Adam Sandler Whispers Sweet Nothings In Your Bluetooth Headset

Mark Wilson — Thu, 08 May 2008 20:00:00 EDT

I'm still a little undecided as to whether or not I'll be seeing Adam Sandler's You Don't Mess with the Zohan, but the movie is using a clever, tech-oriented marketing ploy that's definitely gotten me interested. Twenty-five Regal Entertainment theater lobbies will feature a decorated salon chair that when sat in (while wearing a Bluetooth headset) will beam 6 voicetones to the user's ear. We're not sure exactly what Adam Sandler's new character sounds like, but we're betting if you mix the characters of ~~Adam Sandler~~ Billy Madison, ~~Adam Sandler~~ Little Nicky, and ~~Adam Sandler~~ The Waterboy, you'll have a pretty close approximation.

It's the Adam Frucci White Guy Dance Robot!

Jason Chen — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 14:30:04 EDT

You know what you want. You want a white guy dance. You want a white guy dance right now. Unfortunately, our Adam Frucci is quite busy at the moment, which is why you're going to have to settle for this white guy dance robot, complete with green torso, red crotch/legs, and yellow arms. If you think this Adam Frucci replica robot looks silly in the picture, you really, really have to see it in motion after the jump.

Surgeon Suspended After Using Cellphone to Photograph Patient's Penis During Operation

AddyDugdale — Fri, 21 Dec 2007 09:53:34 EST

A surgeon in the US has been suspended after he used his cellphone to snap a patient's penis during surgery. Dr Adam Hansen of the Mayo Clinic in Scottsdale, Arizona, was inserting a catheter into patient during a routine gallbladder operation when he whipped out his mobile and started snapping away at Sean Dubrovik's schlong. It must have been something to do with the 37-year-old strip club owner's eye-popping body art.

A year before, Dubrovik, a 37-year-old, had "Hot Rod" tattooed on his peen for a $1,000 bet (let me guess, in large gothic letters, with flames coming out of the base, right?). "It was the most horrible thing I went through in my life," said Sean of his ~~gallbladder operation~~ genital inking, which just raises the question, why did you do it, dumbass?

Anyway, enough of the heinous penis backstory, let's get back to the clinic. A scandalized member of the surgical team reported Hansen's actions to the clinic, but not before tipping off the local newspaper. The surgeon, who had apparently shown his patient's artwork to his fellow surgeons, called Dubrovik to apologize, assuring him that he had deleted the photo.

"I feel violated, betrayed and disgusted" says Dubrovik, who is considering legal action, of the surgeon's actions, which is probably similar to how all those folks who saw the photo of his tattoo feel. Meanwhile, the doctor, who is on administrative leave pending an investigation, could lose his job. [BBC Online]

Comment Of The Day

Christopher Mascari — Thu, 20 Dec 2007 20:10:16 EST

Today's comment of the day was actually a reply to the worst comment of the day (go figure); and can both be found under another one of our excuses to post pictures of a woman, in Christmas attire, holding gadgety junk. To make sure you get the comments full effect, we'll post the worst comment first, and then the reply after. Oh yea, almost forgot to mention, congrats to Adam Frucci (hmm, sounds familiar) for posting the comment of the day.

J-Lo Gresso USB Drive Will Abuse Your Wallet, Dignity

Haroon Malik — Sun, 04 Nov 2007 12:50:00 EST

Gresso, the makers of all things ridiculous and overpriced, have hit home with their worst idea ever. They intend to pre load their ridiculous and overpriced flash drives with new albums by artists no one is any longer interested in. The first (and possibly last) offering will be Jennifer Lopez's new album, Brave, which will retail for $70 on Gresso's Adam and Eve flash drive. Don't worry, your $70 will buy a customized Adam & Eve flash drive with J-Lo scrawled across it and some obligatory Swarovski crystals. Phew! There were we thinking this was just a ridiculous waste of money. [Luxist]

Gresso Make USB Flash Drives Fit for the Garden of Eden

Haroon Malik — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 16:20:00 EDT

Gresso, known for all things luxurious, has introduced a new collection of flash drives under the Adam & Eve title. The drives will be available in either; a bitten apple, crucifix or plain rectangle design.

Your USB port is unlikely to have ever come in contact with African Mahogany or African Blackwood, and unless you are an idiot, or have a very nice desk, it never will. Regardless, that has not prevented Gresso from decking their new USB flash drives in the materials; they chucked in some diamonds and a gold clasp on the caoutchouc (rubber) strap, for good measure. The heaven sent devices will set you back between $300-$1000, depending on option choices, but it would surely be a sin to purchase. [Luxist]

Jason Chen — Fri, 06 Apr 2007 03:30:04 EDT

Did you guys see that iPhone for Dummies book cover floating around the blogs today? That's a weird cover, isn't it? The girl's holding an iPod up to her ear. I mean, aren't these guys supposed to know the difference between and iPod and and iPhone? Plus, you guys aren't dummies, so why would you want that book? You guys are as smart as slashdot readers, but much more well rounded (you actually touched a girl in high school).

That's why the discerning iPhone user will prefer How to Do Everything with Your iPhone. It's going to be the most comprehensive iPhone guide in the multiverse (it has the word "Everything" in it, after all). Oh, and the authors of it aren't two dudes you haven't heard of. They're two dudes you love—or at least can tolerate. It's that one guy from Gizmodo (Jason Chen) and that one guy from Lifehacker (Adam Pash). So you know it's quality++.

Blu-ray vs. HD DVD: Frucci Edition

Jason Chen — Thu, 15 Feb 2007 19:25:09 EST

Our charming and sexy Adam Frucci was a guest on Attack of the Show of G4TV fame yesterday, discussing Blu-ray, HD DVD, and whether consumers really care about the format wars at all. There are some other dudes on there talking as well, but we were just counting down the moments until Fruccimodo came back on screen.

Btw, Fruccimodo is not a dig at Frucci for having a hunchback like Quasimodo. We'd never stoop low enough to make fun of his debilitating high school injury. – Jason Chen
