Barilla Pasta Doesn’t like When Two Noodles Touch
Gay rights activists in Italy have launched a boycott of the world’s leading pasta maker after its chairman said he would only portray the “classic family” in his advertisements and, if people objected to that, they should feel free to eat a different kind of pasta. ~ TheGuardian.com
“I would not do it but not out of a lack of respect for homosexuals who have the right to do what they want without bothering others … [but] I don’t see things like they do and I think the family that we speak to is a classic family.” ~ Guido Barilla
Clearly this Guido guy is an idiot. Way to singlehandedly keep the stereotype of the Italian homophobe alive buddy. With that said, I really don’t know where this boycott is getting the grapes to go after Barilla. Guido is clearly respectfully declining to portray anything but the “classic family” in his ads. He isn’t going around gay-bashing like other companies…..cough cough…..Chick-fil-A….
Secondly, when the hell have you ever seen a Barilla ad? I think Barilla pasta is just one of those things you know is in the super market when you go shopping. Maybe, Guido, you just cut advertising all together. It would save you time, money, and the need to explain, respectfully of course, that you are a homophobic company.
Hey Guido, it’s your call. I would just keep my mouth shut, even bringing it up can’t help your company. However, I do respect your opinion on the boycott. Total CEO move.
“Well, if they like our pasta and our message they will eat it; if they don’t like it and they don’t like what we say they will … eat another.” ~Guido Barilla
The only thing about that statement, Guido, is that you now have a nationally trending topic on Twitter of #BoycottBarilla. That can’t be good for business.

PS- Whatever happens this is sure to cost Barilla a pretty penne………..
“Dumb and Dumber To” Might Be the Greatest Movie of All-Time
(Source) “Report: Cam Neely Accepts Role as Sea Bass in ‘Dumb and Dumber’ Sequel
Retired hockey players seem to never lose the itch to get back on the ice and play, but Bruins legend Cam Neely is returning to a different passion: acting.
According to ScreenCrush.com and JimCarreyOnline.com, Neely is set to reprise his role as Sea Bass in the long-awaited Dumb and Dumber sequel starring Jim Carrey and Emmy-winner Jeff Daniels.
The sequel to the 1994 comedy hit has been rumored to be in production for years, but only recently did Carrey and Daniels make their involvement known publicly via Twitter.”
Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels tweeted a picture from the set of Dumb and Dumber To earlier this week, and I don’t think it’s possible for a human being to be more excited for a movie than I am for this movie. Now it seems Cam Neely will reprise his role as Sea Bass, Milan Lucic could conceivably play his son and we’ll finally get to see Fraida Feltcher in the flesh, courtesy of Kathleen Turner. The Oscars better create a “Best Movie of All-Time” award by 2015 because Dumb and Dumber To is going to deserve it.

Kurt Russell Is Officially in For “Fast 7”
Their transformation into The Expendables with cars is now complete.
Martina Hingis is Kind of Insane
The husband of Martina Hingis claims the Swiss tennis player, her mother and her mother’s boyfriend beat him up.
French showjumper Thibault Hutin is currently waiting to divorce the Grand Slam winner, but things took a turn for the violent on Monday when Hingis and two members of her family attacked him.
“I resisted every effort but Mario Widmer, the partner of Melanie, struck me in the head with a DVD player,” Hutin added.
The attack ended in the trio taking Hutin’s credit card and passport. Hutin then called police and reported the “violent incident” claiming he had also received threatening text messages.
He has since moved into a hotel and plans to return to Paris.”
“The policemen went back to the apartment with me and forced the three to surrender my valuables,” Hutin is quoted as saying.
“They wanted to kill me. I’m shocked! I never thought it would go so far.”
Hutin and Higins decided to separate after Hutin reportedly found her cheating on him after one year of marriage and later a second time after he had forgiven the first slip.
Martina Hingis had us all fooled. World class tennis player. Darling human being. Not anymore. Apparently she recruits her family to beat up people that SHE cheats on. Slyly convincing her mother’s boyfriend to hit her husband over the head with DVD players, then steal his credit cards and passport. Those are the actions of a master manipulator. Or someone who has had a serious psychotic break. Poor Thibault must’ve felt like Austin Powers after he got hit with a shoe. Honestly, who hits someone over the head with a DVD player? Martina Hingis’s mothers boyfriend, that’s who.

It’s All About the New Benjamin’s, Baby!
Benjamin Franklin is getting a makeover with the new 100 dollar bills. Apparently they spent over a decade perfecting the security to make it near impossible for counterfeiters to replicate the new bill. The advanced security features include a 3-D Security Ribbon and the Bell in the Inkwell.
“These offer a simple and subtle way to verify that a new $100 note is real.”

“Subtle”? I think that big blue stripe is anything but subtle. But what do I know, i’m not a money designer.

PS- The only question I have is, will it affect my ability to make it rain? That’s my main concern.
Mike Rowe is a Superhero
Apparently Mike Rowe used to be an opera singer. Now I need him to narrate my every move and be my life coach. It’s the next logical step after an acclaimed music and television career.

P.S. People might take this the wrong way, but I want to steal his vocal cords and surgically replace them with mine.
Freeman’s Body Isn’t Even Cold Yet!
Greg Schiano is cold as ice! On Monday he reported Freeman was the starter, this morning he benches him, and now he is trading him!
