CBS Mobile Two: Killer Behind the Wheel- UPDATED!!!

12 Jan

January 12, 2011

Channel 2, CBS New York, has a mobile news van, like many other stations. Here’s the difference- the driver of the van has a cameraman in the passenger seat, filming the driver as he reports on the street conditions as he drives.

Channel 2 is taking a driver, sticking a camera in his face, forcing him to contend with the camera, give a news report, and drive at the same time. Usually over icy roads.

Who at CBS thinks that’s a good idea? How long until this man mows down some children crossing the street live on air?

In New York we can’t talk on a cell phone and drive but this is OK?

UPDATE! January 13, 2011

Does Richard Huff read my blog? I wouldn’t dare to venture a guess (but if I did I’d say “yes!”) but how else to explain this column in today’s Daily News? Yes, once more, I have scooped the newspapers!

MR. BLOG GETS RESULTS!

Beans, Beans The Musical Fruit, The More You Eat, The More You Play Disco Music

12 Jan

January 12, 2011

Of the many things I never expected to read, this was not one of them.

You’ve heard of eine kleine nachtmusik? Here’s eine kleine stomachmusik
 

Meet Fredrik Hjelmqvist.

There’s little I can add to the jokes you must already have come up with.    

 
 

And now for a little stomache music...

 This man gives a new meaning to term “illegal downloads.”

Just imagine a romantic evening. A wonderful dinner, a carriage ride around Central Park, and music emanating from a man’s abdomen. What woman could resist? Sorry. I meant to say, what woman would go near him again?

Beans have long been known as the musical fruit, but swallowing this bean brings it to an entirely new level. Sure, most men have been known to toot a little from time to time, but how many of us have played three-part harmony? Alone, that is.
 
Just think. You find yourself pursued by the police- pop in a capsule of high-speed chase music. In a dark alley? Swallow a pill of ominous bass music. Having sex? Pop a capsule of 70’s porno music. And a Viagra. You can be your own soundtrack!
 
Record someone else’s voice and fool any voice recognition software. Just be sure to have an answer as to why you are holding the phone to your stomach.
 
Of course, an invention like this must have many serious practical applications, one would expect, though they escape me at the moment. Perhaps you can rent him out for parties…?
