Sadly Another Celebrity Death Today

First Ed McMahon, then Farrah Fawcett, then Michael Jackson died. It's been a tough week to be a celebrity. All of them will be missed. R.I.P. When the news the Farrah died it was a big deal, but it seems she was quickly out-shined by Michael Jackson's death later that day.

Now Michael Jackson has been out-shined by another, and bigger, legend. Billy Mays.

"The King of Pop" then "The King of Infomercials" what the hell is going on?

The article I read said:

Tampa police said Mays was found unresponsive by his wife Sunday morning. A fire rescue crew pronounced him dead at 7:45 a.m.There were no signs of a break-in, and investigators do not suspect foul play, said Lt. Brian Dugan of the Tampa Police Department, who wouldn't answer any more questions about how Mays' body was found because of the ongoing investigation. The coroner's office expects to have an autopsy done by Monday afternoon.
The police did say that the place was extremely clean with various bottles of OxyClean and OrangeGLO around the house and he was found non-responsive but was standing up, smiling, giving the thumbs up (the picture above was shot this morning when he was found) - a true showman.
They are currently investigating Vince Offer (Shamwow guy) everyone knows he was out for Billy, and Vince is quite dangerous with that Slap-Chop weapon of his. Just kidding, but if Vince Offer was to become a infomercial serial killer I hope he would have a cool quote like, "pitch this!" or "If it doesn't say Shamwow, it's not!!" and *BANG!* your dead.

What a sad day for insomniacs everywhere. I hear there will be a huge tribute show for Billy Mays to be aired this week. It will looped from 2am-5am on the home shopping network. *Call in the first 30 min and receive a free bottle of OxyClean!
All kidding aside everyone mentioned above will be missed. R.I.P.

Dangerous Texting?


I was at a convenience store today and I saw a magazine with the headline: "Is Your Teen Sexting?" I love when the news makes up a term as if it's a common term used among teens. I've never heard someone say "Oh man! I was sexting all night!"

Parents read these articles then talk to their kids like,
"Johnny, we need to talk. Have your done sexting with the cell phone device?"
Johnny says, "No, of course not. Never."

The parents are relived but what they don't know is that Johnny left the room saying to himself "what the hell is sexting? Oh well, I wonder if Jenny, Christina, or Beatrice sent my phone those sexy photos yet?" (the last one is an elderly women - he has a fetish - but that's another story all together.)

Important Note to Parents:
Look, I joke alot on this blog, but I care about the safety of teenagers in this technological driven society. So I'm going to let parents in on some other things to watch out for when your teen is using his/or her phone.


Flexting: Taking a picture of your muscles and send it via cell phone.
Mexting: Taking pictures of tacos, or other Mexican foods, and sending via cell phone.
and


T-rexting: When a dinosaur sends a picture of himself to your cell phone.

Driving a Bus + Texting = Crash

April 30, 2009 in San Antonio, TX - A bus driver crashed into a car in front of him, while driving a bus of disabled passengers, because he took out his phone and started texting. Check out the video below, there's about 43 different angles of the crash. I wonder if the bus driver was texting the guy in front of him saying "watch out!"

I'm awesome at being current with "breaking news", I'm only 3 days behind on this story, that's terrible


Check back tomorrow when I'll let you know who won the 2009 Presidential Election!!

HERE'S THE VIDEO:

That news anchor twitters!? Don't you dare question if he's "hip and with it" or not. Texting while driving = not good. Texting while reading this blog = good!
