Mr. Fredrickson's House, For Real

For anyone that has seen the adorable Disney/Pixar film, Up!, you will be familiar with the character Mr. Fredrickson and the story line of his flying house lifted up by a ton of balloons. Well, as part of a campaign to promote their new show, "How Hard Can It Be?", National Geographic recreated the house from the movie!!!! They have about 300 giant helium filled balloons that lifts the house up to 10,000 ft for a good hour.







Granted, I don't know what the house was made of or if there was even anything in there, but I'm sure they built the house as economically as possible. It's still awesome though. View more pics at the National Geographic blog.

Hosni Mubarak is a Fool

"The police cannot kill us because we, to all practical purposes, are already dead." -Sami Imam, an Egyptian citizen. It's seems absurd that any government thinks it's even possible to physically ban protests. Making that kind of law is like asking the people to protest the shit out themselves.

Jane Austen's Fight Club

What is up with pairing Pride and Prejudice with weird shit? Like Zombies? Or in this case, Fight Club? This fake trailer for a Jane Austen "Fight Club" starts out slow but I won't pretend I wasn't laughing at the Tyler Durden mockery at the end.



Is it okay that I really like that faux leopard print jacket?

Cheetah Girl Gone Wild

LOL, i'm sorry wat? This music video is seriously OOC. sooo out of control. Keily Williams, member of the Cheetah Girls and 3LW is apparently a sexpot.

American Born al-Qaida?

This is bizarre to me, but this guy Adam Gadahn, who's grandfather is JEWISH, converted to Islam and then moved to Pakistan in '98 and became a major al-Qaida member who has appeared in countless video threats. Gadahn grew up on a goat farm in Riverside County, California, and converted to Islam at a mosque in nearby Orange County. WHAT A WACKO.

In this video of one of his crazy speeches, ya boy has a clearly fake accent and a disgusting beard. HEY, yo, anyone tell you that you're not actually pakistani?

Certified Crazy Person

Some wacko, Joseph Andrew Stack, set his house on fire and then crashed his plane into the IRS office building in Austin, Texas. Apparently he had some tax problems... yet he had the cash money to own an airplane. What a tough life. He had a website (read: internet diary?) in which he posted a long rant about the federal tax system, but the host website took down the site due to the sensitive nature of the situation:

"I saw it written once that the definition of insanity is repeating the same process over and over and expecting the outcome to suddenly be different. I am finally ready to stop this insanity. Well, Mr. Big Brother IRS man, let's try something different; take my pound of flesh and sleep well," the diatribe read.
