Get 50% off at a load of fancy pants bars if you can admit that Yelp sent you. I ain’t too proud to beg but some of you with more money might want to pay double because YEAH, BOYEEEEE*!!!
*no seriously, Yelp used the phrase “YEAH, BOYEEEEE!!!!” on their event page. I don’t even know.

If you’re in LA on Feb 27, your ass better be there for the world premiere. How long before they start playing it at The Red Vic? Oh also, word ots is that you can download this on sites that rhyme(ish) with tehbiratepay.borg. Party at your house, yall! You’re buying!
I just gotta cut and paste all this shit from the site because it’s too good:
BIRDEMIC, described by Nguyen as a romantic thriller, is a horror/action/special-effects-driven love story about a young couple trapped in a small Northern California town under siege by homicidal birds. BIRDEMIC also tackles topical issues of global warming, avian flu, world peace, organic living, sexual promiscuity and lavatory access.
Nguyen, a 42-year-old Vietnamese refugee, wrote, cast and shot the film over the course of four years using salary from his day job as a mid-level software salesman in Silicon Valley. The film pays homage to Hitchcocks THE BIRDS via location shooting in Mission Bay, California, as well as an appearance by star of THE BIRDS Tippi Hedren (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tippi_Hedren). When rejected for an official screening slot at Sundance, Nguyen spent eight days driving up and down the festivals nearby streets in a van covered with fake birds, frozen blood and BIRDEMIC posters, while loudspeakers blared the sounds of eagle attacks and human screams. The tactic caught the attention of festival organizers, filmgoers and local police, as well as executives from Severin Films. Severins executives walked into a screening, took one look at Nguyens masterwork, and immediately locked up BIRDEMICs worldwide rights for the next twenty years. Discussions are currently underway for Severin to add an additional thirty years to the initial agreement.

EDITOR’S NOTE: Serg posted this already (like, 10 seconds prior). Normally we would delete the second entry, but this shit is so awesome it deserves a second look.

Back when I wrote for a blog people actually read, I wrote about how I though New York Shitty was the best thing to happen to my life since Viagra. Well, as evidenced above, nothing has changed.

When you google “adam’s apple” (don’t ask), three of the six images that come back are Ann Coulter. TEE FUCKING HEE.
Also, judging by the most popular google searches, most people don’t care what this crazy bitch has to say, they just want to see her tits/possible wang. My biggest question is: who the fuck wants to see this skank naked? Oh right, my grandpa. CARRY ON!

Hella fools came down with food poisoning after a Yelp event a couple nights ago. If you read the comments, they’re all, “the party was super fun, ate some pork sliders, today I can’t feel my feet!” or something like that. Actually, I edited it to not gross you the fuck out with all their talk about shitting up a storm. Oops! Anyway, apparently hella fools had to take numerous days off work. DANG! I always thought Yelp should hand out tums at these events instead of fucking chapstick.
Yelp’s response is to deny, deny, deny! Oh and basically suggest that Yelpers use hand sanitizer. Which, GROSS, and also !?!?
Moral of the story? Stay away from pork. And probably Yelp.
Thanks for the tip, Ed!

This blog enjoys the irony of entrenched discriminatory conventions in our self-proclaimed bastion of progressivism (hypocrite city!)
Sharon at Vegansaurus brings us this gem. check out Amici’s Pizza’s “racist map of delivery intolerance.”
I mean DANG.
