Last known Titanic tickets sold at British Auction

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:21:00 +0000

Appreciate the gesture but making money off the dead is not my kind of thing. It's a memorabilia for crying out loud. Plus it may be one of those precious things your relatives leaves behind for larger-than-life stories for your next generation. Why sell off such things? Do people not value such personal items anymore? Jeez.

Charges dropped against Italian underwear-less man

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 13:11:00 +0000

It pays to be obese at times. Gives you ample reasons to go commandos. Why do people freak out when it is done by a man? Imagine the same thing with a female. Even if she hot or visually unappealing, people still look the upskirt. Admittedly, not everyone but perverts do. Usually it's the moral-friendly parents or females who freak out at such instances. It's normal to have your balls hanging out, you know.

Marvel Super Heroes Theme Park in Dubai

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:38:00 +0000

I guess that since Dubai is a pro-modern Islamic nation, it's alright to have such things there. Now imagine the same scenario in other Islamic nations. All over favourite male superheroes with turbans and our female superheroes in burqas and they will be labeled as Halal. No offence to the Muslim community. I am only here to poke some fun.

Whack! News Update: No Updates Here!

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Wed, 23 Apr 2008 12:35:00 +0000

Oh my, it has been five days since my last post. I do apologize. Have been caught up with some things and trying to find more ways to bring in the bacon. So without any further delay, there is nothing else to read in this post. Look out for the next posts!

Whack! News Poll

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:42:00 +0000

In view of the increased visitors I have been having lately, (not much, I know, but I am still proud of people visiting this pretty new site, so thank you to everyone!) I just wish to know what kind of news format you people would like to see more here. I know the poll is right up there for everyone to see but some of you might miss it. I know, I've had my blonde moments too. If you do see it and participate, then that's good. At least, in that way, I'd know what my visitors want to see. So start polling!

P.S. It is at my sole discretion to decide what type of news format will be put up but I will try to appease my visitors' requests as well. So thank you all and do keep dropping by.

P.P.S. If anyone is interested in contributing other whacked news articles/images/videos or wish to be a guest poster, kindly let me know by leaving a comment in this post. I only require people with a good grasp of the English language and a sense of humor. And oh, it will also help if you're a whacky, zany toot. Thanks.

P.P.P.S. Huh? Oh. Okay.

Whack! News Special: Giraffes get married in Rio

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:30:00 +0000

Two giraffes tied a knot in a Rio de Janeiro zoo in Brazil much to the delight of zoo officials and visitors. It says they have been courting for a month and finally decided to tie the knot? Huh? How? I understand the zookeeper can study the animals' 'courtship' for a month and gauge they'e in love. But how did he/she know that they decided to tie the knot? The giraffes communicated their interest to the zookeeper? If so, how? Someone, please enlighten me on this!

Fire breathing and sword swallowing 101

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:25:00 +0000

The Circus Sideshow School in Coney Island has been teaching students to spit fire and swallow swords since 2002. Students go on to perform in clubs, state fairs, traveling circuses or show intermissions after completing the 1 week course.

Oh man, I want to sign up for this course too! I cannot image the number of girls I can impress with my fire breathing and sword swallowing skills. I'll be an instant hit! Plus ladies, you can improve your, ahem, other skills too, if you know what I mean.

Pillow Fight!

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:18:00 +0000

Thousands gather at New York City's Union Square for World Pillow Fight Day. Manhattan's event was hosted by Newmindspace, whose goal is to promote unity by making use of public spaces.

Hey anyone from the US attended this bizarre event? Anyone else from anywhere else heard about this? I think it is cool! Why isn't there one in my homeland? I have got to promote this man! Next time, I am going there for some pillow brawl. But my idea of a pillow fight has always included cute girls in skimpy underwear or nothing at all. I wonder if I am that lucky.

Japanese fertility festival

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:13:00 +0000

The Kanamara fertility festival, with its trademark parades of portable phallic shrines, is widely known, not only to locals but also foreigners, who make up nearly half this day's crowd.

Just when you think the Japanese weren't weird enough, they have this ancient ritual to promote fertility. Here is a better idea. Since the Japanese are so sex crazed, why not just organize a 'decent' romper stomper festival. Hey, everyone can join in and increase the fertility rate. A word of caution though, finding the right father may pose a challenge. So please register at the counter first.

Beware of wild turkeys

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Fri, 18 Apr 2008 05:02:00 +0000

10 to 15 wild turkeys have taken over one Madison, Wisconsin, Neighborhood. Postal workers say the turkeys have attacked them on occasion. They say they are now protecting themselves to fend off the foul.

As if humans are not already harassed by other things, now the folks here have to battle it out with turkeys. I cannot imagine someone being attacked by a turkey! Well, the weirdest things do happen in the States. This gives a new idea for a B grade movie. 'Attack of the Killer Turkeys!' The winner gets a bottle of cranberry juice, for free!

Stupid Criminals - Full Version

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:13:00 +0000

Hah. A short clip on some of the dumbest crimes ever committed by some of the dumbest criminals. Man, I wish there was more of such stuff. And what's the deal with the host's accent anyway? Anyway, please do not feel inspired by innovating the stupid crimes. Now, now, I know some of you do this in reality, but please don't. You don't want to be in the next video, do you?

Mothers of Invention

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 06:06:00 +0000

Hey, not bad for a bunch of inventions. For those of you who cannot afford to spend five minutes to watch the video, I will not go into the details of what these inventions are but I will just summarize them for you. Backless bra, adjustable dress shoe heel and a hands free blow job. I mean, blow dryer. Heads up to you ladies, although I still find them weird but what do I know? I am a male.

Viralcom - YouTube spoilers

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:52:00 +0000

Bad news to all those YouTube webcam, self-whoring, star wannabes. You have been ripped off. It seems there is a crew that does all the videos. A live crew. It's all staged, people! Good luck trying to get famous on YouTube. Oh, did I mention I am a pathological liar? No? Okay good. Enjoy.

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Tue, 15 Apr 2008 05:42:00 +0000

Now I am a huge, sort of, fan of Girls Gone Wild but this is probably the best I have ever seen from them. Guys, we know you love them Girls Gone Wild videos too, so stop pretending and start watching. Please, please do not get off to the video. Your keyboard will not like it. Oh, and please do not click on the Girls Gone Wild link if you're below 18. We will sue you. Thank you.

Dry Hump is not good for you so please, get wet or wet yourself. Or, as a last resort, get someone to get you. Oh, Manta, oh Manta!

China mulls to life poverty benchmark

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:17:00 +0000

Poverty has a benchmark too, it seems. So if your per annual capita income is 1301 Yen, you're officially not recognized as being poor in China. Hence, you're not in a state of poverty. How about a benchmark for the rich? That way, most off the rich people on Earth won't be so rich anymore. Hey, at least it will make the Chinese government feel good about themselves.

Loudspeaker prayer call politics

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:06:00 +0000

The kind of news that we see these days. The kind of accusations we see. Even prayer calls are something to be discussed about. Like the report says, I wonder how many people actually get up to pray at the stipulated time. Loud prayer calls are unnecessary people. No offence but isn't this disruptive to many? It was necessary those days as they had no telecommunications system. Now we do, so no need for loud blasting prayer calls. If you're sincere about your religion, you don't need a loud hailing alarm to wake you up. Get rid of them. Sigh.

Micro-blogging

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 08:00:00 +0000

It seems that this is rather old news. Micro-blogging has been around for a while. An acquaintance I know has been micro blogging about her life with her son for almost a year now. Why is this news just surfacing? Sometimes news is just not so new anymore. Just hope they don't come up with news in the future that says, 'Blogging on the fly'.

Video for 'Tax Rap'

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 07:48:00 +0000

Now every one remember to pay your taxes cause Uncle Sam has gone public by doing a rap for us.

Who the F is What The Buck?

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:40:00 +0000

Has anyone comes across this guy? Hey, if you happen to be someone I know or you're in some site I know, then please forgive me. I'm kidding. Interesting talent you have there. How do you do that with your effeminate voice? Man, I wish I could do something like that and gain instant popularity. But the idea of keeping up with blogging is tough enough. I dread the idea of video blogging. Anyway, who the heck is this guy anyway? Nice show title. What The Buck? Anyone knows him? I so don't want to Google this guy for details. Someone. Anyone. Please. Stop this insanity.

Silence of the skirt

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:32:00 +0000

It's not often someone comes across something really odd. But this is so simple yet it is completely whacked. The original video posting has a totally offbeat title and the video, is, err, surprisingly very quiet. So quiet, there is no music. Not even a sound. I guess the featured girl likes to keep it hush hush, you know? Hey now, don't go and tell nobody about this. Stupidity should be contained. But why am I promoting this video? Come on, give silent girl a chance. She is here to become popular too, you know.

American Airlines telephone harassments

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:27:00 +0000

Poor Samuel L. Jackson. Who would have imagined someone would his lines to do something so horrible like this? I mean the poor American Airlines staff. What did they do? I find it amusing that some of them found it amusing. What if this wasn't a joke people? Think about all those poor snakes that will die in the end. Oh, and talking about ending, please don't get offended. It's going to be on explosive ride.

Best baseball game ever

noreply@blogger.com (Joe Black) — Wed, 09 Apr 2008 19:16:00 +0000

What a great game this has got to be. I mean all that attention just on you. Got to thank the folks at ImprovEverywhere. I think they are doing a great job for these kids. But I wonder, if they will do the same thing for others who want to get similar exposure? I mean, hey who doesn't like to be featured on the news and have live commentary?
