Twitter Account Becomes Sitcom?!

Friday November 13, 2009

Shit My Dad Says The popular (and profane) Twitter account Shit My Dad Says is now being turned into a CBS sitcom (and a book!), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

If you're not familiar with Justin Halpern's truly hilarious twitter account, you don't know what you're missing -- the 29-year-old (formerly) down-on-his-luck writer transcribes funny, crazy, weird and just plain wild stuff his 73-year-old father says and posts it onto his twitter account.

At 140 characters (or less), Halpern gives us glimpses of his cantankerous (but loving) father. His father's loving (but often biting) words to his son have proved resonant -- the account has over 700,000 followers and Halpern has a book and TV deal.

This is not unprecedented. The blog Stuff White People Like was turned into a best-selling book and its creator, Christian Lander, has appeared on TV several times.

My question for Shit My Dad Says is this -- what's the show's censor-friendly new title going to be?

Video - The Body Flex Daily Workout

Monday November 9, 2009

Body Flex Sure, fashion, music and movies from the 1980s might be in style right now. But no one wants to do those crazy '80s aerobic workouts. Especially none called "The Body Flex Daily Workout". Because while we'd love to shed pounds doing as little work as possible, I think we've learned in the last 20 or so years that sticking our tongues out is not gonna cut it as a replacement for the elliptical.

Cute Animal Alert! Snow Leopard Playing with Jack O'Lantern

Tuesday November 3, 2009

snow leopard The Wildlife Conservation Society has a really, really cute video up right now of a snow leopard playing with a jack-o'-lantern at the Central Park Zoo.

This video is the kind of thing best enjoyed on the Internet because while it's adorable, I really wouldn't want a snow leopard messing around with a pumpkin on my front lawn. That would be terrifying.
