50 Cent Casting New Film on Craigslist

// Friday, November 6th, 2009 by bhoffman

Making its way around the web today is this Craigslist ad seeking actors for a new 50 Cent film. They are casting quite a few parts. See if you can spot the typing errors below (hint: “50″ seems to be spelled correctly.)

Keep in mind, if you’re interested and you think you’ve got the goods, they are “seking maels to protry gang member.”

Perhaps Nicolas Cage Shouldn’t Have Bought All Those Snakes/Islands?

// Thursday, November 5th, 2009 by bhoffman

According to The Daily Beast, Nicolas Cage is suing his former business manager for $20 million for “sending Cage down a path toward financial ruin.”

Long story short, if Cage needs $20 million that bad, he’s in deep sh*t (20 mil is what he typically makes per movie).

And the article implies it might not be all his business manager’s fault. Because Cage was the one who bought the 12 houses, the castle in England, the estate in Germany, two Bahamian Islands (!), 50 cars, two yachts, Gulfstream jet, mini-zoo (including dogs, rare birds, snakes and lizards) and millions of dollars worth of comic books.

Best quote: “There also was a dinosaur skull that Cage purchased in 2007 for $276,000 in a heated auction with Leonardo DiCaprio.”

Free U2 Concert (If You Have Tickets and/or X-Ray Vision)

// Thursday, November 5th, 2009 by bhoffman

As BBC News is reporting, U2 is celebrating 20 years since the fall of the Berlin Wall by playing a free concert in the city… and building a wall around the event so no one without tickets can see or hear it.

A Berlin Wall concert that you can’t get to because it’s blocked by a giant wall? Man, sometimes these articles just write themselves

Every cloud has a silver lining. Sure, Microsoft laid you off. But now you have more people to tell this to.

Kirstie Alley Making More ‘Kirstie Alley Is Fat’ Jokes

// Thursday, November 5th, 2009 by bhoffman

Upset they canceled the “Kirstie Alley is Fat” sitcom?

Finished with that “Kirstie Alley is Fat” book?

Well, you’re in luck: It’s time for the “Kirstie Alley is Fat” reality show.

And it’s okay to laugh… ‘cuz she’s making the jokes about herself! Yay!

Dane Cook’s ‘Top Ten Concert No-No’s’

// Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 by bhoffman

Love him or hate him, Dane Cook is wealthier and more successful than you. Also, he’s apparently a big music fan. So Spin asked him his “Top 10 Things Not To Do At a Concert.”

Did this make me laugh?  No. Did I find his advice useful?  Not really.  Did I click on it and read the whole damn thing?  Yes.

And now you probably will, too.

The “My Dog F**K My Cat” Theorem for Internet Success

// Wednesday, November 4th, 2009 by bhoffman

View counts. We all over-value them (yes, I do it as well). Well, here’s a new mathematical theorem for determining your video’s success:

A few years ago, some idiot in Italy noticed that his dog was humping his cat. Rather than acting sanely (i.e. separating the two animals), said moron grabbed his camera, uploaded the video to youtube, slapped on a brilliant title (”My Dog F**k My Cat”) and an even more brilliant description (”kuku my bisexual dog can give pleasure to my cat all day and night!! mhhhhh.. miaoooooooooooooo”)

As of this posting, 1,154,679 people have watched it.


This seems like an excellent barometer for internet achievement.

For example, last year’s Funny Or Die-produced hit “Ron Howard’s Call To Action,” featuring an all-star cast and promoted on virtually every major news network, received a very respectable 2.58 My-Dog-F**k-My-Cats.

The very funny “Drunk History Vol. 2,” featuring A-list movie star Jack Black, has thus far earned 0.63 My-Dog-F**k-My-Cats.

You get the picture. You’re welcome.

Woman Sings on Toilet, People Watch

This video is lighting up the internet. At first it made me happy. Now it makes me really sad.

Leno’s “Great Comedy Experiment” Already Falling Apart

// Monday, November 2nd, 2009 by bhoffman

As Hollywood insider Nikke Finke has pointed out, after only five weeks, Jay Leno has already gone on the offensive regarding his show’s crappy ratings/reviews. Some interesting highlights from a recent Leno interview:

  • He’s been calling the affiliates to get feedback (affiliate numbers have dropped dramatically. Not sure if Carson ever had to call WKYC in Akron to get “feedback”)
  • “The numbers seem to tell us people [who] are watching the show are staying the whole hour” (insert “Old people can’t find their remote” joke here)
  • “Would I have preferred to stay at 11:30? Yeah, sure. I would have preferred that.” (Perhaps the biggest shocker. Five weeks on the job, and Leno wants his old gig back)

And finally:

  • “I’ve never walked away from anything in my life….This is what I do. You keep plowing ahead.”

So, long story short… thirty more years of Jaywalking!
