CO2 COWS

First to recommend

Description

"While many scientists believe in the concept of Global Warming, some have gone so far as to blame much of the problem on cows, saying the four-legged farm animals emit more carbone dioxide (CO2) than automobiles. In these sections, you'll find products which cast barnyard bovines -- animals who contribute so much to our world -- in a much friendlier light." (via Bob McCarty Writes™)

Americans Idle™

First to recommend

Description

"Bob McCarty Writes™ has learned that ABC, hoping to compete on a “more level playing field” with Fox Network’s American Idol program, will air a new program in the same time slot beginning in January.

Unlike the Fox mega-hit, however, Americans Idle™ features competition between people who excel at doing absolutely nothing to win huge amounts of cash, according to an anonymous source who shared this tidbit with Bob McCarty Writes™.

Rather than hold auditions at locations nationwide, producers of the ABC show reportedly roam the country in search of contestants from sectors of American society well-known for their lack of productivity.

“Show producers locate potential contestants by walking the hallways of government office buildings and hanging out on university campuses and in the waiting rooms of personal-injury law firms,” the source explained.

Exactly how the competition evolves remains unclear, the source said. Show producers, however, expect the show to be a big hit within the so-called “entitlement” demographic group (i.e., individuals who believe they deserve wealth, but shouldn’t have to work hard to attain it)."

NEGATIVE WALLET BIOPSY™

First to recommend

Description

I think this is particularly funny, especially for people in the medical community. If you don't know, in medical lingo, "NEGATIVE WALLET BIOPSY™ means the patient doesn't have insurance or cash to cover the costs of healthcare and services. For the person who spent too much on Christmas presents, the term describes the damage done to their bank accounts. (via Bob McCarty Writes™)

Piano Donor™

First to recommend

Description

It's the story behind the design on this web site that sell the products. Take a look:

Claiming that organ donor programs across the nation have received more than their share of free publicity over the years, the newly-formed Piano Donor Coalition of America is relaunching an effort to seize the donor program spotlight.

“It’s time piano donors received their due,” said Sid Greenhorn, PDCA chairman, speaking at an early morning news conference in Key West, Fla., the home of . PDCA headquarters. “After all, how many people listen to organ music anymore?”

Greenhorn cited several studies showing that less than one percent of Americans listen to organ music on a daily basis – and that figure includes listeners who hear organ music during church, at weddings and during funerals.

“Lobbyists are to blame for the whole organ donor thing taking off,” Greenhorn explained. “President Ronald Reagan and the Congress were continually ‘played’ by representatives of the organ manufacturing sector. The following year, they designated the week of April 22 through April 29 National Organ Donation Awareness Week.”

“Had members of the piano industry been willing to ‘tickle the ivories’ of legislators 23 years ago, Americans today might be checking boxes on the backs of their drivers’ licenses and, in effect, telling the world they want to donate their pianos to people in need.” (via Bob McCarty Writes™)

Vote Bob 2008™

First to recommend

Description

It's the story behind the idea that sells it:

Officials with the Benevolent Order of Bobs™ (a.k.a., “BOB”) announced today that the organization will soon file papers with the Federal Election Commission declaring that one of their group’s members will seek the office of president of the United States in 2008. According to a BOB press release, organization leaders are busy perusing membership files and interviewing potential candidates this week and, within 30 days, the group expects to announce a candidate and launch his campaign. “This country has never had a man named ‘Bob’ serve in the Oval Office,” said BOB President Robert “Bob” Smith, who asked that we refer to him simply as “Bob” during a telephone interview this morning. “We think the country is ready to vote for someone named ‘Bob’ as a sound alternative to the usual ‘lesser of two evils’ option American voters see every four years.” The “head BOB” went on to explain their selection process. “We’re looking for a man named ‘Bob’ who is qualified and willing to serve his country in the nation’s highest elected office,” Bob explained, citing the fact that there are literally tens of thousands of people who answer to the name “Bob” in this country, making the pool of potential candidates quite large. “We’re optimistic about the prospect of finding a well-qualified man named ‘Bob’ to serve as president,” he concluded, “and we look forward to sharing what we like to call “Bobtimism” with voters.” Bobtimism, he said, is “that feeling wrapped around the belief that a guy named Bob can do at least as well as any of the previous presidents have done.” (via Bob McCarty Writes™)
