Black Friday Stampede

Black Friday is upon us and already the insane deals out there are making people act crazy. A worker at a Walmart in Long Island, NY was trampled to death after hundreds of people smashed through the entrance. A woman also miscarried after getting caught up in the ensuing rage. Says Walmart employee Jimmy Overby:

“He was bum-rushed by 200 people,” said Jimmy Overby, 43, a co-worker. “They took the doors off the hinges. He was trampled and killed in front of me. They took me down too…I literally had to fight people off my back.”

Jesus Christ. This is why I don’t do Black Friday and pony up the extra ten bucks for a video game.

Myspace Drinks The DAP Kool-Aid

Who does Chris DeWolfe, CEO of MySpace.com, think he is? Michael Arrington of TechCrunch? Because he certainly doesn’t think he’s the CEO of MySpace. If he did, he wouldn’t have come up with the crazy notion that MySpace could compete in what is essentially Apple’s market of portable media players. Seriously, a MySpace-branded portable media player? Are you nuts?

According to Reuters, DeWolfe is only thinking about it. Let’s hope this idea remains a thought never to be realized, lest it joins the ranks of the Zune all the way at the bottom. If Microsoft can’t compete, what makes MySpace think it can? Clearly, it’s the Kool-Aid.

Crazy Waterfall

I don’t know anything about this video and I can’t read Japanese but this video shows some waterfall device shooting out dolphins, letters and all kinds of crazy shit with water jets. Enjoy.

A New Definition for Tranny: Transformer Love Becomes Transformer Heartache

There is no way of knowing whether a dude or a chick wrote in this confessional to Mr. Know-It-All (a question-and-answer syndication in Singapore,) and frankly, it doesn’t matter. Whoever it is, they are actually sexually obsessed with Transformers.

They describe a problem they’ve been having where they’ll stare at their car for hours, hoping it will transform.They call themselves “More Than Meets The Eye”, and they’ve even gone as far as quitting their job because of their fear that they’ll miss their car’s transformation. My advice? Seek the care of a professional physician. And fast!
