Russell Brand OWNS “Katy Perry” Heckler During Stand-Up Show


Russell Brand absolutely shut it down during his stand-up show in Atlantic City, N.J., just annihilating a heckler who had been taunting him about Katy Perry.

The heckler had been yelling Perry-related comments at the Borgata on Saturday, most of which went ignored by Russell, who split with Katy last winter.

But it was his yelling “God save the queen!” during a bit about the British royal family that sent the zany comic into full-scale verbal attack mode:

“What, mate?” Russell tentatively began. “I want to see what this person looks like, turn the lights on for me because I really want to achieve some sort of confirmation. Let’s have a look… Come here, let’s see you.”

The audience was all too happy to direct Brand.

“Let’s see how your mental illness looks in the daylight,” Russell said, ushering the man forward. “It’s you, is it? Oh, dear. I was hoping that your personality was just a result of physical beauty. But then I saw you.”

“I thought, ‘This guy’s confident, probably, because he’s incredibly handsome,’ but look at you. You look like somebody who’s fallen off the outside of a church.”

“And what is it that you have rattling around your mind, some bizarre combination of alcohol and idiocy… some cocktail of nothing.

“And yet the confidence to continue shouting. They say of course, don’t they, that empty vessels make the most noise. What an enormous echo of nothingness from you.”

“I know on some level, despite your physical appearance to an ape, that you’re a human being,” he continued. “I think silence is your friend.”

“I think keep your lips firmly, firmly clamped together.”

“Because everything that comes out of your mouth, from your idiotic announcements to your disgusting halitosis that’s coming through this room, is an abomination.”

In a word … owned.

Amtrak readies conductors to trade in their hole punchers for iPhones

Amtrak readies conductors to trade in their hole punchers for iPhones

Pilots aren’t the only ones updating their workflows with modern technology. Amtrak conductors have been getting schooled on how to use iPhones to scan passenger tickets on select routes since November — forcing hole punches to collect dust on a lonely shelf at the station. By the latter part of this summer, 1,700 conductors will be using the aforementioned smartphones on the outfit’s trains throughout the US which allows them to track passengers with more ease than manual ticketing. The $7.5 million system affords passengers the choice of printing the tickets or loading a bar code on their smartphone of choice before getting the iPhone’s scan. Inside the dedicated app, riders can book and modify reservations easily without having to worry with a refund from an agent first. There’s only one small hiccup: currently Amtrak’s app is only available for iPhones. But, the government-owned corporation says that an Android release is in the hopper and should see daylight this fall. For now, non-iOS users must load their tickets though a mobile site in order to save a tree or two.

Siri Gets Racist in iPhone Ad Parody


Looks like there may be a few bugs in the newest version of the iOS.

People have complained that Siri rarely does what you actually want and that she can have a difficult time with nuances of different languages.

We had no idea Siri was a closet racist, however, until just now.

In a parody from Funny or Die, the virtual iPhone assistant offers advice to an African-American gentleman based solely on racial stereotypes.

This is the second funniest spoof on the iPhone after last winter’s nuclear marital Siri argument. When in doubt … call your parole officer.

Other than that … swag, swag, swag, swag, swag.

The fifth of May.? El Cinco de Mayo.? What does that mean to you?? In the United States of America we sometimes think of big Mexican hats (sombreros) and nachos and celebrating Mexican pride.? Many people mistakenly think that El Cinco de Mayo is the day Mexicans celebrate their independence (which is actually 9/16).? As a matter of fact El Cinco de Mayo is the day that Mexicans commemorate their victory in a battle against the French in 1862 at Puebla.? In Mexico El Cinco de Mayo is called El D?a de la Ballata de Puebla, translated to English as the Day of the Battle of Puebla.

Now onto some Mexican inspired food.? Here are a few different ideas for the day.

SF Climates iOS App Offers Neighborhood Specific Weather Reports

Screen Shot 2012-05-06 at 5.31.14 PMAs a resident of NYC, I find little use for the SF Climates iOS app that all of my San Francisco-based friends (read: social media whores)?are boasting over today. But a lot of you do live there, so you might find it useful. Let’s say you live in the Marina and for some reason need to go to the Dogpatch or vice versa but you’re unsure what the weather is like. Or maybe the grit of the Mission is getting to be a bit much and you want to hang out with a bunch of babies in Noe Valley. Do you pack a sweatshirt or put on shorts?
