Frozen in Grand Central Station

A stunt on a "grand" scale. Over 200 Improv Everywhere Agents froze in place at the exact same second for five minutes in the Main Concourse of Grand Central Station. The onlooking travelers who weren't part of the act were mystified as to what was going on.


Head over to Improv Everywhere for more behind the scenes mission report and photos.

"Falsitising"

Falsitising, a NEW Word I came up with ‎the first of the year, 2008. I came up with this word thanks to the LG Rumor cell phone.

Definition:

falsitising
fals·i·tis·ing
:
The act of advertising falsely with the intent to piss us off.

LG Spreading Rumors or just Falsitising?

Looking to get a LG Rumor? Don’t expect to hook up the LG stereo Bluetooth headset with it and be satisfied. Even though there website states it’s compatible, it’s not fully compatible. Only the main reason for getting the Stereo headset is not compatible. We tried to connect the LG Bluetooth Stereo Headset HBS-200 to our LG Rumor and the phone functions work fine but pushing music does not.

We contacted LG about the problem with the Rumor and that there website says it's compatible, they said the LG Rumor will not push stereo music to the headset. We asked if an update would fix this problem and we were told “NO” that it would need a chip to push the music by Bluetooth.

So there you have it, LG is "Falsitising"! Even though there website advertises the HBS-200 LG Bluetooth Stereo Headset is compatible with the LG Rumor without any stipulation, it does not push music. What good is a stereo headset if you can't listen to music with it? It's not like I can have a three way conversation in stereo, even though, that would be kind of cool (I have this TM/patented from this day forward).

Should we start a class action lawsuit against LG for "Falsitising"?

You Lint Licker Inspirational Video

This video was the inspiration of the name of this blog but has nothing to do with this commercial. This blog is about anything I want it to be you lint licker!


This has to be the best commercial!

"The Affair” To Remember: Historically, Orbit commercials have had the brand's lovely British spokeswoman (played by Vanessa Branch) stepping into a situation where someone has a dirty mouth and saving the day by giving them a piece of gum to clean that dirty mouth. However, in the case of "The Affair," which finds a wife confronting her husband and his mistress at his office, the trio featured is rendered incapable of uttering a bad word from the start because they are already chewing Orbit gum—so they are forced to spew the kinds of goofy insults third graders might swap on the playground.

"You son of a biscuit-eating bulldog!" the wife yells at her husband as she barges into his office to have at him and the other woman, who happens to be a co-worker of his.

"What the French toast?" he responds.

"Did you think I wouldn't find out about your little doo-doo head cootie queen?" she asks.

"Who are you calling a cootie queen, you lint licker!" the other woman angrily retorts.

"Pickle you, kumquat!" the wife shouts back. The bickering continues, with the wife eventually dumping a box of car parts at her husband's feet. Turns out she put his prized convertible through the wood chipper in a fit of rage.

The Orbit spokeswoman suddenly pops up in the midst of the heated exchange. "Fabulous. New Orbit raspberry mint cleans another dirty mouth," she proclaims.

The trio stops trading barbs long enough to flash smiles at the camera, then the fighting ensues in the background as the tagline "For a good clean feeling no matter what" appears on the screen.
