What's wrong with this picture?

A friend's brother-in-law took this picture. Every time you think you have seen the weirdest stuff driving on the streets, something always comes up.

He put the following caption: "Every time mommy turns left I get covered in freon, yeah!"

Who knew some words were so important?

Found this clip from Late Night with David Letterman. I wonder, who had the job of watching hours of TV and having to count certain words? Good job.

Rude apparently pays

If I am this rude, does that mean I get a bunch of TV show in Britain and America too?

Via Gawker:Portland Bus Driver Caught Reading Kindle While Driving On The Highway

PORTLAND, Ore. -- A TriMet bus driver was caught on video by a passenger, reading a Kindle while driving down I-5 Thursday.

As the driver reached into his bag, pulled out the Kindle and set it on the dashboard, the passenger said he decided to catch it all on camera.

The recording took place on the Line 96 bus traveling from Bridgeport Village to downtown Portland, TriMet officials said Thursday.

The passenger, who wished to remain anonymous, recorded about 60 seconds of video as the bus ran along the Terwilliger Curves. The passenger said the driver appeared to be reading all the way through the curves and into downtown.

The video shows the driver, whose name has not yet been released, looking up and down at the device while he drives. At one point, the driver uses only an elbow to steer the bus for a few seconds, while looking down at the Kindle. He seldom has both hands on the wheel.

Stewart & Colbert Announce Dueling Rallies

On deadline.com/hollywood and Comedy Central, a brilliant announcement was made by Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. It's just too funny not too share. Whatever your political affiliation: you have to admit this s**t is funny! Click below to see what I'm talking about.

Why yes, that is a perfectly acceptable place to throw your disgusting baby diaper. No need to walk to the trash can twenty feet away!

Ugh.

Don't I have a right to stay here?

A fan of the site, sent us this picture and story. The question today is, was it rude of the teacher to kick him out? You be the judge.

Fan says:
I was doing homework on a computer in the biggest computer lab on campus which is open to everyone. But some professors kick kids out so they can use it for their class. Most of the time its because their classes are very large and take up every computer, but this guy only had 5 students, none of which were even two rows near me :/

Sir i know you have a PHD but I'm sure I won't disturb your 5 person class in a 30- person computer lab by sitting in this corner to do homework!

Do you think this is a D**k move?

So I saw this on the Entertainment Tonight website (www.etonline.com), and thought to myself: Can't this guy say they are just friends and leave it at that? What do you think? Do you think he is being rude or just deflecting the question?

Josh Hopkins on Jennifer Aniston: 'Not My Type'

"Cougar Town"'s Josh Hopkins reveals to ET his take on the rumors about him and Jennifer Aniston dating.

At the 2010 Nautica Malibu Triathlon this weekend, the actor confessed that even though Aniston is pretty and smart, the two are "just friends."

"[She's] not my type really," Hopkins told us. But there is one romantic relationship that he thinks will last for a while. Josh dished about his character's romance with Courtney Cox on the upcoming season of "Cougar Town," saying, "I think we're going to really explore the tension of a relationship for a while."

Cell Phone Conversations Infuriate Us For a Reason....

[Via Mind Hacks and Gawker]:

"Psychological Science has a brilliantly conceived study that explains why overhearing someone talk on a mobile phone is so much more annoying than simply overhearing two people in conversation.

It turns out that a one-sided conversation (brilliantly named a ‘half-a-logue’) draws in more of our mental resources because the information is less predictable – like being fed a series of verbal cliff-hangers.

Overheard Cell-Phone Conversations: When Less Speech Is More Distracting.

Psychol Sci. 2010 Sep 3. [Epub ahead of print]

Emberson LL, Lupyan G, Goldstein MH, Spivey MJ.

Why are people more irritated by nearby cell-phone conversations than by conversations between two people who are physically present? Overhearing someone on a cell phone means hearing only half of a conversation-a “halfalogue.” We show that merely overhearing a halfalogue results in decreased performance on cognitive tasks designed to reflect the attentional demands of daily activities. By contrast, overhearing both sides of a cell-phone conversation or a monologue does not result in decreased performance. This may be because the content of a halfalogue is less predictable than both sides of a conversation..."

Are you a bonehead when it comes to Facebook?

I found this great article on cnn.com this morning and thought I had to share with everyone.

Stop those boneheaded Facebook comments

By Andrea Bartz and Brenna Ehrlich, Special to CNN September 8, 2010 9:31 a.m. EDT | Filed under: Social Media

Your Facebook wall is an opportunity for your friends to completely screw you over.

STORY HIGHLIGHTS

• Swearing or making mention of a friend's questionable behavior on his or her wall is unclassy
• Don't blow a friend's major announcement by putting it on Facebook before they do
• "Liking" a friend's sob story could make you look like a jerk, even if you're kidding

RELATED TOPICS

• Facebook Inc.
• Etiquette and Manners

Editor's note: Brenna Ehrlich and Andrea Bartz are the sarcastic brains behind humor blog and soon-to-be-book Stuff Hipsters Hate. When they're not trolling Brooklyn for new material, Ehrlich works as a news editor at Mashable.com, and Bartz holds the same position at Psychology Today.

(CNN) -- Facebook gets a lot of attention for being, uh, your space -- a handful of entry fields in which to sum up your awesomeness, right down to the bewildering "Write something about yourself" box.

Researchers fixate on what your profile says about you, while increasingly complex pages, plug-ins and boxes (what are those all about, anyway?) make it clear that Facebook is all about you.

Still, at least one tab of your Facebook profile is largely left to others' devices: the wall.

Here, controlled chaos reigns as friends and sometimes even strangers add uncensored commentary to your digital persona.

The wall's a totally bizarre concept, if you think about it: You're writing a message to your friend, but instead of getting it to him directly (Hey, the "send message" button is right there), you post a thought for the world to see.

It's an opportunity for your friends to showcase their wit, trot out inside jokes and flirt publicly. It's also an opportunity for your pals to completely screw you over.

When it comes to interacting on the FB, we suggest you cease and desist with the following:

Boneheaded move: Dirtying up a friend's wall

Just because you are wise enough to say "no" to friend requests from your Aunt Susie, your former co-worker and your little cousin Tyler doesn't mean the same is true of your friends.

Swearing or making mention of a friend's questionable (or even questionably legal) early-morning decisions on his or her wall is just as unclassy as her 3 a.m. dip into the never-dry pool of bad decisions.

Yeah, your bud might don an uber-short denim romper and cuss up a storm in a Peaches cover band on the weekends, but let her be the gatekeeper of that intel.

Boneheaded move: "Liking" your friend's sob story

Your journo friend wrote a heartbreaking article about a passel of homeless kittens being drowned at the local shelter. The headline is "Hundreds of Kittens Killed in Shelter Sham." Admiring your friend's grabby lede and use of alliteration, you click to give the article a thumbs-up. In fact, you "like" it. Oops. You sick animal-hating freak, you.

Let's try another one. Your friend writes a lengthy and hilarious note about his hapless Tuesday, complete with food poisoning, an awkward run-in with an ex at the used bookstore and an uninsured visit to the hospital after a precarious light fixture gave up hanging by its cord and crashed onto his cranium.

You, appreciative of the comedic tone and spot-on delivery, "like" the description of said friend's terrible, horrible, no-good, very bad day. Yeah. Real nice.

Look, if a status update isn't overtly cheerful, skip straight to a pleasant comment, OK? Or just buy homeboy a beer. That, he'll really "like."

Boneheaded move: Blowing an announcement

Oh em gee, oh em gee, Ricky finally proposed to his girlfriend! Oh em gee, oh em gee, you must immediately share your opinion that it's about damn time, and even though you don't believe in marriage as an institution, you are pumped for the celebration and hope he'll consider letting your glam rock glittered-out indie band play at the reception!

Sans further ado, you rush to the book of faces, fingers aflutter, and hit the caps-lock key before filling in a long and detailed wall post, full of much congratulations and merriment.

Except that Ricky hasn't made this announcement himself yet, and he and his fiancée are feverishly calling up dozens of loved ones and convincing each that he or she is very first to hear the good news.

Now the remaining handful of VIPs make the discovery at the same time as the mouth-breathing masses, thanks to your TMI wall post. Ricky's friends and relatives are pissed at him, Ricky's pissed at you, and you sure as hell ain't getting the wedding-band gig that would almost certainly send you soaring toward a record deal and indie rock stardom.

All because you couldn't keep your mouth shut.

This goes for bad news, as well: Major life events such as train wreck-like break-ups, unforeseen job losses and the tragic deaths of beloved pet parakeets are best announced by he who is most personally affected.

The simple fix: Send a Facebook message instead. You could also try an e-mail or even (gasp!) pick up the telephone, but we know interpersonal communication is about as passe as those chill beach-rock beats your band was pumping out six months ago.

Another parking problem

There must be something in the air this week, because this is the second submission we got about rude parking. Bella A., a fan and constant contributor to the site, sent us this ditty. You never know what lurks in the parking lot!

Bella says:

Hello! Me again, Bella.
I was going to work this morning... and getting off the bus to go to our store, you'd have to walk across a gigantic parking lot (it's a train station).. ANYWAYS, I was walking across it today and smack dab in the middle of the lot I walked right past this mother-fella's parking job. Now, this person parked their car in such a way that there is no way another car can pull up in front of it without getting it's ass taken off by the next guy trying to find a parking space. C'mon people, if you can't park your car, take damn public transit ALL THE WAY. it's better for the environment, healthier for you to walk 5 minutes more and you save a few hundred people from being totally pissed off... that is all!! Have a great day!!
Thanks again for the submissions!

It must be really nice to park anywhere and anyway you want!

Erika, a friend and fan of the site, sent us this yesterday.
