OK, what. the. f**k is going on here? If I were a celebrity, I would be very afraid for my life – Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson and now king of the television pitchmen, Billy Mays, all dead within five days of each other. Mays, 50, was found dead early this morning at his home in Tampa, Florida, by his wife. Police say no foul play is suspected, TMZ.com is reporting.

So to honor this fallen icon of 4am television, here is The Best of Billy Mays – Video Remix Edition.

RIP, Billy – buying stuff off the TV will never be the same without you.

Who the hell wouldn’t want to start their very own religious cult? But where do you start? Obviously, the first thing needed in starting a religious cult is an ultra-cool cult wardrobe.

That’s where Snuggies comes in. Late one night I saw this commercial come on for the Snuggies’ blanket that you, and your family are supposed to wear like a Jedi robe. I said to myself, “Well f*ck me sideways, this would be the perfect uniform I’d have my followers wear when they drink the tainted grape Kool Aid.” Get yours today!

Are you sitting down? Ok. Apparently, a Tennessee Highway Patrol helicopter spotted a massive marijuana-growing operation in Cherokee National Forest, just miles from the Tennessee/North Carolina border. The officers seized 35,000 plants, equaling $700 million in “street value” prices.

Authorities found a campsite near the harvest, which is suspected to have been occupied by the illicit farmers. Though no one was found at the camp, arrests are expected soon, says KnoxNews.com.

Let’s just get something straight: That…is a f**kload of pot. We don’t know what they did with it, but probably the plants were destroyed. For a country that loves money (and smoking weed) as much as we do, that seems like an idiotic waste of product.

Fun fact: Blue Moon is a Coors product. Some may know this, but it’s important enough to bring up when reviewing this very un-Coors like brew.

Blue Moon, a white beer, has a carbonated-pulp look not unlike Orangina. And funny enough, it also has a citrus-infused taste that’s usually complimented by a slice of orange when served at certain bars. While a slice of orange may be overkill to most it does effectively intensify the fruity aroma Blue Moon wears ever-so-proudly.

The brew’s closest relative (and competition) would unfortunately be Hoegaarden, high-shaman of the sweet beer stable. To compare the two is quite unfair, seeing that Hoegaarden is far more expensive – and far more tasty, admittingly.

Calling Blue Moon a low-rent Hoegaarden may seem a bit harsh; but considering the quality of the beer it’s being compared to you could do far, far worse in terms of taste. Sure it’s more “watery,” but not as watered-down as Natty Ice and beers of that ilk.

My preferred time to drink Blue Moon would have to be in the late, autumnal hours of October…like right now! (more…)
