Divorced By Text Message!!!

Check out the video here

This video apparently shows the exact moment that Kevin Federline gets the SMS from Britney telling them that it’s over. According to the video, cameras were following him around the entire day in order to conduct an interview, part of which was him gushing about his wife and kids.

At about 1:46, you can see as K-Fed’s soul gets crushed as Brit-Brit drops the text-bomb on him via Sidekick—that is a Sidekick, right? Being divorced over the phone, wow. The Federlines truly are were America’s royalty.

Mahir to Borat: I Sue You!

Nov 7th, 2006 Posted in Entertainment, humor | no comment »


WIRED: In the highly anticipated mockumentary Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan, second-world superstar Borat Sagdiyev (aka Sacha Baron Cohen of Ali G. fame) travels the US in search of love, understanding, and Pamela Anderson’s welcoming bosom. But Borat’s shtick –exquisitely inept English, caterpillar ’stache, sleazy non sequiturs – reminds us of another heavily accented, hirsute symbol of the sex: late-’90s Internet celebrity Mahir Cagri, whose Web site, www.ikissyou.org, implored women of the world to visit his native Turkey, “stay my home,” and, yes, kiss him.

Turns out, we’re not the only ones who noticed the similarities: “All people know Sacha Baron Cohen imitate only me,” Cagri recently fumed via email. “He is stealing my character and giving bad message to USA people.” Cagri, who’s been struggling to start a career in show business ever since his boom-era glory days, says he intends to sue Baron Cohen. “He never contacted me or got my permission,” he writes. “If possible you can help me too for stop this or find good lawyer?” Sorry, we can’t do that, but we can give Cagri the third degree – and let Wired readers be the judge.

WIRED: In the mock-doc, Borat is a globe-trotting journalist. Are you also a man of letters?
CAGRI: I do journalism as a freelancer sometimes. I go travel sometimes and take pictures-video-write, meet people for documentary.

Borat travels the US, examining American culture. Any memories from your visit in 1999?
I can’t forget party about me in San Francisco. Many people kissed me, took my signature, and took picture. America mix culture and big country, but people don’t think about other people. They love their own life only and fun-sex-game-drink.

Borat plays the guitar and sings Kazakh folk tunes. Are you also musically inclined?
I can play many instruments, but best I play accordion-flute-mandolin-violin-drum-and-saz (Turkish instrument). I like Cher and Shakira. Their voice and songs nice I like it.

Borat’s signature is his mustache. Didn’t you rock it first?
I start first grow mustache, 10 or 15 year ago. Sometimes, I been no mustache. I’m male and mustache shows a male mature.

Borat has his movie. Any plans for the Mahir Cagri story?
I’m trying to find USA publisher, and I hope I can receive good offer from Hollywood and play my own life and share with my fans, Julia Roberts, Spielberg, David Bowie, or others, this movie.

Mean squirrel attacks Pa. letter carrier

OIL CITY, Pa. - Letter carriers occasionally have to deal with angry dogs or maybe even a spider’s nest in a mailbox, but a mean squirrel? Barb Dougherty, a 30-year Postal Service employee, said she was attacked and bitten Monday by a squirrel while delivering mail in Oil City, about 75 miles north of Pittsburgh.

“It was a freak thing. It was traumatic,” Dougherty told The Derrick in Oil City. “I saw it there on the porch, put the mail in the box and turned to walk away and it jumped on me.”

The animal ran up her leg and onto her back, she said.

“I eventually got a hold of the tail and pulled it off me,” Dougherty said. “No one was home at the house where I was delivering the mail, but the neighbor lady heard me screaming and came over.”

KishKish Lie Detector for Skype

Nov 2nd, 2006 Posted in humor, nerd culture, science, technology, weird news | no comment »

KishKish, makers of SAM (Simple Answering Machine) for Skype, have now added a lie detector feature to the mix, claiming to detect stress in the voice of your Skype caller, alerting you to any bending of the truth.

It’s your $49.95 a year, but we’re thinking it’ll be another decade or two before voice stress analysis can absolutely detect if someone is lying to you. This thing could cause more problems than it solves. There’s good reason why this technology is not admissible in court. The video on the company’s website is quite entertaining, though, catching old Slick Willie in a lie about Monica Lewinsky.

I found this company uBreakup,that allows users to avoid the “is it because I’m a half-man overweight circus runaway” awkwardness of most breakup calls. You record your free message and schedule the smackdown for whenever you like. Now all the service needs is the uDrunkDialThemBackHorny service. That’d be a real winner.

Get Out Of Your Sprint Contract Free Until October 31

Oct 11th, 2006 Posted in humor, nerd culture, press, technology, toys | 2 comments »

Good news for anyone who wants to doff their Sprint shackles but was unwilling to pay an eye-gouging cancellation fee. See, Sprint’s just raised their text-messaging fees to $0.15 per, which constitutes a “material change” to your contract. Any time there’s a material change, you’re capable of canceling your service without facing a fine.

Good news for you, oh disloyal Sprint customer.

White House turns away “Kazakh reporter” Borat

Sep 29th, 2006 Posted in Entertainment, humor, movies, politics | no comment »

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Borat, the fictional TV reporter from Kazakhstan, may have gotten under the skin of Kazakh officials but on Thursday he couldn’t get past the gates of the White House.

Secret Service agents turned away British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen, in character as the boorish, anti-Semitic journalist, when he tried to invite “Premier George Walter Bush” to a screening of his upcoming movie, “Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan.”

Also invited to the screening:
O.J. Simpson, “Mel Gibsons” and other “American dignitaries.”

Cohen’s stunt was timed to coincide with an official visit by Kazakh President Nursultan Nazarbayev, who is scheduled to meet with Bush on Friday.

Nazarbayev and other Kazakh officials have sought to raise the profile of the oil-rich former Soviet republic and assure the West that, contrary to Borat’s claims, theirs is not a nation of drunken anti-Semites who treat their women worse than their donkeys.

Kazakhstan is expected to become one of the top 10 oil producers within a decade. A U.S. ally with troops in
Iraq, the country has drawn criticism for its deteriorating civil liberties and flawed elections.

Shortly after Nazarbayev dedicated a statue in front of the Kazakh embassy, Borat denounced an official Kazakh publicity campaign running in U.S. magazines as “disgusting fabrications” orchestrated by neighboring Uzbekistan.

“If there is one more item of Uzbek propaganda claiming that we do not drink fermented horse urine, give death penalty for baking bagels, or export over 300 tonnes of human pubis per year, then we will be left with no alternative but to commence bombardment of their cities with our catapults,” Borat said.
