Yo-Yo Prankster

I love a good prank. And this my fine ladies and gents is a doozy! This dude convinced 5 news stations that he is a Yo-Yo master and to allow him to come on their show live to showcase his mad "yo-yo skills". They done got hornswoggled, trolled, slipped a mickey, hoodwinked and flim flammed. Watch as he bamboozles several anchors:





The jig should have been up when he started to "over share".

"I've been divorced twice...don't have a girlfriend...don't want one". I lolled heartily when he got on the phone with his dad and said "I love you". This just illustrates two points very clearly:

1) We all know those problem-proned over sharers. You know the ones. They tell you about their chronic case of irritable bowel syndrome and their lengthy custody battle within the first few minutes of meeting. These anchors just slipped into the mode we all slip in when we deal with folks like this. Just nod and smile politely yet awkwardly.

2) News stations obviously don't check sources. This gives me a really good idea to request to be on their show and showcase my psychic abilities. Do I have psychic abilities? No. But I can certainly tell a few yarns. I can throw a few "this year will be a good year for you in love" or "I'm getting a J....does that ring a bell...J?".

People believe what they want to believe and in this case they really wanted to believe that he was a sick yo-yo-ist that was doing it for the kids and charity and butterflies. Someone should have hopped on Google the minute he turned his 8 yo-yo's into a sick roflcoptor. With Google we are all investigatory journalists...or ugh...stalkers. Hats off to Yo-Yo guy!

Sylvia Browne gets pwned

I'm interested in ESP and all that jazz....but the vast majority are frauds. Noone has has ever definitively demonstrated it under rigourous testing. Here's that man-voiced Sylvia Browne getting roflcoptored on the Montel Show. Watch the backpeddling. I can't beleive people have paid for her services.

Chris Brown reads a teleprompter

Soooo Chris Dinkus Brown is begging us all to buy his albums again. He has finally publicly apologized for beating Rihanna's face in. I believe him...I believe everything celebrities tell me 'cause they are better then all of us. They poop pure solid gold bricks. Imagine scientists got the same amount of fame for doing real work? The dude's at the Hadron Collider would have mad groupies. "Oh Dr. So and So...is that a particle accelerator in your pocket? Oh wait, no. You're just happy to see me"
