Culture: The Conan/Mario thing is a coincidence, you big-media idiots

  • OMG are you guys seriously that stupid? Look, we get it. The Conan thing is freaking hilarious. We love it like a child of our own, in fact. (W’zup Jeff Greco?!) But we noticed something when looking on the Internet today: More than one big-media blog trying to set the record straight on what is seriously the most awesome coincidence ever. Syfy’s official blog, for example. Or more depressingly, The Live Feed, The Hollywood Reporter’s usually awesome TV blog. You guys need to take a step back from the mirror and realize it’s, on its face, hilarious. OK? Now read this story on how Nintendo digs it. source

Offbeat: We talk about zombies and pirates too much; here’s a vampire story

  • Jonathon “The Impaler” Sharkey pleads guilty to harrassment. The 45-year-old Sharkey, who’s not only a “vampire” apparently but a creep, pleaded guilty to harassment charges involving a teenage girl he met on MySpace. If that’s not good enough, he once ran for Minnesota governor under the “Vampyres, Witches and Pagans” banner. He should have waited. Tim Pawlenty isn’t running again and he might have had a shot. Now he’s just a laughingstock. source

Offbeat: Guinness’ most-litigious man sues … wait for it … Guinness

  • I’ve filed so many lawsuits with my pen and right hand that I got arthritis in my fingers, numbness in my wrists, crooked fingers. I flush out more lawsuits than a sewer.
  • Jonathan Lee Riches • A man currently incarcerated in Kentucky who filed a lawsuit in Eastern Washington against the Guinness Book of World Records for saying he’s filed more lawsuits than anyone in the history of mankind. Riches, who goes by such nicknames as “Lawsuit Zeus,” “Johnny Sue-nami,” and “Troy McClure,” claims that they plan to print false information about his feat. Dear Johnny Sue-nami, please sue us! We want to be next! • source

Offbeat, World: Why this Chinese guy pushed another guy off a bridge

  • Their action violates a lot of public interests. They do not really dare to kill themselves. Instead, they just want to raise the relevant government authorities’ attention to their appeals.
  • Lai Jiansheng • On why he pushed suicidal man Chen Fuchao off a bridge. Lai said that his actions and the actions of the other 12 attempted bridge jumpers since April were “very selfish” and holding up traffic. (None of the 12 actually jumped.) Chen, who was heavily in debt, didn’t die – he fell onto a partially-filled emergency air cushion and is in the hospital. Which means that we can laugh about this now. • source

  • We meant to cover this last week, but we forgot. Our bad. Somehow, though, seeing the video gives it new life. There’s just so much wrong about this situation.source
