Oscar Meyer is testing a hot dog-flavored ice cream sandwich. The “Ice Dog” is described as “hot dog sweet ice cream” containing “candied hot dog bits” and topped with “spicy Dijon gelato.” What’s more, it comes in a “cookie bun.” They’re testing it out in New York first, handing them out from the Weinermobile to likely-to-be-perplexed random citizens. That said, add some “candied neon relish,” and we might be interested.
The Alamo Drafthouse is holding a “clowns-only” screening for It: Chapter Two. This isn’t a new concept; they did it for the last “It” movie in 2017. This time around, locations in 11 cities will participate in what Alamo describes as a “dose of coulrophobia immersion therapy.”
The website lays out the rules:
“Please come dressed as a clown – the wig, the makeup, the oversized pants and suspenders, the blood-curdling makeup – and sit through this coulrophobia-inducing fright fest with a theater full of fellow… clowns.”
Gibson seems to be under scrutiny, and for good reason!
A video recently leaked of them destroying hundreds of usable guitars. Warning, it’s hard to watch.
According to a former employee, Gibson chose to destroy a large amount of Firebird X guitars, when the model was met with poor sales.
Seeing the video spread online got people wondering why they didn’t just donate the guitars to a worthy cause. It seems they addressed those concerns in a statement, asserting that the video represented “an isolated batch of Firebird X models built in 2009-2011 which were unsalvageable and damaged with unsafe components. This isolated group of Firebird X models were unable to be donated for any purpose and were destroyed accordingly.”
Seems like Gibson is also trying to cover up the issue by saying how they’ll give away a guitar a day for the next 1,000 day.
Nice try Gibson, but the damage has been done, you will have to do a LOT of sucking up.

Snickers has pledged to give away 1 million candy bars if the official date of Halloween is changed to the last Saturday in October.
A Thursday Halloween? Not Satisfying. Halloween on the last Saturday of October? Satisfying. If the Fed Govt makes it official, we’ll offer 1 million free SNICKERS to America. Join the petition! https://t.co/EycXXuc0tB

Seems that some people believe Halloween would be better if it was moved to the last Saturday of October, over 100,000 have signed a petition for it.
The Halloween & Costume Association, who created the petition, say it’s fine to leave Halloween on the 31st. They just want the official day of trick-or-treating to be on the last Saturday of October to increase the fun and the safety of Halloween for families.
“National Trick or Treat Day will take place annually on the last Saturday of October so families across the country can participate in community parades, throw neighborhood parties, and opt for daytime Trick or Treating,” the petition says. “We will launch the #ALLoween campaign designed to support the all-day celebration of National Trick or Treat Day AND the time-honored traditions of Halloween on October 31st.”
Seems like their reasons for it might be less on fun and safety, and more for sales.
They aren’t the only candy company who would like to see the change happen.

It seems two neighbors in Edgewater have gotten into a spat.
So here’s the story:
One neighbor lost a dog and when the rescuer tried to return the dog, the owner pulled a baseball bat on him!
So as revenge he flung bags of his dog’s poops on his front porch.
The attacker didn’t notice for months until he eventually caught his neighbor in the act and this time he attacked him.
The guy who got beat up, Guy Stehley, is plastering signs around the neighborhood looking for witnesses to the incident.
Stahley suffered a few bumps and bruises but doesn’t know if he wants to press charges admitting throwing poops was a little immature.
Maybe the guy shouldn’t have come out with a bat when he was just returning his dog to him in the first place!
You can learn more about the story on Block Club Chicago‘s website.
Let’s hope these childish games end before someone else does something way worse.
After 221 failed dates and four broken off engagements, this woman finally gets married… to her dog.
Yes, Elizabeth Hoad decided she was over getting hurt by men and decided it was best if she tied the knot with her golden retriever.
She even did it live on daytime TV.

Death Cab for Cutie dropped a new single today called “Kids in ’99” that teases a new 5-track release ‘the Blue EP’ due out on September 6th. This EP follows the themes of last year’s ‘Thank You for Today’ album. This new song is quite emotional as it reflects on a tragic pipeline gas explosion in the band’s hometown of Bellingham, Washington that killed two boys, ages 10 and 18. The song touches on the literal loss of these people, and loss of innocence. Maybe they will play this tune this week during their Lollapalooza set or their SOLD-OUT Lolla Aftershow at Metro, you can win your way into that after show here.
The Blue EP Tracklist:
01. To the Ground
02. Kids in ‘99
03. Man in Blue
04. Before the Bombs
05. Blue Bloods
DCFC stopped by the Lounge last year to record this moving acoustic session which featured intimate performances of ‘Goldrush’, ‘Title and Registration’, and ‘Your Hurricane’.
Willem Dafoe and Robert Pattinson star in “The Lighthouse,” an upcoming movie from Robert Eggers, the guy behind “The Witch.” Horror site Bloody Disgusting reviewed it at Cannes and said, “This is certainly a film that will stick around in people’s heads for a long, long time.”
Even Facebook has doubts about it’s planned cryptocurrency known as Libra. In its latest quarterly report, it says it can’t guarantee Libra “will be made available in a timely manner, or at all.” Facebook expects to launch the Libra digital currency in 2020, but has so far experienced a lot of pushback from U.S. and international regulators and lawmakers.
Until yesterday, Uber had a 1,200-person strong marketing department, but in an effort to trim costs and make operations more efficient, they’ve cut about a third of that team. The layoffs, first reported by The New York Times, follow first-quarter losses of $1 billion and are among the latest cost-driven changes to occur at the company since it went public in May. Last month, chief operating officer Barney Harford and chief marketing officer Rebecca Messina stepped down as part of an organizational shakeup.
Even the sharks know that it’s Shark week!
This past Saturday in Jacksonville, Florida 23-year-old professional surfer Frank O’Rourke was knocked off his surfboard by a three to four-foot shark.
During the struggle, the shark took a decent bite out of the surfer’s arm.
Shortly afterward he was treated by a lifeguard and his friend RJ Berger, had the attack on video, said the bite was pretty bad and that he could’ve gotten a few stitches.
After the incident, RJ said “He immediately went to a bar because he was like, ‘hey, I got bit by a shark,’ and people were like, ‘I’ll buy you drinks.’ So he hung out at the pier.”
Although he got attacked, at least he got a sweet story and some free drinks out of it. Maybe even helped him with the ladies!
If you didn’t know, Kanye West does a special Sunday Service.
During this past weekends service, the rapper and his choir performed a few songs from Nirvana. But they added in some new gospel lyrics to the songs.
You can hear the choir sing “Come As You Are” and “Smells Like Teen Spirit”, with new lyrics like “Let your light shine, it’s contagious / here we are now, inspiration.”
