Guy With 3 Wishes Ends Up With Orange Head
"Well, on my way home from work today, I came across a magic lamp that granted me three wishes. For my first wish, I wished for a billion dollars. I checked my bank account and sure enough the money was in there. Next, I asked for a supermodel girlfriend, and came home to the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."
Puzzled the bartender asks "And the third wish?"
"Then," says the man, "And this is where I think I went terribly wrong, I wished for this big orange round head..."

Barack Obama Etch A Sketch !
Someone has drawn an epic portrait of Barack Obama using an Etch-A-Sketch. Is the etch-a-sketch made permanent or will a quick shake erase 80 hours of work? I didn't know they still made etch A sketches, there's one in my mom's basement from a long time ago.
Do they still make etch a sketches? It looks like there is a line across the bottom of the screen that would allow a connection to the other lines, I bet the stars have a smalls single line between them. Just observing.
Or maybe it's a photoshop. I wonder if there are a lot of etch a sketch photoshops.
Cash4Gold Ed McMahon and MC Hammer
Is Cash4Gold legit?
Cash4Gold is using Ed McMahon and MC Hammer now in a super bowl advertisement.
Will it be funny? Why aren't super bowl ads funny anymore?
Why did Cash4Gold.com choose Ed McMahon and MC Hammer to endorse the gold recycling company in their latest television commercial advertisement?
Places like that give you PENNIES on the dollar for what the gold is REALLY worth! I'd assume.

2009 Australian Open Interrupted by Streaker
A streaker interrupted a match involving Venus Williams and Serena Williams, versus Ayumi Morita and Martina Mueller.
MELBOURNE (Reuters) – Security at the Australian Open was again under scrutiny on Friday when a male streaker interrupted a doubles match involving the Williams sisters, Venus and Serena. Security staff captured the man and banned him from attending the rest of the tournament after he ran on to an outside court while the sisters were playing Ayumi Morita and Martina Mueller. Tennis Australia officials said the man was on court for just 14 seconds but the security guards' main job was to protect the players. "The focus of the on-court security team is always on player protection," Tennis Australia said in a statement. "They are instructed not to chase offenders as their focus at all times must remain on the players. The on-court actions of the security personnel reflected this focus on player protection." The incident happened shortly after dozens of Serbian and Bosnian fans were kicked out of Melbourne Park for fighting. (Reporting by Julian Linden, editing by Pritha Sarkar)
I wonder how much camera time the guy got and what was going through the minds of everyone?
