Bumper crop of Super Bowl teaser adsMatthew Broderick’s Ferris Bueller tease is just one of the Super Bowl ad promos hitting YouTube. Here’s a selection of them, including one from Volkswagen that looks something like an Alpo ad for the Empire. Matthew Broderick teases Ferris Bueller Super Bowl adBueller? Bueller? The web is abuzz that Ferris himself may return during the Super Bowl, or maybe even to theaters, after a cryptic video was posted on YouTube today. The video shows Matthew Broderick throwing open some curtains and asking, “How can I handle work on a day like today?” The very Bueller “Oh Yeah” song by Yello plays as the date of the Super Bowl is flashed. Is the tease for a big-budget ad or maybe even a much-belated sequel? The former is more likely than the latter, but we’ll just have to see. A note posted with the video says, “We hate to be such a tease, but on a day like today, we just have to. Stick it out until the Super Bowl, or take a ‘day off’ on Monday and catch the big reveal.” Paula Deen caught on video chowing down on cheeseburgerPaula Deen isn’t letting Type 2 diabetes keep her down.

Girl collapses after eating mostly chicken nuggets for 15 yearsIn a chicken-flavored version of the “Super Size Me” documentary, a British girl is apparently dealing with the consequences of eating nothing but chicken nuggets and french fries for 15 straight years. According to tabloids The Sun and the Daily Mail, 17-year-old Stacey Irvine of Birmingham has been eating chicken nuggets since the age of 2. Recently, she was rushed to the hospital after collapsing at work. Doctors found she had anemia and swollen veins in her tongue. But of course, that could prove to be merely a bump in the road for her nugget-mania. She told The Sun:
Irvine’s mom Evonne is — like any good parent whose daughter has eaten chicken nuggets for 15 years – exasperated:
Those damned nuggets. This makes Morgan Spurlock’s hamburger-infused “Super Size Me” diet seem positively healthy. At least burgers have lettuce, right? Wal-Mart removes store greeters from overnight shiftsThe beloved Walmart greeters, who welcome shoppers as they enter the automatic doors and grab their carts at the big-box store, will no longer be there to say hi during all hours of the night, Bloomberg News reported. After three decades, the company decided to remove greeters from the 10 p.m. to 7 a.m. shift at U.S. stores as a way to save money and use staff more efficiently. From the story:
The greeters can face difficult or even violent shoppers, like the New Yorker who punched a 70-year-old greeter asking for her receipt in December or the Ohio woman who choked a greeter earlier last year. Leprosy group wants ‘Pirates’ to walk the plankThe British animator Aardman will change a scene in its upcoming film, “Pirates: Band of Misfits,” after objections from leprosy advocacy groups, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The groups that came out against the scene include Lepra Health In Action and the International Federation of Anti-Leprosy Associations.
The filmmaker will alter the scene “out of respect and sensitivity for those who suffer from leprosy,” Aardman said in a statement. -Anna Gallegos A star is born: New dad freestyles to fetal monitorAs he waited for his new son to arrive in the delivery room, U.S. Air Force Sgt.
