The Luke Johnson Phone Experiment

This guy, Luke Johnson, started the idea of the phone experiment in early January (i'm sure there might be someone out there who did it before Luke Johnson)...he's way ahead of you Ryan...be a little more creative next time when you give into you impulses.

The kid with some weird ideas!

So this is the video of the kid giving out his phone number on youtube in order to make a difference in the world by being a listener to people who need to talk. Perhaps his parents are divorced (he said in an interview that his mom doesn't know of this phone thing because she lives in conneticut)...that explains why he wants to be someone's listener.

But come on, this isn't very original...did you get that idea after watching that lame movie with the dude from the oc and meg ryan? Or did you steal this idea from Luke Johnson? Dude, you need to get a real job...if you like to help people, why don't you work for some non-profit organization. That will make a bigger difference...and saying "if you want to meet up, then we can arrange for that." Think again, you don't want to get raped or robbed by some creepy nut job.

"I need to get my drink on!"

This is great! Aside from giving the kid a beer bottle to walk out with...I think it's hilarious! Will Ferrell, you have been redeemed!

This is what we reward our kids for!

So last week there was a text message competition...and this teenager was crowned LG National Texting champion and won $25000 because she typed Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious" (yes, that's Mary Poppins) in 15 seconds. What next... college prep classes about writing in text message short hand?




And then there's this kid, Ryan Fitzgerald, in who posted a video on youtube where he gave out his phone number and has been talking to over 3,420 random people for over 36 hours. He says there's some reasoning and a moral behind what he's doing, doing for the people who need someone to talk to...kid, that's what help hot lines are for. Why hasn't this boy's parents taken away his cell phone? I know how much minutes cost beyond plan minutes, and they certainly are not cheap. Either this kid a) wants his easy 15 minutes of fame, b) wants to met Paris Hilton, Britney Spears or some other busty celebrity, or c) he has a lot of time and money to waste. If he doesn't go to school or doesn't have a job, his parents should have an intervention with him and tell him to get a life.

I feel so much better knowing she's not so perfect!

You've got to check out the portfolio of IwanexStudio, a photo re-touching company that makes stars and models look perfect, thanks to photoshop. In the portfolio section, click on a photo and when your mouse is over the picture, that's the real deal, when you're mouse is not over the picture, that's photoshop heaven. All teenage girls should be required to look at this site. I feel a little better knowing nobody really has flawlessly smooth skin and truly toned bodies.


Listen to it right now for an hour!

The only thing stopping from doing irrational things, like leave NYC right this day, hour, minute and second...is Snow Patrol's "Open Your Eyes."

You can save the Black Donnellys!

This is the last time I'm going to promote the Black Donnellys, because if you don't wake up and realize the greatness in this show...you will be like everyone else who jumps on the bandwagon too late when it's way crowded...despite the fact I gave you a free ticket a year ago (you know what I'm talking about, i.e., Muse, Lily Allen, all other trends I see early).

The Black Donnellys will not be cancelled if more people start watching the full episode online at nbc.com and download it on itunes. I'm not paying money for ipod video...but I'll watch it on nbc.com And they are streaming a new episode on nbc.com tonight (Monday, April 9) at 9pm. So if anything watch the first and second episode on nbc.com after work to wet your palette and get addicted, then tune in for the new episode at 9pm.

Come on do it for Tom Guiry... aka Scotty Smalls (the Sandlot)...aka Jimmy Donnelly (the Black Donnellys). You can't go wrong with someone from the Sandlot! I loved that movie!

Greg the Bunny: Bath Time

This is my favorite old skool Greg the Bunny...it's got a bath scene, bacon set design, warren serving a his craft on a platter of dignity, warren going off on f*ckin' tangents, "everyone loves a clown", and "F*ck you very much." Classic lines! I love it!

Hint hint, graduation present...yes i'm talking to you!
