People of Wal-Mart: Brand New Site Catches Those Who Can Only Be Caught in America

seth — Thu, 17 Sep 2009 06:30:38 +0000

Stores like Wal-Mart, Target and Meijer attract a wide-range of individuals, some of whom wear stunning outfits, bringing one to ponder how they got to where they are and what they consider when dressing themselves. A brand new website – peopleofwalmart.com – displays the best of the best in down-home fashion and nuttiness that really can only be found in the states. From Tony the Tiger to shopping goats, from Wal-Mart weddings to hog-tied naked guys, I laughed for an hour straight (partly due to the absolutely hillarious captions they’ve included for each photo).

Cat Slides into Carton, Gets Stuck, Slides Again

Alright, I’m not a fan of pets doing cutie things, but I laughed out loud several times while watching this cat try to slide into tube-shaped cartons. The way his back legs feather out on the floor like a baseball player sliding into home plate as he tries to squeeze into two cartons at once…makes me wanna have a pet again.

This hive of honeybees lifts a laptop covered with honey into the air and flys around (hovers actually).

MacGyver Chef: Concoct a Meal in a Coffee Maker

seth — Fri, 28 Aug 2009 07:23:22 +0000

They’re calling him “MacGyver Chef.” Gizmodo’s Dan Nosowitz is attempting to cook ordinary meals in not-so-ordinary appliances – ie all meals are prepared without an oven/range. Poached chicken and couscous in a coffee maker? MacGyver Chef did it, but unfortunately his dishwasher steamed salmon with cilantro sauce didn’t come out so well. How about a vegetarian option, MacGyver Chef?

Dana Gould Interviews Health Care Reform Opponents Comparing Hitler’s 3rd Reich to Obama Policies; Remote Area Medical Provides Free Care to the 3rd World, and Americans

This would be hillarious if the people being interviewed weren’t serious. They are so serious, in fact, that its absolutely terrifying. Please, after handling the health care issue, work on education reform because no American should be this blatantly ignorant.

On a positive note, my mom just told me about Remote Area Medical, a group of doctors providing free health care in destitute regions of the world. Their newest challenge: American inner-cities & low-to-no income families!

Man Avoids Missing Flight, Calls in Bomb Threat to Airport

seth — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 13:01:12 +0000

A Delhi man, stuck in traffic and scared he was going to miss his flight, realized that in order to delay the plane long enough for him to reach the airport, he would have to call in a bomb threat. Apparently he didn’t realize that such calls from cell phones are easily traceable, or that those persons in close proximity (ie his taxi driver) can overhear what’s being said.

The Best Worst Movie of All Time – Troll 2 Documentary

seth — Mon, 03 Aug 2009 06:00:10 +0000

Zapping thru the channels back in 1994, friends and I joyfully discovered Troll 2, which has since that moment been the worst movie I’ve ever seen. Though the costumes were horrible, the dialogue stunk and the acting was painful to watch, this movie still had something that kept us glued to the set. I even ordered the DVD a couple of years ago remembering how bad (hillariously good) the movie had been.

I guess my friends and I weren’t the only ones who found this movie delightful despite its negation of quality. A documentary film, Best Worst Movie, has just been produced. And surprisingly, it seems to be drawing huge crowds. Maybe this really wasn’t the “worst film of all time” as IMDB claimed…

Video of the North Korean Children’s Parade featuring 18,000 children or more

Nerds — Tue, 16 Jan 2007 14:14:37 +0000

Unreal, that’s all I can think of. The North Korean Children’s parade, featuring more than 18,000 children has to be seen to believed. 2000-3000 children are upfront, performing extremely intricate gymnastics routines, while 15,000 or more children stand behind a massive set of cue cards (no that’s not a giant screen!), switching them out perfectly in sync with the routine occurring in front of them. This is absolutely stunning and frightening all in one, I loathe thinking about what the consequences are for holding up the wrong cue card or falling during a somersault.

Mike Tyson and Bobby Brown dressed as vampires singing Monster Mash

I wish I were lying. Somehow, Bobby Brown and Mike Tyson were allowed to dress up as vampires and sing the epic classic, “Monster Mash” on national television. What distorted alternate reality have I stumbled into?

Watch in awe after the jump..
