What Should Stephen Colbert Do With His $1 Million in Super-PAC Money? People all over are making suggestions -and they’re not all “give it to me!”
*
What we really need is a old-school role-playing video game based on the TV series Breaking Bad. Your role, of course, is the meth maker.
*
Imagine the worst film adaptation of a board game you can imagine, and this will beat it. Adam Sandler will star in a movie based on the game Candyland.
*
Sheep are pretty dumb, and tend to follow the sheep in front of them no matter what. When they go in circles and won’t stop, you’ve got a sheep cyclone.
*
Two women drove down a boat ramp into a dark lake, but a sheriff’s deputy smashed the window and pulled them out just before the car sank. And it was all captured on his police car’s dashboard camera.
*
Math whiz and entertainer Vi Hart is okay with Spongebob, Squidward, Patrick, and Gary, but that pineapple house? It’s just not realistic!
*
When the best of the best break dancers get together for a tournament, one thing is guaranteed: they will make you feel awkward, graceless, and out of shape.
*
A portable house that fits in your pocket? Thanks to space-age materials (and no furnishings), the inflatable Basic House might just do in an emergency.
*
8 controversial Super Bowl halftime shows. Madonna is expected to try for a spot on the list with her performance this Sunday.
*
10 Mad Scientists. No, not from the movies, but the real life models for that type of character.

  1. This may be a silly question regarding the pocket house– but if it uses the sun’s heat to inflate, what will happen to it at night?

  2. I followed the links to the video page, which helpfully has an English description. Part of it says, “self inflates with body heat or from the heat of the sun” but that doesn’t mean I understand it.

  3. If it “self-inflates with body heat” then would it really be a good idea to put it in your pocket? Just wondering… LOL

  4. Add to the list of mad scientists William Thornton, the architect of the Capitol Building, who wanted to raise George Washington from the dead and had a plan to do it. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2093406/Zombie-George-Washington-How-mad-scientist-planned-reanimate-president-lambs-blood-died.html?ito=feeds-newsxml

  5. Speaking of movies based on board games, there’s a great parody trailer imagining one based on Monopoly.
