SUCKS TO BE killed by a porn movie

The killer

The killer

There are a lot of ways to go. But this might be the strangest. Nicola Paginton, a 30-year-old nanny from England died of heart arrhythmia brought on by her self-induced state of sexual arousal.

Yep Ron Jeremy and a vibrating wand conspired to kill her.

Granted, there are suckier ways to kick the bucket. But to be found by the coroner with your g-string down to your ankles and an ElectroDix still trying to mount you, that’s a pretty crappy way to say goodbye to the world.

And the suckiest part of it all? The movie was a one-day rental. And we’re pretty sure she’s not going to get it back in time.

Sucks to have late fees.

SUCKS TO BE a DIYer down under

Monday, September 7th, 2009

ladder-fallAttention handymen of New Zealand:  Put down the nail gun. Drop the power painter.  Move away from the instruction manual on how to rewire your house.

Now go back to the safety of your couch and watch the kangaroo races, like you’re supposed to.

You see, a recent study shows that DIY disasters kill nearly 600 people a year in that country. That’s 11 people who die each week from running themselves over with the lawnmower or lobbing their necks off with the weed whacker or falling to their dirtnaps because a shingle was missing on the roof.

The study doesn’t reveal why so many folks in that country are incapable of surviving the honey-do list. It might have something to do with the fact that power tools and 240 ounces of Fosters Lager don’t mix.

The good news is that men of New Zealand now have a rock solid reason for getting out of all that work. The bad news? With all that time on their hands, they now may be forced to go shopping with their wives. Which, as any guy can attest, is a fate worse than death.

SUCKS TO BE a celebrity — any celebrity — who is currently drawing a breath this week

Billy_maysIf you’re a TV star, a musical icon, a movie actor or, hell, an extra in the community theater version of Guys and Dolls, run for cover. Because the Grim Reaper is looking for you. Or so it seems. This week, he’s taken swipes at all levels of fame. Already he voted Ed McMahon, Farrah and the King of Pop and Pedophilia off the island.

And just when we thought the coast was clear, he  knocked off the OxiClean king himself, Billy Mays.

A commercial spokesman, GR? Really? You had to go and kill that guy off? That’s not very nice of you. He was like family to insomniacs surfing cable at 3 am.

Hey, we hate commercial breaks as much as you, big guy. Nothing is more annoying than having the climactic rose moment on The Bachelor interrupted by Florence Henderson selling me a bottle of Crisco. But use the FF button on your DVR for crying out loud. Don’t resort to this.

And who’s next on your commercial hit list? Please, not the Geico Gekko. Not the Priceline Negotiator. Not the Roaming Gnome.

Wait…the Roaming Gnome….hmmm….ok, maybe just one more day of fun for you.

SUCKS TO BE a music fan today

Friday, June 26th, 2009

michael-jackson-michael-jackson-41269_1024_768Love him or hate him, you can’t deny the impact Michael Jackson had on popular music. His iconic moonwalk. His trademark sequined glove. And the songs. “Billy Jean.” “Wanna Be Starting Somethin’.” “Beat It.” “Bad.” “Black or White.” The list is as long as the line for the ferris wheel at the Neverland Ranch.  Michael Jackson was the Elvis of the ’80s. The Beatles of the next generation. And ya know, despite all the weird wacky shit he pulled for the last decade and a half, and the fact that he robbed us of thousands of hours of our TV time with his bizarre interviews, his inexplicable antics and his seemingly endless trials, I’m gonna miss him.

So thanks, Michael. Thanks for letting us all rock with you.

Goodbye to our first true love. We will miss you, Farrah.

SUCKS TO BE the most powerful pussy in the world

Monday, January 5th, 2009

PH2009010600756Life at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue has taken a heavy toll on all members of the Bush family over the last eight years—most notably on their cat India, who died Sunday at the White House at the age of 18. Which means the title “most powerful pussy in the world” once again belongs to Barbara Bush, Sr., who has had two presidents and a governor inside hers.
