Watch Youtuber live inside virtual reality for a week

March 15, 2019 | Kevin

The video has been viewed millions of times since it was uploaded about a week ago, and it’s created some real discussion about how much technology can take over and change our lives in very challenging way. Youtube channel Disrupt created the controversial documentary in which ‘Jak’ lives his entire life for an entire week inside this immersive yet inorganic world with headset actually cutting him off from the real world. It shows off how this type of tech on how it can let us live more connected lives in a way we may have never imagined, which is also scary to consider in some ways.

Now obviously you are asking how does he go to bathroom or shower? Some of that is explained but it’s an interesting to watch how he does it and what it shows for a life that could very much be a part of our collective future.

Would you want to do this? Are we in a way already doing with the time we all spend online or on our phones?

Pilot buys burgers for all 70 passengers stuck on tarmac

March 14, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

This is the type of pilot you wish you had.

A Mesa Airlines flight from Tulsa, Oklahoma to Huston sat on the tarmac for two-and-a-half hours. But the Captain Matthew Hoshor went out of his way to cheer everyone up by buying the passengers burgers out of his own pocket.

Captain Hoshor bought 70 passengers burgers from Fat Guy’s Burger Bar, which is a nearby joint in Tulsa.

A passenger, Sam Walker, tweeted out the kind gesture.

According to the site each Fat Guy Burger costs $6.99, and without tax, tip, or delivery fees that’s $489.30! With tax, this was well over $550.

Now, this pilot knows how to give great customer service.

Tom DeLonge will search for UFO’s on the History Channel

March 13, 2019 | Kevin

Former Blink-182 guitarist/singer Tom DeLonge has been fascinated with aliens and UFO’s for years, which prompted him to launch his own research group/production company called To The Stars Academy. Now that pursuit for what’ s really out there has gotten the attention of the History Channel. The cable channel confirmed in a press release this week covered by AV Club, that they will launch a six-part series with DeLonge’s group called ‘Unidentified: Inside America’s UFO Investigation’. It’s not clear when the show will air but it will feature ex-military and aerospace professionals who claim to have worked for the Pentagon’s Advanced Aerospace Threat Identification Program.

Meanwhile Blink-182 which now has Alkaline Trio’s Matt Skiba in their ranks, is working on a new album in the works.

Did Jonas Brothers rip off Portugal. The Man?

March 13, 2019 | Web Team

Many fans have been quick to point out the likeness between Portugal. The Man\’s 2017 song \”Feel it Still\” and the brand new 2019 Jonas Brothers song \”Sucker\”.

Even Potbelly is weighing in on the controversy…

In response, PTM band tweeted that \”the chorus of Feel It Still sounds very similar to Please Mister Postman by the Marvellettes… Which we respectfully cleared and thanked them for every chance we got. As one does.\” Indicating that the JoBros (I can\’t believe I just typed that) should have acknowledged their inspiration, instead of passing it off as a completely original track.

That being said, it doesn\’t appear as though they\’re going to challenge the Brothers to a duel to the death:

As of now, the Jonas Brothers haven\’t commented on the accusation.

Listen to both tracks and decide for yourself…copy or coincidence? 🤔

Drunk driver claimed that “Deadpool” was driving

March 13, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

A Wisconsin man wrecked his car when he decided to drink and drive, he tried to claim he wasn’t the real driver. Apparently, the real driver was Ryan Reynolds from the ‘Deadpool’ movies.

The 45-year-old, Brandon Ingram, from Wausau, Wisconsin must have run out of excuses since this was his SEVENTH time getting caught.

Ingram’s blood alcohol level was about twice the legal limit.

Even though he admitted to being drunk he still tried to claim he wasn’t the real driver. Nice try?

He’s currently facing a fine up to $25,000 because he’s a repeat offender.
Don’t drink and drive people.

Barber hands out condoms with his business cards… but you shouldn’t use them

March 13, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

This barber, Jake, gives out condoms with his business cards, might seem like a nice gesture but there is one issue.

Do you spot the big issue?

If not, we strongly recommend not to use the condoms he gives you because he pokes two holes through them with the staple. Which defeats the point of even using condoms!

Also makes you question his ability to cut hair.. but he did put some examples of his work which shows he does have the talent.

But we think he should just stick to hair instead of stapling condoms.
Let’s hope he reads his twitter responses, maybe then it’ll stop him from wasting condoms.

Man gives up EVERYTHING for Lent….except beer.

March 12, 2019 | Eric

I’m not sure this is how it works, but for Lent….a man has decided to give up everything…..and live solely on beer.

As explained by The Takeout, this isn’t too far out of line.  It IS true that monks used to brew a special bock-style beer during Lenten season, but was it the SOLE means of sustenance during that 40-day period?  Probably not.  But it sure makes the monastery sound like a sick party crib.

I’m willing to try to live on Q Street Alternative IPA alone.  But I’ll need a get-out-work-free card for each of my jobs….and no one should expect much out of me for a few days.  — [eric]

Wealthy Parents Accused of Paying to Get Their Children Into Elite Colleges

Wealthy Parents Accused of Paying to Get Their Children Into Elite Colleges

\”There can be no separate college admissions system for the wealthy and, I\’ll add, there will not be a separate criminal justice system either\”
– Andrew Lelling, District of Massachusetts U.S. attorney

A college preparatory business is accused of helping students from affluent families cheat on standardized tests, bribing university staff members, and more. In some cases, they supposedly even photoshopped students into stock sports photos to fabricate athletic records. The implicated parents included two actresses (Felicity Huffman and Lori Loughlin), numerous CEOs, and a fashion designer.

According to the New York Times, \”it was the Justice Department’s largest ever college admissions prosecution, a sprawling investigation that involved 200 agents nationwide and resulted in charges against 50 people in six states.\”

Many on twitter suggested the parents be forces to help pay off student loans:

Now that\’s an idea I can get behind.

What types of adult entertainment are women searching for? (mostly SFW)

March 12, 2019 | JVO

Note: While no profanity is used in this data-based post, some of this content may offend certain readers. You know who you are.

We’re coming to this story a bit late, but the data’s still worth sharing. Pornhub released Google Analytics-sourced data on what types of porn women around the world are searching for. Across the U.S. (Illinois and Indiana included), the most-viewed category is “Lesbian,” which also happens to be the most popular in North America, South America and Australia. Our friends up north in Wisconsin have “Threesome” at the top of their list.

Compared to the national average, Illinois women are more likely to view content from the “feet” category, while both Indiana and Wisconsin women are more likely to view from the “small ****” category.

Compared to the national average, Illinois women are more likely to search for “ebony lesbians.” Indiana women are more likely to search for “daddy.”

Also, “My Little Pony” is a big search term for the women of Idaho. Maybe that’s information we didn’t need to have.

Chicago’s the No. 1 city to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day

March 12, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

We are just a few days away from St. Partick’s Day!

That means WalletHup has released its annual ranking of the best cities to celebrate in, and their #1 pick for 2019 is… CHICAGO!
This is the second year in a row being the #1 city to celebrate in, but they aren’t wrong.

The rankings are based on the number of Irish pubs and restaurants per capita to hotel prices and the forecast. So even with our cold weather we still come up number 1.

Here are their top ten cities to celebrate in:

  1. Chicago
  2. Philadelphia
  3. Madison, Wisconsin
  4. Boston
  5. Tampa
  6. Naperville Illinois
  7. New York
  8. Pittsburgh
  9. Rockford, Illinois
  10. Dayton, Ohio

Oklahoma City has the cheapest bees, El Paso is slated to have the best weather, and Pittsburgh has the best access to bars.

But Illinois still has 3 cities in the top ten, we know how to celebrate.

Woman posts awful ‘tips’ a guy sent her after a bad Tinder date

March 12, 2019 | kimberlykaczmarek

24-year-old Kimberley Latham-Hawkesford went on a bad date a few months ago, and out of the blue, she received a list of things he didn’t like about her.

He presented it as a list of “tips” detailing how she could self-improve and sent these horrible messages 3 MONTHS after a date.

Here’s the post Kimberley put onto Facebook:

He even said he’d check in with her a month after sending the message to see if she had implemented them. Saying he would then “consider” going on a second date if she changed.

People like this are pure trash.

“In this house, I’m not Uncle Phil…I’m the law.”

March 11, 2019 | Web Team

Bel-Air is Sun Squared Media\’s much darker take on the The Fresh Prince storyline – starting with a gun being found in Will\’s backpack after a guy \”up to no good, started making trouble in his neighborhood\”. The short, cinematic clips feature portrayals of many of the iconic characters such as Uncle Phil, Aunt Viv, Carlton Banks, and (of course) Will Smith.

Unfortunately, no feature length film is set to follow the incredible fan trailer…but we wish there were. Netflix, can you please make this happen?

Weezer is giving “Buddy Holly” the barbershop quartet treatment on tour.

March 11, 2019 | Eric

On a recent appearance with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, Weezer threw down this barbershop quartet-style version of “Buddy Holly.”  (Side note: can one actually throw down while wearing vertical stripes, bow ties, and a straw hat?)

The follow up?  They now appear to be opening all their sets on the current tour with this version, too.

Here’s a video a fan snagged at a recent appearance in Columbia as proof.  More on this from AltPress, too.  — [eric]
