Do Yourself a Favor and Watch ‘Confessions of a Superhero’ On Netflix
‘Confessions of a Superhero’ is a 2007 documentary that follows around 4 fame obsessed hopefuls as they dress up as various superheroes (Hulk, Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman) in LA waiting to be noticed. I fully expected this film to be depressing, but it was actually fascinating. Living in Rhode Island you don’t see many fame hungry people, but this film opens your eyes to alarming number of people moving to Hollywood in search of celebrity. Although this film is 6 years old, it addresses a big problem in our culture: the new generations of kids don’t want to be doctors or teachers; they want to be athletes or musicians or actors. When those kids fail at Plan A, Plan B is sometimes to scary to watch. Do yourself a favor and witness the madness in ‘Confessions of a Superhero’.

Chinese Walmarts Are Really Splitting Hairs These Days
Source – Wal-Mart Stores Inc., the world’s largest retailer, has recalled donkey meat sold at some outlets in China after tests showed the product contained the DNA of other animals, the US company said.
Wal-Mart will reimburse customers who bought the tainted “Five Spice” donkey meat and is helping local food and industry agencies in eastern Shandong province investigate its Chinese supplier, it said late on Wednesday in official posts on China’s Twitter-like Weibo. The Shandong Food and Drug Administration earlier said the product contained fox meat.
The scandal could dent Wal-Mart’s reputation for quality in China’s $1 trillion food and grocery market where it plans to open 110 new stores in the next few years. China is the largest grocery market in the world and is set to grow to $1.5 trillion by 2016, according to the Institute of Grocery Distribution.
Donkey meat. Fox meat. Human meat. What’s the difference? If you’re shopping for “five spice” donkey meat at a Walmart in China getting some fox meat mixed in there is the least of your worries. Apparently people who eat donkey meat are very picky. Walmart wants to throw some other animal DNA in there and all of a sudden there’s a huge uproar. Have you seen some of the stuff they sell at Chinese Walmarts? Crocodiles, rib cages, turtles. If you’re going in there looking for food you have to expect the worst. Tis’ the life of a Chinese Walmart shopper.

Is Space Jam the Most Universally Loved Movie Of All Time?
I watched Space Jam the other day for the time in a LONG time. Space Jam is the kind of move you can pull out in any situation and it satisfies the crowd. Old people. Young people. Men. Women. If you don’t like Space Jam there’s a solid chance you’re an asshole. Twitter is full of assholes, so I figured I’d be able to find someone who hates Space Jam.

the first cd I ever bought for myself was the space jam soundtrack n if that’s not a conversation starter I don’t really know what is

A+ cast. Flawless storyline. Angelic soundtrack. I don’t want to start sounding crazy, but Space Jam might be the greatest movie of all time. You hear that, studio heads? If you want to make money you put Michael Jordan and Bill Murray together in a movie. Box office bonanza.

Winning the Rose Bowl Means Nothing in Mike Dantonio’s Eyes
No easy buckets, guys. Just because you won the 100th Rose Bowl it doesn’t mean you can just pour the gatorade on your coach. You’re going to have to wake up pretty damn early in the morning if you want to get the jump on Coach Mike D. There is a reason why the nickname “Slippery Mike D” exists.

The Patriots are Going to Give Austin Collie a Concussion
The Patriots have reportedly re-signed the 5-year vet for their playoff push.
Jesus christ! This poor, poor kid. First, we thought he was dead from all the head trauama, then the Pats pull him from the brink and sign him to a contract, then they release him, then they sign him, then they release him, and now they sign him again?! This kid is going to get whiplash from all the paperwork. I picture him like OJ in “The Naked Gun”. Everyone just inadvertently beating the shit out of him with no remorse.

Shia LaBeouf’s New Years Resolution Was Apparently To Be Insane
Source – As if his numerous apologies weren’t enough, Shia LaBeouf has now written his message in the sky.
The 27-year-old actor hired a skywriting company to spell out in block letters ‘I AM SORRY DANIEL CLOWES’ in the skies above Los Angeles.
It follows a month of increasingly wordy apologies, following the Transformer’s star’s admitted plagiarism of the cartoonist’s graphic novel.
So profuse have the apologies become, that they could be considered to be making fun of his critics. Further complicating matters, some of Shia’s apologies seem to be plagiarized also.
‘You have my apologies for offending you for thinking I was being serious instead of accurately realizing I was mocking you,’ he tweeted on Tuesday, sounding more trite than contrite.
The tweet was similar to a May article in RedState.com in which a pro-life advocate mocked pro-choice supporters in nearly the same words.
He also apologized to the cartoonist using the same language employed by porn star Mr. Marcus after he was busted in 2012 for knowingly exposing co-stars to syphilis and also has cribbed apologies from Eliot Spitzer, Russell Crowe and Yahoo Answers, according to Entertainment Weekly.
The apologetic messages came after the actor earlier this month released his 12-minute short film HowardCantour.com starring Jim Gaffigan, but quickly pulled it after allegations of plagiarism arose.
What the hell is wrong with Shia LaBeouf? In this day and age, is plagiarizing the dumbest thing someone can do? If you plagarize there is a 1000% chance you’ll get caught. Anyone in the world can type in your script and see if it was used before. Which is probably exactly what happened. To make matters worse, he’s plagiarizing apologies and writing sky notes. Basically telling everyone to s his d and he doesn’t give a shit what everyone thinks. Perfect way to start the new year and change everyone’s already horrible opinion of you. Although I’m absolutely stealing the sky writing move for the next time I do something dumb. Semi power move.

It’s All Fun and Games Until Someone Bites Off Your Toe
Source – BOSTON — Police say a woman had her toe bitten off at a New Year’s Eve party in Boston.
Officers responded to a city hospital at about 5 a.m. Wednesday for a report of an apparent assault in which the victim’s little toe on her left foot was bitten off.
The victim told police she made a sexual advance to another woman at the party in the city’s Dorchester neighborhood at about 3 a.m., which upset the other woman’s boyfriend and led to a fight.
Police tell The Boston Globe the party’s host then asked the victim to leave, which led to another fight outside in which the host allegedly bit off the guest’s toe.
The entire episode remains under investigation and no names were released.
Not the ideal way to start off the new year. I’m no Nostradamus but I have a feeling this girl is going to have a horrible 2014. I can’t imagine having another person biting off your pinky toe being a good omen for the new year. This girl probably had a bunch of resolutions about eating healthier and getting into shape. Maybe she was going to take an art class a few days a week to spruce up her apartment. Now she’s just a four toed mutant. The only thing I can think of worse than this is actually being murdered on new years eve. At that point a missing pinky toe would be the least of your worries.
