Steven Slater, don’t quit your day job. Oh, wait…

by:

Apparently, the dude who quit his job as a JetBlue flight attendant by telling a passenger to f-off, stealing a couple of beers and exiting via the jet’s emergency slide, is back.

Stephen Slater’s trying to grab the spotlight once again in an even more pathetic call for attention:

He’s rapping. Poorly.

(Actually, it’s an ad, but it’s still pathetic)

Enjoy the train wreck:

Four Loko bans spawn homebrews

by:

With states quickly moving to ban Four Loko and other caffeinated alcoholic drinks (and the FDA looking into a wider prohibition) the drink’s producer says they are dropping caffeine from the recipe.

I’ll admit to not fully understanding the phenomenon; in a moment of curiosity last week, I tried the Four Loko “purple drank” garbage and it mostly just made me drunk and sleepy. Perhaps, my addiction to late-night espressos has numbed my reaction to caffeine. The last thing I wanted was to reach for another one of these. Ever.

Nevertheless, it’s a bad idea.

But if The Man is cramping your style, the folks at BuzzFeed have taste-tested a homemade Four Loko recipe of their own. Like my dad told me when he gave 17-year-old-me his copy of Abbie Hoffman’s Steal This Book, “you can read this, just don’t do anything in here.”

Cee-Lo Green: Fox News, the other F-bomb

by:

Cee-Lo Green, whose runaway hit of the summer, “F*ck You,” appeared on the Colbert Report Tuesday, swapping out “Fox News” for the f-bomb…though in some circles there isn’t much of a difference.

Traitor: Cleveland’s response to LeBron’s Nike ad

by:

Apparently they haven’t forgiven LeBron in Cleveland, as evidenced by this response to Nike’s “Rise” commercial.

Brilliant.

Exploding MacBook Air: Hipsters and explosives don’t mix

by:

In case you needed more proof that hipsters and low-grade explosives don’t mix:

Steve Jobs recently announced the release of two new MacBook Air models, thus rendering older generation Airs completely useless to early adopters around the globe, a couple of dudes decided to blow up their ultra-light Apple laptop.

HERE’S WHAT HAPPENS:

Colorado waives medical-marijuana fee for the poor

by:

Medical-marijuana is becoming even more accessible in Colorado, at least for those deemed indigent by state bureaucrats.

The Rocky Mountain State is waiving the $90 application fee for the state’s medical-marijuana registry at the urging of the state legislature.

But not everybody is happy, critics argue the program isn’t as encompassing as they’d like it.

Paradoxically, spending all that money on marijuana might by why some people can’t afford the application:

Damien LaGoy, a medical-marijuana patient with HIV, said he makes $14 a month too much to qualify for the necessary programs to receive a fee waiver. Each month, LaGoy said, rent, food, health and marijuana payments leave him with too little money left over to afford the application fee. (Denver Post)

According to the Denver Post, the state may expand the program to include more poor patients.

On Jimmy McMillan: I don’t know karate, but I know karazy

by:

New York gubernatorial hopeful Jimmy McMillan, of the Rent is 2 Damn High Party, may not have won Monday night’s debate, but there’s no question where he stands on the rent (It’s 2 damn high).

McMillan is the political newcomer among the candidates, but as a self-proclaimed karate expert who speaks in couplets, he’s definitely a practitioner of badassery.

And you never know, in a race with Carl Paladino, he might not be the angriest dude on stage.
