Quick! Does anyone have a sharp object that I can put through my eye!? So I happened to be watching Fox news tonight…mostly because it was already buffered on the tivo after FG and american dad and partially because the “we’ll scare the crap out of you” news stories make me laugh.
One of the stories tonight was about “Wal-Mart singles night” in roanoke, virginia. Supposedly, “singles” enter the gates of hell and tie a red ribbon on their cart to signify that they’re “available”. Wal-fart also sets up “flirting areas” where people can mingle. hahahahahahah, I’m not even kidding. I can’t stop laughing about it. According to fox, Wal-fart’s American owners didn’t like the idea (it originally started in Germany) and decided to shut it down. hahahahahah, yet another reason to NEVER EVER EVER visit that screaming-child, meth-head, white trash filled POS store. Un-freakin-believable!

Guy uses Google Maps in court to beat traffic ticket
Heartwarming story of a clever lad named Edwin who beat a traffic
ticket using Google Maps. The officer who issued the ticket told the
judge that Edwin was driving down a one way street when he supposedly
ran a red light. Edwin told the judge this wasn’t correct — it was a
two-way street — and pulled out his laptop, found a faint but usable
WiFi connection, and loaded the Google Map page of the intersection
where the alleged violation occurred. “The judge said that due to lack
of memory of the officer she will have to dismiss the violation.” (Of
course, Edwin will now probably be locked away for stealing precious Internet resources by using the unsecured WiFi connection.)Link

since I’m fresh out of originality, here’s another reblog from hack-a-day.
If I had some more motivation, maybe I’d do this hack. It is _really_ hard to hide when you’re trying to use one of these things.
My best experience with my tv-b-gone was when Honl and I went to Champs one night. It was trivia night and we hit about 6 tv’s in a semi-circle around where we were sitting. The announcer stopped trivia “so we can figure out why all these TVs are turning off.” An employee then walked around with a chair and turned all the TVs back on. A few minutes later the accouncer said “did someone bring in a universal remote to turn off all the TVs or something!?” Needless to say, it was quite difficult to hold back the laughter at that point.
My second best experience was one night at the Leaning Tower of Pizza. I was there with Gus on a Monday or Tuesday night and there was professional wrestling on the TV. Now usually, the Leaning Tower is a pretty hip place to be so I wouldn’t expect wrestling to be playing on the TV. However, everyone in the bar seemed to be glued to the tele. There were a couple of hicks and a couple of middle-eastern guys on the program arguing about terrorism, Islam, Christianity, etc. As could be expected, it was complete rubbish. I was getting super upset that people were actually watching that crap so I hit the TV across the way. A riot nearly erupted but the bartender turned it back on immediately. Something strange was going on here….but I couldn’t put my finger on it. Finally, I think our waitress overheard my not-so-quiet remark along the lines of “SERIUOSLY, WHY ARE WE WATCHING THIS!?” and cleared things up by saying “the owner’s son is the guy on the right”, speaking about one of the wrestling performers….ooops!
