The San Francisco Giants announce they will use cardboard cut outs instead of fans this season

Season ticket fans don’t get too excited about the MLB coming back just yet.

You probably still won’t be at the games.

This comes after the San Fransisco Giants commit to not allowing fans inside the stadium this year. Instead they plan to use cardboard cut outs.

I’m guessing this entire season is going to sound a lot like that game that the White Sox took on the Orioles in an empty stadium.

Things are gonna be QUIET.

But hey, baseball is back!

‘PTO bomb’ ready to blow

A story in the Trib got our attention with the partial headline “Employers brace for a ‘PTO bomb.” Personal time off, or vacation time, has gone largely unused this year. The numbers cited in the article say the percentages come out to 25% to 30% fewer days used than usual.

That in itself isn’t surprising. Who wants to burn vacation time when there’s nowhere to go? And then there’s that nagging fear of getting infected while in public. Beyond that, a vacation day might feel like a waste to those employees who are lucky enough to be working from home and already physically detached from their places of business. Then there’s the self-preservation perspective: As we’ve all watched people around us lose jobs because of the pandemic, there’s that added concern of not appearing to be “all in” during a time of crisis. Perception is reality in a lot of workplaces.

This all means that requests will likely stack up over the next few months. Experts tell the Tribune that a wave of “time off” requests is almost surely coming, since most companies have a “use it or lose it” stance on PTO.

Well, this is what most people are going to say…

Ford announced that they were set to unveil their new line of Broncos on July 9th, but they didn’t realize that was the same day as OJ Simpson’s birthday. So they decided to avoid the jokes and push back the unveiling until the 13th.

Twenty One Pilots want you to be a part of a “never-ending music video.”

Here’s an interesting concept.  Twenty One Pilots have created a never-ending music video.

If you hit up this site, you can watch the latest visual concept for “Level Of Concern” — after releasing both a live performance and version made entirely on 1980s Macs, in addition to the standard treatment that you can watch below.

Here’s how this endless loop works:  Every 3:40, the music video restarts — with all new fan videos put into the mix.  If you want to be a part of it, all you have to do is submit yours.  Be creative and cross your fingers — you might end up being internet famous.  — [eric]

Singing wife trolls husband with Alanis Morrisette for a month

When you are stuck in quarantine spending a lot of time around each other, you are bound to get on each other’s nerves or in this case, annoy the heck out of your partner by randomly singing Alanis Morrisette’s ‘Jagged Little Pill’ to them for a month. Yes, a month. That is what happened in this hilarious video from actress and singer Lisa Riefel who pestered her husband with lyrics, sometimes randomly in conversation or while he was doing chores. This video above was from a few weeks ago, but back in 2018 was when the we ought of known this was going to keep happening with grand results.

In 2018, Lisa drove Johnny nuts with the song for over a month.

Lisa and her husband Johnny are in the dance alt band KIllola who have been touring since 2003. If you like groups like Blondie and Garbage, this is right up your alley. Also give her other project, H. Kink a listen. They have some ridiculous music videos that have a real Tim & Eric vibe.

The Riefel family’s penchant for humor in music has already hit genuine viral fame earlier this year when young Jolee Dunn struck a chord with a seen-by-millions video in which she asks what is inside our butts. Inside Edition covered the story here.

Chuck E. Cheese parent company files for bankruptcy

It’s not looking good for the place “where a kid can be a kid” as the parent company of Chuck. E. Cheese is filling for bankruptcy due to economic hardship from the COVID-19 pandemic. CEC Entertainment, which owns the pizza/arcade chain, says it will close 34 locations that were open when the pandemic started as it files for Chapter 11 bankruptcy. They hope to shed some debt and come through serving good times for kids who don’t need smart phones to be entertained. USA Today reported that Chuck lost a lot of cheese recently, specifically 90% of its revenue, even as it tried to adjust to carry-out delivery food orders.

Yes, the pizza at Chuck E. Cheese has never been the biggest selling-point of the experience but there was a lot of mixed info online about the company using a completely different name on food delivery apps like GrubHub to get people to order food. Internet Today covered the ridiculous story of ‘Pasquali’s‘.

Remembering Aqua Teen Hunger Force

Cartoon Network has evolved a weird alternative brand of humor since the late 90’s with it’s Adult Swim block which now has a ferocious fan mob behind it with ‘Rick & Morty’ but back in the early 2000’s, the awkward whatever-happens ‘Aqua Teen Hunger Force’ with a floating box of fries, a wad of meat, and a foul-mouthed milkshake with a middle-aged junk-food fanatic neighbor. The show ran from 2001 to 2015, and even got a movie in 2007.

Cinemassacre does a joyously entertaining retrospective in this video on the show’s wild take on 2000’s pop culture and how it became one of the most unique dark comedic shows in TV history.
