Tell me NOW!

The other day I was watching Dr. Phil.  On a commercial break, a brief “news update” came on.  The anchor asked “what is in your fridge?” She continued “…and why you could die from eating a certain food…tune in at 9.”  I dropped the fork. 

I wonder why a news provider would make such a horrific statement with no supporting details explaining or qualifying her statement.  I imagine this problem will only get worse and the following quotes will be in a “news brief” in the near future.

“Why you might have brain cancer…tune it at 8.”

“Why the person next to you is a murderer…see you in 30 minutes.”

“Why you might die if you leave the house…see you in six hours?”

I believe the media’s intention is to leave its viewers in a perpetual state of fear. 

Thoughts?

Harlem Shake 2008?! [Abso Ridic Pt. 2]

The other day I went to a bar and saw a man do the harlem shake for three hours with no break. It was upsetting to know that he was so intent on replicating the early millenium shimmy dance.

However, I was assured to know whenever I looked to that side of the bar, this young man would be doing this pseudo crack shimmy as if his mother would be raped by a gaggle of silver back apes if he thought about stopping.

He was lonely like Farrakhan at a white-woman-pork-convention and he sweated like a hooker in church.

Has anyone else seen someone dance with such reckless abandon?

Have you ever been disappointed with a purchase?

Well I have.  The other day I bought some popular, and heavily advertised, deodorant body spray.   I made this purchase in haste since I had not fully stocked my toiletry bag  before my cross-country flight to the east coast.  I went against my better judgement and did not buy the roll-on anti-perspirant I’ve used for years, and which has served me well. 

I will never buy this deodorant body spray again.

Not only is using this stuff like getting blasted on the chest and underarm with a pressurized computer keyboard cleaner; it doesn’t work!  I finished my holiday shopping  smelling like a bag of old nickels.  Imagine my horror when I went to reach for a gift card in a popular electronics store and caught a whiff of…me! 

This deodorant body spray sure let me down.  It has led me to revert to the way of thinking which got me this far in life:

Never change, don’t try anything new, and stick to what you know…or else you will end up smelling like a three day old submarine sandwich from Trenton.
