It is Now Illegal to be Fat in Japan
33′ waistline is the max. Sorry Kareem, you don’t make the cut.
Thanks to Josh for the video!
Old White Airline Passenger Turns Into Young Asian Man Mid-Flight
A really old white man boarded the plane, a young asian exited the plane. CNN provided this info:
“Information was received from Air Canada Corporate Security regarding a possible imposter on a flight originating from Hong Kong,” the alert says. “The passenger in question was observed at the beginning of the flight to be an elderly Caucasian male who appeared to have young looking hands. During the flight the subject attended the washroom and emerged an Asian looking male that appeared to be in his early 20s.”
After landing in Canada, Border Services Officers (BSOs) escorted the man off the plane where he “proceeded to make a claim for refugee protection,” the alert says.
I need to get my hands on that old man mask ASAP.
Real Life Mario Kart
A bike lane running across Portland’s N. Williams Ave has been transformed into an IRL Mario Kart track by a fun-loving Stumphead who adorned it with the game’s signature bananas, mushrooms, and stars. Mario Kart and GoldenEye are still the 2 best multiplayer games of all-time.
What is the best 10 second video on YouTube?
Send ’em on in. Here’s one I stumbled on today.
Stop. Hammer Time!
This is a perfect video for a Monday. Work sucks, but you get to spend 3 minutes watching some soft-ass reporter fail in just about every way possible.
It’s hilarious when he’s asks the guy “What’s going on here?” Kilt ’em.
Another Classic News Blooper
I understand that you “talk” for a living,” but 95% of the time you are reading straight from a teleprompter. Who the hell would ever say the word “penis” on-air?

Hallelujah hollaback.
Antarctic Glacier’s Blood-Red Waterfall
My buddy Greg posted this on Facebook earlier today. No, this is not the blood of thousands of clubbed seals.
Roughly 2 million years ago, the Taylor Glacier sealed beneath it a small body of water which contained an ancient community of microbes. Trapped below a thick layer of ice, they have remained there ever since, isolated inside a natural time capsule. Evolving independently of the rest of the living world, these microbes exist without heat, light, or oxygen, and are essentially the definition of “primordial ooze.” The trapped lake has very high salinity and is rich in iron, which gives the waterfall its red color. A fissure in the glacier allows the subglacial lake to flow out, forming the falls without contaminating the ecosystem within.
Meet Grits
Grits (a.k.a. The Bill-O-Matic, The Coventry Crusader, The Slasher, The Notorious U.B.G.) in action on January 24th at around 9PM in Cleveland Heights, Ohio. Fighting crime, one punk at a time! He slices, he dices……
At about the 1-minute mark, notice how the song “Bad To The Bone” starts playing over the convenience store speakers, just before Grits goes to work. That’s not editing. That’s an awesome coincidence.
If you just want the good part, skip to the 1:30 mark. I’m pretty sure this is going to be Wes in about 10 years.
Dude Arrested for Lighting Cigarette on Olympic Torch
From Wikipedia- “The Olympic Flame or Olympic Torch is a symbol of the Olympic Games.[1] Commemorating the theft of fire from the Greek god Zeus by Prometheus”
It’s funny because it’s ironic.
$10 if you can guess what shitty indie band he plays bass guitar for.
Douglas Robinson Arrested 74 Times in 2 Years
I wonder if Douglas Robinson of Cincinnati, Ohio could be eligible for a Guinness World Record… He’s been arrested 74 times in the last two years. Robinson has been busted for panhandling, trespassing and resisting arrest, and is always quickly released due to overcrowding. On Monday, he received a mandatory 90 day sentence after a drug bust, but by the time that happened, he had already been sprung due to lack of jail space. On Tuesday though, he was busted for drugs again and this time he wasn’t released before sentencing. From Cincinnati.com:
“The sheriff has to prioritize,” (the county’s director of pretrial services Wendy) Niehaus said. “Is it Douglas that he keeps? Or is the person charged with aggravated robbery? That’s the bottom line…”
Hamilton County Municipal Judge Ted Berry was so shocked when he saw Robinson’s record Wednesday that he asked if it was a typographical error. It wasn’t a mistake, courtroom staff assured him. Berry set Robinson’s bond at $9,500.
The iPad
It starts at $499 for 16GB, 32GB for $599, and $699 64GB. Adding 3G costs a $130 per model, so the most expensive model (64GB / 3G) is $829. The WiFi-only model will ship in 60 days, and the 3G models will come in 90.
In a direct blow to everyone else with an unlimited data plan, AT&T has scored a deal to offer unlimited 3G data on 3G-capable versions of the iPad for $29.99 a month. A 250MB plan, meanwhile, will be available for half that at $14.99 a month. Activation can happen right on the device — no store visits or calls are necessary — and there’s no contract involved. The device is fully unlocked, so if you absolutely want to, you’re welcome to take it to any other GSM carrier of your choice.
It’s a half-inch thick and weighs just 1.5 pounds, with a 9.7-inch capacitive touchscreen IPS LCD display, and it’s running a custom 1GHz Apple “A4” chip developed by the P.A. Semi team, with a 10-hour battery life and a month of standby.
Popeye’s Runs out of Chicken
Popeyes ran out of chicken in Rochester, New York following a special on chicken. Besides the fact that this was a horrible news story to begin with, many people have felt that the story was also racist…

The News Bloopers of 2009
As 2009 draws to a close, we look back at some of the year’s most absurd, obscene, hilarious, and just plain wrong anchor bloopers.
The woman’s facial expression at :31 is AMAZING.
You Spray, You Pay
A judge in Corpus Christi, Texas, has sentenced 18 year-old Sebastian Perez to 8 years in prison with no chance of parole. The teen was charged with multiple counts of vandalism for tagging local businesses, causing around $7,300 worth of damage. He admitted to a spray-painting spree that lasted from March to August. He gave a tearful plea to 148th District Judge Marisela Saldaña for probation. Instead she had handed down the maximum two years in state jail on each count and stacked the sentences.
Are you kidding me? I understand the judge probably wanted to make an example of him, but 8 years in prison for under $8,000 worth of damage? Way to ruin his life! Why not make him clean up everything he did, and hell, make him clean up half the city! The 8 years he spends in prison will most likely turn him TOWARDS crime, not away from it!
Hopefully his family will be able to file an appeal because I don’t see a decision like this holding up.
Dead guy on balcony 4 days, neighbors mistook for “Halloween dummy”
The body of a 75-year-old LA area man who died Monday sat decomposing on his balcony for four days because his neighbors figured the corpse was part of a Halloween display. He died of a single gunshot wound to the eye.
Neighbors on the 13900 block of Bora Bora Way told Raishbrook that they noticed the body Monday “but didn’t bother calling authorities because it looked like a Halloween dummy,” he said. “The body was in plain view of the entire apartment complex [and] they all didn’t do anything,” Raishbrook said. “It’s very strange. It did look unreal, to be honest.”
Balloon Boy on CNN: “You guys said, we did it for the show.”
Hours after he worried America sick into thinking he was on a runaway balloon flying over Colorado – while he was just hiding in the attic – 6-year-old Falcon Henne, aka “Balloon Boy”, appears with his family on “Larry King Live.”
In this scene, Falcon admits that he heard his parents calling him, but declined to come out of the garage. At 0:40, he mutters, “We did this for the show.”
His dad redefined Falcon Punch later that night.
We got more bounce in Columbus.
