ONLY IN NEW YORK

HA HA, HE HE, HEY HEY, HO HO



I have mentioned many times over the last few years about this absolutely awesome website called "Overheard In New York" which lists random conversations overheard all around NY and submitted by fans of the site. Any one can submit and then the editors choose the best ones and post them on the site.


The conversations are hilarious alright but the ‘headlines’ that the editors at the site give it are sometimes even funnier (in red).


Enjoy and do remember to bookmark the site. On a depressing day there’s nothing better to perk you up than examples of fellow human beings spouting absolute nonsense.


Below are some of the choice ones from the last 3 weeks entries.


Enjoy & Luv

Actor Dies After being tasered.



DEATH WATCH. WATCH DEATH. QUITE LITERALLY.


Its always sad when someone dies but even more so when it could have been avoided.


A porn actor, Andrew Grande, was pronounced dead this morning at a Florida hospital.

The 23-year-old was in the middle of filming a new reality show when he got into an argument with a girl. Someone reported the disturbance and when the cops arrived one of the police officers tried to arrest Andrew.

He resisted and quickly shoved something in his mouth, which was later found to be Marijuana.

And that's when things turned deadly for him.

Since he was resisting arrest, one of the officers 'tasered' him to restrain him, but the jolt forced the contents in his mouth to lodge in his throat and he began to choke.

The officers desperately tried to save him by using the Hiemlich maneuver but the bag was just too big and by the time the paramedics arrive, he had already passed out. He was dead by the time they reached the hospital.

And just because he was in the middle of reality show, there is footage of the entire ordeal, which you can watch below.

I must warn you that it's pretty disturbing and not very easy to watch and for that matter i cant even believe the cameraman kept shooting.

So Sad & So Tragic.

IMP: VIEWER DISCRETION STRICTLY ADVISED.



Cry Baby Over Milk


YET ANOTHER MILK STORY...

A Company called E-Trade debuted an ad during this year's Super Bowl.

And at this stage if you dont follow american football or have any kind of interest in Lindsay Lohan its probably a good idea to stop reading.

Anyway the ad shows 2 kids (babies actually) video chatting.

The boyfriend had apparantly not shown up the previous night for a date with his girlfriend and claims he was working on "diversifying his portfolio" on E-Trade.

The suspecting girlfriend then asks..

"And that Milk-o-holic Lindsay wasnt there??"

Even as the flustered boyfriend is asking "Lindsay???" UP pops a baby girl's head onto the screen saying angrily "Milk-o WHAT??"

Now Miss Lindsay Lohan has had her troubles with the paps with her boozing and alcoholism so she claims that they were mocking her in that ad and wants a cool $100 Million as compensation.

And quite incredibly she also goes on to claim that like Oprah and Cher she too is known world wide by just her first name.

Yeah....Maybe in Cuckoo-Land.

Anyway she claims she saw the ad and called her mommy in tears asking;

"Mommy, mommy how can anyone be so rude?"

Cry-o-holic Anyone???

Enjoy the ad.

Honey, I Sprayed the Cops



THE MILK OF HUMAN KINDNESS ??

Wow. Sometimes there comes a bit of news which just makes you speechless.
Seriously. There really isn't much you can say except state the facts and here they are.

An woman in Arizona, USA (where else), was arrested for public intoxication Friday night and taken to jain. There she was given a prison uniform to change into and while doing that she apparantly "sprayed" the cop who was booking her in the face with BREAST MILK!!!

Seriously. SERIOUSLY.

What is wrong with some people?!!

And it gets crazier here.

Apparantly in the USA (again, where else) breast milk is considered as third degree assault in a court of law and so the crazy woman got another charge added.

Over here all i can say is that I dont know what i'm more surprised about.

That something like this could even happen or the fact that it has happened often enough for there to be legislation about it.

WOW.

And that poor cop???

He had to be DECONTAMINATED!!

Check out the news below.... unfortunately they still have not released the cctv tapes from the prison of the actual 'act'.

Enjoy

CRAZY IS AS CRAZY DOES


FARM ANY BABIES TODAY?



I am in the mood for some net-lecturing today.

Have we seriously gone net-crazy?

By now many of you must have heard of the South Korean couple who let their 3 month old baby daughter die of starvation only because they were too busy raising their ‘virtual’ child online. Both unemployed, they would spend 6-8 hours in the nearby internet café where they were obsessed with a role-playing game called “Prius Online” in which they nurtured a virtual girl named ‘Anima’.

Bottle feeding the poor baby only once everyday, they spent hours upon hours online making sure that ‘Anima’ got her virtual milk on time.


On September 24th when they returned home after spending the whole night at the internet café they found their poor baby dead and promptly went into hiding at a relative’s home from where they had the cheek to issue a statement.


It said: “I’m sorry to my daughter and hope she doesn’t get sick in heaven.”

Now let that be a lesson to all of you who spend hours on your ‘farms’.


Your children & family may not exactly be starving for food but they are starving nonetheless.

Starving for your time and attention.

Think of all the real things you can do for your family and loved ones the next time you go to plant some virtual ‘strawberries’.


BTW did you notice that in that report about the Korean case the virtual baby was called “Anima” but there was no mention of the poor ‘real’ baby’s name.

Neither by the reporters nor by the parents in their statement.

And That’s Sad. Very Very Sad.

Till next time and hopefully some better news.

Luv

Vish


P.S. How many of you were thinking of GooglingPrius Online’ even while you were reading the article above? Shame On You.

Anti Smoking


"I DID NOT HAVE SEXUAL RELATIONSHIPs

WITH THAT CIGARETTE"



An anti-smoking campaign in France has just released a series of posters to get teenagers to stop smoking.





As I'm sure you've now noticed, that the ads liken the act of 'sexual submission' (or oral sex to be more precise) to that of inhaling tar.

Since all of us dont really read French, the slogan on these ads reads:

"Smoking means being a slave to tobacco."

Naturally it goes without saying that people are pissed, calling the ads "inappropriate" and "counterproductive," but the head of the Non-Smoker' Rights Association, Remi Parola, says the ads were a necessary step to reaching out to the youth demographic:

"We noticed that the traditional anti-smoking campaigns no longer got across amongst the youth. We thus had to use another way in order to raise awareness…We were surprised by the extent of the media buzz. But it's above all a message of public health that got across."

Plain Cancer stories are obviously not effective anymore and hardly gets their attention and while this ad has certainly gotten their attention, the proverbial million dollar question is, is it effective?

What do U think?

Will it make a difference to teenagers?

Till Next Time
