The YouTube description is innocent enough (relatively speaking):

Wayne Spring of Albany, Lousisana After telling his FaceBook friends they could shoot up his T.V. if the Saints beat the Redskins, they showed up in full force after the Saints won in OT 33-30.

No words will do this justice, so just watch the video and enjoy one more game of the Saints incredible so-far undefeated season.

So let’s get the back story on this video which really can only be described as…America, Fuck Yeah!

Wayne Spring shot off his mouth. And then a firing squad of Saints fans shot up his 60-inch flat screen – may it rest in pieces.

The Louisiana man predicted a Washington Redskins’ victory over undefeated New Orleans last Sunday – and offered local fans a chance to blast his beloved television if the Saints prevailed.

They did, with a 33-30 overtime triumph. Within minutes, Spring’s phone was ringing madly. And then his Albany, La., driveway was filled with Saints fans fueled by vengeance and beer.

“They said they were coming with guns,” said Spring. “And then they were in my driveway. With guns.”

The executioners – most in Saints jerseys – shot his television to bits, the fusillade of handgun and rifle fire every bit as accurate as a Drew Brees bomb.

“They blew it to smithereens,” said Spring, who owns a pair of local trailer parks.

He taped the whole thing and posted it on YouTube, where it’s collected more than 150,000 viewings.

“I’m not sure if I was drinking or not when I made the offer,” Spring said yesterday. “But I know when they came here, some of those fellas were drinking.

So, to summarize. New Orleans Saints fan, doubting that his beloved New Orleans Saints could keep their undefeated season going against the so-so Redskins, decides to allow his [Facebook Friends] to shoot up his 60 inch flat screen TV is said beloved Saints win…which is supposedly what he wants to happen.

We doubt that the gun-toting fella with the Saints tattoo on the back of his neck/head would have ever made such a bet. Now the big question is, what happens when the Saints are 15-0 headed into the final game. What else will this gentleman offer to shoot up? Only time will tell.

The Luther ain’t got nothing on this:

In the midst of a staggering obesity epidemic in the US, KFC has doubled down on a high-calorie menu choice. KFC is now offering a “sandwich” which consists of bacon, two kinds of cheeses and sauce between two pieces of fried chicken. That’s right, fried chicken as a bun instead of bread.

But if our figures hold true, and KFC won’t confirm they don’t, the Double Down is more caloriffic than the Wendy’s Triple with Everything and Cheese (1700 mg sodium, 960 calories, 26 gms of fat), the Burger King Stacker Quad (1770 sodium, 1020 calories, 69 gms of fat), and compares closely to the fat, salt and calorie totals of three McDonalds Big Macs put together (3060 sodium, 1620 calories, 87 gms fat).

We love us some town halls, and though we don’t have much love for Barney Frank, this is awesome:

At one point, confronted by an audience member holding a picture of President Obama defaced to make Obama look like Hitler who asked how he could support Nazi policies, Frank asked “on what planet do you spend most of your time?” When asked if he would respond to the question, he said “trying to have a conversation with you would be like trying to argue with a dining room table.”

Two years ago we brought you the most ridiculous chains in hip-hop. This year we updated that list with more ridiculous hip hop chains.

Apparently we were too quick to put that second list together because Soulja Boy aka Soulja Boy Tell ‘Em has gone and gotten himself a Lamborghini Diamond Chain. But wait, there’s more. The chain comes off, and can be controlled with a remote control, making it possibly the most expensive toy-car/jewelry every produced.

RapRadar had this to say:

Now, I’ve never been one to clock another man’s paper, but I think it’s time for an intervention. A diamond encrusted toy car? I mean, really. You’re 19-years-old DeAndre. You know, an adult. Now would probably be a good time time to start acting like one. Yes, you’re entitled to spend your money however want, but as a public figure, your prodigal habits help perpetuate stereotypes regarding Blacks and finance. Hey, I’m no Suze Orman, but at least I’m smart enough to know the difference between guns and butter.

Well, what do you expect for a video entitled (by its author, on his own YouTube account) rich nigga shit pt. 6

Wow…sometimes the best way to pay tribute to someone is to say nothing at all. Unfortunately the tools of Coldplay somehow decided that an adult-contemporary cover of the Beastie Boys’ (You Gotta) Fight For Your Right (To Party) would be a nice way to pay their respects to recently cancer-stricken Adam Yauch. Hopefully by the time you read this Coldplay will have made a copyright claim to remove the video!

To see a proper tribute peep Jay-Z opening with No Sleep Til Brooklyn

This is sure to drive certain parts of Internets crazy:

A quick peek reveals that is exactly the case.

Granted, this was back in 2007…

“As I indicated before, I think that we’re going to have to have some system where people can buy into a larger pool. Right now their pool typically is the employer, but there are other ways of doing it. I would like to — I would hope that we could set up a system that allows those who can go through their employer to access a federal system or a state pool of some sort. But I don’t think we’re going to be able to eliminate employer coverage immediately. There’s going to be potentially some transition process. I can envision a decade out or 15 years out or 20 years out where we’ve got a much more portable system.”
