I would never spend $10K for a shitty Pizza even if it came with an Engagement Ring (which would probably turn my girlfriend's finger green).

Have you ever thought of using Strong Bad's "Somebody Told Me (Now I believe them)" song for your intro or ending song?

A cereal killer movie titled "febreeze", best name or worst name?

New Yorkers have a built up immunity to WTFness, no wonder LordKat has a show about the weirdest stuff on the internet, cause nothing surprises him anymore.

i would say that if you're a girl, and you want an engagment ring, demand an Alexandrite, not a Diamond, and if your guy will actually buy it, marry him right away cause that things price can be really high, and to spoil things a bit, white gold is a mix of Gold and Pd or Ni, so make sure it will be a mix with Pd

About the crack-for-lapdance proposition: I'm not saying it's in any way right or defensible, I'm not saying it's at all common, in fact I'm not saying that *any* titty bar owner would ever for one second tolerate it if he got wind of it happening at his establishment, and I'm not saying that the reaction from 99 out of a hundred strippers wouldn't be to immediately slap the guy in the face and then call over the bouncer. Nevertheless, I'm fairly certain that some form of cocaine-for-lapdance exchange has been mutually agreed upon in stripclubs on more than one occasion. Because there is definitely that 100th stripper out there, and considerably less rare is the slimeball drug dealer who knows how to pick her out of the crowd.

*looks up the news story* Whoo, that was at XTC.


Yeah, no, there will be no crack-for-dance exchange at XTC. That's one of the most expensive strip clubs in town. And that's even with it being (last time I heard about it), BYOB.

Those dancers make good money, and there's no bar involved.

Never been, as I decided I didn't like being cock teased and paying for the privilege, but I hear it's pretty swanky as they go.

I'm hoping that at some point this year, we'll get another story about ghetto activity at a lowbrow fast food restaurant involving the police.

Jesus christ, I wouldn't even spend a quarter of $10,000 on a wedding, & I'm a woman.

Fish lunches are banned in a lot of work places for a reason. I think mom owes him a trip to ToysRus.

Re: the turtle thing -- That's how PetSmart gets their reptiles.

I've had very, very bad experiences with them and I know people who've had equally bad experiences with their fish.

Basically, they buy wild-caught animals. In the case of their turtles/tortoises, for example, you can tell that by their shells, which have different kinds of wear visible on them depending on whether they're captive bred or wild caught. They buy animals from assholes like this guy with the turtles in pantyhose and of course they don't have their animals checked for health before reselling them. The result is, when you buy a reptile or fish or probably just about any other damn thing from PetSmart, you have no idea when that animal was born, where it came from, whether it's healthy, or how long it's likely to live after you remove it from the store. And the answer, incidentally, is usually "not very long."

I actually bought my hamster from PetSmart. It went insane, bit me every time I tried to pet it, bit through the metal bars of its cage and escaped. We had no idea where it could've possibly went, until my dog found and killed it, thinking it was vermin or something. Granted, I didn't take care of it as much as I should have because I was young, but I don't think mild disinterest in your pet results in them going completely feral.

Then there was my sister's hamster, who was a perfectly sane, cute creature that we had no problems with, but then it got a giant tumor on its stomach.

To state the obvious, we later bought our pets from elsewhere.

There *totally* needs to be a supervillian who was hit by mutigenic Fabreeze as a child and gained good-smelling superpowers but was ridiculed by his peers.

I would love to be there when the stupid sap buys about 10,000 dollars worth of that shit and gets the cameras set up and she says "No."


That will teach people to spend friviously on things when the economy is bad.

Don't give your girlfriend a diamond ring. Diamonds are only valuable because African cartels artificially hike up the price. The chances are that yours are dug up by de facto slaves, anyway, in spite of all the effort to cull the sell of blood diamonds. And in 20 years the chances are that diamonds are used as cheap paperweights. The molecular structure isn't that complex, and the techniques for making synthetic diamonds improve all the time. Be original and get a high-quality ruby or sapphire instead if you want to express your love with precious stones. But not from Pizza Hut.

Awkward. I am a super villain.

Man with a knife is a normal occurance here in San Francisco. WHY he's got the knife out in the first place is usually the cherry on top of the story - the knife itself is just the vanilla ice cream.

I was actually eating a P'Zone while watching this.

Better fabreze than capelin breath I say. I mean the teacher only did it because the kid was ALREADY being made fun of. If the mother really cared about how her son was treated she wouldn't have made him such a crappy lunch to begin with.

And just how did I know the break-in story would involve cleaning?

Whatever happened to just packing your kid a peanut butter jelly sandwich for school lunch?

Hell, if you think Febreeze-ing a kid down after lunch is bad, a school once strip-searched a 13-year-old student because they were told she might be carrying drugs. Not that they had any indication that she'd be carrying them on her person, mind you, or that they even had any evidence of her harboring drugs, or that they even told her why she was being searched. Said nonexistent drugs turned out to be aspirin.

*ahem*. I apologize for my ranting on a pretty much unrelated subject. Shit like that just pisses me off. Might as well be called the zero-tolerance of morality policy.

And Dominoes is superior to Pizza Hut. As is Coke to Pepsi. Even then, I wouldn't propose to anyone using a pizza chain. I'd rather blow ten grand on, y'know, an engagement ring? Instead of a crappy ring from Pizza Hut plus $10,000 of extra crap?

I'm with you, Tara. Naked people = boring but poor writing = infuriating.

Hi Nash, I'm actually from Newfoundland, and let me tell you, we are so sick of hearing about this story and actually kinda embarrassed about it. You didn't pronounce Newfoundland right, but no one ever does unless they are from here, but you did get 'capelin' right so kudos. :) That being said, Tara, I would like to clarify a little bit. The child didn't pack his lunch, he actually went home, asked his mom to cook him up the smelly fish dish and then went back to school. That being said, our main question was, why didn't she have him change his clothes or something, before he went back to school? And also, while we are sure the teacher had good intentions, wouldn't the more appropriate action to have been to call home to let the mother know? What if there had been another child with an airbourne fish allergy? What if the child himself had had an reaction to the febreeze? SO many questions, so little common sense. You nicknamed the child 'febreeze' there is another nick name in my inner circle in which we say he now has a cow boy name 'the capelin kid'. Don't get me wrong, I do feel badly for the child, but I don't think the mother helped the situation by bringing it to the media's attention. I'm also shocked that this story has made it as far as it did, and especially never expected to come across it on your show, but in retrospect, it is the type of story you do normally review.

It's too true; we are suffering from "WTF-Fatigue." It's probably why so many people think--justly, I'll admit--that we are a city full of a55-hats

I'm from Brooklyn. I once saw a man pedaling what I can only describe as a three wheeled cupcake down my street. It was pink, with sprinkles, and handlebars and a seat and a front basket full of teddybears. it looked a little like this:

So yeah. I'm WTFED out.

Uh, you forgot the word Live in the title. I'd been saving this up for later because I thought it was the scripted variety.

What Tara said about New York is true. My ex-brother-in-law's brother was in Grand Central Station on 9-11. They heard it from down there (they were just a couple of blocks away) and nobody acted like anything happened. Nobody even looked up or flinched. It almost might well have been a hallucination until someone ran down the steps shouting that a plane had hit the World Trade Center. Loud booming noise that shakes the room? What's the big deal about that?

If someone tried to propose to me with a real diamond I'd punch them in the face. "Oh, honey, I love you so much, here's a rock dug up by child slaves and used to fund warlords in Africa!" EFF THAT NOISE!

Conflict diamonds are just plain disgusting. Worse, there's no real way to guarantee if the diamond you buy is safe or not. The Kimberly Process has officially been declared a failure. Also, a lot of places stocked up on diamonds a couple decades ago and started selling them as "safe" when in fact they were procured through inhumane ways. Heirloom ring? Look up DeBeers, they've had a monopoly on the industry from the start and only recently changed that, so much so that they wouldn't have been allowed to operate in the US in the 30s. They used manipulative marketing campaigns to make everyone associate getting married with a diamond ring. "Diamonds are Forever" comes from them.

So basically, if someone proposes to you with a diamond, they aren't globally aware or think that tradition is more important than the horrifying suffering of people under warlords, which includes the deaths of children.

Go with a synthetic diamond, or a different kind of jewel. You won't go bankrupt in the first months of your marriage, and you won't be funding human suffering.

All of this.

Besides, rubies, topazes and opals are much prettier, imo. Oh, or pearls! And those are a renewable resource!

Something I note. Why was the guy bleeding from the mouth?

Also, How does this sound, "uh yeah he was yelling at us then we put him in the cop car and he beat himself unconscious."

About the story with the guy locking himself in his apartment over stolen chicken, I asked my grandmother about that since she used to be a cop for serval years and she said that things like that happened at least once a month and every night there was a full moon out. She then proceeded to tell me about how most of things she saw as a cop would make stuff on WTFIWWY look down right tame. But regardless of that she and I both really enjoy this show. n_n

That New York tangent reminds me of the first TMNT movie. Raph just does a roll over a taxi's hood.

"What was that?"
"Looked like some sort of giant turtle in a trench coat...so where you headed?"

I'm totally getting $10,000 of Pepsi now.

Okay, first off, whoever at Pizza Hut thought that'd be a good idea is fucking retarded. Second, NAKED CRAZY IN CALIFORNIA! FINALLY HAVE A CALIFORNIA NAKED CRAZY STORY! Third, I feel like Nash every time my internet connection conks out. And finally, you guys do such a great job reporting the stupid and crazy every week. Keep it up.

If someone is smuggling animals into China, they are either for food or medicinal superstition.

You were close. XTC is actually a band from the 80s :)
