So there is a movie coming out and to promote the unnamed film they decided to do a hidden camera experiment. They had two men in an elevator on the floor with one of them strangling the other one to see what people on the other side of the door would do.
Some ran away, some attacked, some were horrified, some got help and one guy eve took pictures with his phone. So what did their little experiment prove? It proved scaring people with a fake murder attempt for a movie, shows how awful this idea is to promote said film that no one is talking about and no one will see even though some B- List actors are in it.
So why post this? While I applaud studios when they come up with new ways to publicize their movies, this type of promotion needs to be stopped before it is done again. At least the one for The Last Exorcism 2 made sense and didn’t hurt or scar anyone like this one did.
Are you like me and have been hearing a lot about Notre Dame’s Manti Te’o today but are too lazy to read all the details about his fake dead girlfriend? Well Next Media Animation has animated his tale and you can find out all you need to know in the 2 minute video. Actually almost all, it doesn’t tell us how in a time with Skype, he never video chatted with her. I mean how stupid can one guy be? How could he not be in on the joke? How could the jokester keep it up for so long? All of these questions should be answered in the upcoming Lifetime movie because you know they are optioning the rights to his story as we speak!
BTW if you want to actually read all the details about the hoax, here is Deadspin’s very detailed article.
BTW I think my Alma Mater’s football team should hold their heads down in shame today because they had their a$$e$ handed to them by Notre Dame this season. How could my Canes lose to team that has a guy like that on it?
Last week the world of Sesame Street was rocked when a man claimed that he had sex with Kevin Clash, the voice of Elmo, when he was a minor. Clash took a leave of absence from the job to prove his innocence and by the end of the week, the accuser reportedly took a settlement deal and said that he did not hook up with Clash until he was 18. Then it was reported that accuser regretted his decision and once again claimed he really did have a sexual relationship with Clash when he was minor. Then it seemed like the story would go away until this morning when TMZ reported a second man filed a lawsuit against Clash claiming he had sex with him when he was 15.
It was too much for Clash to handle and he resigned from his job as the voice of Elmo effective immediately. The NY Times posted the below statement from Sesame Workshop on his departure:
Sesame Workshop’s mission is to harness the educational power of media to help all children the world over reach their highest potential. Kevin Clash has helped us achieve that mission for 28 years, and none of us, especially Kevin, want anything to divert our attention from our focus on serving as a leading educational organization. Unfortunately, the controversy surrounding Kevin’s personal life has become a distraction that none of us want, and he has concluded that he can no longer be effective in his job and has resigned from Sesame Street. This is a sad day for Sesame Street.
Once this all settles down, I am sure Clash can find work at Avenue Q or one of those other adult shows with puppets. Although I am sure he has made some good money being one of the most recognizable voices in the world.
If you thought what the Today Show did to Ann Curry was despicable, it is nothing as compared to what they did today. According to TV Newser they opted to air an interview with Kris Kardashian talking about her fake boobs rather than break away for a moment of silence to remember the victims of 9/11. There is no excuse why they did that and it is so disrespectful to America and the world that they did that. But if you are going to do something so low, you might as well do it they way they did. I can’t think of a scenario where what they did could’ve been more distasteful than to do it with a Kardashian talking about her breast implants. So sad.
I have not watched the Today Show in years, and I will not be watching it ever again after what they did today. I say we all watch Good Morning America from now on and show them how much they suck.
Just in case you thought Ke$ha couldn’t get any trashier, she topped herself. She Tweeted the above picture and said “pee pee on the street. PoPo come n get unme if u can find meeee. I blame traffik.” Why couldn’t she just find a McDonald’s or a gas station? But even if she couldn’t, why take a picture a post it of her fist piss that went a little like this in public. So nasty.
