Signs Of The Apocalypse: Rush Limbaugh, Pageant Judge

Posted by Revelation 23 on October 18, 2009

Rush Limbaugh is no stranger to headlines lately, but it’s been focused on the possibility of becoming part owner of the St. Louis Rams, which is no longer an option for Limbaugh.  There had been a lot of speculation about what having him as an owner might mean for the team and the entire NFL, given his often controversial comments, among them the remark about quarterback Donovan McNabb (or rather, how the media covered him) that lead to his resignation from ESPN.

That’s not the only Rush Limbaugh news, but there’s something you may have missed while the debate over his possible NFL ownership went on (which hasn’t completely died off, now the blame game has started up), not to mention all the coverage “balloon boy” has received.

Rush is going to be a judge at the next Miss America pageant.

*sigh*

Maybe I’m being pessimistic, but I don’t think this isn’t going to end well.

Signs Of The Apocalypse: Gene Simmons’ Kidney Stone

Posted by Revelation 23 on June 5, 2009

Recently, Gene Simmons passed a kidney stone and decided to put it up on eBay for charity, raising $15,000.

Ummmm…. yeah.

Sure, it’s not tissue, fluids or anything, but I have to wonder if this is actually “allowed” under eBay policy.

Strangely enough, this isn’t the first kidney stone to raise cash; William Shatner sold a kidney stone in early 2006, raising $25,000 for Habitat For Humanity.

Signs Of The Apocalypse: Twitter On TV

Posted by Revelation 23 on May 26, 2009

A reality show that turns following celebrities on Twitter into a competition? Sounds like a GREAT idea.

Wait, isn’t that called stalking?

Signs Of The Apocalypse: The Tissue

Posted by Revelation 23 on December 18, 2008

Apparently Scarlett Johansson got a cold from Samuel L. Jackson while filming The Spirit.  Now, she’s auctioning off a used tissue for charity [USA Harvest] on eBay.

Eww.

A used tissue isn’t explicitly mentioned, but isn’t this something that would be against eBay policy?

As the time of this posting, the current bid is $2,151.00

Signs Of The Apocalypse: GNR vs. Dr Pepper

Posted by Revelation 23 on November 27, 2008

In another fine example that the lawyer will join the cockroaches after the fallout has settled, Guns N’ Roses has taken aim at Dr Pepper, claiming that the Dr Pepper Snapple Group failed to make good on its promise to give away Dr Pepper if Chinese Democracy was released this year.  Axl Rose seemed to not mind when it was announced, offering up words of support at the time.

The album was released and the company does intend to do what they said they would.  Unfortunately, they weren’t prepared for the overwhelming response and the website buckled under the strain, forcing Dr Pepper to extend the window of availability.

But the laywers are claiming that the promotion hurt the launch of Chinese Democracy and goes on to say that GNR’s rights were violated in the process.

WTF?

Isn’t there anything better to do than go after a soft drink maker?  And over this?

The Hoff + Social Networking = WTF?

It’s not?  Damn…

I’ll let this one speak for itself.  Click here to get your Hoff on.

Note, someone else owns the hoffspace.com domain, so The Hoff couldn’t use that instead…
