Everyone once in a while, a product comes along that appeals to people of all demographics. A product that allows people to connect in a way they may not have before.

Pure comedy.

If you haven't already downloaded OMGPOP's hit game "Draw Something" you better get with the program.

It's not a genius idea, really. They basically digitized Pictionary, a board-game classic, and made it appealing to people since hanging out in person is just impossible these days with so much to do.

(sarcasm)

What this game does is a two-fold dose of comedy. It forces you to not only showcase your TERRIBLE artistic skills, but your warped and twisted interpretation of even the most mundane everyday words.

Examples: I drew a toilet bowl with a huge poop stick to demonstrate the world "log." I also drew a man raping livestock and yelling "Oh yeah" to illustrate the word "sheep."

After spending about 20 minutes laughing uncontrollably, I realized this game is less about drawing and more about psychologically analyzing your friends and relatives in the form of a modified Rorschach test.

I only wish this game indexed our drawings so we could look back at not only the idiotic and horrifying images we have sent to one another, but to measure the time it takes for friends to actually understand our insanity.

Hell, there's even an entire website full of hilarious and mindboggling drawings from around the world. http://drawsomethingfails.com/

Here's some of my favorites:

SANFORD, FL-  In a live news conference held just minutes ago, Sanford Police Chief, Bill Lee, stated he is temporarily removing himself from his position. He claims it has become a distraction to the investigation of the death of Trayvon Martin.

Just prior to the Chief's announcement, someone walked up with several large white cards, with words. However no agency had the audio turned on so I'm not sure what the man was yelling after he laid down these cards next to the podium.

Chief Lee did highlight his decorated career in law enforcement and stated his removal was key to the success of the investigation.

"My involvement in this matter is overshadowing the process," Lee said. "My role has become a distraction... It is my hope the investigation process will move swiftly and appropriately."

Another high ranking officer will assume his duties until they find an interrum Chief.

London - It seems worldwide protests have gripped the masses in recent months. While celebrities usually get caught in the midst, exchanging verbal jabs with political talking heads and adopting children from poor countries to show they care.

This time, Jamie Waylett showed his brawn by taking his Harry Potter bully character persona into the streets of London, to protest with the youth of Great Britain over social inequality.

That protest landed his big ass in jail after he decided to arm himself with a flaming Molitov Cocktail, received stolen goods, and helped destroy property. He rolled tough with a gang of 4 others and was caught on surveillance video.

Waylett played Vincent Crabbe, an intimidating behemoth of a kid, who tormented the weaklings at Hogwarts.

The 22-year-old has been sentenced to two years in jail by Judge Simon Carr.

What is it about the U.K. and the name Simon? Is everyone of importance named Simon? When I was a kid, I played a game called "Simon" and I thought it was a pretentious bastard of an inanimate object.

Hopefully, I'm not the only one who finds a resemblance of Jamie Waylett to Sloth from The Goonies.

What you are about to hear is the voice of a man. A self-appointed neighborhood watch moron, who has called emergency services over 50 times for random and ridiculous accusations. None of which ever lead to any meaningful use of those resources. George Zimmerman killed Trayvon Martin in cold blood. Here was a good kid. A teen with a bright future. A boy who had not conceived the path of destruction Zimmerman must have assumed he embodied.

Zimmerman, like many well mocked faux-heroes, hope a day comes when they can utilize whatever skill they observed in a training video and show the bag guy who's boss.

Problem with Zimmerman's entire existance, which can be summaries in the released 911 tapes from previous random calls, is that he assumes his observations are of dire importance. That, without his assistance, the police would not be able to do their job.

Sadly, this mentality has cost the life of a young man who only had a bag of Skiddles and a can of tea in his pockets.

The audio clip I found, enhanced, and played through a very pricey set of studio headphones, allows you to hear George Zimmerman say "Fucking Coons" under his breath. It's a bit muffled but you can hear the hard 'c' pronunciation. There's no mistaking it. Some claim he is saying "Fucking punks" which is ridiculous. You don't have to be an audio engineer to know that "Coons" and "Punks" don't sound remotely alike.


The solid "kuh" sound and "oon" are not a figment of your imagination. He is not saying "punks" or "toads" or anything similar. He called the kid a "coon" and that's that.

Two years ago, a black homeless man was sucker punched by Justin Collison, the son of Sanford Police Officer. He was also not arrested, put in cuffs, or subject to the normal battery of questions a man accused of assaulting another peron would have been. It took 30 days to bring him into custody and he was still let off lightly. After then, it was shown he was also the prime suspect in a shooting back in 2007.  Coincidence?

Here is the video from that night, which made national headlines as well.

Ft. Lauderdale - They say any publicity is good publicity. However, this might not be the case for one South Florida law firm.

The offices of Elizabeth R. Wellborn, P.A. recently fired 14 of their employees for reportedly wearing orange shirts in a coordinated effort to protest management.

The former employees countered that allegation by stating they were wearing those shirts to be easily identified in an after-work Happy Hour group event. In an interview with the Sun-Sentinel, they continued that claim stating there was no harm in what they were doing.

With Florida's unemployment rate at 9.9%, and the job market's volatility all over the news, you would think employers would do what they could to set a good example for business and continue to help communities on the upswing.

After scouring the web for more information, it seems the consensus is this law firm should be boycotted.

One of the employees, Melody Mcleoud stated "I'm a single mom with four kids, and I'm out of a job just because I wore orange today."

Florida is a "right to work state" (at will) so employers can fire you with or without just cause. As long as the firing is legal. There are some rules but the law firm did not break any.

After researching all I could to see if there was a precursor to this drama, I could not find anything. However, using the shirt color excuse as a reason to let of 14 employees simultaneously. It seems that decision was made in haste and without regard to the lives it would affect.

If the employees had a gripe and voiced their concerns to deaf ears, this could have been their only form reprise. An innocent and silent message.

If management was this angry over the orange shirts, they should have started with write ups, warnings, and given these people -who were not given time to find other employment - a chance to search. Elizabeth r. Wellborn should be ashamed of this business practice. The backlash from this will be costly.

Not only will this firm start paying these employees through unemployment for the foreseeable future, but the business repercussions could be immense. Negative publicity can destroy a business with established partnerships, in no time.

Buzzkill, USA - Just in time to ruin your week, Doctors at Insight Alcohol and Drug Prevention advised ABC news that young minds are still developing up until the age of 25.

This means your buck-wild beer bong and keg-stand moments captured by every iPhone within a 20 foot radius could also be capturing the beginning of a long road of mental, physical, financial difficulties ahead.

Drinking and partying is what Spring Break is all about for most college kids. However, the human brain is still learning and adapting to what we put into our bodies, longer than doctors previously thought.

This can cause you to become alcohol dependent, suffer mood swings, drink & drive, and become more likely to end up a total disaster in life.

Orlando - Since 2002, I have been a huge advocate for the anti-rice-burner movement. Not because I hate foreign cars. They are great! Japanese cars are incredibly reliable and safe. However, a bone stock Honda Civic, Camry, or Yaris is not a performance car.

Plain and simple.

Sure, there's a bazillion different ways to modify your Civic hatch into a track beast. However, it's not cheap and those are not the cars you see speeding up and down the street, dangerously weaving through traffic and tailgating.

What you witness are these base-model Civics with an exhaust and a wing. Or a set of aftermarket wheels. None of which (separately) will give you the performance value of a car purposely built for speed. Driven by your typical douchebag.

Controlling the car at high speed, in dangerous situations is why that car costs more. Research and development, better parts, stiffer suspension, better brakes, and wider tires are just some of the things taken into account with a car built for speed.

Which is why ANOTHER person lost their life today in Orlando.

A man, his girlfriend, and child were driving along when they encountered a slow moving van. instead of reacting like a normal human being, this guy in his Acura TL thought he could blow past this van and show him who's boss.

He thought wrong. He blew past that van at a high rate of speed, while going around a bend, clipped a curb, and flipped the car 100+ feet into a home at the corner of a subdivision.

FHP isn't sure of his speed, but it's apparent he wasn't going 35 mph, as the impact and the amount of damage are just not consistent with a slow speed crash.

The mother of the child was ejected and killed on impact. The driver, Travis Fullencamp, was also injured. The child in the car also suffered injuries and was transported to Arnold Palmer Hospital

A witness saw the car land on the front passenger, 39 year old Melanie Chaplin, who was dead before paramedics arrived.

The impact was so violent, the child's backback from the car was tossed onto the roof of the house.

A 25-35mph crash would not have yielded these type of injuries.

All because you have ANOTHER idiotic Honda/Acura driver making careless mistakes in a shitty car that can't handle a high speed turn. Do this same thing in a car with a real suspension setup, lowered center of gravity, a good driver, and the outcome will be different.

Miami - Who says there are no tough dads left in the world? With this wave of politically correct parenting and soft approach methods yielding a new generation of unsuccessful youth, one Miami dad is proving he's no pushover.

Seventh grader, Michael Bell Jr is failing three classes and his dad isn't gonna sit around and let his son become another statistic.

Michael Bell, Sr. says he is just trying to raise is son right, responsible, and to make sure his priorities are in order.

I think this dad deserves a pat on his back. While his approach is a bit tough, he proves that he's at least there for his son. Encouraging him achieve better because he knows his son is capable of much more.

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - In a surprising twist to this tale, a N.M. woman thought to have perished somewhere inside a New Mexico National Forrest, was found alive with her cat by her side.

41-year-old Margaret Page and her emotional crutch Maya, set up camp deep in the forest, surviving on fresh water from a creed nearby.

This maniac packed away enough nourishment for her cat but nothing for herself.

Page - a future Hoarder's episode waiting to happen - was found completely emaciated. She had lost most of her body fat and muscle mass. Her cat, Maya, was found happy and in great shape. Typical of crazy cat people.

The cat is either extremely healthy and the woman is a complete wreck. Or there's a pile of dead cats under a layer of newspapers she swear have some sort of monetary value. 

There is a strong international cat-lovers community that feel they are wrongly stereotyped. Margaret Page, and every episode of Hoarders, are not helping their cause. Not sure what the connection is behind crazy, trash hoarding, lonely women and cats. I have yet to find a cat with a home that wreaks of cigarettes, dead animals, and despair.

Page had been missing for over two months and not much hope had been held out for her survival. According to the police report, a friend had reported that she was diagnosed with Depression and PTSD (Post Traumatic Stress Disorder) which is why the friend and Page's sister decided to wait before alerting police. They figured she would have returned eventually. When they realized she was possibly in danger, they contacted authorities.

Others spotted Margaret's car, but figured hikers leave their car parked for long periods of time frequently, so it was nothing out of the ordinary.
