Feel Good Friday Video
Is it cool to use Chris Brown’s music after he beat up Rihanna? Or is it ok because he issued an apology?
Hot or Not? (Miles Edition)
So don’t be a perv. This is strictly asking whether or not I should take Miles down to central casting to get a Sears spread. Or maybe a Huggies commercial. Or even a funny viral video that pays. You know, so I can save for his college and invest in his future by getting a [...]

FartURL is the newest craze
Gadlin from Blewt has a new site he’s invented. It’s called www.farturl.com. It’s the same as tinyurl.com, but instead of tiny, it’s fart. Here’s the schadenfreude site – http://farturl.com/28rq. You should use this instead of tinyurl for all your tweets and FB status updates!

Bazer Show: Tom Skilling Reads Gina’s Book
Our buddy Mark Bazer does “The Interview Show” the first Friday of every month at the Hideout. Last month, he interviewed his wife, who authored the children’s book “Now Hiring: White House Dog“. Instead of reading passages from the book, he recruits famed weatherman Tom Skilling to professionally read the story. Classic bit:

This just in!

What should we do with chicagoimprovfestival.com?
Last night, we wanted to check out the CIF page to find out which friends were coming to town. Sandy typed in www.chicagoimprovfestival.com and we realized that it wasn’t the site (it is .org). And we also realized that nobody owned it. Seriously, it was unregistered. Memo to CIF: not a smart move. So we [...]
