Somebody Give This Pizza Delivery Guy a Raise
If third story pizza throwing ever becomes an Olympic sport, we know where to look for a team captain. Love the dedication. Love the effort.

Of Course Georgia’s New License Plate Has a Confederate Flag On It
Why wouldn’t it? Why would it have a peach or a picture of Ty Cobb or something we could all agree on? Where’s the fun in that? This proves that there are just people in this world who never want racism to go away. I’ve lived in Rhode Island my whole life, so I can’t say with any accuracy what life is like in the South, but I guarantee whoever decided this was a good idea wanted to ruffle some feathers. Stir up a good old fashioned racism debate. Mission accomplished.

Vanilla Ice Was Named “Outstanding Citizen of the Year”. In Other News I Need to Reevaluate my Life
Vanilla Ice is being named citizen of the year by the South Florida town where he lives, according to reports.
The 1990s one-hit-wonder, best known for his hit single “Ice Ice Baby,” will be named “Outstanding Citizen of the Year” by Wellington’s chamber of commerce during an event
on Feb. 26.
Officials said they will honor the rapper, whose given name is Rob Van Winkle, for his “spirit of giving and dedication” to Wellington, the Associated Press reported.
Mr. Van Winkle has contributed to several local charities in Wellington and also films his DIY Network reality show “The Vanilla Ice Project” there. -Washington Times
I mean…good for V-Ice, but how bad is Wellington Florida doing? You already have a state FULL of crazies and you name Vanilla Ice “Most outstanding”? I got news for you Florida that’s like giving the title of warden to one of the crazies at the asylum. Again, good for Vanilla Ice. I have had nothing but love for the one-hit wonder since he joined forces with the Insane Clown Posse. Keep up what you are doing and never, ever, make a movie again.
Facebook Droppin’ Stacks $$$$$$
Facebook has entered into an agreement to purchase WhatsApp, the massively popular messaging client, for $16 billion in cash and stock. A document filed with the SEC today confirms the huge purchase. As was the case with Instagram, the company says WhatsApp will continue to operate independently after the acquisition — separate from Facebook Messenger — but claims the deal “accelerates Facebook’s ability to bring connectivity and utility to the world.” Facebook is also throwing in an extra $3 billion in restricted stock units that will go to WhatsApp’s employees; those will vest over a period of four years after the acquisition is finalized. – The Verge
Why would Facebook spend 16 billion on a messaging app while they already have Facebook Messenger? The answer is simple…Users. WhatsApp has more than 450 million monthly users. If that doesn’t grab your attention check out their growth over its first 4 years as compared to other social media giants.
I think what is most interesting will be how Facebook plans integrates WhatsApp into its repertoire (Instagram, Facebook, and Facebook Messenger). That is, if they integrate it at all.

PS- 16 BILLION DOLLARS = Mucho $tacks
Brian Williams Rapping the News to ‘Rappers Delight’ is Everything I Never Knew I Needed

I need to find out who edits these videos for Fallon and shake his hand, because these are amazing. ‘Rapper’s Delight’ is the newest installment from last nights episode and it’s easily my favorite one. Who knew Brian Williams could break it down like that?

Christian Bale is a Sweet Angelic Prince
Source – DANNY HAMMOND just got a little help from Batman himself.
The 21-year-old from Springfield, Delaware County, is at Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia because of astrocytoma, a cancerous tumor on his spinal cord.
To show Hammond, who has been battling cancer since he was 9, support, his family posts pics to a “Dan’s Our Man” Facebook page. Although most contributors are family and friends, Christian Bale recently sent his own show of support, sending a pic with “Dan’s Our Man” written across his face. Bale found out about Hammond through Hammond’s cousin, a costume designer who has worked with Bale.
Bale is known for changing his appearance for the big screen, such as his recent Oscar-nominated role in “American Hustle,” but rarely has it been for a cause this sweet.
Christian Bale sounds like a swell guy. I know he had that blowup on the set on Terminator a while back, but anyone who goes out of his way to do this is OK in my book. And the best part about this is it wasn’t a publicity stunt. He didn’t do it and give a million interviews about it. He found out about the kids battle and posted his show of support. Simple as that. Wouldn’t expect anything else out of Batman, and if this helps Dan persevere a little longer, then it was well worth it.

Ignition Square Off: Jimmy Fallon Ragtime vs. Dave Chappelle’s R. Kelly
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r2LiFsdrXF4&feature=youtube_gdata_player
vs.
Who are we kidding, Dave Chappelle’s wins by a country mile, but Jimmy Fallon is still el hombre. Once I saw the video of Fallon singing Ignition in ragtime I immediately thought of Chappelle’s spoof version. Haters gonna hate. Lovers gonna love. I don’t even want, none of the above I want to piss on you. I think I just found my wedding song.
