Check out this funny episode of The Weakest Link featuring rappers.
Some of these questions were really easy. STAY IN SCHOOL KIDS!
Caught this over at banklocator. I’ve bolded my favorites.
1. If you owe someone money, always pay them back in a bar. Preferably during happy hour.
2. Always toast before doing a shot.
3. Whoever buys the shot gets the first chance to offer a toast.
4. Change your toast at least once a month.
5. Buying someone a drink is five times better than a handshake.
6. Buying a strange woman a drink is still cool. Buying all her drinks is dumb.
7. Never borrow more than one cigarette from the same person in one night.
8. When the bartender is slammed, resist the powerful urge to order a slightly-dirty, very-dry, in-and-out, super-chilled half-and-half martini with a lemon twist. Limit orders to beer, straight shots and two-part cocktails. (especially when i’m in line behind you)
9. Get the bartender’s attention with eye contact and a smile.
10. Do not make eye contact with the bartender if you do not want a drink. Read more
Conservative pundit Bob Novak, suspended indefinitely by CNN for using a profanity on the air, received some harsh criticism from another quarter today as the rapper 50 Cent said he was “offended” by Mr. Novak’s language.
At a press conference in Washington today, the platinum-selling rap artist expressed outrage at Mr. Novak’s televised outburst, saying that it represented “a troubling lowering of the standards of discourse” and a “coarsening of the culture in general.”
“I was sitting down to watch CNN with my children, as I always do,” Mr. Cent told reporters, “and when I heard Bob Novak’s remark, well, all I can say is that I was deeply, deeply offended.”
Mr. Cent was not the only member of the rap community to be outraged by Mr. Novak’s use of profanity, as thousands of rappers took to the streets of the nation’s capital today to express their anger at the foul-mouthed pundit.
The protest, led by rappers Snoop Dogg, Jay-Z and Eminem, was orchestrated to put pressure on Congress to place warning labels on pundits such as Mr. Novak to alert parents that he may blurt out an explicit remark at any moment.
As for Mr. Cent, he said that even if CNN ultimately reinstates Mr. Novak, he has no intention of watching the potty-mouthed talking head again: “From now on, the only person I feel totally safe watching is Lou Dobbs.”
Elsewhere, one day after a recess was declared in the North Korean nuclear talks, President Bush took advantage of the recess to name John Bolton President of North Korea. Source
A new study of 68,664 people from Forrester Research found that only 6% of Americans reported reading blogs.
The study, widely mentioned in the main stream media, also found that only 2% of Americans reported using RSS.
However, what was not made clear from the study results is whether the participants were actually asked if they knew what a blogs or RSS was, a problem that has been discovered previously, where many people read blogs or use RSS services (including My Yahoo!) without realizing the name of the technology they were viewing or using.
Why is this funny? Well, it seems to me that 90% (yes, i’m exaggerating this number, but it must be more than 6%) of Americans have blogs now (many having multiple blogs), so 6% reading means that either:
- A. This survey is really innacurate or
- B. No one reads your crappy blog.
