Heba from The Biggest Loser needs to shut her yapper

by Jonathan Toomey, posted Oct 29th 2008 5:20PM

Heba Salama from NBC's 'The Biggest Loser.'And no, before someone says it, she does not need to shut her yapper because of her love/hate relationship with food... although, that probably wouldn't hurt. Now before I say something else that may be construed as offensive, let me preface all of this with exactly what I said the last time I complained about someone on The Biggest Loser:

"Because what I'm about to write may come across as sounding harsh and insensitive, let me preface all of this by saying that I love The Biggest Loser and have nothing but the utmost respect for the contestants and what they go through on the show.

In a world saturated with reality shows, The Biggest Loser is one of the few that still comes across as "real." You can't script a 100lb. weight loss."

OK, the formalities are out of the way, so let's get to the point: why is Heba being such a bitch?!?

FedEx: "Not What It Seems"

by Bob Sassone, posted Feb 4th 2007 9:20PM

Workers in an office are around a conference table talking about whether or not they should switch to FedEx Ground because the name implies it might not be as fast because of the word "ground." Everyone has a name that mirrors what they do (Bob bobs his head, Eileen leans, Joy is joyful, Harry is hairy, etc.). This has one of my favorite exchanges of the night:

"We all agree that FedEx Ground is fast, despite the name 'ground.' "

"Well said Mr. Turkeyneck."

The best FedEx ad of the night, and definitely in the top 10 so far.

Bob & Harvey Weinstein + WWE = WTF?

by Kevin Kelly, posted Oct 17th 2006 10:29AM
wweBob and Harvey Weinstein, formerly of Miramax fame, have just signed a deal with the World Wrestling Entertainment to distribute all of the WWE's home video library, which includes past, current, and future releases. Plus, the deal opens up the possibility of theatrically releasing WWE videos, and provides them with a ring full of star material. Bob Weinstein told Variety, "Some of these guys are natural-born talents."

That's about when my head exploded. Have Bob and Harvey lost it? Or are they pure and total geniuses? Their Weinstein Company owns a majority stake Genius Products, who signed the WWE deal, which pushes me into the "lost it" camp. Don't call your company "I'm Smarter Than You Are Productions, Inc." unless you are itching for a smackdown. And here I swore I'd get through this post without saying "smackdown," dammit.
