So there’s a great video that’s made the rounds at work.
We actually stumbled upon Hastily Made Cleveland Tourism Video: 2nd Attempt before finding the original video, so that’s how they’re presented here: second one first, first one second.
“Buy a house for the price of a VCR”
“Our main export is crippling depression”

If you’re still more than a little disappointed by the ending to last season’s 24 on FOX, have no fear because Kiefer Sutherland’s next big project already launched in an attempt to help millions.
(NOTE: Let me just say, that I’ve had the link to this Cracked.com article sitting in my inbox since they posted the piece on May 12, 2009.)
Kiefer Sutherland’s Conflict Resolution presentation had me rolling on the floor laughing.
One of my favorite slides has to be “Root causes of conflicts,” though “How many weapons did you see?” prompted a riotous laugh.
The funniest part is how comprehensive the PowerPoint presentation is; you could probably give this at work and not get funny looks for at least a few slides.
See the whole presentation on Cracked.com.
I had to literally laugh out loud when I watched this video.

When you think of The Onion, no doubt fake interviews and hilarious headlines come to mind.
Well, the Onion News Network has now been around for a while, poking fun at television news operations across the country the same way The Onion makes fun of newspapers.
This is the story that could put all of us out of business, watch out for the crude language.

Hilarious and true…
In news, sometimes the most important or interesting elements of a story are hidden in the middle or even near the end, a practice known as burying the lede. But Lehigh Valley Live had no such problems with this story I came across. The piece was full of amazing content, I absorbed every word.
Their headline didn’t leave a lot to the imagination, though:
Perhaps a more appropriate headline would have been:
That could have been their highest rated story of all time!
Oh, and there’s no lying or misleading being done in my version of the title.
The bulk of the story comes down to the fact ShopRite supermarket denied a family’s request to make a birthday cake for their 3-year old son. The priceless part is what ShopRite’s public response was:
“We believe the request … to inscribe a birthday wish to Adolf Hitler is inappropriate,” said Karen Meleta, a ShopRite spokeswoman.
I think they could have taken a stronger approach, and not lost any (or much) business. I mean, are there a lot of people out there who think it is appropriate to wish Hitler a happy birthday? And who would go to a discount grocery store to get a cake for him? I’d want to make sure I really knew the person behind the counter before I asked them to icing that onto a sheet cake.
I guess the only way they could have lost more business is if there are more families in their area who have named their children in a fashion similar to this couple:

The best holiday gift this season. Students turn in a test with ridiculously wrong answers? Subordinate can’t tell the difference between “they’re,” “there” and “their?” Friend got drunk, passed out on your couch and is now begging to how something written on him? Then this is the gift for you. Only to be topped by a “STFU” stamp. Link: WTF Stamp

I was digging through old bookmarks and *.txt files and came across these four things. I thought they’d be worth a second look for me, and a good time-killer for you.
The Movie Showtimes Map is extremely helpful if you know what movie you want to see, but have no idea where it’s playing near you. Just type in the ZIP code or address where you are, then select a movie from the list on the left.
Here’s a link to the Indianapolis map.
Pretty self-explanatory. If you’re a fan of Fail Blog you’ve no doubt already seen this. If not, enjoy.
This is really old, well September-old, but very good. It’s basically a clip reel of the then-upcoming 2008 season on ABC, set to Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.
If you’ve ever worked in the News or Promotions/Creative Services department at a television station you’ll see this is reality, not just comedy. This is really how my job goes some days…

A co-worker forwarded this my way the other day, and I’ve found myself giggling about the “Boston Market” line quite frequently.

They need to check their map
Last time I looked, Google Maps has that distance as 147 miles. But 10 miles is a decent estimate, I guess.
I’m glad I decided to keep my distance from this mayonnaise container I found in the fridge. I almost put it on my delicious (and pricey) Soppressata sandwich. That could have been a disaster.
I found the gem you see below, while scouring the Best Buy website as I shop for a new TV. There’s nothing wrong with the current television, per se, but it kind of looks like a toy in @mmagnolia22’s entertainment center.
Unfortunately, I don’t think the experts at BestBuy.com will be much help if I have a question.
Just ONE question?! I’m actually shocked. And it was a decent question, too.
