Breaking News: Video of David Cook’s CSC Cancelation
March 30, 2009
Here’s the video of David Cook’s cancelation of his shows at Colby-Sawyer College and Southern Connecticut.
So do I have to refund the money I sold the ticket for? Heres a sentence I never thought I would say in my life: David Cook owes a lot of people at Colby-Sawyer a lot of money.

David Cook Cancels Colby-Sawyer Show
March 29, 2009
So guess what? David Cook isn’t coming to CSC after all. The American Idol winner has been called away because of a “family emergency” in the middle of his tour, leaving both fans of Cook and Colby-Sawyer students who planned on him as our “Big Act” for this year disappointed.
Talk to the hand 'cause the face ain't showing up.
Cook fans are probably more upset that their hero is a no show. CSC students however will be upset that, for the second year in a row, they have lost another opportunity to be belligerent at a concert on campus on a weeknight.
Since I was planning on not attending the show in the first place, I’m more disappointed in the student group that got him to come here in the first place- CAB.
Why is it CAB who is to blame? Because even when they were on a budget, got a once-in a lifetime chance of luck, promenaded around showing off that they got David Cook (at a discount price), tried to show how awesome they are and the gods still tell them how much they suck and shit all over their lives.
CAB. Next time you get a big act, much like I pointed out in my earlier post, make sure you get someone that is a.) good b.) still a good band even if you’re on a budget (Reel Big Fish, Less Than Jake, Any comedian from SNL, etc.) and c.) has a high probability of showing up.
I’m not going after David Cook, if it is a family emergency I totally understand. I am however going after our horrendous Campus Activities Board. The same one that screwed up their budget so badly last year that we did’nt have a Big Act and this year lucked out and couldn’t (or didn’t) think of an alternative if the act had to back out at the last minute.
And they say The Courier doesn’t know what they’re doing.
Fuck you CAB. You really grind my gears.

EDIT: For those yelling at me for placing the blame on CAB remember that when they usually plan the Big Act they send out a survey or have a table at lunch for a week that tell us to vote on our top favorite act that they have picked from. I do not remember seeing that at all during the Fall and never during the beginning of Spring term so I feel that CAB did not do their research in the first place when they picked David Cook to come here. The student body did’nt pick David Cook- CAB did.
Shamwow Guy Arrested for violently beating prositute
March 29, 2009
From The Smoking Gun:
“Meet Vince Shlomi. He’s probably better known to you as the ShamWow Guy, the ubiquitous television pitchman who has been phenomenally successful peddling absorbent towels and food choppers. Shlomi, 44, was arrested last month on a felony battery charge following a violent confrontation with a prostitute in his South Beach hotel room. According to an arrest affidavit, Shlomi met Sasha Harris, 26, at a Miami Beach nightclub on February 7 and subsequently retired with her to his $750 room at the lavish Setai hotel. Shlomi told cops he paid Harris about $1000 in cash after she “propositioned him for straight sex.” Shlomi said that when he kissed Harris, she suddenly “bit his tongue and would not let go.” Shlomi then punched Harris several times until she released his tongue. The affidavit notes that during the 4 AM fight Harris sustained facial fractures and lacerations all over her face.”
Dude needs a Shamwow to clean up all that ugly
This is how I see it going down:
Hey bitch! Shamwow guy going to beat the shit out of you if you don’t give me a free blow job. Do you know who I am? I’m the motherfucking Shamwow AND Slapchop guy! I will beat you with my Shamwow- it absorbs as much as 80% of the blood from your face and its made in Germany so you know its good! Bitch better kiss me- what the fuck! You bit me! YOU BIT SHAMWOW! I will kill you as soon as I absorb this blood…dude this fucking towel sucks.”
Dude. This just made my day. What’s next? Billy Mays gets caught peddling cocaine to small children outside of elementary schools?

New Thursday Video
March 29, 2009
Thursday- Resuscitation of a Dead Man
Here’s the new single off of Thursday’s newest album Common Existence.
I have to say, I really feel old when the lead singer from Thursday starts looking older and older every year. A part of my emotional teenage years were dedicated to listening to Thursday (or The Get Up Kids depending on my mood.)
This song brings me back to those rage-filled afternoons where my parents just didnt understand me for who I was and what I wanted to do with my life. Uggghhhh parents…
Somthing about when he says “Let’s restart it/With a gentle hand/With a thousand voices/With a single word” brings me right back to days long gone when things were simpler and all I had to worry about was getting to class on time and hate on those pesky jocks who got all the cool girls and people didnt understand me for who I was (cue bad emo band).
Anyway, sick song-sweet video-pick up Common Existence, its Thursday- where can you go wrong?
Check it out under the Music tab alongside other tasty tunes.

Thank god for Ukranian Folk versions of Katy Perry songs
March 26, 2009
Ukraine- An ex-Soviet satillite that is home to beets, horses that are used to farm beets, and farmers that pay each other in beets. Also it is the home to folk-music power house Los Colorados who have lovingly preformed Katy Perry’s smash hit, “Hot and Cold,” for your listening enjoyment.
Oh Ukraine….never give up your dreams of pop music stardom.

Loved the creepy weather guy on the left. He was doing his best funeral home worker-weird hand movement impression. Also, when you get a news anchor job, don’t they teach you how to react to things that are inevitably going to go wrong? Boom goes the dynamite.
