Nickelback pissed at the pickle

The Facebook group that set out to get more fans for a pickle than the band Nickelback has succeeded. Late last week the pickle overtook Nickelback, and now has about 1.5 million fans. Well, Chad Kroeger isn't very happy about it. This weekend the fan page's creators started receiving messages from Kroeger threatening to have the fan page removed from Facebook.

What you see on TV isn't real!

Well, it's even less real that I thought... I never realized how many shots, even the most simple, actually used special effects and green screen. Watch this demo reel from Stargate Productions and you'll never see TV the same again:

Jay Leno's promo, re-edited

Have you seen the new Jay Leno promo for his return to the Tonight Show? It's the one where he's driving one of his douchy million dollar sports cars (because he's just like us!) and the song "Get Back" plays with the line "Get back to where you once belonged." It's obnoxious, self-serving and I'm not sure who's supposed to be excited about it...

However, if you slightly alter the soundtrack the commercial makes much more sense:

Olympic snowboarder sent home for shenanigans

Snowboarder Scotty Lago was sent home from the Olympics for having a little too much fun with his bronze medal. Lago was photographed sporting his Olympic bronze medal below the waist, with a female fan kissing the medal. The offending pic caused U.S. Olympic officials to go into spin control mode. Lago, who won bronze in the half-pipe, was given an ultimatum from the USOC: apologize and leave, or be ejected from the Olympic Village. Lago, chose the obvious and headed home. He tweeted this upon his return from the games:

"Got home this morning to all my homies," he said on his Twitter site. "Such a good Olympic experience. Keeping my medal in a safe spot for now haha."
