Tastes Like Bacon
This one’s too good to pass up writing about!
Comedic genius Sacha Baron Cohen(Borat, Ali G) has done it again, but this time rapper Eminem got a whiff of Bruno’s cheeky side!!!
Bruno crashed last night’s MTV Movie Awards! It was EPIC!!!
(If you’re not familiar with the upcoming release of The Bruno Movie, than check out the official Red Band trailer HERE)
I can only imagine what was going through Eminem’s head when all of this was unfolding!

It's a small world after all!
I, like many others in this world, grew up watching classic Disney movies. Many of them do not sit well with me anymore seems how I am now an adult. Although, recently I learned about a lost piece of Disney history that may have never resurfaced if it weren’t for the persistence of Roy Edward Disney.
Roy E. Disney - The Resurrector
I’m referring to the short animation known as Destino, it was a collaboration between the surrealist painter Salvidor Dali and Mr. Walt Disney. The result is something that is both beautiful and dizzyingly surreal! Thanks Mr. Dali!
Ahead of Their Time
Production of this 6-minute animation was started in 1945 and unfortunately was ditched due to financial difficulties within the Disney corporation. In 1999 Roy E. Disney, Nephew of Walt Disney, unearthed the unfinished short and called upon Disney Studios France to complete the project. After it was finished it finally premiered on June 2, 2003 in Annecy, France and was nominated for an Academy Award for Animated Short Film.
Full film, great quality:

Talk about one smart student!!
I definitely have to take a page(or quote) from this kid’s book.
An Irish student pulled off a glorious prank on the mass-media involving a fake quote, Wikipedia.org, and the death of a well known musician.
22 year old Shane Fitzgerald took the passing of a popular French composer(Maurice Jarre) as the perfect opportunity to test out whether or not major news outlets check their fact’s. The results are less than shocking…to me at least.
It turns out that many newspapers around the world blindly included the faux quote in their obituary columns, but only one news outlet (The Guardian of Britain) has come forward since Fitzgerald disclosed the truth behind the mysterious quotation.
“…Fitzgerald told several media outlets they’d swallowed his baloney whole.” (great/random quote from article)

Kind of makes you think twice before believing what’s in print!

At the end of the day I’m sitting here wondering if there is a specific reason as to why Google didn’t jazz up their logo with some flashy Cinco de Mayo graphics?
Cinco de Mayo, No?
Maybe they’re anti-immigration or perhaps they were really frazzled after that crazy media coverage of the “Swine Flu/H1N1.” Political statement? You be the judge. Cause I can only speculate…
…and I only bring it up for discussion because for as long as I can remember, in America, we’ve sort of “Unofficially” celebrated Cinco de Mayo. Besides that, Google has been well known for the changing of it’s logo on some not-so widely known holidays/events. Just four days ago, on May 1st., they were celebrating Children’s Day(Mexico). wtf?
Also, FYI: Cinco de Mayo is not the celebration of Mexico’s independence, but rather the celebration of Mexico’s victory against the French in The Battle of Puebla(1862).
Extra Goodies:
