The Internet is making us crazy

Remember the 1990s when everyone was making money on the internet but then it turned out no one was really making money on the internet? If only those guys back then had known the secret to making money on the net was cats. Cats and Trollfaces. Cats, Trollfaces and Rickrolls. Cats, Trollfaces, Rickrolls and Sad Keanus...

Andrew Baron, operator of Rocketboom, confirmed on his blog that the popular internet culture encyclopedia Know Your Meme has been purchased by Ben Huh’s Cheezburger Network for a “a super seven figure deal.” The announcement on Baron’s blog comes shortly after the news was broken by Tubefilter earlier this afternoon.

The Cheezburger network, which includes such web staples as Fail Blog, Memebase, and The Daily What, recently raised over $30 million with plans for a large-scale expansion of the network’s staff and the sites they operate.

67 years ago my Grandfather was in his 20s fighting Nazis on the beaches of Europe. Today I'm blogging about other bloggers that blog about pictures of cats saying funny things making millions of dollars. You tell me, which is the greatest of generations? ..wait it's not mine?

Soccer clubs be rich

I love the fact that While AC Milan is one of the 10 richest clubs in the world they only sell about 4,000 more tickets per game than the Seattle Sounders do. Which is still better than Juventus who I think sold less tickets than Scott Pilgrim did (hey-o!).

That guy killed himself

yeah he's not creepy looking at all.
Here's one for the follow up file. Ryan Jenkins who was accused of killing his ex-wife, after he chopped her up and stuffed her in a suitcase was found dead in a motel over the weekend. Take it away associated press;

The dramatic end came at an isolated motel at the edge of British Columbia's mountainous interior, on the outskirts of Hope, a town with limited claims to fame as the place where the first Rambo movie was filmed and where residents make giant wooden carvings with chainsaws.

I'm sure the residents of Hope are happy that their towns claim to fame is Rambo, Chainsaw carving and D-Bags offing themselves in motel rooms.

On Sunday evening, police responded to a call from motel staff about a dead person, and then called investigators who were part of the manhunt for Jenkins, said Sgt. Duncan Pound of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police border integrity unit.

The manager of The Thunderbird Motel and his nephew said they found Jenkins hanging from the bar of a coat rack by a belt. They said a young woman had checked him in to the two-story inn surrounded by trees.

Could the Mystery woman be Megan from Megan wants a millionaire?

Kevin Walker, who manages the Thunderbird Motel, said Jenkins and the mystery woman arrived Thursday.. She was blonde, in her early 20s and "naturally pretty, one of those wholesome little ladies," he said.

Never mind that's definitely not Megan.

Fake dating show < Real murderer

finally, someone that truly is worse than hitler

So if you haven't heard about this story yet, don't worry you will. Basically one of VH1's reality show nutjobs killed someone.

VH1 officially pulled Megan Wants a Millionaire off the air today after reports surfaced that one of the contestants, Ryan Alexander Jenkins, is the target of an international manhunt regarding the murder of former Playboy model and Vegas stripper Jasmine Fiore. Jenkins also is rumored to have won I Love Money 3 which most likely puts that show in jeopardy.

That was this morning, this afternoon the police made it official.

TMZ has learned the Orange County D.A. has charged Ryan Jenkins for the murder of his wife Jasmine Fiore. Fiore's body was found Saturday morning stuffed in a suitcase which was thrown in a dumpster in Buena Park, CA. It appears Jenkins has fled to Canada. A warrant has been issued for his arrest

Anyone that's had the misfortune of watching any show on VH1 with the word "Love" in the title (but wasn't about the 1980s) knew that something like this was bound to happen. However, I'm a little surprised we went straight to murder. I figured we would've had some tax evasion charges, maybe a vehicular manslaughter charge or two before we went straight to murder.
The people that go on these shows are all freaks, VH1 pays them to act like psychos and when you pay people to act like psychos you're eventually going to attract real psychos. Hopefully after all is said and done VH1 will cancel all their "I love..." shows and will bring back Pop up Video. That show was the bomb.
