Viral: Pumpkin Drop

Lets celebrate Halloween with a pumpkin drop. Utah’s largest pumpkin for the year, weighing in at 1,169 pounds, was dropped on an old Pontiac after being hefted up by a 175-foot crane. Lets just say that a pumpkin can really mess up a Pontiac.

Pontiac Pie:

The pumpkin was grown by Matt McConkie from Mountain Green and it is calculated that the descent of the giant pumpkin reached a top speed of 67.1mph for 3.1 seconds before meeting its end

Viral: The Rent is too Damn High

OK this is the meaning of a viral and a meme all rolled up into one. If you have been under a rock for the last week you haven’t seen this yet, we present it in all its glory for you now.

In a debate expected to be dominated by top New York governor candidates Andrew Cuomo and Carl Paladino, Jimmy McMillan of the Rent Is Too Damn High Party provided the fireworks. Watch his inspired views on karate, gay marriage, and, well, rent.

The official party logo:

Now this is destined to become one of the biggest memes the internet has ever seen, here are a couple to get you started, but we think this is just the tip of a very large meme iceberg.

Epic Cleavage Girl should have stuffed more money in her bra

image You may remember the girl in the picture as Winter Pierzina, aka WintrSprngSummrFall, who posted some videos to YouTube last year demonstrating how she stashes everyday items (cell phone, car keys, claw hammer) in her enormous bra. The videos were entertaining, and she was the viral Hot Internet Chick of the Month, and YouTube even shut down her channel for excessive bra-someness, or something like that. (She’s back on YouTube, and below is one of her earlier videos: “Big Boobs = Handy Purse.”) Cute girl with big boobs stashes stuff in her bra—that’s just gold.

But those were better days for Winter—as we were saying, serious issue at hand.

A few months ago, Winter was texting while driving and she totaled her car. Texting while driving! Jesus, girl, could you have picked a more cliched way to nearly kill yourself here in the year 2010? Every day, it seems, we are assaulted by PSAs warning us of the dangers of talking on the phone while driving, texting while driving, surfing the Internet while driving. Whatever she was doing (she may have been MapQuesting while texting), it was really fucking stupid, and she is lucky to be alive.

We can’t go into the specifics, but the situation now is she has to do a ton of community service and she owes the state of California $2,500 in fines. If she doesn’t pay, she’ll go to jail…

Viral: The MP3 Experiment

The folks at Improv Everywhere used 3,000 participants for their latest mission. Each had an MP3 player that received simultaneous instructions (and music). That had to appear really strange to anyone not in on the plan! It all culminated in a flashmob at Bryant Park.

Flashmobs are fun!

Viral Video: Grover does Old Spice Man spoof

Old Spice Man  was the biggest viral marketing hit of the year, and now on Sesame Street. In a new clip, Grover the furry blue monster tells viewers the advantages of smelling like a monster and knowing the word "on." Isaiah Mustafa doesn’t make an appearance, but Grover makes a pretty good stand-in.

The spoof is spot on. Grover sports a towel and does the "look at yourself, now back to me" bit, the "two tickets to that thing you love" bit, and of course, "I’m on a horse."

Grover is the meaning of cool
