The Deal-E-O

The online gambling site Bovada.lv is offering some crazy Super Bowl betting opportunities, including one where you can put money on whether or not KELLY CLARKSON screws up the National Anthem.

 Here's a list of some of the bizarre lines, with the odds as of last night.

 "Will Kelly Clarkson forget or omit at least one word of the National Anthem?"  (Yes, 5/2)

"What will Kelly Clarkson wear to sing the National Anthem?"  Your choices are:  An official NFL or Super Bowl shirt (9/4) . . . a Colts jersey (7/1) . . . a Giants jersey (15/1) . . . a Patriots jersey (15/1) . . . or anything else (1/3).

"Will Kelly Clarkson's bare belly be showing when she sings the National Anthem?"  (Yes, 3/1)

"What color will Madonna's hair be when she begins the Super Bowl halftime show?"  Your choices are:  Blonde (1/4) or any other color (5/2).

"Will Madonna be wearing fishnet stockings at any point during the Super Bowl halftime show?"  (Yes, 5/6)  You can also bet on if she'll wear an NFL jersey or shirt (5/2) . . . a hat (5/6) . . . and if she'll have a headset (1/3) or a handheld microphone (2/1).

(--Sadly, you can't bet on whether or not those things will be ON.)

 "How many times will Peyton Manning be shown on TV during the game?"  (The over / under is 3.5), and "How many times will Tom Brady's wife Giselle Bundchen be shown on TV during the game?"  (The over / under is 0.5)

 (--They spelled Gisele with two Ls.  Odds of someone noticing that:  Now 1/1.)

 "If Tom Brady's son is shown on TV during the game will he be wearing a Tom Brady jersey?"  (Yes, 10/17)  There's no line on him wearing an Eli Manning jersey . . . but considering the insane odds of that, I would've dropped a buck on it.

 "What color will the Gatorade (or liquid) be that's dumped on the winning head coach?"  The choices are:  Clear / water (3/2) . . . orange (5/2) . . . yellow (5/2) . . . red (13/2) . . . green (15/2) . . . and blue (10/1).

 (--It's fun that they have all these crazy lines, but my question is:  Can't this be abused?  What's stopping Kelly Clarkson from telling one of her friends that she's going to wear a Giants jersey . . . and getting them a 15-to-1 return?)

One of the biggest myths of our time has been busted:  SpongeBob SquarePants does NOT live in a pineapple under the sea!

A chick mathematician named VI HART has posted a video on YouTube declaring that SpongeBob's house can't possibly be a pineapple...

If you grew up in late '70s or '80s, you might remember a song from "Sesame Street" called, "I Don't Want to Live on the Moon".  Ernie sang it, and it was about wanting to VISIT the moon, but not actually live there.
Well, FunnyOrDie.com has a new parody of it about NEWT GINGRICH, who wants to have a moon base by 2020.  According to the song, he wants to move there, and find a hot young moon-wife.

There's a cool new video on YouTube of remote control airplanes shaped like PEOPLE flying around New York City.  It turns out it's a viral marketing video for the new movie "Chronicle", which is about teenagers who develop superpowers.
(They start flying at :32.)

 Last month, Eric Bolling from the Fox Business channel accused the new Muppet movie of being left-leaning and brainwashing kids.  He specifically had an issue with the villain being a rich oil executive.
Well, after "The Muppets" premiered in London on Thursday, KERMIT and MISS PIGGY were asked about it in a press conference, and Miss Piggy went after Fox News, saying quote, "It's almost as laughable as accusing Fox News of being NEWS."

DISCLAIMER: Okay, this comes from MoveOn.ORG, but it's pretty funny.

JUSTIN LONG plays MITT ROMNEY firing employees at Bain Capital.
It's a parody of "The Office", with Romney as the boss.  And he says he enjoys nothing more than firing people in new, creative ways . . . like with a birthday cake that says, quote, "Clear Your Desk Out by Five O'Clock."
(--Obviously he's not anywhere close to Romney's age.  But he's got a ton of make-up on, and his impression is pretty decent.)

If you don't know what a "guitar swing" is, it's when you throw your guitar around your back in the middle of a song using the strap, then you catch it when it comes back around and keep playing.  And when it's done right, you look like a total bad@ss.  And when it's done wrong...well, see below.

GUITAR ABUSE!

RAFAEL NADAL beat ROGER FEDERER yesterday morning in the men's semifinals of the Australian Open.  But one of the best moments of the match actually came from one of the BALL BOYS.
Federer faulted on a serve, then hit the ball pretty hard in the kid's general direction.  But the kid reached out and snagged it with one hand.  I'd day he's wasting his life on this silly sport- the Twinkies need to get this phenom a conract!

If you've ever wondered what happens when you microwave aluminum foil, a light bulb, or a WHOLE WATERMELON, check out an ad on YouTube for the restaurant Moe's Southwestern Grill.
To advertize the fact that they cook everything fresh, they microwaved a bunch of weird stuff, and shot slow-motion video of it exploding.

NBC is toying with the idea of doing a spin-off of "The Office" starring Dwight . . . who's played by RAINN WILSON.

 "Sources" say the show wouldn't take place in the office this time . . . it'd follow Dwight's life on his family's beet farm and bed & breakfast, which has been featured on "The Office" several times.  If this happens, it's unclear what this means for Dwight's future on "The Office" . . . and the future of "The Office" altogether.  The show hasn't been picked up for a ninth season yet, but the "Hollywood Reporter" says that's "likely" to happen.

The untitled Dwight show wouldn't begin until "early 2013."

(--By the way, TripAdvisor.com has a page for the fictional Schrute Farms.  You can find it, here.)

If you think YOUR commute sucks, check out a video called "Driving in Chechnya".  First, someone uses a MACHINE GUN like it's their HORN.  Then someone else gets rammed off the road.

Apparently speeling was not hy on the pryoruhtees at this shcool.
