Hey, I Know that Guy

Sometimes it’s fun to see your childhood friends. You’re flooded with memories and remember the good old days. Other times it’s embarrassing when friends from your childhood end-up on national television for losing a bet and making a fool of themselves. Denver Broncos fan Brady Wagner was so sure his team would beat the Patriots Sunday, he wagered a tattoo with a childhood friend. If Denver won, Wagner’s friend would get a Tim Tebow tattoo. If the Patriots won, Wagner agreed to get a Bill Belichick tattoo. Video: Lose bet, get Belichick tattoo Brady, do you know you now have a Belichick tramp stamp? And no, I’m not surprised by this. Maybe I should be embarrassed for admitting to know Brady.

Outrageous Outrage?

“I spit out my cheerios…” “Sometimes something is so wrong you can’t believe it’s real.” “Please sign this petition, your daughter will thank you.” – an email I received. J.C. Penney was forced to remove the shirt “I’m too pretty to do homework, so my brother has to do it for me” after an uproar this week in social media land. Is it just selective outrage? I haven’t read or heard any outrage over these Girl Power shirts by David and Goliath. And I haven’t heard a peep from anyone screaming to ban these kids shirts from David and Goliath. Thankfully, David and Goliath have posted on their landing page “our apparel is stupid”, but I’m sure there is someone out there with too much time on their hands trying to ban David and Goliath. I agree with Ricky Gervais when he said, “You have the right to be...

Most Bizarre Political Ads of 2011–So Far

“We minorities should stick together!” I don’t know if he is serious or not, but Dan Adler (D-CA) has some of the most bizarre, actually strange political ads of 2011. He is running for to replace the seat departed Rep. Jane Harman (D-CA) in California’s 36th district. Do you know what a “mensch” is? And no one will forget Patty Duke dropping the s-bomb in this ad for Adler. Caution, foul language. Or the ever so classy, have your young son drop the s-bomb. Again, foul language. Maybe his strategy is working after all. Now, we all know Dan Adler!

Cha-Ching!

For some reason gambling is a touchy subject. I had the radio on while getting ready for my morning errands when Bud Hedinger, the Orlando morning talk show host quickly shot down the proposed legislation for five mega Las Vegas style casinos to be built throughout Florida. Gambling On Casinos – Don’t Do It, Florida! As I told you this morning, there’s legislation on the table in Tallahassee that calls for 5 Las Vegas style mega-casino complexes to be built at various locations throughout Florida. This all about raising money for the state, but I’ll never support expanded gambling in Florida, because I believe it is fundamentally incompatible with the family-friendly image we market to the whole world. Here’s a look at what’s proposed, and I think you’ll agree, it’s the boldest pro-gambling measure we’ve ever seen. We’ll watch it closely as the legislative session unfolds. Whoa, wait a...
