Man Trapped for 40 Hours in Elevator
Filed Under WTF?!?!?!, Huh???, Sucks for You | 1 Comment
Seriously?!?!? I would have lost my rightful mind! I felt so sorry for him, you could see all the emotions from fear/panic/defeat/calm. I wonder if he’s gotten on an elevator since? And SMH at someone putting that “broken elevator” sign up at the end. Ya think?
According to the description from this video:
Trapped: 40 Hours In An Elevator….timelapse…true story.
CCTV:Nicholas White was a thirty-four-year-old production manager at Business Week. He was working late on a special assignment and wanted a cigarette. He told a colleague that he’d be right back and, leaving his jacket behind, headed downstairs. Thus commenced the longest smoke break of Nicholas White’s life, a harrowing experience that began at around eleven o’clock on a Friday night in October, 1999.The Business Week offices were located on the forty-third floor of the McGraw-Hill Building in mid-town Manhattan. When White finished his cigarette, he returned to the lobby, got into Car No. 30 and pressed the button marked 43. The car accelerated. It was an express elevator, with no stops below the thirty-ninth floor, and the building was deserted. But after a moment, White felt a jolt. The lights went out, immediately flashed on again and then the elevator stopped.
This happened in 1999 but this footage has only recently been made available…

I’m sitting in the lobby at the Westin Copley Place in Boston. You would think that I wouldn’t have to fight that hard to get internet access, especially since I’m here for a web design conference. But it seems the only way I can get any access is to be in the lobby.
My company decided that they only wanted to pay for the room (as is their right). And unfortunately, I managed to forget the only source of monetary liquidity (did I lose you? I mean, I left my debit/credit card at home and therefore I am assed out).
So therefore, I am not allowed to charge anything to my room even though they made me write out a $150 deposit (damn well better be refundable). The cleaning lady even came in and locked up my mini-bar… like I was really checking for a $3 bag of M&Ms anyway.
So, I’m sitting in the lobby, in my PJ’s, my hair in two messy ponytail braids, one sandal on and one off, trying to tune out the new-age music drifting from the lobby speakers and desperately trying to tune out the annoying pulsing and screeching of the techno coming from their “hip after-hours” lounge and hoping and praying that I don’t meet my future husband while looking like this.
All so I can access the internet…
Conflicted.

Can I just say that I was disappointed to find out what Flo Rida looks like?
I had been trying my hardest to avoid his song “Low”, but living in Florida (and attempting to listen to urban radio) makes it 99.9% impossible.
Anyway, curiosity killed the cat and I wanted to see who it was that was responsible for the “she had them Apple Bottoms jeans, boots with the fur” line that was looping through my head.
I was expecting a Rich Boy/Hurricane Chris/Soulja Boy look-a-like. And I got this. Damn it all, he’s kinda cute and swole, too.
The voice does not match the image.

What in the hell is really up with Amy Winehouse?
How It was Sung at the MTV Europe Awards:
How It Should Sound:
Wow. Wow. Wow.
That made Britney’s VMA performance look like the best thing ever…
And God bless the backup singers and dancers and musicians for continuing on with that…
I would have knocked the mic stand over, “Yahh Bitch Yahh”-ed her and and walked off the stage…
I Need to Figure Out How To Do This!

I have a love-hate relationship with Bill O’Reilly.
There’s this morbid fascination to figure out what he is doing or what subliminal messages FauxNews is using or what chemicals that they are pumping into the water supply that makes him so damn popular.
Then he opens his mouth and says something so overtly ignorant that I get a mini-temptation to throw something at him. Do you hear yourself?
Case in point, this lovely gem from Bill talking about dining with Al Sharpton at Sylvia’s in Harlem.
“There wasn’t one person in Sylvia’s who was screaming, ‘M-Fer, I want more iced tea.’ You know, I mean, everybody was — it was like going into an Italian restaurant in an all-white suburb in the sense of people were sitting there, and they were ordering and having fun. And there wasn’t any kind of craziness at all.”
What?! Bill. Shut the f–k up and go sit down somewhere.
Ridiculous. This man has an average of 2-3 million people tuning in to hear his opinions each week.

**EDIT**
I went back and read the transcript for that entire line of conversation. It could have been a much more neutral conversation. But still, I guess ignorance will win over common sense more often than not.
Michael Jackson’s Comeback?
Filed Under WTF?!?!?!, Huh???, Michael Jackson | 3 Comments
So reportedly, MJ has been planning a comeback for 15 years.
According to SOHH:
“Michael Jackson can’t leave the game alone. The King of Pop is reportedly plotting his return to music with a new album and a tour that may include his starlet sister, Janet.”
Uh-huh.
“This is something Michael is carefully planning,” a source close to Jackson told the Sun-Times. “I think the album is going to be amazing. From what I’ve heard, it will be as big as Thriller — and yet will take his music in a new direction to appeal to new, younger fans — but will still have those Michael touches his traditional fans love.”
As big as Thriller? You’re out of your ever-lovin’ mind.
But anyway, there was a track leaked that some are claiming is MJ’s new single. Take a listen for yourself.
According to TMZ, it’s this white guy (but I thought Mike was white now), Jason Malachi, who sounds shockingly similar to Mike.
You be the judge. I can definitely hear the resemblance, but could it also be Mike trying to gauge audience reactions?
What do you think?
I feel bad every time I post that picture 
But not bad enough not to post it…

I mean it. I am sick to my stomach. I just can’t believe that 1) people would do this and 2) people would do this because of someone’s race.
From the Charleston Gazette:
Carmen Williams doesn’t understand why her 20-year-old daughter was tortured, raped and tied up in a shed.
Police tell her that what happened was probably a hate crime, that it happened because Megan Williams is black.
“Every time they stabbed her, they called her ‘nigger,’” her mother said.
…
She said a man and a woman — who Megan Williams thought were her friends — took her to the house of Frankie Lee Brewster in Pecks Mill, Logan County.
Megan Williams was held in the house for about a week, police said.
According to criminal complaints filed against six people in this case, she was beaten, stabbed, choked, sexually assaulted and threatened with death.
The details are even more horrible. According to the complaints, she was forced to eat dog and rat feces and to lick up blood. She was made to lick parts of Brewster’s body, under the threat of death. Her hair was pulled out. She was made to drink from the toilet. She was sexually assaulted while hot water was poured on her body, and while a man held a knife to her.
A woman allegedly cut Megan Williams’ ankle and said, “That’s what we do to niggers around here.”
…
Megan Williams was found Saturday at Brewster’s house. Police, acting on a tip, went to the residence to check on a female who was reportedly being held against her will, according to the criminal complaint filed in Logan County Magistrate Court.
“Frankie was sitting on her front porch with her door open. We asked Frankie who else was at the residence and she stated no one else was here, that she was alone,” according to the complaint. “As she was talking, she got up and stepped toward her door when a female inside the residence limped toward the door with her arms out, saying, ‘help me.’ ”
The woman, Megan Williams, had four stab wounds in her left leg. Her eyes are bruised.

*sigh* Britney… I was actually rooting for you… I mean anyone with a year as crappy as you have had (even though you caused most of it) deserves a little ray of sunshine. Say, for instance, people remembering a time when you were famous for entertaining rather than showing off your cooch or utlizing public restrooms in your bare feet.
I just want to know why she looks so bored? Trust me, we were just as bored if not more than you were. LOL at all the celebs’ reactions. They look just as confused as the rest of us.
Found the vid on The PopCulture Junkie.
Take a look before Viacom yanks it.
Or don’t. You’re not really missing much.
***UPDATE***
And then it’s gone. I was wondering how long it would actually stay up. Answer: about 15 hours. Viacom, get on your game. You should have ripped it down quicker.
Anyway, if you insist on being bored, I’m sure you can find the video somewhere online… I’m not so inclined to find it again.
