Continuing my tradition of writing baseless non-sense I will reveal what a few celebs are doing this holiday season.
Charlie Sheen: The usual for him. Same old same old. Cocaine and hookers. Most people would get excited at the prospect of the romance of the holiday season. Not Charlie though. Coke and hookers as always. Romance of holidays you say? Charlie doesn’t wine and dine, that’s not his style. He snorts and cavorts. Like a pro!
Tiger Woods: I had heard Tiger Woods was pumped about celebrating Diwali. It made no sense to me. Sure he enjoys a good bang for his buck! Sure he enjoys oily wicks and flower pots but I still don’t.....ok I get it now!
Rajnikant: The usual for him this Diwali. He’s going to continue his tradition of setting fireworks alight just by staring at them. I won’t lie to you. There are times when he simply stares at thin air wondering why the “atom bombs” aren’t exploding.
Members of Parliament: Members of Parliament are going to light a customary sparkler each before hoping out loud that the country enjoys a safe Diwali. They will go on to advise us against burning money on harmful fireworks so they can burn it on statues for themselves, on T.V channels and the Swiss Bank.

Foot in the Mouth Moments:
Alex McLeish: Emile Heskey is like Franz Bekenbauer.
Sure and Pravin Kumar is like Viv Richards.
There’s nothing that can top that so I’ll move on.

As always I’ll give you, the reader, some more proof that we live in a crazy ass world.
“Adults puzzled by Hollister store that keeps shoppers in the dark with almost no lighting and ear-splitting music to create a club-like environment!”
• They should try this at Tata car showrooms. Might just help them sell a few more Manzas if the customers can’t see what it looks like.
• Bad idea to try this stuff in a cricket stadium. Batsmen can’t see anything; bowlers don’t know what the hell they’re aiming for and so appeal anyway. The umpire of course can’t see the ball and can’t hear the bowler appeal. Every once in a while he raises the index finger. The batsman can’t see this so he stays put. The commentator thinks this is a good time to talk about his personal problems. The scorer can’t make head or tail of the situation. So they decide result of the match on the basis of the Duckworth Lewis System, which miraculously makes sense in this situation
Berlin - Police arrest man who burned more than 100 luxury cars.
• This is Germany, where cars are considered more sacred than humans! PETA are full of lunatics who would prefer dating a dog over a human and Germany is full of Petrol heads that would rather sleep with a V8 engine (naturally aspirated of course).
Judge: Do you confess to burning 100 luxury cars?
Arsonsteiger: Yes your honour.
Judge: Was a Yugo among the cars you burnt? (The other witnesses cringe when the judge says Yugo)
Arsonsteiger: No your honour.
Judge: Any Pontiac Aztecs? (Some more cringing)
Arsonsteiger: No your honour.
Judge: Then you have no excuse. You’re hereby sentenced to 60 hours of community service cleaning Porsche Panameras!
“60 Elvises flee hotel during fire alarm at a public event.”
• You know what they say don’t you? Elvises have left the building.
• The fire alarms were triggered by a smoke-machine used in the performance. A smoke machine in an indoor location with smoke detectors. Yes I know what you’re thinking. The event management firm does recruit from a crack house.
Metallica concert cancelled after fans stampede and break through barricades.
Time for some lame Metallica references.
• They couldn’t master these puppets.
• Exit light. Enter crazy fans.
• The concert has been cancelled. Sad But True.
• I hope the organizers have learnt a lesson. Security is of paramount importance. Nothing Else Matters.
• Nowhere in Delhi will the fans hear Metallica play live. Wherever they may roam.
• On Sunday, When the 5 red lights go out the Indian Grand Prix is Goooooo! On Friday however, as the lights went out at the arena, it was simply a case of Fade To Black.
• Does this stampede count as assault and – wait for it – Battery?
• They broke barricades but they didn’t “Hit The Lights”
• If only they could refund the ticket money. It would be a nice gesture and Justice For All.         

Honoured to have wax statue at Tussauds: Kareena
• Incredible how life-like the wax statue is.
• There’s just no way you can the real one from the statue. They both look just as plastic.

MJ was probably addicted to Botox, says expert
• Expert my ass. If you came to this conclusion in 1990 you’re an expert.
• What next? Was Kurt Cobaine addicted to cocaine?
• Maybe this “expert” can throw some light on Elton John’s sexuality. Hopefully at a time when Elton John isn’t “doing it”
And on that colourful and gay note, Goodbye.

 Animal rights group PETA to launch pornography website

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), no stranger to attention-grabbing campaigns featuring nude women, plans to launch a pornography website in the name of animal rights.
“We’re hoping to reach a whole new audience of people, some of whom will be shocked by graphic images that maybe they didn’t anticipate seeing when they went to the PETA XXX site,” said Lindsay Rajt, PETA’s associate director of campaigns.
• Ok first of all, if you want to shock people who are expecting hardcore porn with graphic images of animal cruelty you may want to consider not revealing your plans to the public! Their spokesperson announced to world that they plan to bring people by promising pornography and once their hooked they’re going to be treated to animal cruelty slideshows! That’s one hell of a diabolical scheme PETA, well done.
Imagine the consequences if movie characters were as dumb as PETA.
• Iamdarthvader  @yodamaster hey the new deathstar is done and it looks sweet! surprise attack on jedi’s next friday. #masterplan
• Achillesheel  @kingpriam We’re sending over a wooden horse as a peace offering but what you don’t know is that it’s full of our warriors. #ancientmasterplan
I’ve said all along that PETA are a bunch of morons who couldn’t cut in the real world. Don’t judge me, there’s a difference between being against PETA and supporting animal cruelty. Hating the BCCI doesn’t mean you hate cricket. I want to prevent animal cruelty as much as the next guy but PETA are just plain annoying.
PETA has been accused of campaigning for animal rights at the cost of exploiting women. A Facebook group, Real Women Against PETA, was launched after the organisation paid for a billboard showing an obese woman with the message: “Save the Whales. Lose the Blubber. Go Vegetarian.”
• Trademark stupidity again. “Save the Whales. Lose the Blubber?” How is that going to help? The cosmetics industry survives on blubber from whales, not from plus size women!
• Given a choice PETA would ask us to stop making horse serum from horse blood and instead take blood form the contestants on “The Biggest Loser.”
• There’s seems to be no end to jobless NGO’s the world over. PETA campaign against those who are “cruel” to animals. “Women’s rights” groups complain against PETA because according to them they don’t treat their women ethically!

Now normally I don’t post jokes from the internet but Fernando Torres’ spectacular miss against Manchester United deserves a column of its own! Here are some the best Torres jokes from around the world.
• Torres wanted to take his miss in good humour and read the net-jokes being posted online. Unfortunately he couldn’t find Net. #Bazinga
• Ceasefire in Libya, specialist Fernando Torres sent in to make sure no more shots are fired.
• Fernando Torres breaks David Blaine’s Record of doing nothing inside a box for 40 days!
• I hear Torres is averaging one goal per manager!
• Torres – Miss of the season. And that’s not because he has long hair and looks like a girl!
• So there I was, Row F, behind the goal at Old Trafford watching Torres go round De Gea wondering if he would score and then it HIT me!

Military veteran Joshua Price, 26, was arrested in March after police in a Chicago suburb found child pornography and 1,700 photos of dismembered women on his computer, but at a court hearing in May, Price explained that his photographs were a necessary escape from war-related trauma.
1) Ok first off, in what universe is a 26 year old a veteran by any stretch of imagination. He’s a veteran at taking a dump. Sure, we all are! He breathes and what not but a military veteran?
2) So to wipe away images of dismembered men on a battlefield he needed photos of dismembered women? How is that a step up? And how does child pornography help? I’m pretty sure Captain America doesn’t come home after a war and go - “ok where’s my 6-pack of beers and where are those naked kids?!”
3) That’s a dumb-ass cover up story Mr. Price.
4) The Price is not right.
5) Sorry the previous point was my bad. Couldn’t resist.
 
In fact, Price told prosecutors that were it not for the distracting photos, his stress disorder would surely have caused him to kill his wife and two daughters. (Prosecutors accepted that Price’s crime was a “cry for help,” but the judge, less impressed, quadrupled Price’s bail, to $1 million.) [Chicago Tribune]
1)  He’s not helping his case one bit. Should have just lied to the prosecutor.
2) Simulated fake conversion:                               
Price: Hello? Is this the Insurance company?
Insurance Company: Yes. Hence our call waiting message “your call is on wait. By the way, you’ve called an INSURANCE COMPANY”. How can I help you?
Price: I need $1 million for posting bail. Is there anything you guys can do to help me out?
IC:  Well if your wife and two daughters die you’d get a million dollars.
Price: Wow I’d get a million dollars if I kill my wife and 2 daughters? Really?
IC: Wait, you’d really do that? Wow you’re messed up!
 
Moving on to current affairs:
 
The Centre on Thursday tabled the Lokpal Bill in the Parliament. The civil society hit the roads protesting the government draft. They burnt the draft Lokpal bill, inviting criticism from the Congress that they were insulting Parliament.
   1. It’s actually the other way around. It is in fact the Parliament that’s insulting the collective intelligence of the entire nation!
   2. That’s not all the parliament does though. They also embarrass the nation. BIG TIME.
   4. Seriously, if being embarrassed were to be an Olympic sport Indians would romp home with Gold coached ably by our Parliamentarians.
   5. When droughts and farmer suicides were pressing issues, Parliament was busy talking about why Ganguly was dropped from the Indian side.
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh on Thursday said China has given an assurance that the dam it was building on the Brahmaputra river in Tibet will not harm India’s interest and “we trust” its statement.
This was China’s actual statement: “ 诶 艾弗
 
‘Sex and the City’ director says no to prequel
   1. Isn’t a prequel supposed be the story that precedes the story of the original? How can they make a sequel when the original movie had no story?
   2. You know as well as I do that given a chance, they would kill to cash in on the franchise and make a prequel. Sadly though, it’s hard enough making those 40s and 50 something women look their age, a prequel would by that logic demand an Avatar like production budget for special effects alone.
   3. Girls I know tell me this movie is about women empowerment and sexual liberation of womankind.
   4. First of all enough with the word “womankind”. It’s been thrown around by women for more than a decade and it’s still not a thing!
   5. Secondly (weird that the 5th point starts off with the word secondly) if a woman is 50 years old and still hasn’t found means to empowerment and is still on the lookout for sexual liberation it’s time to stop! Marry Hugh Hefner, at least that’ll get you a truckload of property within a week!
   6. Yeah you read that right. These days Hefner has the life expectancy of a Mayfly!
 
I’m nervous about my TV debut: Sanjay Dutt
   1. If it helps, I’m nervous about his TV debut too.
   2. That’s all I have to say about this.

Animal protection groups protest against “Khatron Ke Khiladi”. FIAPO shot off a letter to Naresh Chahal, director (finance) of the Broadcasting Content Complaints Council (BCCC), on how the show has been airing stunts involving leopards, lions, crocodiles and ostriches.
 
   1. So it’s ok to have humans jumping bikes through fire but if a horse is made to sit on a stool all hell breaks loose.
    2. Given a chance these activists will demand low fat juice to be included in the lunch menu of the horse.
    3. It’s a horse! There is no “lunch menu”. We have grass and a pale of water. No not water that was bottled at the source in the himalayas, water that somehow found its way through the plumbing at the studio.
    4. Low fat juice? Animal rights groups, if you’re listening I assure you the horse isn’t watching it’s weight. The horse isn’t crazy like you. It didn’t grow up thinking Sex and the City and Legally Blonde are classics.
    5. No horse alive has read Black Beauty. They don’t give a shit about ethical treatment. They just want 4 square meals of whatever grass is around.
 
Disclaimers:
  * Headlines were taken from various websites across the internet.
  * I mentioned horses eating grass a lot. If that’s not all they eat then I apologize for my ignorance and any hurt sentiments.

“After a royal wedding that captured the attention the world over and broke internet viewing records, a honeymoon is next for Prince William and his new wife, Catherine Middleton, right? WRONG! Well not immediately anyway.  The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge have opted to hold off on a honeymoon, instead choosing to have a private weekend to themselves in the United Kingdom in an unknown location - because Prince William has to return to work as a search and rescue pilot next week.” 
       His mission – Search and Rescue his manhood after that incredibly gay wedding!

     “Defiant Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi vowed on Saturday not to quit, but said he was ready for a “ceasefire and negotiations” as NATO bombed a key government complex in Tripoli.”   
Somebody tell him that’s not how it works! You don’t get to call ceasefire when you’re being attacked you moron! Did Jerry ever run up to Tom and say enough with the death-traps, I’m calling a ceasefire?!

    “A blonde was invited to the beatification ceremony of the late Pope John Paul II.” She promptly packed her make-up kit!

    “AIEEE question paper was leaked before the exam.” Students however, still struggling to solve the problems!

    “Facebook has been declared the most popular social network in India ahead of Orkut and Twitter, with over 25 million users.
                 Still no match for the Swiss Bank which has over a hundred million Indian users!

Now moving over to commerce. Brands leave no stone unturned to accommodate a superstar for their ad campaigns. They even go so far as changing their marketing slogans, even their entire marketing campaign. Here’s a list of changed ad slogans that would be required to accommodate legitimate superstars.


Accenture
Previously: Accenture. Performance.Delivered
But then they felt they need Tiger Woods back to boost business. So they signed him with a slight modification to their slogan.
New slogan: Accenture. High Performance. Delivered. With a happy ending.


Nokia
 Previously: Connecting People.
But then they felt a joint deal with BSNL Cell One would attract more customers.
New Slogan: Connecting People. Sometimes.


  
 Nike
Previously: Just Do It!
Then Nike signed 85 year old Hugh Hefner and his 25 year old fiancé.
New Slogan: Please Don’t!


M&M’s
Previously: Melts in your mouth, not in your hands.
Then they decided to follow Accenture and sign Tiger Woods. For unknown reasons, they stuck to the old slogan.

Energizer Batteries
Previously: Nothing outlasts the Energizer. It keeps going and going and going.
Then they also signed Tiger Woods. You get the joke don’t you?

GEICO
Previously: So easy a caveman can do it.
Now they didn’t change their slogan,  but instead decided to search for a suitable brand ambassador. They received a call from Lasith Malinga!

Apple
Previously: Think outside of the box.
They signed Paris Hilton.
New Slogan: Think. Fine, at least try.
