Real Shameless Commercial

And you thought Cash4Gold’s commercials were annoying? Well, this is just shameless, horrible, and probably ten times worse!

Michael Phelps Cartoon

This Michael Phelps cartoon shows you how much of an impact he is having on the world. ;D

Phelps’ Last Race was Golden

©afp

[ WARNING: SPOILER ]

Michael Phelps got his 8th gold medal in Beijing last night, with help from his teammates Brendan Hansen, Jason Lezak and Aaron Peirso. He’s 8 for 8! He’s the new golden boy!

Phelps is the first Olympic athlete to win eight gold medals in the same Olympic games. Phelps broke Mark Spitz’s record of seven gold medals when Spitz won them in the 1972 Olympic games in Munich, Germany.

The US swim team got a world-record time of 3 minutes, 29.34 seconds, Phelps’ 7th world record! Way to go, Michael and team USA for winning gold in this last relay!

Bigfoot Find a Big Hoax

The press conference held today by the three men that had found the Bigfoot in Georgia was attended and watched by many. (You can watch the press conference here.) But some of the major news groups and actual Bigfoot believers were skeptical, calling the trio liars, and calling the whole thing a big hoax.

The supposed frozen body was actually a popular Halloween costume stuffed in cooler with some extra animal parts for added effect.

The group of men who “found” the body aren’t even Bigfoot hunters or anything, they’re really just some con artists trying to get the media’s attention while they get book deals, tv spots, etc.

Sorry everyone, but this whole thing was a hoax.

Proof that He Kexin is Underage

There is some controversy surrounding He Kexin and her age.

The Huffington Post has a great article and great PROOF that Chinese Olympic gold-medal gymnast He Kexin is underage, and thus should be stripped of her gold medal! They have dated articles and documents that prove that He Kexin is 14 and not 16, the minimum age requirement for the gymanstics competition. Read the article, look at the documents, and come up with your own conclusion but I think that she is underage — she even looks 14!

Happy Birthday Joe Jonas!

Today, August 15, is Joseph Adam Jonas’ 19th birthday! Happy Birthday! haha.

I HATE Cash4Gold Commericals

Has anyone NOT seen these stupid commericals that run at random times during the day? I watch the morning news, it runs. I watch Ellen, it runs. I watch Jay Leno, it runs. I watch the Olympics, it runs. What gives? These things are ridiculous! And isn’t “Cash4Gold” a scam anyway? Why would anyone in their right mind give away their scrap gold without getting it appraised first?

There are so many things that just don’t make sense to me at all. First, their “secure” envelope that you mail your jewelry in is just some paper and a small plastic bag. How is that secure? Shouldn’t it be bullet-proof or something? Second, how much will you be getting for your gold? They say they’ll give you cash and blah blah blah. But in reality, how much do you REALLY get? Five bucks for your old class ring that cost you $500? And third, the poeple in the commercials need acting lessons or something. They’re just so dumb.

Oh, and my favorite line from the commercial:

I sent in my diamond wedding band from my first marriage and got money the very next day.

Last Night’s “D-List” Finale

Last night I watched the season finale of Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List and it almost made me cry. It was really tough for me to watch this episode only because of the different states that those brave soldiers were in. It was really tough for Kathy to be there, too; in one scene Kathy is out of sight of the recovering soldiers and she just breaks down and cries (at which point I almost cried because when I see someone cry it makes me want to cry). But what I really enjoyed about last night’s episode was that Kathy wanted to make the soldiers laugh, and lift their spirits up a little bit. Also, I saw how strong those soldiers were, not to mention how incredibly strong their families were. Though some soldiers were going through a really tough time of their life, I was surprised at how positive they were and how happy most of them were. It kind of made me think about all of the men and women fighting for our country, and how amazing these soldiers are.

I can’t wait until next season!

John McCain – Unfit to Lead (Video)

Watch this really interesting video from YouTube.

I don’t know what to say about this video. I don’t even know if it is somewhat factual or total b.s. I DO know that I don’t want him as our president, and I didn’t support him before the video.

Michael Phelps Swimsuit Too Low

Is Michael Phelps Swimsuit Too Low? (Click to see detail.)

Some people have been talking about how Michael Phelps’ swimsuit is way too low, and fear that it may slip during a live broadcast! The question they’re asking is “How low is too low?” You can see in the picture above that it does seem a little bit too low, but he has had it like that since the beginning of these games and there hasn’t been a “wardrobe malfunction,” if you will. Swimmer Mike Laurich defended low-rise swimsuits:

When you hike [the suit] up, you look like kind of a [dork].

If you pay close attention, almost every swimmer has a low-rise swimsuit, which helps them swim better, and besides, aren’t we all watching Michael and his friends because they are amazing swimmers, not because we want a swimsuit to accidentally slip down further? And one more thing: he has the most gold medals ever for an Olympic athlete, let him wear his Speedo however he wants!
