The Internet, I love Thee #5

The Internet, I love Thee #5

So it’s spring break and I am busy with other things, but that didn’t stop me from searching the internet and finding funny and interesting things for my readers! Let’s go ahead and start things off with:

One of the coolest beer mugs that I have ever seen. It’s called the Hopside Down Beer Mug ($19.99). ThisĀ  mug might come in handy soon considering the that Free The Hops Bill is now passing through the state senate. Keep your eye on this bill, it is quite interesting. More info CLICK.

Next up, we have the website known as Fmylife.com. It has become really popular lately and has a huge online following. Make sure to check it out. It is simple, yet entertaining. You will love it.

Ok, Here is a serious one. This image is from Sri Lanka. It is a picture taken at the exact moment that a suicide bomber detonates a bomb in a crowd of people. It almost looks fake, but it isn’t.

A bomb goes off as Sri Lankan Muslim men celebrate a religious holiday in Akuressa. A suicide bomber attacked a gathering of Muslims, killing 10 and critically wounding a government minister. See the video here and see more images and more about the story here

Here is the image:

That’s about as real as you can get. The world is a horrible place sometimes.

I know that the Sri Lanka Bombing picture was pretty heavy, but I figure I might as well show you a large spectrum of the stuff that gets a buzz on the internet each week. I’ll slowly bring you down back to funny land by showing you this clip of Jim Cramer (host of Mad Money on CNBC) who went on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and got his ass handed to him by Jon. You need to see video 2 and 3, they are pretty awesome.

Quote of the day: “The is a market for Cocaine and Hookers! So what?!”


Next We have a cover of Mariah Carey’s song “Touch my Body”. This one is an instant classic:

Last for this week I have decided that I will do a t-shirt of the week each time I do one of these Internet posts. In keeping with our alcohol theme today, and in hopes that Free The Hops passes, here is a shirt from Snorg T’s.com

It’s called “Sometimes Alcohol IS the Answer” and cost like 13 bucks:
