HAHAHAlmost certainly the most relatable Muppet ever! I LOVE YOU COOKIE MONSTER!
Wish I knew that before I brought in the mail this morning… JOKING. But I’m not exactly an American sooo; Hi-Ho Silver, AWAY!
Jokes aside – Toady marks the 8th anniversary of the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon by a bunch of goofy fucking Saudi terrorists that prompted the US to invade Iraq for some reason:
Today is a day of mourning, a day for the cable news outlets to show endless footage of crying people, people falling out of skyscrapers, flowers, explosions, brown people with rocket launchers etc etc. But it is your patriotic duty to not masturbate while you’re watching any of this.
Scary story.
The women, some as young as 16, were kept confined in a villa in the Beykoz district of Istanbul and videos of them in the house were sold over the Internet.
According to reports, the organizers of the fake show placed advertisements in newspapers that called for “contestants to compete in a reality show akin to ‘Big Brother’ that will be broadcast on FX TV” and interviewed dozens of would-be contenders.
Nine were told they were chosen and made to sign a contract that stipulated that if any of the participants left before two months were up, they would have to pay a fine of 50,000 Turkish Liras. The young women were also told they would have no contact with the outside world, including their families, for the two-month period. Dreaming of becoming television stars, they accepted all the preconditions.
Cameras set up around the villa recorded every moment and naked videos of the participants were sold on the Internet.
Some of the women, realizing the scam, wanted to get out, but were prevented from doing so by the organizers. A person who stayed at the house with them warned that they would have to pay the fine if they left.
Those who tried to leave anyway found they could not because they were locked inside the villa. [TimeTurk]
Manipulating freewill is an infliction and the men responsible deserve nothing but humiliation and booty-calls from the Istanbul homies.
A 16-year-old’s parents eventually contacted the gendarmerie, notifying them that they had not seen their daughter for two months and could not reach the organizers.
Once the gendarmerie went to the address the parents provided, they were greeted by cries for help coming from inside.
This is about the only thing that could possibly convince me to play Farmville on Facebook:
B-u-t it’s already been done, by Jeff.
Movie references in things such as commercials, just make everything… Awesomer!
McHELL YEAH!!! Reading that headline made my day. I’m lov’in it. Corporate giants McUnhealthy aren’t so McTough and should McLearn to McRelax their sax every now and McThen:
McCurry restaurant owner A.M.S.P. Suppiah and wife Kanageswary pose for a photo in front of their eatery as they celebrate a court victory over U.S. fast food giant McDonald’s Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia.
“U.S. fast food giant McDonald’s lost an eight-year trademark battle to prevent local restaurant McCurry from using the ‘Mc’ prefix in a precedent-setting judgment by Malaysia’s highest court. The Federal Court ruled Tuesday that McDonald’s cannot appeal against another court’s verdict that had allowed McCurry to use ‘Mc’ in its name.
The owner says McCurry, which serves Indian food, is an abbreviation for Malaysian Chicken Curry. The ruling by a three-member panel of the Federal Court ends all legal avenues for McDonald’s to protect its name from what it said was a trademark infringement. “On the basis of unanimous decision, our view is that” McDonald’s plea to carry the case forward has no merit, said chief judge Arifin Zakaria.
“It is unfortunate that we have to dismiss the application with costs,” he said. McDonald’s will have to pay 10,000 ringgit ($2,900) to McCurry, a popular eatery in Jalan Ipoh on the edge of Kuala Lumpur’s downtown. McDonald’s lawyers refused to comment, except to say the company will abide by the judgment.”
Way To Go!

So what’s with the special logic behind this number? An ancient Greek mathematician named Pythagoras once said, that number nine in particular has many unique properties.
For example, the sum of the two-digits resulting from nine multiplied by any other single-digit number will equal nine. So 9×3=27, and 2+7=9.
Multiply nine by any two, three or four-digit number and the sums of those will also break down to nine. For example: 9×62 = 558; 5+5+8=18; 1+8=9.
Sept. 9 also happens to be the 252nd day of the year (2 + 5 +2)…
DUN DUN DUN!
Of course though, in Japanese, the word for nine is a homophone for the word for suffering, so the number is considered highly unlucky – second only to four, which sounds like death.
So many Japanese will go so far as to avoid room numbers including nine at hotels or hospitals, if the building planners haven’t already eliminated them altogether.
This diagram clearly defines the various types of losers cool cats there are. Which one are you? A dork, a geek, or are you a bonafide nerd?
My opinion may be biased, but I’d like to believe that everyone is a little of all of those now and again. Dork.
Beautiful isn’t it. But I think she looks more happy than sad, as if she was finally freed… tO kILL uS aLL!
The image of a crying face looming from an icy cliff wall was taken by Marine photographer and environmental lecturer Michael Nolan at the Svalbard archipelago in Norway.
This is a perfect example of pareidolia, “a psychological phenomenon involving a vague and random stimulus (often an image or sound) being perceived as significant.”
You can bet this image will be heavily used by environmentalists protesting against climate change.

I’m not particularly gaga over the entire Halo craze as much as I use to be, but I very much enjoy its cinematic narrative and sci-fi elements enough to not, not like it.
Halo has used live actors to promote before, and hopefully this isn’t the last time, because this trailer kicks ass in all the right places!

I love how we all find humour in some of the most strangest of things. One “thing” however, that will never change, is our ability to recognise humour in other peoples misfortune.
So at the world’s largest discount store, 24 hours a day, it’s not surprising that a multitude of diverse/weird people are attracted to its doors.
