James Harrison returning his sons’ “participation trophies”

http://www.abcnews.go.com

Pittsburgh Steelers linebacker, James Harrison, took to Instagram on Saturday to say he was returning two awards his sons James III and Henry received from a local athletics event. Harrison noted that while he is proud of his young children, he only wants his sons to earn “real” trophies. The 37-year-old says he doesn’t want his children to feel entitled, adding “cause sometimes your best is not enough, and that should drive you to want to do better.”

Mom of Child with Special Needs says United Airlines ‘Humiliated” Family

ABC News. (yahoo news)

I just read an article on Yahoo.com about a mom who claims United Airlines humiliated her family. The family of six was returning to Newark, New Jersey from the Dominican Republic when they were approached by a flight attendant about a safety concern. Elit Kirschenbaum’s 3-year-old daughter, Ivy, has Spastic Quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy and is a stroke survivor. The family bought Ivy a seat (in the economy section) because they were aware of federal regulations requiring anyone older than 2 to purchase their own seat.

Kim Kardashian West has done it again. Kim posted a photo of her cover shot on Paper Magazine last night on her Instagram account alongside with the comment #BreaktheInternet. The photos immediately drew outrage and criticism from people who thought that they were not only lewd but inappropriate for a mother. The controversy consumed nearly every media and “news” outlet the next morning.

Devil Baby Attack

It’s been awhile since I last posted a viral video and I am reintroducing the theme with a funny clip that is going viral on YouTube.  Similar to the viral campaign entitled Telekinetic Coffee Shop Surprise which aided in promoting the film Carrie (2013), the marketing department of the upcoming film Devil’s Due released their own genius campaign.

Hope you found it as funny as I did.  

Jimmy Kimmel: I Told My Kids I Ate All Their Halloween Candy

For the past two years Jimmy Kimmel has challenged his viewers to play pranks on their unsuspecting children.  The prank entails parents telling their young children on November 1^st that they ate all of their candy from Halloween.  In the past the videos have been hilarious.  This year proved no exception.

This is my selection for “viral video of the week.”  I don’t know what it says about me but I was looking forward to Halloween this year simply for this now annual tradition.

Last week I posted a hilarious clip from “The Ellen Show.”  Ellen DeGeneres, the host, sent two of her employees to a haunted house.  The end product was priceless (click here to view that video).  Since last week’s horror excursion proved fruitful Ellen decided to send the same two employees to another “scary” place.

Enjoy!

Since Halloween is just around the corner this week’s “viral video” is from the Ellen Show.  Every year, host Ellen DeGeneres, sends an employee to a Haunted House.  This year she decided to send Andy alongside Amy.  The end product was pretty funny.  Enjoy!

Jimmy Kimmel Presents: “The Story of Christopher Columbus”

This week’s “viral video” is a segment from last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live.  In the segment random people on Hollywood Blvd. are asked questions about the origins of Christopher Columbus.  All I have to say is that some people need to re-read our history.

Enjoy!

Telekinetic Coffee Shop Surprise

This week’s “video of the week” is a great online advertisement.  While many commercials and ads are oftentimes stale and unoriginal I think this ad is pretty brilliant.
