TV causes suffering, injury and great pain

« A viewer is suing NBC for $2.5 million, contending that he threw up because of a Fear Factor episode in which contestants ate rats mixed in a blender.

Aitken’s handwritten lawsuit contends the rat-eating made his blood pressure rise, resulting in being dizzy and lightheaded — and vomiting. Because he was disoriented he ran into a doorway, « causing suffering, injury and great pain. »

Les dents de la m�re

Mon neveu Alexis, 6 ans (oui oui, celui qui a trouv� la preuve ultime de l’existence du p�re-no�l), vient de nous en raconter une autre bonne:

M�re: Alexis, tu n’as pas envie d’inviter Antoine � venir jouer avec toi � la maison?

Alexis: Non.

M�re: Mais pourquoi?

Alexis: J’ai pas envie. Il mord.

M�re: Voyons Alexis, tu sais bien que �a fait longtemps qu’il ne mord plus. Et toi aussi tu mordais beaucoup quand tu �tais petit, tu sais.

Alexis: Peut-�tre bien mais moi au moins, je ne mordais que les membres de ma famille.

She’s just not that into you

So there’s a guy and he’s really interested in a girl. The guy calls the girl but the girl doesn’t call the guy back. So the guy calls again, and again, and leaves these messages on her answering machine.

It’s funny, it’s scary, it’s much worse than the famous answering machine scene in Swingers and it gives all men named Greg a bad name. A bad, bad name.
