Offbeat: Some hotel/motel/Holiday Inn employee willing to jump in your bed

  • It’s the company’s new human-bed-warming service. When we at the hotel/motel/Holiday Inn, sometimes we get a little cold before tucking in. Fortunately, they have that covered. Someone will jump into your bed in a onesie, lay around, and get the bed warm for you. “The new Holiday Inn bed warmers service is a bit like having a giant hot water bottle in your bed,” the company’s spokeswoman Jane Bednall noted. Can they keep us company, too? We get lonely in hotel rooms sometimes. source

    Offbeat: NPR covers the biggest issue ever: The cut of our sandwich

    They seem to be very much in favor of the triangle over the square. We personally favor ripping the sandwich to shreds so it’s not an issue. source

    Offbeat: Hey, look, raw Balloon Boy launch footage. Interesting.

    • Pops has a temper. And man, this non-story has enough entertaining twists and turns that we cannot convince ourselves to turn away. In the latest news of the case, the Heene family was, in fact, working on a TV show about their family, but networks and production companies passed on it. Wouldn’t it be sad/awesome if they got a reality show out of this incident anyway? source
