Today’s Newspaper Headline Crash And Burn
Plane Wreckage Found, Pilot Killed This is either poor headline writing, or there were some mighty fucked up people in that search party.
No Laughing Matter
This story about Mark Cassidy is funny for two reasons. He ran a comedy club and he died from an overdose of laughing gas. But the other reason it’s funny is for the following line: “A COMEDIAN died after accidentally overdosing on laughing gas while watching computer porn, an inquest heard.” So…computer porn…is that where …
Here We Go with The Ads Again
Here we go again with more slogans that caught our attention. What a mishmash this is. Every timeI see commercials for denture grip, the stuff that holds dentures in place, it says “now with less ooze!” Ug! Doesn’t that sound wonderful?

Lawn And Order, Crazy Bastards Unit
Oh man. This story about Everett Keith keeps making me laugh. I could read it several times and I’d still laugh. How many times do you get the chance to see the words “saunter”, “mosey”, “wrythe” and “pilfer” in the same story? Our drunken fool walked, no no, sauntered, into a restaurant with a cigarette …

Advertising Fails
Here are some things Steve and I have noticed in commercials that bug the hell out of us. Yeah, I think we think too much. There’s a commercial for Delsym cough syrup that says “When America coughs, America has Delsym.” So, I should take from that wording that Delsym is the name of the cough? …
Apparently Fuck, Marry, Kill Is A Credit Course Now
Who thoughtthiswould be a fine idea for a school project? Better yet, who thought it would be a fine idea to assign it to kids in grade 4? The assignment for the Grade 4 students at École Mont-Carmel in Ste-Marie-de-Kent was based on the notion that the planet was about to explode. The students had …

He’ll Get 9 Lives For This
Here comes another one of those food fight stories. This one started because of animal food, but I figure that counts. Ian D. Johnson, 33, has appeared in court on a charge of felony assault witha weapon after an argument with his father about contributing to the household turned into an argument over a 60-cent …
