auto-tune the news

I have yet to see auto-tune used for something better than this.

ithacurban

I was perusing the job section of Ithaca's craigslist page and found an ad recruiting staff for an Urban Outfitters that's to open in Ithaca this summer. As I understand, the only UOs in New York State are either buried in the city or in the Galleria Mall in Buffalo. I had never been to one before last month at the Mall of America in Minnesota - I liked it very much. I even took a picture.


I did some searching to confirm the craigslist ad and found an article from the Cornell Daily Sun.

So it's true. But two things in that article caught my eye:
Allie Strauss ’11 agreed. “I think nothing better has ever happened in Ithaca,” she said.and
“The reason I liked Yale so much is because there was an Urban Outfitters right in town,” Brooke Flohr ’12 said. “Now I have no regrets left about coming to Cornell.”Either Cornell students are becoming exponentially more insane, or the CDS staff doesn't care if their articles are stuffed with just-say-anything filler quotes. Anyway, I bought a shot glass ice cube mold and a square of grass. The clothes are expensive there.

busty knockout

As anyone would, I reacted to Sarah's story with an tinge of skepticism... but it's true: Beware the Ugandan Motorboat. What is a motorboat, you ask?
The shakedown: A buxom woman applies chloroform to her chest and goes to a bar. She chats up a man, takes him to a secluded place and offers to let him perform a motorboat. The man passes out and she collects his wallet. It's almost too easy.

litigious colombians

This is bullshit: The Colombian Coffee Growers Federation wants to sue a cartoonist for at least $20 million dollars for making a joke about their stupid slogan. The offending strip:

It's called Mother Goose and Grimm by Mike Peters. This was from January 2.

delicious pringles

This is hilarious. Officially, legally, Pringles are not potatoes.
