Fame whore to Facebook whore: A day in the life of…(4/22)

1 – It does seem you can push the envelope too far, at least when you’re attending an Ivy League school. The Yale student made infamous by her claim to have done her senior art project by artificially inseminating herself, then taking all-natural supplements to force homegrown abortions, has now been told by the authorities of the University that her project will not be shown under any circumstances unless she comes forward to admit that it is a hoax. If this girl wanted to spur discussion, she’s done it, but I think she missed the mark since most of the talking is about how unethical and retarded she is. Whoops.[via Perez]

2 – Time for the comedy crush to set in. Amy Poehler talks to Letterman about peeping window washers and their disdain for “her work”. [via Defamer]

3 – Honestly, this is exactly what happens when I try to grow a beard. I was just not meant to be an English professor, Mountain dweller or Harley bike rider. [via Garfield Minus Garfield]

4 – Some people talk about becoming a parent in poetic terms like, “It felt like a baby just fell into my arms.” Well, this postal carrier happens to be a tad bit more literal minded, since a baby really did fall into her arms out a second story window. [via CNN]

5 – Are you sitting there wondering, “Man, I want to play Rock Band, but I can’t choose which instrument to play. What oh what can I do?” Worry no more, this t-shirt named Rocktopus shows you the way to the promised land of solo Rock Band bliss. [via iloveyourshirt]

6 – As humorous as this is, this video showing the current Democratic race as a running montage of scenes from the Rocky films actually still ends up being inspirational. I think Obama should pick it up and use it today in the PA primary. Time for Hillary to go down for the count. [via GorillaMask via MilkandCookies]

7 – Ever wanted to make a fake commercial and get it played on the big screen? Well, Zack Snyder is giving you the chance to do that. The winners of this contest will get their commercials played on the TV screens in the background of his new movie, The Watchmen. [via ComingSoon]

8 – I always wondered what vampire hunters would hunt if there were no vampires around. Now I know (and that’s just half the battle…). [via CollegeHumor]

9 – When the Presidential candidates start pandering to the professional wrestling voting block, not only have you jumped the shark, but you’ve yanked it out of the water, punched it in the nose and forced it to watch reruns of Family Matters for three days in a row. None of those are nice things to do. [via Starpulse]

10 – This is not a link or a tidbit of pop culture phenomenon, this is a warning. Facebook is a drug. There, i’ve said it. One step down, eleven more to go…

Daily Musings 3/14

1 – This parody of the creation of early 80’s video games is pretty spot on. I almost thought I was watching a documentary instead of a spoof. Best line: “Oh f*ck, she’s not even there. I’m totally freakin’ out, man.” [via GorillaMask via Cracked]

2 – This is the latest video from a hilariously disturbed team of people. I have already ordered 9 cases of Rawberry, so everyone in the lower California area, be warned. [via TCritic]

3 – Some people are not letting Marion Cottilard off the hook for her 9/11 conspiracy comments. Now one of those jeering voices is asking for her to be stripped of her Oscar saying:

“Marion Cotillard proves to be just another idiot lefty-actor and ugly French woman trashing America”

Wow, powerful argument there from Pastor Robert Westman, although let me take a few shots at debunking his argument. First, he is a Pastor and he is defending his opinion with terms like ‘idiot lefty-actor’ and ‘ugly French woman’. Where do I sign up for his church of hope and positive energy? Next, he is the leader of a family watchdog group called Options, which I can find absolutely nothing on. The lack of easy to find web information on any group instantly means they are extremists and nuts (see how I jump to conclusions about people, almost like judging someones intelligence because they are French, ironyyyyyy…). So we will all sleep well tonight knowing that our moral outrages are being well handled by the offensive and hypocritical of our great nation. [via Starpulse]

4 – If you are a sneakers fan, you might want to look into this new treasure hunt being sponsored by Nike in promotion for their new exclusive line. It’s going on in seven cities, but one of them is here in super sunny Los Angeles, so get your cell phone cameras out and put on your Indiana Jones hat. It’s time to hunt the elusive Kicks of Destiny. [via Josh Spear]

5 – Jim Carrey took on yet another role the other night while promoting his new movie, Horton Hears a Who?. He showed up to American Idol dressed as an elephant and then posed in the waiting area as if he was one of the twelve finalists. I can honestly say this is one of the only times I wished I has seen that show. [via Starpulse]

6 – This kindly older couple, Fred and Sharon, appeared all over the net a week or so ago. Here is the latest is the steady stream of creepier and creepier videos promoting their personal production company. I wonder if we can get him to produce film reviews for Sexman? It’ll be like chocolate and peanut butter, peanut butter and jelly, peanut butter and the roof of a dog’s mouth… [via FilmDrunk]

7 – Damn you Facebook for allowing yet another addicting application to be tossed at me by non-physical contact friends. Knighthood is the fantasy, ex-D&D playing, super-nerd drug of choice in the online networking world. I’m a Knight already, that’s right. Feel the power.

8 – Ever sit back and wonder how all the evil villains of the world come up with such insanely intricate plans? Flowcharts, that’s how. It the secret ingredient to all the great successes of the world. Try one for yourself. I’ll give you ten dollars if you’re not the new dictator of a small third world country by noon. [via Cracked via GorillaMask]

9 – Take The Color of Money, switch Paul Newman for Burt Reynolds, switch Tom Cruise for some newbie, switch Mary Elizabeth Masterantonio for Shannon Elizabeth, switch the game of pool for poker, take out all the incredibly good music like Werewolves of London by Warren Zevon, oh, let’s not forget switch out Martin Scorsese for anyone else. One you have made all these glaring mistakes and horrible choices, now you a new movie called Deal. Well done, people. [via FilmDrunk]

10 – Evidently today is “Pi” day. Now before you start writing in to tell me my spelling is off and gorging yourself on gooey slices of that cherry pie sitting on that nice, old lady’s windowsill, I didn’t spell anything wrong (at least not there). This is the day to celebrate the mathematical number Pi, which translates out to 3.14blahblablahblahblah forever. Those math guys need a holiday too, seriously, get up out of your cubicle and walk around for a bit. If you do, I’ll get you some pie, the real one this time. [via swissmiss]
