PAW PAW, Mich. — A 21-year-old man was taken on a wild ride Wednesday afternoon when the wheelchair he was in became attached to the grille of a semi-truck and was taken four miles down a highway at about 50 mph.
and the best quote of the article…
“You are not going to believe this, (but) there is a semi pushing a guy in a wheelchair on Red Arrow Highway,” an unknown caller told the Michigan State Police.
Poor guy! But, this is a classic Daily Hook story for sure!
If you’ve listened to our podcasts, you know by now that we are tremendously huge fan’s of MTVs The Hills, mainly because of LC (Lauren Conrad). Well LC seems like a great girl and the perfect girlfriend, however recently it has surfaced that she has a sex tape! It seems like these days you can’t “pass go” in Hollywood unless you have a sex tape, so maybe its her big break. Various internet sources claim that her douche bag ex-boyfriend Jason has been shopping around the sex tape for $500,000 to several porn companies. Against these reports, LC wrote on her blog that no such video exists. I can’t wait to see how this plays out! The Daily Hook will keep you posted and provide links to video footage if it is ever made available!
This is the first mashup ever produced by yours truly. If you aren’t familiar with the term mashup its basically where you take various forms of media, whether it be audio, video, images etc and reconstruct them in an original and unique fashion. The process is very similar to music producers who take various samples and produce an original track.
The mashup is actually an experiment to see if I could produce a viral video powerful enough to generate buzz for another website of mine. I hope to get at least 100,000 views of the video within a couple months and then hope a fraction of the viewers visit my website. Its a hell of a goal but I think its achievable once I can light the fire by spreading the video in a few key places!
If you enjoy this video mashup of the popular Criss Angel show ‘Mind Freak’ please help spread it. ‘Mind Freak’ is an A&E show and the audio clips were taken from the Heidi Cortez album Sexxxy Noises. Don’t sue me!
This is from the Best of Craigslist. A close friend of The Daily Hook forwarded this to us and I thought it was really amusing! Here’s a few lines to get you interested,
I got a vasectomy.
I met a girl soon afterwards. She was nice and attractive but with a selfish streak that raised a big red flag. She was 32 at the time and I could practically HEAR her biological clock ticking. Regardless, she was a good lay, easy on the eyes, and reasonably good company.
I did NOT tell her about my vasectomy and I always used a condom with her to protect against STDs. She assumed, obviously, that the condom was only used for birth control. Silly girl.
I’m not making any accusations, but this video entitled “The New Thing” which was posted on YouTube on June 4th, 2006 looks really familiar to the popular “Slapped” Bud Light commercial which aired during this weekends Super Bowl. Budweiser even plays on the concept that slapping is the new thing. Don’t get me wrong, I loved the Budweiser ad, but I just wanted to point out the similarities between the two ads and the continued amateur influence on advertising, and GOOD advertising for that matter. Here are the two videos side by side:
There is a great article in the New York Times about copy protection with its regard to digital music and the iPod/iPhone and copy protected portable music players in general. The author writes,
As consumers become more aware of how copy protection limits perfectly lawful behavior, they should throw their support behind the music labels that offer digital music for sale in plain-vanilla MP3 format, without copy protection.
