While reading a breaking story on CNN about an act of eco-terrorism in a Seattle sub-divesion that broke 20 minutes ago, the advertising on the side of the story gave away who really burned down all those houses in Seattle, it’s like he is waving as he walks away from the burning flames!

These new MTV Promos are amazing. I heard they were directed by Joel Schumacher, which is hilarious, because the production value is so low, yet it’s probably his best work. She does a good Diddy impression too. WATCH ABOVE or iphone it HERE.

Is Page Six Magazine a hazard to your health? YES! But only if you work there.
An operative writes in to tell Jossip “there are hundreds of toxic black mold spores that have just recently been discovered growing behind a series of file cabinets” in front of the art/ad sales department.
“Many Page Six Magazine staff members have refused to show up to the office until the matter is thoroughly investigated. Apparently there was a recent flood (last spring) on the 9th floor of theNY Post offices and that is what spawned the spores.”
Editor-in-chief Margi Conklin is said to have “expressed concern” over staffers’ health and, more importantly!, is “concerned about making the Thursday night close in time for the Sunday edition of the Post.”
“Many of the office members have suffered from unexplainable abdominal pains and a rash around their mid section.” Hardship! Especially for the pregnant lady we hear is on staff. She’s ’specially scaredy-cat.

Picking up food with chopsticks is hard enough, now imagine picking that food off a nearly nude model. The Temple Restaurant in downtown Minneapolis is now the first restaurant in its area to serve sushi off the bodies of reclining models.”That’s body sushi, they call it. Instead of using a plate, you use a body,” said owner Thom Pham. Pham said the layout looks like a “beautiful piece of art. … It’s something different, something unusual.”The sushi is placed on bamboo or banana leaves which are glued to the models’ bodies.Pham said diners have to follow a very direct set of rules.”They have to fully respect the model, they can only use chopsticks to pick up the sushi,” Pham said.Around the world, it’s known as “naked sushi.” Pham said it’s very popular in Japan and Hong Kong. It also has made its way to New York and Seattle.Minneapolis city licensing agent Ricardo Cervantes said his officers will watch a demonstration of how the dining experience will work before Temple’s first scheduled body sushi experience in early March.If officials are satisfied with the “safety and sanitary” aspects of the practice, then the restaurant will be able to proceed.Cervantes said any “moral issues” that people may have with it would have to be addressed by the City Council.Pham said he has hired five female models and two male models so far. They’re training right now.”They have to be hairless,” he said. “They have to learn how to breathe evenly so they don’t move too much.”Basically, they have to sit still for an hour and a half while people poke at the food sitting atop their exposed body. “The money is good and they enjoy doing it,” Pham added.Patrons will pay $150 each for the dining experience, and they will need at least a party of six to book a meal.Pham said he has sold at least eight parties so far.

Gawker video guru Richard Blakeley MASHED-UP two of the New York Times’ interactive news maps: one showing the deadly path of Tuesday’s tornadoes, the other showing which Democratic candidates won which states on Super Tuesday. The results: does God hate Hillary? (And note: Obama won Alabama, but Hillary won each county in that state with a recorded death from Tuesday’s storms.)

The last time California played a critical role in the primary season was in 1972, when George McGovern’s 5-point victory over Hubert Humphrey helped solidify the senator’s hold on the Democratic nod. The last time California was critically important on the GOP side was in 1964, when Barry Goldwater squeezed out a narrow victory over Nelson Rockefeller. Goldwater went on to win the Republican nomination.
John Kerry won every county in the 2004 primary. Bill Clinton, former Vice President Al Gore and John Kerry all carried California by solid margins.
While California has a reputation for being heavily Democratic, mainly due to large metropolitan areas such as Los Angeles and San Francisco, the state also has a long history of supporting Republicans, especially for governor. Ronald Reagan became president after he was governor of the state, and Schwarzenegger currently holds the title.
California’s economy is larger than all but four nations, having surpassed France in 2002.
With so many electoral votes at stake, pundits say the state is crucial to picking either party’s nominee for president.
Here a few songs to help you through the voting day:
