Video of the Day: Spend the Next 27 Minutes of Your Life Listening to Tony Soprano Curse

Emily Farris — Wed, 11 Feb 2009 17:54:00 GMT

A video editor with far too much time on his or her hands has taken it upon him or herself to compile every swear word ever uttered in all six six seasons of The Sopranos. It sounds a lot like the half hour we spend working out three days a week. And if someone can mash this up with some good classic rock and hip-hop so we don't have to waste our own breath cursing while we work out, we'd be eternally obliged and super impressed.

Boy Wages Internet Campaign To Stop Cussing, With Predictably Hilarious Results

Brian Fairbanks — Thu, 15 Jan 2009 14:44:00 GMT

Instead of an obvious career in modeling or as a child star, McKay Hatch, a 14-year-old boy in California, decided to start a high school group called "No Cussing." Their pledge caught on, quickly garnering over 100 students. When the internet campaign began, the whole country, including Dr. Phil and Good Morning America, took notice. Their message of clean speech eventually spread all over the world, and peaked recently at 10,000 members.

But then the rest of the internet, the pranksters and redditors and Farkers, decided Hatch's campaign needed some pizzazz...

Go fuck yourself.
What the fuck are you doing?
Bullshit.

These are just three of the many thousands of hate mail messages Hatch has received since the word got out. Pizzas will arrive at his house at all hours, the phone rings all night long with prank callers. Best yet, the porn magazines consistently fill up Hatch's mailbox.

What do you think? Is this kid asking for it-- saying some words are "wrong"-- or does he have a valid issue here?

FCC Wants To Give You Free Wi-Fi

Brian Fairbanks — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 18:08:00 GMT

Last night, while we were busy making out with total strangers and getting groped in the streets of Manhattan, an historic event took place. Something incredible happened out there, people, and no, we're not talking about that Hussein dude pulling the wool over our eyes...

According to a story in Business Week, while the American people were speaking out in record numbers, the Federal Communications Commission, that Bush Administration disaster was trying to make amends for its past anti-First Amendment grandstanding-- perhaps out of fear of the anti-conservative revolution they're missing out on-- made a unanimous decision on wi-fi:

The country's top communications regulator unanimously voted to free up the biggest ever swath of airwaves to be used by the public for cheap high-speed wireless Internet access.
The vote came after more than six years of public scrutiny and decides the fate of airwaves that will be made available when television broadcasts switch over to digital signals from analog in February. A broad coalition of opponents, including lawmakers, musicians, and broadcasters, argued that free public use of the airwaves would interfere with TV broadcasts and wireless microphones. "I don't think I've ever seen anything like this [amount of pressure] from broadcasters before," says Steve Sharkey, senior director of regulatory and spectrum policy at Motorola (MOT), one of the companies that welcomed the FCC's decision.

Of course, don't get your wires all in a twist in excitement just yet. Wait for AT&T, Verizon, and anybody else who makes gazillions off of something we should all be getting free.

What do you think?

12-Year-Old Boy Gets Arrested For Attacking Pregnant Teacher, Threatening To Kill Her

Brian Fairbanks — Fri, 17 Oct 2008 15:52:00 GMT

What's nuttier than a story about an adolescent getting arrested for throwing sticks and stones (literally) at his pregnant teacher?

How about what he said to her while he did it and the fact that the local media saw fit to print his mugshot as a warning to others...

According to the TV station that revealed the poor kid's identity:

The boy stands just four feet tall and weighs just 54 pounds, but apparently the little 12-year-old has a big temper. He was arrested for viciously attacking his pregnant school counselor and is now facing two felony charges, battery on a pregnant female and battery on a school official.
The 12-year-old started running away from his teachers and was about to jump the fence when the counselors tried to stop him and that's when he got mad."Next time, it's not going to be a pleasant visit! You go to school to learn!" a Palm Bay officer told Jason Lord as he got into a squad car.

We won't even take bets on whether this kid has a rough home life (there's no way they can just write this off to ADD or bipolar disorder or whatever they can come up with), since it's 99% likely he's been through more than the usual rigamarole there. You don't learn to say "Bitch, I'm going to kill you" while giving two teachers the middle finger from your classmates, you know...

We won't cause him further humiliation by posting his mugshot here... the kid's crying in it, for God's sake. Don't they have any respect?

Gordon Ramsay To His 10 Year Old Daughter: "Eat Your Veggies And Grow Big Tits"

Brian Fairbanks — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 18:09:00 GMT

Apparently, Gordon Ramsay is just as much of an assface outside of Hell's Kitchen, including in his own... kitchen, that is, when his ten-year-old daughter is present.

The foul-mouthed TV star says his 10-year-old daughter, Megan, was a fussy eater - but she eagerly eats vegetables because she thinks they will enhance her chest.

He says, "I say to Meg, 'You've got to eat your lettuce, otherwise your boobies aren't going to grow.'

"It works - she's eating whole heads of lettuce, saying, 'Dad, look!' "

The man is a menace to children everywhere, and especially his own. Watch as he tries to pass off his son's mimicking of his constant use of the "fuck" word on some poor, innocent sixteen-year-olds.

When he started asking his father what various x-rated words mean, Ramsey told the British magazine Radio Times, he became concerned.

"I had to sit him down and found out that this was coming from the 16-year-olds on the bus who'd decided to teach Jack Ramsay a different swear word every day," Ramsay said.
