You know those really, really annoying “male enhancement” commercials that have been running for so long that you wonder how the heck they haven’t been yanked off the air by now? Well, it seems that the company, and the CEO, behind them is being bent over by the courts.

The parent company of Enzyte has been been found guilty, and the CEO faces up to 20 years in prison.

Judge Spiegel maintained that Warshak and other chief executives engaged in fraud, money laundering and deceptively promoted bogus claims about the product’s effectiveness. The fraud was so widespread that it “tainted almost every dollar the company earned during its most profitable years” so federal prosecutors believe the company should have to give up almost all of its revenue.

Everything about Nelly Furtado’s Promiscuous video is inappropriate for small children, teens, adults, and probably farm animals. Perhaps that is why it’s already been viewed over 27 million times!

I will say that once you start watching it, it’s hard to stop. The cinematography is actually pretty engaging, there are hot chicks, and the rest is kind of like watching a train wreck. Have fun.

I’d have to say that Tommy Boy remains my most quoted movie of all time. Sure, I pull out Office Space a lot, but I still have to keep coming back to the well with Tommy Boy quotes.

So, for those of you who haven’t seen it (may God have mercy on your soul) I’ve assembled the best stuff I could find from the movie right here for your viewing pleasure. And for those of you who have seen it, did you eat a lot of paint chips as a kid?

Those folks down in Chili were treated to some special morning entertainment when one woman, bored with the normal train ride, decided to do some pole dancing!

Of course, she was only able to get away with it for about a weeks worth of journeys before the police caught on to her “routine” and put an end to it. I can only say that this must have been a very unpopular move with the men on the train who most likely found the morning ride to be stimulating.

Anyway, one weeks worth of entertaining people was all it took to put this lady in the global spotlight. So she’ll probably get her own reality TV show now or something.

I love flames! And I love overly complex machinery! So imagine my joy when I came across this overly complicated flame-powered Rube Goldberg machine!

It reminds me of a movie line from Tommy Boy:

“I swear I’ve seen a lot of stuff in my life. But that… was… awesome!”

Just imagine. It’s 1975 and Evil Knievel has already stolen all of your best ideas for crazy ways you can damage your own frail little body. No matter! You are pimping your best Tom Selleck look - and you’ve got a Lincoln Continental! What else could you possibly need?!?

Wait! I know! How about if we strap a rocket onto the back of the Lincoln and attempt to jump it across a 1 mile wide river! Yeah, that’s the ticket!

So what if Evil couldn’t even make it 300 feet across some creek, you’re going to get up to 88 miles per hour, and you have this great idea for a flux capacitor! Good luck!

I know that like 10 billion people eat Ramen noodles every day, but I guarantee no one takes the route of preparing them that these folks took on this Japanese game show.

It was apparently a Rube Goldberg competition and they used everything from bowling balls to marbles and included both flames and water. This machine goes on for about 5 minutes and manages to do nothing more than pour some hot water over a package of noodles.

Awesome.

I’m sure Hrafn would do it, but would you trust this machine with your life? Elie said he wouldn’t do it for $10 million, but frankly I’d do it for like $10,000.

Of course, anyone standing around nearby would need to be wearing a raincoat because I’d be blowing chunks all over the crowd standing by to watch!

People ask me for advice nearly every day of my life. And I’d say that 95% of the time I have to give vague answers like “…in most cases…”, or “…usually…”. But every once in a while I’m able to hand out some advice that I feel is absolute. This is the best kind of advice, and Baz Luhrmann dished out some of this advice back in 1999 with the release of Everybody’s Free to Wear Sunscreen.

“Wear Sunscreen” or the “Sunscreen Speech” are the common names of an essay actually called “Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young” written by Mary Schmich and published in the Chicago Tribune as a column in 1997.

As we each go off this fine Monday to begin the work week I just thought it might be nice to take a look at someone with a legitimately hard job.

Here is a lady, filmed in Germany, who rides around doing crazy bicycle stunts all day. So the next time you’re feeling a little overworked and stressed out, just think about this lady standing on the seat of her bike while riding circles in front of an auditorium full of people.

And incidentally, at first I was thinking that this must be some sort of weighted bicycle in order to have such great balance, but if you just watch how quickly she manipulates the bike you quickly realize that this is just an ordinary bike. Fascinating!

Man I love this song. George Thorogood is one of the greatest rockers of all time, and this is one of the greatest songs of all time!

I wish I was cool enough that the head nurse would have told the other nurses I was bad to the bone when I was born. Alas, I’m pretty sure that the only thing I got, was slapped on the ass!

The Dillon M134D Gatling Gun is the finest small caliber, defense suppression weapon available. It is a six barreled, electrically driven machine gun in service with the US and Allied Armed Forces.

Here is Richard “Mack” Machowicz from The Discovery Channel’s show Future Weapons giving the run down on the fastest gun on the planet. 3,000 rounds per minute is an awesome weapon!
