't say "you fucking bastard," but she did chop the damn thing off.  She went to the kitchen and dropped it in the garbage disposal, "chop, chop, chop."

The guy is listed in stable condition after emergency surgery.  OMG, I feel for the guy - there are some crazy bitches out there.  

Straight guys, if you're reading this - and you cheat - you better fucking run.  Gay guys, we know you don't do that sort of thing, we value our dicks too much.  If our boyfriends or husbands cheat, we just sleep with their best friends or their very hot brother. LOL, just kidding.

What a Hot Mess: Need a Job? Try REDBOX

You see, these are the reasons you got to love Facebook.  To mess with people's minds. LMAO.  I can't stop laughing, because I just started imagining seeing Olivia run up to a REDBOX machine knocking on it. OMG! What a Hot Fucking Mess! LOL

WHAT-A-RECIPE - Lobster Rolls

I actually never heard of Ben Sargent until I read an article on CNN, where this guy from Massachusetts was "shelling out 150 rolls a night from his snug Brooklyn apartment to the lobster-loving masses - well, that is until the Department of Health paid him a little visit and scrubbed his whole shellfish stint."

According to the article, Sargent was offered a job on the Cooking Channel, where he hosts his own show, "Hook, Line & Dinner."

Luckily for me and you, I saved the images from the article, because I didn't want there to be a chance I couldn't find the recipe.  The following images not only offer a step-by-step guide on how to cook a lobster, but a recipe on how to make Sargent's delicious Lobster Rolls.   They really do look quite delicious - I can't wait to try the recipe sometime.

Check out the slideshow I made, it's pretty cool... (enlarge to read the captions)

The Tree of Ages

I absolutely love this picture.  It's hard to imagine that some trees can live for thousands of years, but this one in particular is quite special.  

The picture below is a cross-section of a tree in America that lived through Mohammed being born, Joan of Arc, the discovery of our country, electricity, and the civil war, until it was cut down in 1891.

What a Hot Mess: Bang Bang & Boom Boom

I know that July 4th has already passed, but I couldn't help but post this hot mess of a commercial on my blog.  

Seriously?  Who all wants to go with me and visit Bang Bang and Boom Boom?  Oh. My. God. What a hot mess!

Isn't This The Truth? "The Secret's Out"

It's sad, but the comic below actually is quite true.  Why pay for a gym membership, study law, rent a house, or buy food, when you can get it all for free in prison?  I mean, sure you'll have some burly man, cozying up to you at night, but you can't beat the benefits anywhere else.  Everything is paid for!

TNT's "DALLAS" - First Look

If you missed last night's "First Look" on the return of "Dallas" to the small screen, then wait no more... I have the trailer from TNT right here.  If you're a fan of the old series, or remember the characters, this will definitely take you back to yesteryear, and we absolutely loved it!

The preview starts with Bobby (Patrick Duffy) with his all too familiar voice, "All those fights over Ewing Oil, and Southfork. We laid waste to everything in our path, J.R., and for what?”

OMG! This is Priceless!

Entertainment Weekly said it best:

"There was a shot of a liver-spotted hand, then a glimpse of some wildly overgrown white eyebrows — why, it was J.R. Ewing himself! Hagman sat in a chair in a darkened room, looking as though he was trying to turn Southfork into a set for The Godfather."

Most of the lines were from Bobby, but you got a sense of all the drama that would ensue.

“I am sick to death of this family devouring itself over money!” said Bobby.

“No drilling on my ranch!” said Bobby to Henderson’s John Ross.

The Good-looking and hot-tempered son of Bobby and Pam, Christopher (Metcalfe) angrily says, “Oil’s the past, John Ross.”

“Couldn’t disagree more,” snaps John Ross. “You’ll never be a Ewing, Christopher!”

The trailer cuts back and forth between J.R. and Bobby, and the new brood of Ewings.

“I don’t want them to be like us,” said Bobby, talking about the new-new-new Ewings.

And I also agree with Ken Tucker, from Entertainment Weekly, responding to Bobby's suggestion of not wanting the kids to be like them:

"Well, I do. The more the new young punks act like the ruthless barons of the 1980s hit, the better this series will be."

And this is exactly true, the more ruthless and scandalous John Ross and Bobby are, the stronger the show will be.  This is what made "Dallas" a powerhouse back in the 80's. 

It was also great hearing the infamous theme song in the background as the words, “Money,” “Power,” and “Rivalry” blazed across the screen.

You also have sense of betrayal, when a brief close-up of Sue Ellen telling John Ross, "Think of me as your ally," flashes across the screen.

For those who remember the original series, the last 5 years of the show, Sue Ellen was always siding with Bobby, or finding ways to get back at J.R.  So I'm interested to see what she meant by saying "ally" to John Ross.  I mean, he is her son after all, what won't a mother do for her son?

And finally, one of the most memorable lines from last night, “Bobby was always a fool” and “I’m the one who belongs on Southfork. It’s mine, and only mine.” J.R. proclaims.

Documentaries To Watch: The Captains

On July 21, the documentary, "The Captains" premieres on EPIX HD.  You'll watch as William Shatner (Captain Kirk) hunts down all the wonderful actors who played Star Trek captains in each of the television series.

He'll interview The Next Generation's Captain Picard, Deep Space Nine's Captain Benjamin Sisko, and Voyager's Captain Janeway, (Patrick Stewart, Avery Brooks, Kate Mulgrew).  He was even gracious enough to interview Scott Bakula from Enterprise. I never watched that show, so forgive me for not knowing his character's name, and I really didn't care enough to look it up.  I'm sorry, I just didn't.

Shatner also interviews Chris Pine from the 2009 Star Trek movie.

The Joys of Being a Parent: Wake Up, Smile, Sleep, Repeat

OMG, this is absolutely adorable!  I cannot wait for my sister to have her very first baby.  This is what parenting is all about!  Her baby isn't due until October 1st, but I can already see Liliana doing this.  

Watch as baby wakes up, smiles, and falls back to sleep.  She does it over and over again, that's what makes it so hilarious!

Foods That Will Make You Fat - Issue No. 15

I don't even know where to begin with today's issue of "Foods That Will Make You Fat."  Geez, really?  What the hell? Do people actually eat this crap?  I've been asking myself this same question for the past 13 issues, and I still can't get an answer.  All I know is, people have issues.

The Cornhole

How does one eat a cornhole?  Really?  How on God's green earth do I eat this thing?  Am I supposed to eat it from the outside in?  I don't give a shit, it's disgusting!  Not sure what all it consists of, but from what I can see, it looks like a corn on the cob, some hot dogs, cheese and some type of meat loaf breading around it.  Yeah, this will make you fat.

The Bacon Mug

Anyone who has the time to make a mug out of bacon has got too much on their hands.  Are people actually getting paid to make this thing?  I'm not even going to ask what the hell is in that mug.

Krispy Kreme Bacon Cheddar Burgers

I'm going to say that Krispy Kreme is in no way responsible for this mess, because if they are, you have every right to sue their asses. Let's see...you have a glazed doughnut, which has a gazillion calories and fat, a thick beef patty, fried bacon and some cheesy cheddar cheese.  Yeah, it's a hot mess, if you ask me.

How To Make a 32 Foot Concrete Bear Holding a Pillow

Yeah, I thought the same thing.  How?  Well, this remarkable video follows the creation by Florentijn Hofman who took this challenge, and decided to record it's construction from start to finish.  The video is only 6 minutes, so it wouldn't hurt to check it out.  It was entertaining, and pretty cool.

The bear was named "Steel Man" and was placed in a neighborhood in Amsterdam.

Summertime Meal Planning

This actually doesn't sound like a bad idea.  I wonder if this would work as a diet plan too? Hmmm...

One Giant Leap For Mankind

On Friday I blogged about the last space shuttle mission that occurred on July 8th, and the lasting impact it has left on all of us. It was an era in space exploration that spanned over 3 decades.

Today, I bring you a video courtesy of NPR.  It covers the Columbia, Challenger, Discovery, Atlantis, and Endeavour Space Shuttles, which flew a little over 100 missions in it's illustrious career - it really is a sight to behold.

FATHOMS - An Animated Sci-Fi Film With a Heart

I wanted to blog about this earlier in the week, but I just never got around to doing it, but I'm actually fascinated with movies like this.  It's only a 20-minute film, but the story behind it is what drew me to it. 

Filmmaker Joe Russ has created a film that revolves around a cat named Hippo, and two humans, Sam and Evan who are surviving in a salvage submarine through the remains of New York.  The city was destroyed along with the rest of the world in some sort of Environmental meltdown, which has left most of the earth underwater.  He is hoping to raise $7,500 to finish the film, and is asking for help.  If there was a way, I would, but like most of America, we're in crunch.

Russ describes his movie, "Fathoms" like this:

The ice caps have melted. The air is filled with a poisonous smog. No land. No safety. Sam and Evan, along with their rescued cat, Hippo, pilot the scavenger Arken, a salvaging submarine. Together, they search the endless seas for organic life and raw materials to help rebuild their world.

Sam is still holding onto her past, trying to stay ever hopeful in the face of a ever darker reality. Evan, like a father, is trying to keep them safe and ever moving forward. Hippo has no idea what's going on...he's just a cat!

The suspense, mystery, and struggle unfolds in FATHOMS!

From Joe's website...

About this project

OUR CAST

THE SCAVENGER ARKEN

WHAT'S THE TIMELINE?

Based on the animated storyboard sequence I have created, FATHOMS will be around 20 minutes long...so there is a lot to animate! I am starting full-on production as soon as Kickstarter wraps up. I will be animating through the summer and fall, then rendering, fixing things, and doing compositing in the winter. The goal is to complete the film by the end quarter one, 2012...sooner if possible! Part of the time will be involved in rendering...and a lot of the time will be involved in animating...it just takes time!

THIS IS WHAT FATHOMS WILL LOOK LIKE (FOR REALS)

Update: Joe has reached his goal, and more!  Congratulations Joe!  Can't wait to see the final product!

It's Not An Ice Cream Truck Any Longer...

Just when you thought Cazwell and his boys were done selling ice cream from their, "Ice Cream Truck," they're back selling frozen yogurt. 

Gay NYC rapper, Cazwell actually agreed to switch out the "Ice Cream" for "Yogurt" to make a commercial for the British Company, SNOG.  The treat shop sells Pure Frozen Yogurt.


Pretty cool to be able to get an endorsement deal like this. Cazwell was offered the deal back in the fall of 2010, when the video for "Ice Cream Truck" went viral on YouTube and the club scene.

The Joys of Being a Parent: Thrilling Dance by Thriller Kid at a Baseball Game

In recent weeks, I have been posting video segments on the "The Joys of Being a Parent," and today is no exception.  I bet this kid's parents were either surprised their kid could dance like this, or they're extremely proud he's so talented. Regardless, this is what being a parent is all about.

The video you're about to see was recently shot on a Jumbo-Tron at a recent Seattle Mariners game.  The boy is dancing to Michael Jackson's, "Thriller."

From you tube page:

this kid is just too fresh... thats all that can be said here. Also, the dudes screaming and stuff are not my friends haha and the swag bro swag... it was " in the momment" saying i hate the word swag but this kid for sure has it!

Isn't This The Truth? Air Hockey

Omg! Isn't this the truth? I'm ROFL at this chart, because it's so damn true!  How many times have wanted to play air hockey and you wound up having to borrow money? For me, too many to count.  And how many times have you played air hockey, scoring more for your opponent, because you slam the puck into your own goal?  For me, happens all the time!  I can keep going, but I'll let the chart make you laugh at yourself. LOL.

Movies to Watch: Iron Lady (First Teaser Trailer)

Back in February I wrote a post titled, "Margaret Thatcher's Long Lost Twin Sister Appears!"  It actually wasn't her sister, but instead Meryl Streep portraying the "Iron Lady," Britain's first woman Prime Minister.  

As I stated in my February post, she was to Britain, what Ronald Reagan was to us, a BIG F**KING MISTAKE!

Margaret Thatcher was known as the "Iron Lady," for leading a country with an Iron hand, so it was only fitting for Hollywood to make an Oscar worthy movie for her, and Streep.

Well, the first teaser trailer is out, and damn - it is downright scary!  It's like Margaret Thatcher has been reborn.

"Let's Light This Fire One More Time"

Sadly, yesterday's successful launched marked the last shuttle flight for the NASA program.  

In what spanned 3 decades, it is constant reminder of how much our country has achieved in such a short amount of time.  

I have lived through these 30 years, and the stories I will share with my nieces and nephews will be beyond measure.  We have seen, happiness, we have seen tragedy, but through it all, we stuck together as one nation.  God Bless the USA.

From the Associated Press:

"Let's light this fire one more time," Commander Christopher Ferguson said just before taking flight.

The shuttle was visible for 42 seconds before disappearing into the clouds.

It will be at least three years - possibly five or more - before astronauts are launched again from U.S. soil, and so this final journey of the shuttle era packed in crowds and roused emotions on a scale not seen since the Apollo moon shots. NASA has set of long-term goal of flying to an asteroid and eventually Mars.

"Take a deep breath. Enjoy a little time here with your families again. But we've got a lot of work to do. We've got another program that we've got to get under way," NASA Administrator Charles Bolden told the launch control team after Atlantis reached orbit. He added: "We know what we're doing. We know how to get there. We've just got to convince everybody else that we know what we're doing."
