10 Reasons to Date a Unicorn. 9 Reasons not to Date a Dinosaur.




Pink Unicorn

Some people have a fascination with unicorns. Nay, a unicorn fetish.  (Get it? “Nay”? Ha!)

Do they really exist?  Perhaps.  For now, let’s imagine that they do.

Now, Web Watch doesn’t want to get into the whole debate regarding former Arizona congressman J.D. Hayworth’s comments about GAY MARRIAGE LEADING TO PEOPLE MARRYING THEIR HORSE, but the comment was funny enough that it got us thinking — especially when there are books devoted to the subject of man-horse marriages, such as DUMP HIM, MARRY THE HORSE: WHY A HORSE IS A BETTER MATCH THAN A MAN

It’s easy to laugh at the Food Network, if you know where to look




The Next Food Network Star
The Next Food Network Star

Web Watch is a fan of Food Network.

We like to cook.  We like to eat.  We like to learn about new places to eat, new cooking techniques, and maybe have some fun along the way.  

We’ve eaten at a number of Food Network-related restaurants: Guy Fieri’s JOHNNY GARLIC’s, Keegan Gerhard’s D BAR DESSERTS, Robert Irving’s EAT, and at any number of Bobby Flay, Emeril Lagasse, and Wolfgang Puck locations across the country.  Sometimes the food at the celebrity restaurants is merely adequate; other times it’s been phenomenal and has lived up to the hype.  But the journeys to eat at each location are always worth the trips.

Web Watch is not alone in our enjoyment of Food Network.  Over the years, Food Network has developed so much cooking- and food-related programming that they were able to program a second cable offering, Cooking Channel.  Obviously, there’s a demand for Food TV.

But with the growth that Food Network has had, there had to be some speedbumps along the way to trip them up.

Hey college kids! Hope your parents don’t see your picture on PASSED OUT PHOTOS




Peter Griffin Passed Out Drunk
Peter Griffin, Passed Out Drunk

Question for our Web Watch readers:  how many drinks does it take before you pass out?

Here’s a better question:  when was the last time you drank so much that you did pass out?

Better still:  does anyone have photos of you passed out?

Video Fun: Disney Character FAILs




Mickey Never Fails
Mickey Never Fails

As the book says, MICKEY MOUSE NEVER FAILS.

Supposedly.

But sometimes Mickey does have a bit of a bad day.  As do many of Mickey’s Disney pals around Walt Disney World, Disneyland, and the other Disney theme parks.

Because being a walkaround character (sometimes called “rubberheads” or “FUR CHARACTERS” by some) is not always the best job to have in the theme park. 

Your vision is hindered, if you can see at all.  The costumes are heavy, unbearably hot, awkward to manuever in, and not often cleaned to smell as fresh as they should be.  You’re often kicked, poked, prodded, propositioned, and occasionally abused by children young and old-enough-to-know-better.

Yes, being a Disney Costumed Character has been called ONE OF THE WORST JOBS AT DISNEY specifically because of the high accident/injury rate associated with it according to INSIDE THE MOUSE, a book based on interviews with former park employees.

And with all that, the employees who act as “friends of” each character continue to do so in order to bring smiles to the faces of every park visitor.  And for putting up with all that, and doing their job well — we at Web Watch salute you.

Video Fun: Inappropriate Soundtracks make movies fun again




Hearing the Movies: Music and Sound in Film History
Hearing the Movies: Music and Sound in Film History

Most hardcore movie fans are also fans of film music and soundtracks.

We’ve all seen those cheesy Oscar presentations where they show us how important it is to have music supporting key film scenes, as they demonstrate how a film clip plays out both with and without its accompanying audio track.

But who’s to say that the audio track that the film score composer used was the correct choice?  INAPPROPRIATE SOUNDTRACKS puts the creative side back in the hands of us – the movie-loving public – and allows us to recut our favorite movie scenes with new audio for a completely different experience.

My Fault, I’m Female – it’s like FML, but for women




I Am Woman

I am Woman

Remember F***MY LIFE (aka “FML”) that Web Watch told you about last year?

That’s the website where people bitch and complain about how their life sucks more than yours, and everyone gets to vote on their favorite F-ups?

Apparently, that site wasn’t catering directly enough to women.

10 Epic Pop Culture Fails




How to write link bait
How to Write Linkbait

10 Epic Pop Culture Fails is an example of a linkbait headline.

LINK BAIT IS A TERM USED BY INTERNET MARKETERS to indicate a type of writing that is used to generate interest in your subject matter.  Basically, anything that you write that can get people blogging about what you’ve written, discussing it on forums, watching it on TV, buying your magazine, posting on social websites like del.icio.us — all can be categorized as “link bait”.

Six Degrees of Separation of John Mayer’s Junk




John Mayer

John Mayer’s genitals have gotten around.

And whether real or simply imagined — and for Web Watch’s sake, we’ll throw in that “alleged” is an appropriate word to cover the rest of this post — if you follow the old adage that once you have sex with one person, you have had sex with every other person your partner has had sex with… then John Mayer has had sex with a veritable crapload of people.

How much money can a Youtube video earn when it goes viral? Let’s start at $150,000




Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack
Little Shop of Horrors soundtrack, with Steve Martin as “The Dentist”

One thing about YouTube that bothers Web Watch is the number of videos that parents film over their shoulder while driving their car down the road.  Especially now as MORE AND MORE STATES — up to 29 as of this writing — ARE PASSING BANS ON TEXTING WHILE DRIVING more and more states are passing bans on texting while driving.  For those Web Watch readers who were wondering, based on that link it looks like Ohio and Hawaii are the only two states with absolutely no laws on their books relating to driving while using a cell phone or texting. 

It’s only a matter of time before DWV (driving while videoing) joins DWI and DWT as acronyms to avoid getting a ticket for.

But the threat of receiving a DWV violation may not deter enterprising, money-hungry folks from filming everything that happens to them and posting it on YouTube in the hopes that their video goes viral.

Today’s example is DAVID AFTER DENTIST.
