Lord knows I love getting boxes full of goodies, especially when they contain a hodgepodge of MP3 players and speakers. Apparently, the Almighty One also believes that Crave readers need a little more God-fearing in their lives, because my latest shipment included an MP3 player in the shape …

Adam Sandler Whispers Sweet Nothings In Your Bluetooth Headset [Ads]

Written by funny_genie on Friday, May 9th, 2008 in Funny News.

you_dont_mess_with_the_zohan.jpgI’m still a little undecided as to whether or not I’ll be seeing Adam Sandler’s You Don’t Mess with the Zohan, but the movie is using a clever, tech-oriented marketing ploy that’s definitely gotten me interested. Twenty-five Regal Entertainment theater lobbies will feature a decorated salon chair that when sat in (while wearing a Bluetooth headset) will beam 6 voicetones to the user’s ear. We’re not sure exactly what Adam Sandler’s new character sounds like, but we’re betting if you mix the characters of Adam Sandler Billy Madison, Adam Sandler Little Nicky, and Adam Sandler The Waterboy, you’ll have a pretty close approximation.

Teen Movies Covers Cliche

Written by funny_genie on Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 in Funny News.

Idiot’s guide to designing teen movies covers in 3 easy steps:

1. Get a picture of a woman’s spread legs (must wear skirt or underwear). The longer the legs are, the better.

2. Get a picture of the main characters (preferably with a stupid smile, looking up). At least 2 guys recommended.

3. Overlay the previous two pictures (don’t forget to also add the movie title)

Result: Get paid a ridiculous amount of money for creating top notch movie cover designs.

Examples of designs from people that followed this guide:

Texan tries to cash $360bn cheque, gets arrested

Written by funny_genie on Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 in Funny News.

360 billion chequeA man in the US state of Texas has been arrested for allegedly trying to cash a cheque for $360bn (£182bn).

Charles Ray Fuller had said he wanted to start a record business, authorities in the state said.

The 21-year-old’s attempt to cash the money in a bank in Fort Worth failed when staff spotted the 10 zeros on the personal cheque.

Mr Fuller was arrested on a charge of forgery and was released on bail of $3,750 (£1,900).

$1m scams

The man from North Texas said he had been given the cheque by his girlfriend’s mother.

The bank said it had contacted the account owner and had been told she had not given Mr Fuller permission to either take or cash the cheque.

Fort Worth police said Mr Fuller also faced charges of unlawfully carrying a weapon and possessing cannabis.

Officers said a small amount of cannabis and a .25-calibre pistol were found in his pocket.

In October last year a man in the city of Pittsburgh was arrested after he handed over a counterfeit $1m bill to a cashier at a supermarket and asked for change.

Three years earlier a woman was arrested after trying to use a fake $1m bill at a supermarket in Georgia.

Best Job Ever

Written by funny_genie on Wednesday, May 7th, 2008 in Funny News.

beerLONDON (Reuters) - Found: drinking companions to join elderly gentleman for a friendly beer at his local pub.

Mike Hammond was bombarded with offers after advertising in his village post office for someone to accompany his 88-year-old father Jack on visits to a southern England pub from a nursing home.

He offered the lucky winner 7 pounds ($14) an hour plus expenses and, after sifting through the applicants, decided on a job-share. Drinking duties are to be divided between a retired doctor and a former military man.

“Dad’s now going to be going down to the pub several times a week — three with his new friends and twice with me,” Mike Hammond told The Times on Thursday. “I want to give him some of his old life back.”
