Mustaches For Kids

11/22/09 - Ridiculous

“This winter in Ottawa, a number of brave souls have sacrificed their faces – and dignities – as Growers for Mustaches for Kids. Our goal is to use our pushbrooms to raise $25,000 for the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Canada. All donations go to the Make-A-Wish foundation. Last year we generated $20,000 putting our all time total up to $50,000. Last year’s contributions went towards helping grant 7 wishes. Don’t kid yourself, this is a competition with each grower’s manhood on the line. Grower’s will be judged both on the quality of their staches and the amount of money they raise.” w/ photo

“Yesterday Helen Lyons, lead food technologist at the company, said: ”In recent years there has been an increase in the number of own brands trying to capitalise on the popularity of Kellogg’s corn flakes. ”We want shoppers to be under absolutely no illusion that Kellogg’s does not make cereal for anyone else. ”We’re constantly looking at new ways to reaffirm this and giving our golden flakes of corn an official stamp of approval could be the answer.” w/ photos

The Wink Glasses

11/01/09 - Ridiculous

A Japanese eyewear maker Masunaga Optical employee displays the blinking “Wink Glasses”, which are supposed to help prevent dry-eye when the users concentrate on video gaming or on the Internet. The Wink Glasses, powered by button batteries or USB, have a small sensor to watch how often the user blinks and to make the lens fog when the user keeps his eye open for five seconds without blinking.” w/ 3 slideshow photos

Octomom’s Halloween Costume

10/31/09 - Ridiculous

There’s not many people who could provoke a universal shudder by dressing as a pregnant nun for Halloween. But ‘Octomum’ Nadya Suleman has managed it. The mother of fourteen – including her octuplets born in January this year – poked fun at herself as she headed out with her eight IVF babies to celebrate Halloween. The effort of thinking up eight different costumes for the babies was apparently too much for her, however, as she dressed them all the same – as little red devils. Complete with two giant prams draped in spider webs, the familiy made for a bizarre sight as they headed out for some trick or treating in La Habra, California, in the run up to Halloween this week. Ms Suleman is poised to star in her own reality TV show after the saga over her babies’ controversial birth.” w/ photos
