" Waiter , there's a whatchamacallit in my burger"

I was actually reading about a boy who got a finger in his sandwich, but then I found THIS.
No, thanks, I'll pass. 

Unbelievable isn't it?


Remember the classic
 " Waiter, what's that fly doing in my soup?" 
" Sir, I believe it's doing a backstroke".. 
Those jokes were funny. Yes they WERE. Now, it's a million dollar law suit.


Back in the days it was blasphemous if you found a strand of hair in your food, but now, that's like kiddie stuff. The ghouls of ghastliness are working overtime all over the world.


Disgruntled employees, careless workers, insect karma or just plain vicious cooks. Whatever the motive or explanation, the person at the end of the bite is always the victim.

Notes:

 1. Imagine finding one of these here. I know of one famous restaurant here, that served deep fried creepy crawlies in their lunch. Pass the puke bucket.
2. Have you had any thing similar?

The Shawarma /Avengers connection.

Avengers munchathon
I haven't seen the movie yet, now I'm dying to.


Earlier, I was reading about clever, strategic product placement and marketing in the movies.  Nothing scores like humour and this justifies that, again.

Product placement is a major revenue source and although there  is no specific brand mentioned here per se', the ripple effect is already in play. 


The Avengers, at a diner,  in costume, gulping and munching ravenously on a shawarma, in total silence,  after a tiring day of fighting villains. Absolutely hilarious.

Sales of shawarma are up by 80% already, within a week of release of the movie.


Goooo Shawarrrmaa!!


Note:
1. The Avengers trailer and reviews on imdb. (link)
2. Who's your favorite? I'm partial to Robert Downey Jr. Imagine if he hadn't been in rehab!!
3. Top of the Hollywood box office 3rd week straight.
4, Another of my favorite Rob Downey Jr. movies,(click here)  although it did have resemblances to another of my favorite movie of all times, featuring the hugely talented John Candy (click here).
5. Have you seen the movie? And...???

" So whaddya want me to do with the hole I dug, boss?"

Ok, so I first saw this piece of news about 3 days ago and chose to send it to the recycle bin....Didn't think it worthy of a mention here (just a week old and attitude already)...FAIL.

He is now on every news website I've been to. Foxnews, ndtv, cnn, daily mail...you name it. This guy is a celebrity there now. 


Now, what's strange is the people who came to bury the guy, don't blame the doctor who pulled the plug on him; they just wanna 'bury' the past and move on. In fact they even had an 'after-party'.

" I'll take a raincheck .."

Oh well..when it's not your time...it's not your time.

DA DA DOO DOO...ME WANT BOOBOO

Ok , ladies and gentlemen, please be seated for this one.

Do I have your attention now? Good. Even the cover is a jaw dropper. 

This one reminds me of the shit bucket that was kicked up in Norway, with the Indian family  and the 2 kids, who were 'deemed' unfit to be living with their parents, because they were fed by hand. You know that story.

 Now...why do I get this strange feeling this story is far more raw/controversial, but will end up being hosanna-ed  as the next best thing that ever happened to human evolution.

What the ...???

I'm no Socrates, but this could be more harmful than productive. Wonder what the husbands/fathers, of the kids, (in the story) have to say about this.

I'm a bit unsure what I'm feeling after reading it and a heck lot more unsure as to what this story falls under;

 strange, weird, sad, funny, scary..(as they have at the end of the article) but I know TIME is gonna be sold out faster than you can say ....boobies?

Notes:

1. This reminds me of the scene in the Adam Sandler movie, Grown Ups.

2. Any doctors/psychiatrists/social workers reading this? Drop a line or two on your thoughts.

3. Don't miss reading the reader's comments after the article. Really worth your time.

4. Sachin Tendulkar is also featured in this issue of TIME : God of Cricket.
