Chicken Wing Shortage May Ruin Your Super Bowl!

Just in case you haven't heard, it was reported earlier this week that there is expected to be a chicken wing shortage come Super Bowl Sunday. (I waited this long to tell you so I could see you panic!) So if you want your wings, you better be safe and try to get them today.

Pilgrim's Pride Corp. filed for bankruptcy back in early December, which doesn't sound like much of an issue because you've probably never heard of them. You just know you love to stuff your face at Buffalo Wild Wings and Hooters. However, Pilgrim's Pride supply around one quarter of the 24 billion wings that were eaten last year.... Yeah, pretty heavy.... (insert Marty McFly/Doc joke here) The shortage has really affected wing production and has also driven up prices.

So get your wings now peeps and get ready for a Cardinal Super Bowl win! (Don't put your money on it, but that's who I'M picking!) Because about 5% of all wings in this country will be eaten tomorrow......... Just be sure to run about 100 miles afterwards. Lifting the remote during commercials doesn't count!

New Zealand Jail Breakers Blooper

Watch this video from New Zealand as two prisoners escape, handcuffed together, only to run straight into a pole. Classic blooper. This happened earlier this week!

Is Joaquin Phoenix Rap A Media Stunt?

It was just a few years ago when Joaquin Phoenix was winning golden trophies for his portrayal of Johnny Cash in Walk The Line. Now, either Joaquin has been bitten by the Hollywood crazy bug, or he's one of the slickest media attention grabbing stars out there.

Joaquin, who now looks nothing like he used to, donning a mad crazy beard that makes Grizzly Adams jealous, is considered by many to be the latest pop star gone mad.
Good ol' Grizzly

Watch the videos below as he raps earlier this month in a Vegas nightclub. Most of you have probably seen it, but I am still pretty dumbfounded that it's the same man who did an ingenious Johnny Cash. Especially after Phoenix falls off the stage following his rap....as if drunk.

While his friends claim it's all an elaborate hoax, Phoenix swears that he is turning his back on acting to try to reinvent himself as a legitimate and respected rapper.


Check out the videos below and please leave your comments. What do you think he is up to? Is he a hoax? Or is he fo' real?

I think it's probably a mixed bag. Nobody, well....most people.. are not this crazy. He has to know what he is doing to some extent.

Beware Of Zombies In Texas!

Austin Texas is either having problems with the dead rising from the grave, or hackers with a sense of humor that like to play games. As entertaining as it would be to see a real-life Michael Jackson "Thriller" video hitting the streets of A-town, the "Zombies Ahead" sign is due to the latter.

Fox reports the sign was hacked on January 19 by someone clever, yet unknown. Although if you get caught it's a prettttyyy hefty fine. But c'mon... you're driving to work at 6:00 AM on a cruddy January day... This would totally make me laugh out loud. Plus it's more fun, creative, and safer than graffiti. Nice work Zombie man.

Super Bowl Ad Too Sexy For TV

NBC rejected a Super Bowl ad from PETA that depicts women gettin their "love on" with vegetables. The point: that people supposedly have better sex lives when they eat more greens..... or....pumpkins....evidently.............any vegetable....

Of course guys are thinking, "that makes me really want to eat more asparagus!" But what do women think? What would a parent of a youngster think?

Go ahead and click on the pic to go to the site where you can see the video, and decide for yourself. I must say, this may be a little too hot to handle. It's pretty obvious a bunch of guys made the spot. And although it is puurreettty sexy, it might not be appropriate for the Super Bowl. So friends, parental discretion is advised!... or whatever NBC would say before something scandalous...

But enough rambling. Did NBC get this right? Did PETA go too far? You decide!

14 Year Old Boy Poses As Chicago Police Officer

As ridiculous as it sounds, a 14 year old Chicago teenager walked into a police precinct, got designated for assignment, and didn't get noticed as a fake until the end of the day when another officer realized that the boy had a fake badge on.

The eighth grader is an aspiring police officer and this is the third time he's been caught impersonating one; only this time he actually went on a real traffic patrol.

Sounds like we have a real-life "Fletch" on our hands! The kid committed a serious crime. But wow, talk about guts. Obsessive and crazy?....yes. But still gutsy. The real question is how in the heck an 8th grader can get through the security system at a Chicago police department?! Maybe Governor Blagojevich had something to do with that too. Ha.

Read the full article from the Chicago Tribune here.

Catch the trailer for Fletch here. Classic Chevy Chase.

The Super Bowl Shuffle Celebrates Anniversary

It's officially been 23 years since the Bears hit the studio and released their "Super Bowl Shuffle" following their Super Bowl win over the Patriots in 1986. To this day, it has to be one of the greatest sports videos of all-time, if not the greatest. And i'm not even a Bears fan.

So in honor of the anniversary, here she is! The Super Bowl Shuffle. (Also be sure to watch for Maury Buford's cowbell. Righteous)
