2 out of 3 ain’t bad!

The world renowned pranksters from Improv Everywhere are organizing their annual pants-free subway ride this Saturday.  What started as a small gag in New York years ago is now a global phenomenon.  To join the Chicago version, be at the Granville CTA Red Line station at noon on Saturday.  Here are the rules:

“You can wear socks, shoes, boots, coats, gloves, shirts and hats - just no pants. (No thongs or G strings cause we want to surprise and not offend.) You pretend like you don’t know any of the other pants-less riders. You should act like it’s perfectly normal to have been waiting for the subway without your pants! Dress as you wish but try to keep in mind that the goal is to act as if you forgot your pants.”

thanks dan.

Burger King is back with another bizarre promotion, and this one asks you to cut 10 of your virtual friends to show you value a Whopper more than “fair wather web friendships.”  I think it’s a great idea to poke fun at the fact that people don’t communicate with most of their social networking friends, but I think MySpace would have been a more natural fit for this one.

From Dan B:

How does Al Gore sell a boring-ass environmental documentary to the kids? Get Matt Groening (Simpsons, Futurama) to create a trailer starring Al Gore and Bender, the beer-drinking robot. Then post it on You Tube.

Here’s linebacker Brian Cushing’s transformation:

From tittyriffic to ready for the WWE?  Something’s fishy.  The better question is how that guy on the left is the same as this high school kid:

Thanks Ross.

What the hell?  More question marks in this post?  Props to Lil Wayne for being both sober and prepared.  He had his thoughts well collected and put up with Skip Bayless pretending he knew who he was.  I also can’t argue with his statement that USC could take anyone out.
