Ha ha! Philanthropy fail! Description fail.
Just get a load of this asshole. I can’t even imagine what motivated him to attempt the following stunt, but if his narrative is somehow intentional comedy, then give that man an award. Seriously.

Obviously, the poor soul had something like the following in mind:

Other scenarios include a fake fashion shoot where the subject thinks he is about to become a supermodel and another in which the mark becomes an auto racer, a set-up which ends when a police car comes up behind him on a race track to pull him over.
“If it were a regular person you’d feel bad for them, but they are all wanted by the law,” Darnell says. “It’s Cops as comedy and no one’s ever tried it before.”
According to Darnell, all of the marks are non-violent criminals. Darnell adds that set-ups are a common way for law officers to pull in law-breakers with warrants. However, most sting operations tend to be much smaller scale, such as tricking them into thinking they won tickets to a major sporting event.
Darnell envisions the show as an hour-long format. It was shot without a host, but would have someone providing narration.
Other titles under consideration are Now That’s Just Criminal and It’s Just Criminal.
Is it the bottom of the barrel yet?
…I mean, the bottom has to be somewhere.
I’m almost afraid to suggest it, but why don’t we just lock criminals in the middle of town and throw rotten fruit at them?

Did watching the 2nd and 3rd debates give you a feeling of déjà vu? This montage of synced-up footage from all three presidential debates confirms our deep-seated belief that every debate was exactly the same.
I for one welcome our synchronized robot overlords.
Seriously, this mashup is fantastic. It’s pretty funny, but more than that, it’s just amazing. Via boingboing.

23/6 Video: Get Your War On: Jump Off the Roof
October 24, 2008 -
Filed under: Get Your War On, Get Your War On jump off the roof, shoot yourself, Get Your War On, David Rhees, Jon Glaser, GYWO, Get Your War On Episode 13, Sarah Palin, John McCain, Palin/McCain, McCain/Palin…
Get Your War On is absolutely NSWF-hilarious! David Rhees execute these ideas perfectly in a new medium. Rhees is known for My New Filing Technique is Unstoppable, as well as the non-animated version of Get Your War On. Both of these are great comic strips, but the video is amazing…
For your viewing pleasure, I have collected every single episode into a single post. …but for your own safety, the rest of them are located after the jump. You might bust a vein from laughter, thereby crashing your cortex, but if you don’t follow these instructions, you will DEFINITELY crash your web browser and/or saturate your Tubes* with way too much information.
* As a brief aside, speaking of that series of Tubes we like to call the “Internets”, felonious Senator Ted Stevens was finally found guilty of seven – yes, seven – felonies.
Anyway, here’s how you watch it.
1) Download Firefox
2) Install NoScript. If you don’t already use this, then the Russian mafia has already pwned your machine.
3) View the whole post by clicking on “more”, and you can start the videos one at a time thanks to NoScript.
If you’re brave, ignore these instructions, and blow your tubes!
If you’re ready, watch the rest of Get Your War on.

Its been eight long years since the boys said wassup to each other. Even with the effects of a down economy and imminent change in the White House, the boys are still able to come together and stay true to what really matters.
I had a feeling the “Wassup” meme was bound to make a comeback, and let me tell you folks, it’s good to be right. Man, is it good!
…although this one is kindof tricky – watch it and see what I mean. The Germans have a word for it: “schadenfreude,” although that’s not the precise sense of the term, which typically involves laughing at the tragedy of others. This video demonstrates a sort of self-deprecating, uniquely American experience, made by Americans. Maybe a more appropriate term is simply bittersweet, with a strong emphasis on the “bitter.”
Props, once again, to John Taplin for the pointer.
