Ben played him on the big screen…
But now, the world has a real-life ‘Ken’ doll.
30 cosmetic surgeries and $250,000 dollars later, this guy is now officially a circus freak.
Be afraid.
Gasoline fight anyone?
MORE: He could have saved $50,000 and did what this guy did.
I said it here, but now the denials are coming from his reps. Christopher Walken isn’t running for president in 2008.
A claim that Walken had launched a campaign for the White House caused a stir as it made the Internet rounds in recent days, fueled by a sophisticated website (www.walken2008.com) that lists a campaign platform, testimonials and bits of purported Walken wisdom intended to carry him far with voters in red and blue states.
Only, it’s all a joke.
Walken’s representatives say they aren’t sure who masterminded the website but speculate that it might have been prompted by Walken’s latest film, “Wedding Crashers,” a hit comedy starring Owen Wilson and Vince Vaughn. In it, Walken plays the U.S. secretary of the Treasury.
“The person who put this together was just trying it as a hoax, I presume,” said Mara Buxbaum, Walken’s publicist. “My take on it is it sounds like the person who put this on the Web took his role … in ‘Wedding Crashers’ too seriously and now wants him to run for the presidency.”
Go back to your lives citizens.
WASHINGTON (AP) Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid, D-Nev., saw a doctor after feeling light-headed Tuesday and has learned he’d suffered a mild stroke, aides said Friday.
Before.
After.
UPDATE: Yikes, there’s more pictures. Hello, Mr. Steroids. Forget about his hair and his body. Cripes, what happened to his face? From here forward, Carrot Top is dead to me.
MORE: The Carrot Top transformation.
STILL MORE: This is disturbing.
Michele Catalano’s Friday seems to be focused on the worst of everything. Just keep scrolling.
Yep, it’s real furniture built from those (practically) indestructible FedEx boxes.
They’ve got a couch, dining table with chairs, a bed, and a computer desk. Jose, the proprietor at fedexfurniture.com, says it’s 100% functional.
“FedEx Furniture is furniture put together by empty FedEx Boxes, and held together by FedEx packaging supplies. The couch is standing/sleeping approved, I sleep on the bed every night, I eat at the dining table, and I work at the desk almost 20 hours a day.”
I don’t think he gets out that much.
Oh, and if you’re wondering, the real FedEx hasn’t been too friendly with Jose. You can read their latest love letter sent to him by a real live FedEx lawyer. (pdf)
MORE: Jeremy Pepper talked to FedEx about this, and he also spoke with Jose.
STILL MORE: Steve Rubel thinks FedEx has blown a big citizen marketing opportunity.
EVEN MORE: This is cool.
This has been around a bit, but it was new to me.
Created and introduced by Scott Kelby at a Mac Design conference in June, a spoof ad for the iPod Flea (see video).
As with any new technology, this will need some tweaks in order to get it just right. Hopefully, they’ll solve the battery problem.
See anything different?
Maybe it’s a mid-Blog crisis, but for some reason I felt like I needed to change the design of PunditGuy. I guess it’s kind of like standing in front of the mirror and parting your hair on the other side just to see what you look like. Sometimes it works well enough that you actually go out of the house and face the public that way. I suppose a blog redesign is no different.
Anyway, that’s what’s going on here.
