RIP BILLY MAYS

Hip-Hop Is Dead

This is Big-Shot, the mascot of the 76ers before Hip Hop. I hear the Sixers are going to be using their "vintage" uniforms, so I think in spirit of this they drop that back flipping, speed addict, rabbit and return to the glory days of the mascotorial arts. I mean the philly phanatic has worked out pretty well, why not have another make believe creature to represent our city.

You're Going To Love My Nuts

I am and avid Billy Mays fan, and I don't support beating up hookers, but Vince (The Shamwow Guy) is at it again with the slap chop. I've seen the actual commercial but I was watching MTV the other day and this version of the commercial come on, and I thought it was awesome.

Never Thought I'd Live To See The Day...

...that I hear the Jonas Brothers utter the word twat.

So they obviously know what it is....purity rings my ass...

WHY?

Because you touch yourself at night!

Although I think this person should be more concerned with the blood in their stool...and air.

Sad, But True.

Got this off The Onion site. I guess Michael Jackson started having sleepovers with 8 year olds when he was 8 years old, so it makes it totally okay...right?

Death by Chocolate

Camden worker dies after falling into 8-foot-deep vat of chocolate

CAMDEN -- A city man died today after falling into an eight-foot deep vat of chocolate at a factory in Camden.

Vincent Smith II, 29, was standing on a nine foot high platform at Cocoa Services loading solid chocolate into a melting vat when he fell into the vat about 10:30 a.m., according to the Camden County Prosecutor's Office.

Google MapsThe 700 block of North 36th Street in Camden, the location of the facility where a man died today after falling into a vat of boiling chocolate.

A co-worker immediately hit an emergency shutoff switch and two others tried to pull Smith out, according to Jason Laughlin, a spokesman for Camden County Prosecutor Warren Faulk.

However, Smith was hit by an agitator, a large paddle-like piece of machinery in the vat used to mix the solid chocolate as it melts, Laughlin said.

Smith suffered fatal injuries from the blow. Firefighters removed Smith from the vat. He was declared dead at the scene.

Smith was a temporary worker at the 36th Street business.

Lyons and Sons Inc., building owner and Cocoa Services manager, closed the business for the day.

Preliminary information suggests the incident is accidental, Laughlin said.

That sucks a lot for him, and here is why:

1. He's dead

2. He died in a way I always pictued being a cool way to die, apparently it is not as glamorous as I'd hoped.

3. He was a temp.

Imagine being at a temp agency and you landed a job at a chocolate factory. You'd being thinking "fuck yea that's some Willy Wonka shit" Then you realize the dangers of the Umpa Lumpa industry....
