Yep. That about sums it up. If you missed some of the webcast due to the insane technical difficulties (as I posted on FB, makes sense, I mean livenation/ticketmaster is just a young, struggling start up with limited resources after all...) Here's a replay going on (I assume they will just keep looping it? Im sure a lot of it will turn up on Youtube by the end of the day today too)

 

2. Boston Goon

Not that any of this is surprising.. but... seriously, what a douche. Besides, how is he of all people worried about people stealing his material. A) He's not funny. B) He's the king of stolen material..

BOSTON (CBS) – Comedian and Arlington native Dane Cook was the talk of the town Friday morning after his set at the Boston Strong concert Thursday night.
The reason – no one outside the TD Garden saw it.
The concert was not televised, but it was streamed live online, until Cook came up for his standup performance.

Dane Cook        ✔ @DaneCook

Hey everyone sorry my set was not a part of the live stream or televised! I didn't want any of the new material to hit the airwaves yet!

1:41 AM - 31 May 2013

He requested that it be taken off the stream and explained why later on Twitter: That didn’t go over well on social media. “Dane Cook” was trending on Twitter in Boston into the morning and it wasn’t pretty.

LeBron Flop

(Previously in our coverage of LeBron flopping.)

 

 ICYMI... LeBron says flopping is an "effective strategy"... First of all, thats even douchier than Dane Cook. 2nd... dude doesnt need to flop. They dont call any fouls on him, and if you breathe on him funny you get a flagrant 1. It sickens me that the Celtics could have stopped all this from happening last year in game 6, now we have to live under the reign of King LeJoffry... Sigh

Stop producing "killer robots," U.N. expert warns

GENEVA Nations should agree to a moratorium on developing robots for war that can function autonomously before it is too late to stop their use, a U.N. human rights expert warned Thursday.
U.N. special rapporteur Christof Heyns urged a temporary freeze on producing or using so-called "killer robots," saying it would give nations time to think through the implications of creating them while "the genie is still in the bottle" technologically.
Programming machines to kill without humans making decisions could encourage more wars and make it more difficult to hold anyone accountable for war crimes, he told reporters in Geneva.
"Time is of the essence," he said of the need to decide now on how to use the robots, before they become a practical reality. "Trying to stop technology is a bit like trying to stop time itself — it moves on."

 

I just love that they used a terminator pick on this story. If that doesn't spur people to action I don't know what will.



8. Trailer of the Week

I look forward to getting way too drunk and seeing this in the theater.. much like I did the 1st movie.



9. Great Job... NBC?!?!

Not something I expected to say these days, but I was anxiously awaiting word on this show. Glad to hear they picked it back up. It's very well done. If you havent seen it, I think full episodes are up online.

NBC orders second helpings of Hannibal, macabre wordplay in articles about Hannibal

Mads Mikkelsen is having more friends for dinner, thanks to NBC’s 11th-hour renewal of Hannibal. Bryan Fuller’s woozy reboot of Thomas Harris’ Hannibal Lecter saga was the final question mark on The Peacock’s 2013-14, but Deadline reports that the network has finally decided, yeah, sure, it has room for more Hannibal, ensuring a second season for the series and additional servings of puns based on the fact that its main character kills and eats people.

11. It's Funny Cuz He's Fat

Sorry.. I know. That's just mean. But it's also true.

Korean Man LOVES Food

This guy is really, really thrilled to be eating his lunch.

In his defense.. it does look delicious.. until he starts playing with it. Then it looks disturbing. I'd say 50-50 chance this guy's got a hostage locked in his closet.

12. Oh How The Mighty Have Fallen

I really hope they incorporate this storyline into the new movie...

Mark Hamill spotted smoking used cigarettes he picked out of public ashtray

Mark Hamill was seen picking out old cigarette butts in a public ashtray outside of a studio in Los Angeles and smoking them back in his BMW.
The 61-year-old “Star Wars” actor then threw the stubs out the window when he was finished.
It’s unclear why the working actor felt the need to rummage through trash for a nicotine fix.
Following “Star Wars,” Hamill has had a healthy career on TV, including voicing The Joker in an animated Batman series. There are also rumors he’ll return for the new “Star Wars” movies.

 Monopoly is one of the most beloved board games of all time, so you'd think we'd all know how to play it correctly.

Turns out we don't.


That's what we call a "tease" in the news business.. follow the link above to find out.. and maybe, just maybe, the next time you play monopoly it wont suck so bad. (But probably not)

And while we're here..
