Those wacky dudes at College Humor must have been as impressed/grossed-out as the rest of us when they saw Pizza Hut Dubai’s Crown Crust Pizza. The difference between them and us, is they actually sent a brave columnist to go try it and report back. “When Streeter called me to ask if I would ever [...]
I’ve been listening to an interesting podcast lately. It’s comedians talking about the biz… so it might not be for everyone but the work ethic is what really inspires me. The way that good comedians use the 140 character limitation of Twitter is so interesting. It doesn’t matter what time of day or night they [...]
The new census 2010 figures are out, and for the first time since they began tabulating family data in 1940, there are more un-wed couples in the USA than married couples. Households with husband-wife couples has now fallen below 50 percent. 48 percent to be exact. Compare that to the 1950 census, 78 percent of [...]
By now you’ve heard of Tu Pac’s holographic appearance at the recent Coachella festival. As one meme says: “Dead for 16 years – gives better performance in 5mins than most of today’s rappers that are alive.” As my astute co worker wrote on his facebook: “They’ve opened a door to a scary new reality for [...]
Here’s a great example for the Flexible Flux™ wave. This wave is where we balance what can be considered “bad stuff” with a healthy dose of “good stuff”. Burger King has announced that all of its eggs and pork will come from cage-free chickens and pigs by 2017. The impact this restaurant giant will have [...]
I’ve noticed a trend of adults getting excited over furniture that would be at home in Pee Wee’s Play House. When I see these kind of things, I automatically assume that they are just something that you forward around your social network for a chuckle. I mean this hamburger bed is super awesome but… would [...]
I just watched a trailer for a documentary that I’m really excited to see. Not only are some of my favorite male celebrities and comedians in it, but the subject matter lends itself to hilarity: Male Grooming. It’s called MANSOME – check it out here. If you took the time to watch that, you are [...]
There’s a video going around that has been re-posted by so many of my Gen X friends that I had to take a closer look. It’s part of Yahoo’s in-house Sketchy comedy series- which explains the high production values, I guess. The music video is a parody of Fun’s hit song “We Are Young”. The [...]
Some friends and I got into a conversation about “luxury” after I showed them a photo of the worlds most expensive watch. It’s worth US$5 million and is inlaid with with 1,292 diamonds – including six stones each weighing more than 3 carats. So many of my friends were incredulous. “Would you even wear it?” [...]
I got home from a shopping trip and had fun showing some friends my purchases. You gotta love a good “oooo & aaaah” when you’ve probably spent more than you should. Even though it’s definitely a “first world problem”, I will say that finding the right fit is the annoying part of the whole deal. [...]
