Alien lifeform in North Carolina sewers?

WARNING: Do not watch this video around lunchtime.

God knows what abomination this sewer cam has caught (and why have a sewer cam in the first place?!), but it appears to pulse, throb and disgust. Are we seeing the infancy of a real-life Blob hell-bent on the eradication of all humans? Is it some bizarre, new, benign lifeform who will teach us the mysteries of the universe? Is this just some god-awful surgery video mashed up with footage of a sewer? Is it a hoax?

I DON'T KNOW. And I'm not sure I want to know.

TV reporter slaps rude guy

KTNV-Las Vegas reporter Steve Ryan put the action in action news when he slapped a guy who interrupted his live shot about Michael Jackson.

I like when Ryan says, "As you can see he's a little out of control, but you can't blame him for that." Huh?

Sports figures' rants set to beats in "Press Hop"

It's amazing what you can do with some music, amusing sports TV clips and good editing software.

Kudos to Steve Porter for taking the time. And thanks to WTN fan/Twitter guru Toby Srebnik for the heads up on this.

Twitter kills Jeff Goldblum

Just as Twitter gave us those amazing photos of the plane crashing in the Hudson River and minute-by-minute updates about Michael Jackson, it also brought us reports last week that actor Jeff Goldblum died when he fell off a cliff in New Zealand.

Based on his Monday appearance on the Colbert Report, it appears he's very much alive. Or is he?

Big waterspout off of Jacksonville

An impressive waterspout formed last week near downtown Jacksonville. I'm always impressed by people who can calmly film weather events like this.

New condition afflicting gamers: Duke Nukem's disease

As a recovering sufferer of Duke Nukem's disease because of my excessive first-person shooter video game playing (Anyone up for a round of TF2!? No? What about CS:S? COD4?!? PLEASE?!), I fully support the publicizing of this growing problem.

Let's help remove the stigma of a crippling disease that makes people flip out when they see barrels (they might explode!), climb up on any crates they see (hidden items might be up there!), crawl through air ducts (well, it was open), and carry around crowbars and pipe wrenches for no apparent reason (to be fair, you never know).

Thanks to my buddy Vinod (who is actually an artist on a first-person shooter being made) for sending this my way.

Prisoners say farewell to Michael Jackson

Remember the Thriller dance by the 1,500 Filipino prisoners at the Cebu Provincial Detention and Rehabilitation Center? After learning about Michael Jackson's death, they choreographed a new number in his honor.

The Thriller dance was much better. It was Number 3 in Watch This Now's Top 10 Viral Video Clips of 2007.
