After the city of Boston spent the day in a mass panic (ignited by the "discovery" of a number of "suspicous devices" believed to be bombs), local and state Law Enforcement officials are in the hotseat.
Turns out the "bombs" were nothing more than a guerilla advertising campaign for The Cartoon Network's 'Aqua Teen Hunger Force.'
Enraged city and state officials today readied a legal assault against those responsible for an unconventional advertising campaign that set off fears of terrorism and shut down major roadways and subway lines for parts of the day.
For hours, police treated the signs, about 1 by 1-1/2 feet with protruding wires and batteries, as potentially dangerous until they found one in a darker area, where the cartoon character pattern was clearly visible, triggered by an absence of sunlight.
So, in other words, bomb squad and anti-terrorism units are unable to distinguish between an explosive device and a Lite Brite.
Excellent.
So, remember when I
blogged about Dan "Harry Potter" Radcliffe starring in the controversial stage production of Equus? You know, the play about a boy who is
sexually attracted to horses?
Well, the promotional photos for the play have just been released and, to be honest, they are borderline pornographic.
Avert your eyes Hermione. Here is Harry Potter as we have, quite literally, never seen him before--stark naked and most definitely not a boy wizard anymore.
Producer David Pugh said: "We had never seen him with his clothes off before. We all went 'wow.' [Director] Thea [Sharrock] went 'Oh my GOD.'
I don't know about the UK but, in America, oogling underage boys is considered Pedophilia and we WILL NOT tolerate it. We will, however, make movies where Dakota Fanning gets raped---because thats totally okay by us.
In only the third partial face transplant ever performed, surgeons gave a French man a new nose, mouth, chin and part of his cheeks.
The man was eligible for the surgery because of a genetic disease that produces tumors on nerve endings, giving him an appearance much like the man depicted in the 1980 film "The Elephant man."
His condition made it difficult to eat or speak properly, and he found that his appearance discouraged potential employers from offering him work.
If you recall, the first partial face transplant was performed on a French woman whose dog had
chewed off her face while she slept. The second, of course, was performed on
Ashlee Simpson.
Apparently North Koreans are jonesin' for some bunny meat and seem to think breeding giant bunnies is the answer to all their starvation problems.
Each of [breeder] Karl Szmolinksy's bunnies produces about seven kilograms of meat.
"One rabbit provides a filling meal for eight people," explains Mr. Szmolinsky. "There are a variety of recipes, such as rabbit roulade."
In case the idea of eating giant fluffy bunnies is somewhat disturbing to you, starvation/overpopulation expert Jonathon Swift offers an alternative:
“A young healthy child well nursed, is, at a year old, a most delicious nourishing and wholesome food, whether stewed, roasted, baked, or boiled; and I make no doubt that it will equally serve in a fricassee, or a ragout.”
NOTE:If you don't get this joke, um...well.....you're not intelligent and I pity you.
Sorry for the lack of updates. Somehow, I completely forgot about updating the blog. First Christmas got in the way (yes, I just blamed Jesus for my laziness) and then, just when I was thinking about getting back into the swing of things, the iPhone debuted and my brain melted from the sheer force of its awesomeness.
I'll try and do better.
