GIRL QUITS HER JOB IN 33 PICTURE E-MAILS TO HER ENTIRE OFFICE!


This is a HARDCORE way to quit a job. Not quite as hardcore as the JetBlue flight attendant, but still pretty damn entertaining.

On Monday, a woman, who's only been identified as "Jenny," quit her job as an assistant by e-mailing 33 photos to her entire office. In each photo, she's holding a whiteboard with a different message.

Her messages are all about her boss, Spencer. She calls him out for telling a client she was a "HPOA" . . . Hot Piece Of ASS . . . and that he spent almost 20 hours a week playing "Farmville" on Facebook instead of working.


Now . . . I can't provide any real journalistic proof these are real . . . and to be honest, my BS detector is going off a little bit. But I'm going to suspend disbelief, assume these ARE real, and live vicariously through Jenny for a little bit.

AMAZING BRITISH OPEN SHOT


A Spanish golfer named MIGUEL JIMENEZ had the COOLEST shot of the British Open this
weekend. He was just off the green on the 17th hole, but his ball was up against a wall.

So instead of aiming for the pin, he hit it in the OPPOSITE direction, banked it off the wall, and
made it onto the green.

Clevelanders are so worried that their beloved LeBron James is going to sign with another team that they've gathered up a bunch of local celebrities for a musical tribute a la "We Are the World." Unfortunately, this ridiculous video and song will probably do more to drive King James away.

SUPER 8 TRAILER

The trailer for J.J. ABRAMS' new movie, "Super 8", has hit the World Wide Web of Time-Wasting. (--It's the trailer that's running before "Iron Man 2".)

It's just a "teaser", so not much is revealed. But it's pretty obvious this movie involves ALIENS.

"Super 8" . . . which is being produced by STEVEN SPIELBERG . . . is due out next summer.

Remember, it's got activated carbon fabric: "the same type of fabric used by the military to protect against chemical weapons." You know, in case you're tooting mustard gas.

As Seen on TV - A tribute to doing it wrong

The objective of all infomercials is to show you, the viewer, that you need this ridiculous product because you've been "doing it all wrong." The best part of these infomercials is when they show people "doing it wrong," like the guy who uses a blanket instead of a Snuggie or the woman spending too much time to get "that salon look" instead of using a Bump-it. Someone compiled all of these "doing it wrong" segments and created a nice tribute.

STAR WARS UNCUT

Star Wars Uncut "The Escape" from Casey Pugh on Vimeo.

Here's A Scene From A "Star Wars" Remake Made By 472 Different People

A guy had random people on the Internet remake "Star Wars" 15 seconds at a time. He divided the movie into 15-second clips, had people claim up to three clips, and then had them remake the scenes however they wanted.


The result was a mash-up of Legos, lame special effects, and ridiculous costumes. But it follows the script exactly. Here's a four-and-a-half minute excerpt.

IN HONOR OF 420!

Today is April 20th, or "4-20," as it's known and celebrated by pot smokers. A few years ago, one hardcore 4-20 observer made his way to Contestants Row on The Price Is Right and bid $420 on every item.
Some facts about 4-20, courtesy of About.com:
It's not the number of a bill in Congress to legalize marijuana.
It's not the number of chemical compounds in marijuana.
It began with a small group of stoners at a high school in California in the '70s.

Your loved one's pictures and details would be included, along with those of my father Eric [killed in World War Two], in my upcoming show The Wall as an act of remembrance. The ''Fallen Loved One' does not have to have been a soldier. Civilian deaths are equally, if not more, harrowing."

A Yankees Pitcher Blamed A Bad Game On Diarrhea

When a reporter asked him about the bad game, he managed to say four times in one minute that it was because he had diarrhea. And his teammates couldn't stop laughing.

THE FARRIS BUELLER'S DAY OFF FERRARI 250 GT IS UP FOR AUCTION!


Ferris Bueller's Day Off is a classic, and so is the 1961 Ferrari 250 G-T California that played such a huge role in the movie. Well, to be fair here, the car in the movie was actually a replica of the real thing since less than 100 were made. But regardless, the car is such a cool piece of movie memorabilia, and it can be yours for about 45-thousand dollars. The car, which still drives despite "Cameron" crashing it into the woods, is up for auction at a museum in England.

MOVIE TRAILER FOR "THE EXPENDABLES"

A trailer for the "The Expendables" is online. This is the new SYLVESTER STALLONE movie, which also features Arnold Schwarzenegger, Mickey Rourke, Jason Statham, Jet Li, Dolph Lundgren, Terry Crews and Steve Austin.

There is something about it that makes me want to see it. I think it looks like a "throw back" movie to some of the military mercenary movies of the late 70's and 80's.

DID AN ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DO "SCARFACE" AS A PLAY?

There's a video online of elementary school kids doing "Scarface" as a play, and it's pretty messed up.

They say "fudge" instead of the F-word, but they talk about drugs and murder, and re-enact the violence with toy guns.

The little kid playing 'Tony' even has a big pile of popcorn on his desk, just like the mountain of coke AL PACINO had in the movie.

But it's not a real play. It was made in Los Angeles sometime in the last few weeks buy a guy named Marc Klasfeld, a music video director who did videos for Lady Gaga and Adam Lambert.

It's kind of funny, but it seems wrong to having little kids act out violent adult material just to make a viral video. Or am I over-reacting?

YOU CAN DO BETTER!


There's a new website that can answer one of the biggest questions in every relationship: Are you WAY TOO GOOD LOOKING to be with your boyfriend or girlfriend?

The site is called CanDoBetter.com, and the concept is pretty simple: Anyone can upload a picture of themselves and the person they're dating.

Then the masses get to take a look at the photo of the couple and vote on whether the girl can do better, the guy can do better, or if they're a perfect match. It's just like HotOrNot.com, but with couples.

The site has a social networking feature too . . . so if you think someone can do better . . . and that "better" option is YOU . . . you can contact them.

Dino Luzzi is the founder of the site. He says, quote, "We understand singles are searching for quality, not quantity, and CanDoBetter.com increases the odds of finding a suitable dating partner."

A GILLIGANS ISLAND MOVIE IS IN THE WORKS!



Welcome to another edition of MOVIES THAT SHOULD NOT BE MADE.


Yes, it's been a while since we've played this game, but it became necessary the moment Warner Brothers announced that they're making a "Gilligan's Island" movie.


That's right, "Gilligan's Island" . . . the classic sitcom that ran for a mere THREE seasons on CBS from 1964 to 1967 . . . but has NEVER STOPPED airing in repeats since.


Original creator SHERWOOD SCHWARTZ, who's 93 years old and still kicking, is one of the producers .


There's no word yet on casting, but when Schwartz was talking about doing the movie last year, he said he was interested in getting MICHAEL CERA to play Gilligan.


Production is expected to begin next year. There's no word on a release date.


And now, Here are the THREE REASONS WHY A "GILLIGAN'S ISLAND" MOVIE SHOULD NOT BE MADE:


1.) GPS, cell phones, wireless Internet: It's practically IMPOSSIBLE to get lost in 2010. And there are no uncharted tropical islands that don't have smoke monsters and polar bears on them.
2.) In this economy, do you think a farm girl like Mary Ann could afford a THREE-HOUR TOUR???
3.) "The Brady Bunch in the White House". Are we clear???

CAR AD FEATURING JOHN LENNON

Sean Lennon says the use of John Lennon's image in a commercial for Citroen automobiles was a way to keep the rock icon "in the public consciousness." Footage of John, talking about being rebellious, not nostalgic, is used in a new spot for French automaker's compact D-S-3 model that's now up on YouTube.

The younger Lennon said on Twitter that his mother, Yoko Ono, "did not do it for money... It's just hard to find new ways to keep dad in the new world. Not many things as effective as T-V."

A Woman Sold Her Son's Old Nintendo On eBay For $13,105


If you still have some old toys lying around, it might be worth your while to look at what you've got in the attic or basement. Here's why . . .

--Recently, an unidentified woman put her son's old Nintendo up for sale on eBay, along with five original games:

--"Major League Baseball"

--"Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 2"

--"Super Mario 3"

--"Super Mario Brothers / Duck Hunt"

--And an extremely rare game called "Family & Fitness: Stadium Events", which was originally marketed for something called the Family Fun Fitness pad, a precursor to the Power pad.

--Not only was the woman able to sell the old Nintendo, she managed to scam some geek out of $13,105 because the "Stadium Events" game is that rare.

There's A New Keyboard That Has One Button For Common Internet Acronyms Like "LOL" And "L8R"


The reason people started using acronyms like ROFL, IMHO, and TTYL is because it's quicker and easier than typing out the actual words. Put another way, it's because people are LAZY.

(--If you're living in the stone age and don't know what the abbreviations above stand for, they're "Rolling On the Floor Laughing," "In My Humble Opinion," and "Talk To You Later.")

--Now, a company called Kotaku has taken laziness to a whole new level by developing a new keyboard called the Fast Finger, which has a single button for the most common Internet acronyms and abbreviations.

"24" COMES TO THE BIG SCREEN!


Variety is reporting that Jack Bauer’s big screen debut is now officially on the clock. Twentieth Century Fox’s film division is scooping up its hit TV series, “24” starring Kiefer Sutherland as the no-nonsense enemy to terrorists everywhere, and gunning to spin it off into a potential feature film franchise.

Screenwriter Bill Ray (”State of Play”) is maneuvering to send Bauer to Europe, and has been endorsed by Sutherland, according to intelligence reports. It could take a long time, however, for “24″ to go into production, since the producers and cast are currently filming the eighth season of the show, and a ninth season is still a possibility. Fox insiders told Variety that a decision on renewing “24″ for another season could be based on ratings out this week.

AMATEUR VIDEO OF THE CHALLANDER EXPLOSION

On a chilly January morning 24 years ago, Corydon optometrist Jack Moss raised his new video camera to the sky over central Florida and captured one of the darkest moments in American space exploration – the explosion of the shuttle Challenger.In the videotape, a stream of white smoke behind the climbing shuttle shoots into view – but Moss, his wife and a neighbor noticed immediately that something was amiss when the channel separated into two streams.“That’s trouble of some kind,” Moss can be heard saying. “That didn’t look right.”Moments later, someone is heard telling Moss that the Challenger had blown up.From Louisville Courier Journal

BANNED SUPER BOWL TV COMMERCIAL

C-B-S has rejected an ad from a gay dating site, ManCrunch.com. T-M-Z reports that the company wanted the spot to run during the Super Bowl, but C-B-S refused, saying it is "not within the network's broadcast standards for Super Bowl Sunday."

I think the commercial is pretty funny....

JOE WALSH FOR CONGRESS?


Joe Walsh is running for Congress in Illinois, but it's not the Eagles guitarist. However, the candidate is using a re-recording of a Walsh song in his campaign, which is not sitting well with the guitarist.

Walsh the candidate has taken "Walk Away," a song the guitarist recorded with his pre-Eagles band, The James Gang, and redubbed it "Lead the Way." This led to the guitarist's lawyer firing off a cease-and-desist letter, which in part says, "You can't use someone else's song for your political campaign promotions unless you get permission from the owner of the copyright of the song. As far as we can tell, you didn't do that. Maybe you got so busy with the campaign that you just forgot. This is not to say you're not allowed to write silly lyrics, you just have to write them to your own music. Now, I know why you used Joe's music -- it's undoubtedly because it's a lot better than any music you or your staff could have written. But that's the point. Since Joe writes better songs than you do, the Copyright Act rewards him by letting him decide who gets to use the songs he writes."

In closing, the lawyer, Peter Paterno writes, "Given that your name is Joe Walsh, I'd think you'd want to be extra careful about using Joe's music in case the public might think that Joe is endorsing your campaign, or God forbid, is you. Or maybe you intended that. But you shouldn't have."

NOW I KNOW WHAT TO DO FOR MY WIFE ON HER BIRTHDAY!

Nothing says "Happy birthday, I love you" quite like 120-thousand pounds of manure. An Iowa man used the stinky cow dung to spell out the message to his wife. His wife was, of course, touched (who wouldn't be?) and is planning something even better for her husband's birthday.
