Inbox of Immaturity

Switching gears from the last post (which I’m going to have to get used to), here’s some silliness that came into my life this week.

Rich, hip, male college students everywhere are going to go wild for the weather thanks to Maxim.

Though I don’t think we’ll be seeing Obama on The Moment of Truth anytime soon, I’m pretty sure he’d pass denying these allegations. (Viral note: up to 100,000 views in 1 week.)

You’ve seen Hakeem’s psychic abilities. What you didn’t know was that this was also happening last weekend – sad.

Staying on the sports tip, my friend Jake has written a great post on fan etiquette, complete with the infamous UNCriers.

And finally, it doesn’t get much more immature than a 26 year-old creating a facebook group to petition Mark Z. to edit the “edit friend details” options. It’s all for learning and fun. (At least that’s what I keep telling myself.)

Plus, it’s not like I’m 30 and competing in The Gauntlet III! However, I did watch the season premiere, and it’s going to be awesome!

This week saw some major stories in immaturity. Undoubtedly, you’ve heard about and/or seen them as well. So apologies if I’m not giving most of you anything new. Hopefully I’m keeping a few of you in the loop. Either way, I’m keeping all this ridiculousness in one place, so when that time comes down the road where you need to reference these stories (or other similarly themed moments), you can come here and search the IOI. These don’t need any introduction.

Tom Cruise talks about Scientology.
Colbert gets hung in the Smithsonian.
Aussie Spicoli knows how to party. And you can party in a tribute t-shirt.

And just in case you want a taste of immaturity at the personal level, let me give you a more inside view at the conversations amongst my friends on email. This week one buddy wrote that he was “feening for a fortune cookie.” Another replied, “what’s feening mean?” The original feener went straight to the Urban Dictionary for the answer. The end. Hope you learned something…about Jodeci at the very least.

My friends and I have had this argument in many forms over the past 8 years or so. Some debates are well-documented (on our xanga page). We’re pretty smart dudes (which may be debatable as well given we’ve had this discussion multiple times in various types) and have applied our own logic, but never before have we had a tool to answer this question. (“Tool” as in useful test not loser.) In fact, the site was inspired by an online forum post. So the question, if you haven’t already read ahead or been distracted by the beautiful graphic below—Obey my dog!—is: How many five year olds can (one of) you take in a fight?
14

Looking for payday loan?

Yes, I’m a huge wimp – but I also answered honestly and would have a problem picking one of the kids up and using him as a weapon!

So anyway, take the survey and let me know how much more of a bad-ass you are than me. (Or is it “than I”? – Please answer this as well.)

Sticking with the fighting/competing theme… Many of you probably saw this a while back (I actually posted it in an IOI back at Fallon), but since American Gladiators is topical it has made a comeback amongst my buddies. Yes, Malibu is truly amazing – though not as pretty as Titan.

Another not so pretty thing comes from the college sports world. The video actually has a setup card before showing the clip, so I’ll just send you to the Texas Tech “Bell Ringer”.

And lastly, (I guess this one also follows the story’s progression) a link that I frankly don’t find funny at all. I do find it pretty disgusting and putting the Advisory Nasty stamp on it (which will probably make more of you watch than act as a deterrent) But I’m just here to report, and sometimes what you’re sent is this. (I have no idea what it’s for, if anything.)

As promised, Funny or Die brings you this short work-week’s break. I remember the joy I found in finding DailyTube – I thought I’d just scan the filtered videos and post my favorites if ever I lacked immaturity for a week. However, due to forgetfulness coupled with my desire to keep this as authentic as possible, I left that site alone until today when I thought about how I almost claimed it to be my YouTube killer (or more like a new friend that I started to spend more time with and not call YouTube over for pizza rolls and NHL ‘95 on Sega Genesis anymore). Well, now I am cautious of making a ridiculous claim about Funny or Die but do want to say there are some real gems on the site. I encourage you to check out “The Green Team”, for example, which like the video below was passed on to me by a co-worker.
I had a few resolutions but none of them will impact my immaturity level and ability to bring it to you on (for the most part) a weekly basis. More on resolutions in my next post.

EXTRA: Beer Pong Tournament announcement in Vegas.

Inbox of Immaturity: Back-to-Back

As one week of immaturity ends, another one begins. This is totally up my alley and hopefully will be up yours as well. Yeah, up yours. While watching Jason perform on Celebrity Rap Superstar annoys me to no end, Justin Bobby does quite the opposite. So you can imagine my excitement to find a JB and Audrina spoof by real actors!

I have been back this site since The Landlord skit that basically launched it, but you can be sure I’ll be checking back in with FunnyorDie soon.

And lastly, may as well remind you all here that the season Finale for A Shot at Love with Tila Tequila is Tuesday night at 10PM. There’s a show that will certainly help make the point of the video above. We all need those writers back working.
