Well, the good news is that this wasn’t much worse. Michael McKean, who is most famous for playing Lenny on “Laverne & Shirley” and David St. Hubbins from “This is Spinal Tap,” was injured in New York City on Tuesday when he was struck by a car. Reports say that he broke his leg, but [...]
As if Facebook isn’t in the news enough, they are even more talked about this week than usual. Yep, they have that little IPO thing happening and apparently some people care. You think founder Mark Zuckerberg is awkward now? Well, in this 2004 CNBC clip where he describes his new company, he’s even more awkward. [...]
It is with a heavy pen that I write about the news of Beastie Boys co-founder Adam “MCA” Yauch passing away today. He was 47-years old and was diagnosed with cancer in 2009. I knew something wasn’t good when he didn’t make it to the group’s Rock’n’Roll Hall of Fame induction last month. I’ll leave [...]
This is pretty great. No, it’s not great that this New Jersey mother, Patricia Krentcil, 44, was arrested on charges of second-degree child endangerment for allegedly taking her five-year old daughter to a tanning bed. But, it is great that we got to see Patricia’s picture. Where do you even start? Your daughter was found [...]
As you may or may not know, there is a raging murder case going on (or not going on) down in Florida. Trayvon Martin (who you may have heard of) was killed by the gunfire of George Zimmerman (who you may or may not think is fat), and there are a lot of people that [...]
We haven’t been following this Trayvon Martin case too closely. At the very least, we’re bombarded by the news coverage on a daily basis so we know a bit about it. As you may or may not have heard, George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin last month. Trayvon was apparently minding his business (by their account), [...]
This is pretty great. A weatherwoman at KRDO news out in Colorado was having a bit of a bad day. Apparently, her green screen and graphics were not cooperating with her during this broadcast because it usually takes more than one technical issue to get an on-air talent to lose their composure. But, we’re glad [...]
You probably never heard of Jack Milos. He’s a six-year old (soon to be seven) Vancouver Canucks fan who likes to dance. Fortunately for him (or not so fortunately for him if his parents start showing this to dates that come by the house when he’s 16), the jumbotron at the game caught him dancing [...]
We know that many of you are big fans of MTV’s “Jersey Shore.” We also know that many of you have big concerns about the show and it’s wonderful cast of intelligent, academic-elite characters. ‘Will JWOWW ever complete her Master’s at Princeton?,’ ‘Will Deena ever just leave show business and pursue a career in national [...]
You don’t see this very often. Denver Fox News anchorwoman Kyle Dyer was doing a story on Wednesday about an Argentine Mastif named Max. Max ran off to chase a coyote a couple days ago, and slipped and fell into an ice-covered lake. A brave fireman put on a wetsuit and went out and rescued [...]
I’m sure the local Philadelphia FOX affiliate didn’t appreciate the mayor’s sudden profanity slip, but the viewers did. Philadelphia is like a lot of cities in the sense it is filled with some dumb people doing dumb stuff. And Michael Nutter, who has probably had about enough of this crap, was asked about a recent [...]
It’s that time of year again. And you know what that means! That’s right, it’s time for the Christmas song from the slow Burger King employee. We watch this every year (and probably post it every year) and love it all over again when we do. If you haven’t seen this, it will be entertaining [...]
We’ve seen some odd tributes to the 9/11 attacks on the World Trade Center before, but this is the weirdest. And we aren’t exactly sure what to think of it. Is it a tribute to 9/11? Is this a “never forget” type of shirt? If it’s intended to be a “never forget” piece of clothing, [...]
The sports world hasn’t been doing so hot lately when it comes to touching kids inappropriately. We all know about Jerry Sandusky and the whole Penn State fiasco. Then we heard about Bernie Fine’s alleged misconduct at Syracuse. Now, it’s former Philadelphia Daily News columnist Bill Conlin, who is being accused by four adults of [...]
Well, it’s Friday, and you know what that means. That’s right, racist commercials! It’s actually not Racist Commercials Friday here at OTR, but should we start doing that? After getting into YouTube’s “racist commercial” searches, it’s clear that there are no shortage of racist commercials. We’ll have to give that some thought. Regardless, here is [...]
There have been moments over the course of Saturday Night Live‘s history where there was sheer brilliance. The kind of innovative and hysterical humor that made its mark on generations. Victoria Jackson was part of some of those casts, even if she herself was never the shining star. She did a good job overall though, [...]
I think someone made a mistake at a school out in Compton, CA. They say they have celebrities who come in and read to their kids from time to time, but whoever said they booked this “actress” left off the word “adult” that precedes it. Porn star Sasha Grey was at a Compton school reading [...]
For those of you who were excited to watch the ongoing disaster that is the GOP presidential primaries on Wednesday night, you probably were a bit disappointed. We didn’t get all the back and forth bickering and back biting that we’ve become accustomed to. However, we did get one memorable moment that probably kept Rick [...]
Yes, this is a sports site, but we haven’t found anything today that we want to post that’s sports related. So instead, we’ll pass along some news on the Republican primary race. After all, OTR is a humor site too and this GOP race is indeed hilarious. So, we’ve heard about the two women who [...]
For a mega star, Justin Bieber hasn’t had to deal with much controversy. For guys, it’s easy to want to hate him right off the bat. He’s good looking, girls love him, he probably doesn’t write any of his music, and you’re sick of hearing about him. The truth is, he seems like a decent [...]
Not sure how anyone could describe this as anything but horrific. We usually post funny stupid stuff on OTR, but this is the exact opposite. We’re posting this in the hopes that more people can see this and that this low-life, two-bit piece of horse manure gets disbarred and hopefully put in prison. This is [...]
We admit that we were first emailed this video by someone and then we looked it up on YouTube. You can find other clips that play different songs, although none are appropriate. So, we aren’t exactly sure what music CNN played as they went to break. However, we chose what we thought was the most [...]
So, do you gamble with Full Tilt Poker? Let’s hope not! You may or may not have heard that they are under a bit of heat. No, it has nothing to do with U.S. gambling regulations or anything like that. Nope, they flat out stole your money. And world-famous poker talents Harold Lederer and Chris [...]
We couldn’t make this stuff up. Of all the stories that we don’t see coming, this one has to be up there. For all of the things you could think about Sarah Palin, you wouldn’t guess that she was getting it on with Glen Rice (who is black!). But, sources tell the National Enquirer (always [...]
This is some hardcore hurricane coverage, and I mean that in a very literal sense. This reporter, Eric Fisher of the Weather Channel, in Virginia Beach is expressing his outrage for how stupid all these people are that are out and about as Hurricane Irene approaches them. He’d probably be more frustrated if he knew [...]
