Universal Fire “Not All Bad” Says Studio Head
NBC Universal President and Chief Operating Officer Ron Meyer said the fire that raged across the studio’s back lot this past weekend was a “mixed blessing.” “The fire destroyed tens of millions of dollars worth of studio property, but on the positive side, the fire also destroyed hundreds of copies of absolute bombs such as ‘Let’s Go To Prison’, ‘Fast and the Furious: Tokyo Drift’, and ‘How the Grinch Stole Christmas.’ While it did cause untold damage and destroy numerous high quality Universal releases, it did save us the trouble of purging every copy of Ang Lee’s ‘Hulk’ from the face of the Earth. With that in mind, Universal pretty much broke even.”

Woman wins $8 million dollar lottery and dies in a car accident on the way home after being awarded her winnings. Investigators say the cause of the accident was obvious. Apparently she had struck a dear with her car. She had willed everything she had to the PETA organization (People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals). Guess this is one time the organization can profit from the death of an animal.

who won this badboy?
June 13th, 2008 at 10:13 am
Well, if they emailed the winner already, it wasn’t me. So much for my special bonus “booty prize.” LOL. They don’t seem to list out their winners, and a lot of the contests don’t have “rules” listed out that show you exactly when contact will be made. This contest said, “Winners will be chosen on Tuesday, June 10th and contacted via email, so act fast!” so, I don’t know if that means the contest ended at 11:59 PM on June 9th (whcih means I got my 6/10 entry in too late), or if that means they ended it sometime during June 10th. Either way, they should still announce who the winners are for each contest via a “winners page” or something… or change the blog to announce who the winner was. Something like “This contest ended June 10, 2007. Congratulations Jack L. from Iowa!”… or they could announce it via their e-mail newsletter.

I got an email saying that they were behind and that I one 1 of the 2 copies! YAY! I haven’t received it yet, but I am giving them the standard 6-8 weeks for delivery before I complain….
SADLY, I have been informed that Mr. Segal is currently very attached to his ass. So, his buttocks is unavailable for inclusion in my prize package.
Frick!
Shoot!
Crud!
And it would have looked so nice above my fireplace. I had just cleared off my mantle too. Time to take great-grandma’s ashes out of the kitty litter box, put them back in the urn, and put it back up there. *SIGH*
