Some of them may actually have been recorded in ’04, but came to light this past year.  So now, without further adieu (not that there’s been much adieu at all, but… just play along), I present the TOP 5 VIDEOS of the year!

5. Burger King Ball Thief
LOL!  I thought this guy was an idiot at first, but upon further reflection… I think it might be worth the misdemeanor charge for being able to tell everyone that you stole a football from Brett Favre during an NFL game!!

4. Florida Taser Chick
This would actually be Number 1 if it were the Top Audio clips… simply hilarious!  HANDY TIP: When a cop is pointing at you with a taser asking you to put your cell phone down, your response should not be: “No, I’m callin’ somebody!”

3. Shoo Shoo Retarded Flu
A couple of Howard Stern writers killed with this phony phone call to Whack Packer “Gary the Retard”.  Gary will do anything he can to prevent the evil flu from infecting him over the telephone!  Great animation.

2. Lazy Sunday

An instant classic.  Any skit with white guys rapping about cupcakes, Google Maps and Rachel McAdams is either going to be lame as hell, or hilarious.  This one may have you shooting Mr. Pibb through your nose!  UPDATE: get your very own Chris & Adam bobbleheads on eBay.

and number one…

1. McDonald’s Strip Search!
Simply the most unbelievable story of the year.  It’s impossible to explain, you simply have to watch the video for yourself.  How could a woman be so gullible, a girl so defenseless, a guy so creepy… and what was in it for the caller?!  Who had done this 70 times before!!

Honorable Mention

If this had a companion video, it would surely claim the top spot.  But Pat O’Brien’s (NSFW!) coked up & horny voicemails were still a RIOT!  Pat, you are so… f’in… HOT!!

OK, so I see the very cool Motorola RAZR cell phone — just about the coolest cell phone ever — on Buy.com for FREE after rebate (with 2-yr agreement, fair enough).

I’m ready to buy, and then decide to just view the rebate first (usually a PDF of a printable form).  To my surprise, this is what I see!!

Rebates have always been a nuisance, but this is simply an insult!

Let’s take a minute and break this down to look at some these gems:

“complete and sign the rebate form, provide copies of your sales receipt, guide
to wireless service, a copy of the UPC from the product packaging, and a copy of
a wireless bill for this account”
Is that all?  What exactly is a ‘guide to wireless service’?

“Claim must be postmarked no earlier than 180 days after activation and no later
than 210 days after activation”
So you have to wait 6 months to file this rebate (having kept all of the above in a safe place), and then you get one month to send it in?!  How generous!

“Your rebate check will be mailed within 10-12 weeks“
And then you get to wait another 3 months after that to actually get your money.

“To qualify and redeem the rebate, and to avoid an equipment discount charge back
of $250“
Ah yes, the KICKER !!  Not only are they holding your money for ransom, but also threatening to charge YOU $250 if you forget to file a rebate!!!
Absolutely LUDICROUS!!

Needless to say, Buy.com can stick this rebate. And the nerve they have to call it “Customer Appreciation”?!!

Funny skit from SNL Saturday night.

“It’s all about the HAMILTONS baby!!”  LOL

After 20 years in Philly, Howard Stern finally signs off "terrestrial" radio.

Yahoo! has live video coverage today.

Why not save 10% then? (Exp 12/18)
Huh?

If so, here’s a 30% off coupon at Borders for any one item! Expires 12/19.

Yes, ladies and germs… it’s that time of year again!
turn your sound up :)

Well, at least they made a game of it.  You just knew that, despite winning the coin toss, they were not going to be able to get the ball near scoring position.
(an aside: I’ve never heard a richer ‘thunk‘ then Akers’ crossbar hit last night!)

First off, time for some housecleaning.

Once the dead weight that is: Reno Mahe, Mark Simoneau, and Greg Lewis are gone, we can start to look for some capable replacements.

Next… how about we look for a ummm… I don’t know… wide receiver?! 
With you-know-who gone, and Toddie “Too Hottie” Pinkston our #1 guy
next year, we’re doomed for years of mediocrity to come if changes aren’t made.

There are many steps
you can take towards securing your PC.  I mentioned three
venerable AntiSpyware programs last week.  You should also have a
high-quality, always-running, always-updated virus scanner (I’ll delve
into those in the coming weeks).

But the easiest thing you can do, right now, is to stop using Internet Explorer.

The “ActiveX”
functionality, while created with the best of intentions, simply opens
your computer up to so many attacks, and can infect your computer instantaneously, that it is simply doing you more
harm than good.  You need to switch.

Start using the Firefox Web Browser.

Beginning next year, I will stop supporting people who contact me, telling me they’ve got the latest spyware, while using IE!

So, please, click the
big white button on the right-hand column (under Security).
NOTE: Each (free!) installation benefits the Baby O’Neill College Fund :))

It only takes a few minutes to
download & install — even on dialup.  You can import all your
regular bookmarks, cookies, etc.  Search Google from anywhere with
the handy Google Toolbar.  Plus, enjoy the benefits of
tabbed browsing.  Load 2, 5, 10 sites into one browser
window!  And since Firefox does not use ActiveX, it’s a huge
protection against the b*stards out there who have nothing better to do
than to cause hours and hours of frustration.
