We should eat pizza and drink beer minutes before the show more often. This week's presentation is pretty lively. One of our better shows this year if I do say so myself. We all scarfed a slice or two and cracked open some brewskies while waiting to go live on ErrorFM.com. It seemed to energize us. And rightfully so, because there was some good stuff on this week's rundown worth energizing over.
For the first time in our show's history, our intro music is interrupted with pertinent and important breaking news... the engagement of Nickelback's Chad Kroeger and Avril Lavigne. As you know we've developed this morbid curiosity with the bland-band from Canada. We poke a little fun at the engagement and even give you an exclusive look into what their wedding night might sound like.
Another famous Who Asked You? sidetrack takes place during the Calendar segment. This one is all me though. I ate a cookie. A special cookie for the first time and recount my experience. Tune-in for the details.
The legion of doom... err, I mean, the Parents Television Council is at it again. Now they're complaining about all the censored nudity on TV. You read that correctly... they're complaining about the CENSORED nudity. Man, you just can't win with them! The problem now is they don't like all the scripted shows using 'implied' nudity. They claim the number of blurred birthday suits has jumped dramatically this season. We share a few choice words on the matter.
And speaking of choice words. Merriam-Webster has released their list of new words for the dictionary this year. Many of them are two words, so it's a little strange. It's like the dictionary has stock holders that need to be appeased. So they just keep making shit up to spike their stock price. Is Merriam-Webster a publicly traded company? Anyway, some of the new words include 'cloud computing' and 'man cave.' You'll hear the rest on today's show.
While the dictionary folks are making up words, eBay is banning the sale and auction of made up items. More precisely, metaphysical products. They include things like spells, voodoo dolls, potions, curses, etc. The intangible is becoming increasingly hard for the auction site to manage. Apparently there are a lot of complaints when it comes to the authenticity of these items. Whudda thunk? That mystical crystal you bought didn't conjure up a horny vampire ghost to fuck you 'til you pass out? What to do?!?! I know... don't buy the bullshit in the first place. Which brings us to the question, should this stuff be banned from eBay? There are people out there... crazy people... who do genuinely believe in this stuff, should they be deprived? Perhaps if they're dumb enough to buy it, they deserve to lose their money. And eBay will still get their commission. Maybe a better alternative to an all-out ban might be a huge disclaimer posted at the top of every single auction under the metaphysical category. We saw this happen before. One instance was with used undergarments. They had to put a stop to selling smelly old briefs and bras to horny old goats because too many people weren't getting what was expected. I missed out on that money making venture. I would've gladly sold my dirty underwear for a $100 a pop. Would've saved me from having to do a ton of laundry.
I doubt they would've fetched as much as Elvis' undies. That is just one of the stories in this week's Jenkem Watch. Before that though we gotta tell you about the latest technological advancement out of Japan... a shit-powered motorbike. As part of a campaign for awareness of clean-burning fuels, a toilet manufacturer there has created a motorcycle that runs off of processed livestock waste. Take a look at the picture and you'll see the seat is made to look like a toilet. The company stresses though, it's just for looks! Don't use this commode on the road. The day may come though when we can kill two birds with one... turd. If you catch my drift.
Stay to the end of the show for a special musical treat. That's all I'm gonna say. Yes, it's in the Show Links, but it's much more entertaining with the precious laughter of the Who Asked You? Crew in the background.
