Dead Nationwide kid speaks out, says "April Fools!" to the country

In a surprising twist to the controversial Nationwide Super Bowl commercial, the dead kid from it, whom oddly enough appeared to be alive when we spoke with him, said, "April Fools, America!"

When asked why the "joke" of a commercial was released on February 1st as opposed to April 1st, the dead kid said, "Come on! What April Fools jokes catch the most people by surprise? Those told in February! Duh!"

He then went on at length about the concept of the commercial, saying, "Like, we were totally going to try and be funny like everyone else, right? But then we quickly realized that none of us were that funny, you know? I mean, we had ideas about there being a food fight in the kitchen of someone's home and then the mom slips on some ice cream, falls to the ground, and yells out, 'Damn you, Ben! Damn you Jerry!" but we didn't want to seem too anti-ice cream or even too, what's that word? Too lac, lax, laxative-intolerant or whatever that is... So, we decided to like, you know, catch everyone off guard by playing an April Fools joke about a dead kid on everyone, and in February no less! The adults in the room were like, and don't tell my mom I said this, but they said, 'This has to be the funniest s**t we've ever come up with!' So, yeah, that's how it happened and stuff. The adults were laughing really hard for some reason. I kept seeing them passing around soda cans and smoke was coming out from them, but I have no idea what that was all about. I think they might have been cooking something."

When asked if the ad's creators ever intended on the commercial being taken seriously, the dead kid said, "No! What do you think we are, stupid or something? I mean, come on! It's not like we threw the ball from the 1-yard-line instead of handing it off to that Beast dude, you know?"

Boycotting jukeboxes because of TouchTunes

I love music and enjoy hitting the bar(s) over the weekend, so naturally, when the mood strikes me, I've never been coy about playing some songs on the jukebox. This past Thursday, a friend of mine turned 50, so several friends of her's, including myself, all met up to celebrate the occasion. At around 9:30, a friend of mine and I both chipped in $5 to play some songs on the jukebox. Four hours and 231 skips later, we gave up on hearing the songs we had selected, and went home knowing we had just wasted $5. This wasn't the first time such a thing had happened to me (and many others), and due to that, I'll be boycotting jukeboxes. Why? The scam known as TouchTunes. You see, here's how the plot typically breaks down. A person (or group of people) downloads the TouchTunes app on his/her phone, consumes one too many adult beverages, and due to this, has less care for spending extra money to hear the songs of their choosing right NOW. That's the thing with TouchTun...

The difference between "looking" and "checking out"

I may be way off with these numbers, but it's my approximation that at least 75% of individuals whom are involved in a serious relationship feel it's perfectly acceptable to "check out" members of the opposite sex they're not involved with. Meanwhile, approximately 25% either don't feel this is acceptable or aren't sure about the matter. I hadn't thought about this matter for a while, but since I've been dating a woman for about 8 months, the topic has been pondered about some. When reading or hearing others discuss this very issue, I often times hear comments similar to the following: "It's human nature to look." "There's nothing wrong with checking others out. I'm sure he/she does it too!" "It's fine to do it. Just don't tell your boyfriend/girlfriend about it or do it in front of them!" "It's natural to find people attractive." When observing the array of comments, I i...
