The headline says it all, really.

A man who ran naked through the Stateline casino core was subdued by a Taser on Tuesday before a group of “startled” children in the Harrah’s Lake Tahoe casino arcade. Sean Stanley Smith, 19, was jailed on charges of indecent exposure and resisting a peace officer.

He reportedly told officers he had ingested marijuana and LSD, and was running naked because he thought he was “the Terminator.” Smith reportedly ran into the arcade, startling the children who were playing video games.

The report doesn’t say whether he asked the kids for the location of one John Connor, but I’d say that’s a fair assumption. Cheers for the headsup from the always reliable Slashfilm as I’ll be laughing about this all week.

Behold the first of what is sure to be many clips, one of the first videos taken with my new camera! Oooh, shiny and nice…

Jerome, Pete, Grant and I went only to try on our suits, but I made a shocking discovery regarding the building next door that I felt needed to be shared with you all.

If you want, I may even go in when we go back…

Man vs Wild is one of my favourite tv shows. Bear Grylls is the manliest man on the planet; I also look at him as the nega-me, my parallel opposite. Our worlds will never, and should never, meet. He retired from the SAS after breaking his back in three places, rehabilitated then scaled Everest. I don’t even like going outside to get the mail.

Mind you, I think it is bloody useful to know what to do if I get stuck in the desert and come across a dead camel. This as close to sleeping in a Tauntaun we’ll ever get.

If you’ve not seen the ep of Man vs Wild where he and Will Ferrell spend a weekend hiking in freezing snow, you really should do yourself the favour. You’ll see Ferrell take the clown mask off and open up. He’s a smart guy, and Bear really brings it out of him.

What’s making these watermelons wriggle?!

Stick with it – Bill gets real awesome around 2.02.

I have never tried Jell-O Pudding. I’ve added it to my list of things I must do when I am stateside – if you’re lucky, I might even film it like I’ll be filming my visit to In N Out for the best burgers around.

Lol.

Mr T’s World of Warcraft ad (Seriously lol):

And now, for the Mr T Snickers ad you probably didn’t see:

From wiki:

“He has also appeared on some Comcast commercials, and in the United Kingdom, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand during 2007, advertising the chocolate bar Snickers with the slogan “Get Some Nuts!”. One of these commercials, featuring Mr. T crashing through a wall on the back of flat-bed truck before firing Snickers bars at a speed walker wearing tight-fitting yellow shorts, was pulled by Mars following a complaint by the US-based group Human Rights Campaign, despite the fact that the advert had never been shown outside the UK. The group alleged that the commercial promoted the idea that violence against gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender people “is not only acceptable, but humorous”.”

The Hangover is still killing it in cinemas, the film is a bonafide hit and the three leads are all certified, bankable comedy stars now. Bradley Cooper looks to be playing Face in A-Team, Ed Helms is doing a Renaissance Fair comedy and Zach Galifiankis is… an office worker concerned he’ll literally explode from pressure?! This could be an awesome companion piece to Office Space:

How gloriously indie. I will love this film, of this I have no doubt, if only just for Zach’s insane meltdowns. He’s the best there is at crazy.

Lily Allen is rad and if you think otherwise, go take a long walk off a short bridge. She’s fiesty as hell, says what she wants and, unlike a certain Transformers star, has the brains and charm to pull it off. If you don’t like her stuff, Lily’s stunning trippy new video has a message for you:

Don’t go changin just to please me, yeah? Love it.

Independence Day was yesterday; it is often good for lulz. I watched some of Team America to celebrate. I also forced my neighbour into my way of thinking, this time in regards to Empire Strikes Back being far superior to Return of the Jedi (FACT)

And then I came across this, started laughing and couldn’t stop. Fist pumping action!

Fuck yeah. The Marvel-produced Captain America movie due in 2011/2012 is gonna whup my ass!
