Who needs a dog when you have a growling 10-month-old? In babezilla's defense, I'm usually this aggro (and then some) before my morning cup of calm. Some freshly brewed caffeine may do this little monster some good. If that doesn't work then dare I say — diaper duty? There's just no avoiding it sometimes.
The following commercial for the Chrysler Concorde was banned from TV a few years ago. The Chrysler folks did away with the standard car-commercial spiel, amped up the sex appeal, and offended a few consumers in the process. While some didn't see the harm in a backseat sex joke, others found it completely inappropriate to use off-color humor to market a spacious family sedan. Four years later, with the rise of print ads like this and raunch reality all over TV, are we still offended by this kind of advertising ploy?
Although calling it a "pitch" might be giving it too much credit. Looks like Mariah put a lot more thought into her short shorts, platforms, and sunglasses ensemble than she did to her pitching. At least she's dispelling the notion that there's such a thing as "throwing like a girl"!
He'll Pay $5,000 for a Wife: Man Places Ad in Newspaper
Meet Charles Haeberle, a 39-year-old general manager and resident at the Lodge at Kennebunk in Maine. He's ready to get married, and prepared to give $5,000 to the mercenary woman prostitute who's prepared to take him up on his offer. (Well, actually, he will pay in installments: $400 after the fourth successful date, $1,100 at the engagement, and $3,500 at the wedding). He doesn't go to bars, couldn't meet any women at church, and got no replies after he wrote a poem, put it in a bottle and threw it into the ocean. So, the logical next step, of course, was an ad in Craigslist. Good luck, Chuck! You're gonna need it. Click here to read about the world's last true romantic.
Basset Hounds are the best. They're all depressed and lethargic looking on the outside — even when they're jumping for joy on the inside. It's an endearing quality that makes me want to run over and squeeze some life back into them. Look at Flash here. Bath time is his favorite. It leaves him feeling so fresh, clean, and pleased, he can't help but . . . sit, stare, and frown. Awww.
It may seem intuitive now, but when dial telephones first hit the scene, peeps needed a tutorial on how to use them. It was customary to have an operator do all the work up until that time, so the simple act of dialing for one's self was quite a task. The following vid was shown in movie theaters to educate the public on how to use the new self-serve telephones. It's interesting that a child was used for the demonstration. Did they already know that she was gonna grow up, become a teenager, and monopolize that phone? All. Night. Long.
Mug shot humor. Who would've thunk? Never in a million years would I have guessed there'd be so many worthwhile mug shots on the net. And by "worthwhile," I mean downright disgraceful, hilarious, and quite possibly, inspiring. Click through the slideshow for a few of my personal faves and check here for more winners.
Source Now here's one way to answer the highly subjective question: who is the best singer? The show's not over until the fat lady sings the skinny lady breaks glass.

Astaire, with his dapper good looks and command of the dance floor, was something of a "Smooth Criminal" back in the day. The man was a show stopper and scene stealer, but he's sharing the spotlight with Jacko this time around. Watch what happens when two legends meet for a remix. (Want more?

Oh, wait — wrong video. This one shows a douchebag hitting his girlfriend in the face with a pie just as she gets home from work. Why? So that it will get on the Internet, I guess. Will she really whip him with the belt she so nonchalantly removes from her jeans? There's only one way to find out. (Warning: Don't watch if foul language gets to you. The little lady has quite a mouth on her.)
