Snoozing New Zealand Baby Left In Car with a Note

A New Zealand mother needed to do some shopping so she packed up the baby, headed off to the store. When she arrived at the store the car ride had put the baby to sleep. So the mother decided to leave the baby in the car with a note that read, "My mum is going the shopping. If I need anything call her.." and her cell phone number was listed.

People in the area gathered around the parked car with the baby in the window and instead of getting angry with the treatment of the baby, the felt for the mother. Saying things like, "this is a classic sign of a tired mother". 

The last time I read up on parenting, a crying restless baby is part of the results of you going all spread eagle in the bedroom. I understand sometimes you won't like your baby, but look - you decided to make the baby, you deal with everything that comes along with the baby. I feel sorry for the "tired" mother, but its part of the package. 

This is not only a sign of a "tired mother" its a sign of an inept generation having babies. 

Harry Styles Golden Thong

Have you seen the Harry Styles gold thong pic yet? I have it to say it's one of the wildest throwback photos of the One Direction guys we're seen yet.

Stranger than Harry sporting the golden thong? He's wearing it while ironing his boxer shorts underwear!

Hilarious.

Harry was snapped in the pic when he was 16 years old during his time on The X Factor in 2010.

What's the story behind the thong action? Harry says "My favorite party trick is to wear nothing but a gold thong in the house." He added, "My friend bought it for me for my birthday. The Belle Amie girls say I prance around the house in it. I'd say it's more of a slow gentle stroll."

I'm kind of hoping Harry has since retired the gold thong underwear trick now.

Woman Shames Cheating Husband

Holy heart break batman! Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned.

Clearly, a North Carolina woman was so outraged by her husbands infidelity, she decided to broadcast it via a billboard on a busy street in Greensboro, N.C.

I've gone on record that when a woman reacts like this, puts it all out there for the world to see is a result of one thing… that cheating lying dog of a husband was making her see angels in the bedroom. Think about it; would a woman who is unsatisfied be this adamant about a cheating husband? No. She would be hurt, but would realize after a few hundred glasses of champaign that the sex was so bad now she can find someone to make her toes curl. The infidelity was just her ticket out.

This North Carolina woman went to this extreme because her soon-to-be ex husband was giving her the businesses in the bed and she's pissed because "Jessica" is now getting the business. Thing is, when Michael cheats on Jessica she going to flip out too - cause the d*** must be good!

There's a lesson in this, don't base your marriages on your partners ability to make you scream. Cause when they leave your ass, you gone miss that loving.

ASU Drops New Sparky Amid Criticism

Arizona State University, in Tempe, AZ, has decided to scrap the new look of the schools mascot, "Sparky."

The university released an updated version of the costume on March 1 that was designed by an ASU alum who was an ex-Walt Disney Company illustrator.

The plan is for the new Sparky to make its first appearance during the annual ASU spring football game in April. On Tuesday, university officials announced that after receiving feedback it has decided not to change the official image of Sparky to the one released earlier this month.

Instead, the university said Tuesday it's developing an online program that will enable members of the Sun Devil community to pick the features of the costume's head and face. For example, the program is expected to offer a choice between maroon and black horns, different sizes and shapes for the eyes, face shape choices that include a less prominent chin, and options for the mustache and goatee, according to the university's news release. All features offered will be consistent with the identity of Sparky.

ASU officials said they'll continue to use the iconic 1946 drawing on facilities, banners and on some merchandise and apparel.  ASU spokesperson Terri Shafer said an updated, contemporary version of the character will be used in comic books, children's books, animated films and on merchandise and apparel designed to reach younger audiences.

Sparky has been the university's mascot for six decades and is a popular fixture at football games and promotes the university at other public events.

AETV "Bates Motel"

A&E did not let us down on this one folks. Bates Motel staring Vera Farmiga & Freddie Highmore premiered Monday March 18, 2013 to a tweet frenzy audience. #batesmotel instantly started trending on Twitter and I was in the front row.

When the show began, with me now knowing the Psycho series very well, I was a little lost. But that was all soon to change.

Once Norma, played by Vera Farmiga and Norman played by Freddie Highmore, made their first killing in the kitchen I was hooked. Literally on the edge of my seat while trying to maintain a conversation with the thousands that were tweeting about the show.

A&E did not hold back on this premier. With the first episode consisting of a rape and stabbing, then a sheriffs officer taking a leak inches from their first corpse to a body dumping river scene, A&E gave it to us.

Of course it took about 40 minutes into the show for the Chocolate Factory shtick to begin, but it died out and people on Twitter were all in a buzz once again.

Over all the premier episode has me locked in. The DVR is set. In addition, I have to give A&E some kudos for not blowing the shows entire plot in the promos. One thing I hate about new shows, the networks give you so much in the promos that you've pretty much watched the entire show outside of the script filler scenes. A&E gave it to us right and right from the beginning.

Thanks to everyone that joined me during the first every FatGuyRadioShow Tweet-Watch. We'll do it again soon.

Shameless UK

There I was on a Sunday evening. Clothes for the week prepared. Lunches made. It was officially my final moment of relaxation before returning to the hellish work week. Yet a moment of boredom took over. So quickly I sprang to my IPad, opened Netflix and went to my go to shows. Just to discovered I've watched every show, series, and seasons available. What's a man to do. I click on the search tab of Netflix and find the foreign tv and movie section. Never would I have imagined I'd find the most compelling show I've ever seen.

Folks, I found "Shameless"! Sounds familiar? Of course it does, because Shameless is a popular TV series on ShowTime®!

Nope, I'm not talking about that Shameless, I'm talking Shameless UK by Paul Abbott staring David Threlfall, Anne-Marie Duff, Jody Latham and Gerard Kearns.

Born an American and love some of American TV, I'm sorry I have to give a tip of the hat to our friends of the east… the UK. I've never been so riveted by a tv series before in my entire extistenace. I've never exposed myself to the creativity of foreign films and television shows. No wonder so many of our television shows are based off the original English version. They're right brilliant!

Shameless UK offers so many levels of complexity, intrigue, amazement, and wonder. Here's the kicker, I'm only at season 2 episode 3 on Netflix. I'm all in.

When a TV show can bring me to feel every emotion being portrayed by the brilliant actors, I must sing of its praises. The creator Paul Abbott must be a right genius.

If you haven't watched Shameless UK, get on it! Extremely recommended. You'll love it or your money back. Shameless UK by Paul Abbott.

I'm Paying For You to Do Nothing!

It's 1PM on a Wednesday afternoon. I leave my office to grab a bite for lunch. While standing outside the eatery I began just scanning the street corner I stood near. I observed a family that consisted of a little boy about 5 years of age, a baby in a stroller, a mother, and a father. I then adverted my eyes across this busy inner-city intersection and noticed another family consisting of the same. Then a thought entered my mind as I stood gazing at 100+ people just milling around appearing to have no agenda or job and they weren't homeless… Am I paying for all these people doing nothing?

Before you lash out at me, hear my point. I know that everyone I laid eyes on where not just milling around. They could have very well been doing the same thing I was, I just happened to catch them in a moment of lull. That being said; I took into consideration their clothing. Most of the men I saw where dress in clothes that would suggest they just got off the couch and was forced to walk to the store with their wife/girlfriend. None of these men appeared to be coming or going from a job.

To avoid having an explosion of racist comments, I will forgo mentioning their ethnicity. But I will say there was a commonality among them.

LG UK Elevator Prank

This would freak me the hell out. It's a creative way of marketing, but I'd die of a heart attack. Notice this would only be successful in the UK. That's why the people of the UK are so damn cool!

Check it out. The prank really kicks in around 0:43 in to the video.
(too bad the freeze frame gives it away)

Cheers!

Looks Equal Success

When you look around a corporate workplace, school or any where there's a ranking of power. Do you notice that people who are well kept are in successful positions?

When I say well kept, I'm talking people that eat healthy, workout, wear very nice clothes, are pretty or handsome.

I can understand good looking people having an advantage in hollywood, theater, or music. Sex sells. However, does that same rule apply in every day corporate America. I would have to say yes!

Most of the people I'm around on a regular basis, there is a clear drawn line between those that are in successful power positions verses those in mundane pencil pushing positions. The successful power players are very well put together, not overweight, extremely groomed. While the mundane pencil pushers are just clothed, many overweight and standardly groomed to where you can at least see their face.

Maybe I'm wrong, but looks can equal success. This is why I'm a radio talk show host and blogger.

This Was Once Great Country

Today I'm hearing and reading the celebrations of our stock market breaking a new record. It's the featured story on every major website, news network and trending on social media site.

However, this celebration is in vain and bleeds disgust. Are we so illicit to the uncontrollable dumbing down of America that rich people continue to get richer while starving kids are dying in the streets? Food banks shelves run empty. Domestic violence shelters are over crowed. The school system is laying off teachers and educators. But no, lets celebrate the rich getting richer.

Don't give me that bullSSSS about the rich start companies, which creates jobs, which effects our economy. If that's the case why are we still looking at an 7% unemployment rate?

My heart breaks for this once great country. A country where we celebrate riches, TV shows featuring pregnant teens, out of control college students, music that promotes violence, rape, anger, and killing. Yet we avert our eyes from our ailing seniors, broken healthcare system, abusive insurance companies, and homeless hard working families.

This was once a great country. A country where our elected government officials are more concerned about winning for their party than being less popular by doing what's right for the greater of the people.

This was once a great country.
