I Learned The Hard Way I'm Not A Thief
A news reporter Sebastian Robertson in Medford, Oregon, takes a little trip out to the Spalding Auto Yard to show the viewers at home how easily your valuable belongings can be stolen from your car.... Turns out it may not be so easy.... All he has to do is break a window, right? Turns out it makes for the best news blooper ever!

Mel Gibson On The 'Edge Of Darkness'
Let me start this post off by saying that I don't have a dog in this fight.... Mel Gibson's new movie 'Edge of Darkness' came out in theaters a couple of weeks ago. This is Mel Gibson's first movie since 2002, and his first movie since his drunk driving arrest and his anti-Semitic tirade towards the police officers in 2006.
Mel Gibson went on the apology tour after the arrest, attended the court appointed classes and has stayed out of the limelight since the drunk driving arrest (if you don't count the divorce from his wife of more than 30 years). You don't have to like Mel Gibson, and you don't have to accept his apology.... But he seems to have made a sincere attempt at giving his penance....
Anyway, Sam Rubin, who is Jewish and is one of those schmarmy entertainment reporters, sat down to interview Mel Gibson about his new movie. During the interview, Sam Rubin asked Mel Gibson, 'Some people are going to welcome you back, and some people think you should never come back.' Mel Gibson puts on his crazy eyes and says that the comments were attributed to him (even though he admitted to saying those things in an interview with Diane Sawyer) and asks Sam if he has a 'dog in this fight'. At that point Sam Rubin goes into a hole and sort of backs off....
After the interview, Sam goes back to the studio and gives his two cents, and says that he didn't understand what Mel Gibson meant when he said 'Do you have a dog in this fight?', and that he was mad that he didn't speak up for himself.... Then his news mates tried to pat him on the back (poorly I might add), and told Sam that 'what he didn't say, said more'....
Both parties handled the interview poorly.... On one hand, Mel should have just said 'Look, I said it, I apologized, there's nothing more that I can do', and on the other hand I think if Sam is going to call Mel Gibson on a super touchy subject then he shouldn't have crawled into a hole during the interview and gone on to bash Mel Gibson on his newscast without Mel there to defend himself....
So, here's my question, do you think Mel Gibson has made amends? Or do you think his requests for forgiveness are inadequate. Will, or have, you seen 'Edge of Darkness'? Or has Mel Gibson tainted your view of him? What's your opinion? Do you think that alcohol made Mel Gibson spout out his inner truths, or maybe the alcohol made him talk crazy? Do you think there can be a separation between a person's personal life and his art? What more could Mel do to win you back as a fan?
Looky here! Here's an added bonus! Another schmarmy entertainment reporter interviewed Mel about his arrest and comments.... At the end of the interview, Mel calls the reporter an a-hole....

Does Anybody Miss This Shot?
I'm sure you've all seen this first video.... It was everywhere!
In part of an elaborate prank planned by students at Olathe Northwest High School in Olathe, Kansas, basketball Coach Joel Branstrom was told that he would receive two tickets to the NCAA basketball tournament if he made a blindfolded shot from half court. What he didn't know is that whether or not he made the shot, the students would erupt in applause, making him think he had made the basket.... The students, of course, did not expect what happened next....
Because this was all a hoax, nobody had expected the coach to make the shot, and nobody was actually planning on giving the coach tickets to the tournament.... However, the students did chip in and get him a gift certificate to Chipotle....
After the coach's shot had become a viral sensation, it was reported that an unidentified donor has donated six tickets, transportation and lodging for the NCAA's Final Four Basketball tournament!
After the coach had made the impossible shot, reporter Rob Low made a special trip to the school to do a story on the prank-gone-wrong. While shooting the tease for the story at half court (exactly where the shot by Coach Branstrom was made), Rob Low blindly threw the ball over his head.... Can you guess the outcome?
If I was on the Olathe Northwest High School basketball team, all I would do is take half court shots.... Apparently nobody misses from half court....
