Today, the soundtrack CD to the 1960’s classic television show ‘My Favorite Martian’ was released by La La Land Records. This CD was Produced by 2 Live Fools co-host David C. Fein, and has almost 80 minutes of classic music by the late George Greeley.
It’s real! There is an official Apple iCar! I’ve seen it, we’ve all seen it since March 2006. His name is MAC iCAR, and he has the unique distinction of being the only ‘real world’ trademark in the Disney/Pixar motion picture, Cars.
It’s MAC iCAR, the unsung Apple trademarked hero of the film!
“The bug of ‘Bug’ is that it has no bugs, and Lions Gate knew it.”
To some extent or another, we all realize that movie trailers can be misleading, and in recent years, pretty much give away an entire film. However, with William Friedkin’s “Bug” from Lions Gate (the king studio of most things horror nowadays), different boundries were crossed — the lowest of lows — complete deception in advertising.
To kick off the summer right and in the vein of lazy, voyeuristic moments we all cherish, the Fools bring you some more hand-picked virals that we feel are worthy of your precious, short attention span.

We fools love a great deal… and I’ve had this set since it first came out, and I paid close to $200 for it. This new release features the thin cases instead of the full size cases that my box had. It takes up very little space on your shelf, and has over 1750 minutes of great British humour!
Here’s every episode of Monty Python’s Flying Circus, and the special “Monty Python Live!†2 disc set in one box for 50% off it’s normal price at A&E for this week only.
UPDATE: This deal has expired, however the price has only risen to $49.95 which is still an amazing deal. Follow the link above if you are still interested.
If during our virtual travels we come across something so foolishly extraordinary that we think to ourselves “brilliant,” or “genius,” or “holy shit,” we jump on it and bring it to school for ’show and tell’ for everyone to take a gander. Introducing the 2 Live Fools’ Top 10 list of Viral Videos of the Moment.
Bruce Campbell’s Old Spice Commercial in Hungary. This is genius. Just when we thought Old Spice was for our dads…
It’s about time someone takes a shot at Steve Jobs for trying to make us believe that this iPhone does everything. Thank you Conan!
MANILA, Philippines - The canine versions of Starsky and Hutch have arrived in Manila, where they sniffed through locked steel doors, pointing authorities to stacks of pirated movies during a mall raid Monday.
Fresh from a successful one-month stint in Malaysia, where they angered movie pirates by helping authorities uncover 1.3 million discs and burners worth about $3.3 million, Lucky and Flo are now training their noses on the Philippines. Nervous stall owners scurried away or locked themselves behind steel shutters when the two Labradors, trained in Ireland to detect optical discs, led government agents and representatives of the Motion Picture Association-International through the Makati Cinema Square mall.

The two female dogs — wearing neon vests stamped with their names — sniffed through glass cabinets, bags and boxes. The pirated discs they found included recent releases such as “300″ as well as “Borat” and “Apocalypto.” In the first hour alone, Edu Manzano, chairman of the Philippine government’s Optical Media Board, said they seized at least 300,000 pirated discs and arrested 11 people, who face charges of copyright infringement and violation of anti-pornography laws.
Okay, I know this is fluff, but I couldn’t resist. And as the British say…”brilliant.” Future pirate Keith and I need to hook up and write some black comedy. First, thank God Reuters, one of the most respected news organizations in the world, every UK newspaper, TV and online outlet, and every other wire service throughout the world actually printed this story.
“LONDON: April 4, 2007 — Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards said in a new interview with a British music magazine that he once snorted his father’s ashes mixed with cocaine during a drug binge.”
Then Richards came out and said he was joking and Reuters retracted it, conveniently blaming the source NME as seen in this article and the first one was taken down.
Keith Richards
I’m not going to harp on this, but the media was so ready to pounce on the sensational side to the story, they forgot to ask themselves if it is supposed to be funny or not. NME, a leading respectible source for music news uses interviewer Mark Beaumont’s attemp to explain himself as NME’s defense as to why the egg is still dripping off its chin.
Keith has long been known as a prankster, someone interviewing the rockstar could’ve known perhaps a little about him before the interview. Let me quote Keith from the article:
“He was cremated and I couldn’t resist grinding him up with a little bit of blow. My dad wouldn’t have cared, he didn’t give a shit. It went down pretty well, and I’m still alive.”
Do think Keith really did it? Was it really an April Fools joke? You decide. Let us know.
