Things became heated down at Ground Zero this weekend, as protesters filled the streets in opposition to a mosque being built two blocks from the former World Trade Center buildings. It was intensified by those who also came to support freedom of religion and the mosque's development. Both sides of the argument later met up at the McDonald's down the street for chicken McNuggets, cheeseburgers, and plastic trophies for participating.
Well, here's a strange story: In upstate Beacon, NY, they've decided to use an old law that makes playing pinball illegal. They've shut down a retro museum in town of old pinball and arcade games. What did pinball ever do to anyone? If you'd like to play some games without any figer pointing (hopefully!), head over to our new games page. [ Boing Boing]
Next time your little Nibbles the cat is misbehaving, tell them the story of Gary L. Korkuc of Buffalo, New York. He was planning on some real strict punishment for his feline friend.
"[He] told police his black and white cat named Navarro had been 'mean' to him and he was planning to make a meal out of the animal because it was ill-tempered.
"Police rescued the cat after finding it in the Cheektowaga man's car trunk...marinating in a mixture of crushed red peppers, chili pepper, salt and oil."
Fancy feast, indeed. [ NYP]
Tired of yuppies and their bikes clogging up the streets of the fauxhemian wonderland known as Williamsburg, one brave soul has taken it upon himself to instill fear. With Krazy Glue: “If I get the right people together, we will go down Bedford Avenue at 4 am and inject every bike lock on the strip with Krazy Glue...There is a bike crisis. Every pole in the neighborhood is littered with them...These Yuppies are running the whole damn city, and I’m left to my own devices.” We're rooting for this vigilante. If you want to ride your bike on the sidewalk, move back to the suburbs. [ Brooklyn Paper]
The question remains: Is there anything autotune can't make better? Check out the original news clip of this project queen's star making turn on the Internet last week. In decades of trying, I could not come up with a better name for this gentleman than the one he was given, Antoine Dodson. He's now trying to cash in with a clothing line. This is like a Chapelle Show skit come to life.
Did you know indie rock act Arcade Fire just sold out Madison Square Garden two nights in a row? Madison Square Garden! I didn't think I could pay enough people to see these quaint folkies from Montreal. And now they're selling out MSG two nights in a row? Honestly, what is the secret no one is telling me about?
Finally, in these dark times, a candidate that speaks for us. If US just got out of a meth and whiskey bath. America. Fuck yeah! [ Turntable Lab]
Government contractor David H. Brooks, who sold the U.S. military body armor, bilked the armed forces and you, the taxpayer, out of millions. What did he get with that kind of dough? "University textbooks for his daughter, pornographic videos for his son, plastic surgery for his wife, a burial plot for his mother, prostitutes for his employees, and, for him, a $100,000 American-flag belt buckle encrusted with rubies, sapphires and diamonds." Don't worry about those prosties. They were a business expense:
"His lawyers also defended the hiring of prostitutes for employees and board members, arguing in court papers that it represented a legitimate business expense...if Mr. Brooks thought such services could motivate his employees and make them more productive."
You have to admit: The text books for his daughter were rather excessive. [ NYT]
A hamburgler got away with more than microwavable cow patties when he held up a Burger King in Canarsie yesterday. According to the New York Post:
"The gunman placed his order, then flashed a black semiautomatic gun and jumped over the counter in the fast-food joint on Rockaway Parkway near Avenue L at about 11:30 a.m. Sunday.
He snarled, 'Give me the money!' to a worker, and swiped $300 from two registers and $1,200 from the manager's office."
What, no fries with that? [ NYP]
In your latest bizarre bank robbing news, a man in Swissvale, Pennsylvania robbed a bank in a blonde wig, fake breasts and clown pants this past Saturday. The truly deceptive criminal was caught by authorities after a dye pack exploded all over his loot and he tried to steal a car with female driver in the parking lot. He is currently locked up on $230,000 bail. Is this what happens when people run away from the circus? [ Washington Post]
A man dressed as Darth Vader robbed a bank in Setauket, Long Island yesterday. Now that's using The Force for eeeeevvuuuul. Reported by the New York Post:
"All of a sudden, I saw this guy with a mask, and he was running very fast by the window," said Louie Lin, a worker at a nearby Chinese restaurant. "It was pretty crazy. He had the whole outfit on."
Michael Aloisio, who works at another nearby restaurant, also saw Vader run by.
"I thought it was pretty comical, but I guess this guy was pretty serious about needing some money," he said.
"I always liked 'Star Wars,' but I never liked Darth Vader." [ NYP]
I don't know who Steakmike is, but he hangs in his room a lot. Watch him take Van Halen's "Jump" and play the entire song--drums, guitar, synth, bass, and vocals!--all by himself. This is an impressive feat, for sure. Unfortunately, you can smell the B.O. rising from his socks, killing any chance of human contact this bedroom Mozart might have. [ Turntable Lab]
Miami? The Las Vegas of the East Coast? How boring of Lebron James. As a Knicks fan, it will be all the much sweeter to root against him. Unfortunately, his move to Miami means we'll be seeing a lot more of dude coming to wreck shop.
Have you ever thought to yourself, "Jeez, does America make anything anymore?" Well, the answer my friends is YES, indeed we do. We make sandwiches in a can. And Hot Pockets. Gawker tipped us off to a story from The New York Times about money manager Travis L. Wright, who took $145 million from Utah investors to finance his dream of canned sandwiches. If all continues to go as planned, Ronald McDonald should be president by 2012.
Lebron James is retiring from basketball and signing a 10 year deal to work for the city of Cleveland as a sanitation worker. He'll be paid in 1 billion pieces of scrap iron, copper wire, and hubcaps over the decade long contract. The superstar hoops player sounded relieved and excited to finally land on a decision: "It's great to finally realize my dream of taking out the trash--the real trash, not the Indiana Pacers'--on a daily basis. And there's no city in the world that has more than Cleveland. Although, they stopped keeping stats on Detroit a long time ago, I heard. Now fuck all y'all. I got a union meeting to get at. They're trying to kill our overtime so our pensions ain't worth shit."
Colombian agents found a World Cup trophy replica in a mail warehouse at Bogota's international airport this Friday. It was made out of nothing but cocaine!
Um, GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAALLLLLLAAAAAAAA!!! [1010 WINS]
Devo's Mark Mothersbaugh recounts smoking PCP with Michael Jackson and Andy Warhol at Studio 54:
“Michael Jackson had just finished doing the movie The Wiz and still looked like Michael Jackson back then – he had an Afro and he was still black. He passed me a joint and I thought, well OK, we don’t have marijuana in Ohio so I’ll try it.
"Minutes later Mothersbaugh found himself on the dancefloor as pillars of light were swirling around 'like weedcutters' knocking people over and cutting them up. He turned to his date in horror, only to hear her say: 'You didn’t smoke any of that angel dust did you?'” Whoops! [ Boing Boing]
In case you wanted to know what it takes to break the world record in tighty whitey wearing, here's your instructional video. This kid has some super duper parents. What a birthday party! Yaaaay! You'll completely enjoy when his legs fall asleep and they have to roll those last 20 pairs on. [ The Awl]
So let me get this straight: You waited in line for a product that will be in stores again tomorrow, the day after that, and months into the forseeable future? What are you celebrating? That you're a dipshit? Reading through other media, you would think the whole world was one Kim Jong Il joke away from exploding into a million pieces of oil farts. But, you have to wonder, if people are lining up to shovel $400 into Steve Jobs' pockets, how bad is the recession really?
