Alan McCrankypants Simpson Chastises Kids for Listening to ‘Enema Man’ and ‘Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg’

March 8, 2011 No Comment

Click here to view this media The head of President Obama’s now defunct deficit commission apparently decided to see if he could outdo himself after his offensive “milk cows” statement on Fox’s Your World with Neil Cavuto. Alan Simpson Invokes ‘Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg’ In Scolding Fears Of Cuts To Social Security : Alan Simpson, co-chairman of President Barack Obama’s debt commission, furthered his penchant for colorful commentary Monday when he unleashed a rambling diatribe targeting what he characterized as a generation of disrespectful youth and their confused grandparents. “This is a fakery,” the former Wyoming senator said on Fox News, referring to retirement-age Americans expressing fears about having Social Security funds slashed. “If they care at all about their children or grandchildren, and sometimes I doubt that — I think, you know, grandchildren now don’t write a thank-you for the Christmas presents, they’re walking on their pants with the cap on backwards listening to the enema man and Snoopy Snoopy Poop Dogg, and they don’t like them!” In February, Simpson exhibited his flair for the dramatic when he called the White House’s spending cut effort a “sparrow belch in the midst of the typhoon.” The deficit, he later said, was “a stink bomb in the garden party and it’s never going to go away.” Amazingly a little later in the segment as the topic turned to raising the debt limit, even Simpson admitted here that if there is a government shutdown, it will be the Republicans who end up taking the blame for it.

H20 Shower Powered Radio blasts the Biebs by way of micro-turbine

March 8, 2011 No Comment

Forget the tablet, 2011 is the year of the shower radio! Last week we reported on Toshiba’s wirelessly connected water-proof song box and, just as our nerves began to settle from the excitement, someone came along and dropped this eco-friendly, shower-ready gem on us. Not only is the H20 Shower Powered Radio waterproof, but it actually uses the water from your shower to pump out the jams. The thing connects directly to your shower hose, and uses the flow of water to set a micro-turbine spinning, thus charging an integral battery and eliminating the need for disposables. As the video below points out, the radio “doesn’t just offer 80s classics — it has the full spectrum of FM,” and its creators say it’s compatible with 99 percent of showers, but what we really want to know is: how well does it crank the Ke$ha? Video after the break.

Exodus Tyson

March 8, 2011 No Comment

Mike Tyson gears up for the premiere of his pigeon racing show ‘Taking on Tyson’ Mike Tyson says he’s had a passion for pigeons ever since he was a boy growing up in Brooklyn. The former Boxer’s latest venture, an Animal Planet reality show called ” Taking on Tyson ,” documents his fondness for the animal and shows him trying his hand at the pigeon racing world in his old neighborhood haunts over New York and New Jersey. “People are going to see what they want to see — they make their own images and perceptions,” Tyson said told the Associated Press last fall. “I can’t make anybody have an opinion about me. Only thing I can do is treat them the way they’d want to treat me.” Tyson has had an image problem over the years. Though his status as a pop culture icon was cemented last year with a role in the hit comedy film “The Hangover,” he has faced multiple criminal and financial problems. He was convicted in 1992 of raping an 18-year-old beauty pageant contestant and served three years in prison. In 2003, he declared bankruptcy and he retired from professional boxing in 2006. In the past four years, Tyson was also arrested on drug and alcohol-related charges. ” Best thing that happened to me was to retire from boxing ,” tells the wire service. ” I just didn’t want that no more in my life. It was just too chaotic .” The boxer told ESPN Radio in August that he used money he made off his cameo in “The Hangover” to buy drugs. Tyson also opened up on how the accidental death of his 4-year-old daughter Exodus in May of 2009 helped changed his life for the better. ” Tyson’s passion for his pigeons takes my breath away ,” Animal Planet President Marjorie Kaplan , told the Associated Press . ” For years, he has been inspired by these birds. ‘Taking on Tyson’ peels back new layers of the remarkable persona and deep humanity of Mike Tyson while also showing us a whole world we never knew existed right on the rooftops of New York City .” Tyson says he’s making some headway in the pigeon racing world but progress is slow. ” Slowly but surely, I’m gaining a name in the business, and I’m very grateful for that as well. It’s competitive, but it’s all in love ,” he told the wire service. He adds, ” I just want to entertain ,” he says. ” Whether it’s boxing, acting, being a comedic, edgy — it’s what I’ve been doing my whole life. I just want to entertain people .” Mike Tyson’s ” Taking on Tyson ” premieres on Sunday, March 6 at 10 p.m. on Animal Planet . Source : OTRC
