“Musician Dave Carroll recently had difficulty with United Airlines. United apparently damaged his treasured Taylor guitar during a flight. Dave spent over 9 months trying to get United to pay for damages caused by baggage handlers to his custom Taylor guitar..

During his final exchange with the United Customer Relations Manager, he stated that he was left with no choice other than to create a music video for youtube exposing their lack of cooperation. The Manager responded : “Good luck with that one, pal”. So he posted a retaliatory video on youtube.

The video has since received over 7.5 million hits. United Airlines contacted the musician and attempted settlement in exchange for pulling the video. Naturally his response was: “Good luck with that one, pal”.

Deep male voice slowly: sheri, see voo play da la cafe in la chaams eel ezaaay…

She responds deliberately: Garbage Bag…

Wasn’t it a few years back we were all hearing how Marijuana and alcohol use leads to harder drugs? –and by harder drugs it was usually understood they meant heroin? Er wait, not Alcohol, that just leads to peculiar bumps in the female anatomy and liver disease in both sexes. Maybe the first part explains why it is still legal, but we digress.

The new word on the street is that Attention deficit drugs like Ritalin and Aderall are leading people to experiment with harder opiate drugs (heroine in the prescription form) and opiate substitute drugs like OxyContin, Vicodin, and Percocet –and the OD rates are alarming.

Leonard J. Paulozzi is an epidemiologist (someone who studies disease outbreaks) with the Center for Disease Control (CDC). Recently explained that mortality rates from drug overdoses are currently four to five times greater than they were during heroin’s heyday of the 70’s (See the history based movie American Gangster with Denzell Washington and Russel Crowe) and double the level of Crack Cocaine’s heyday (see the history based move “Blow” with Johnny Depp)

Those movies depict bent businessmen listed respectively: Frank Lucas and George Jung who become drug Kingpins of North America selling high quality Heroine and Cocaine into the United States from foreign sources. Now that we know these Attention deficit drugs are leading to harder legal prescription drugs, what will the next step be for the National War on Drugs? Pharmaceutical company busts? Doctor Office Raids? Insurance company asset seizure? We’ll be waiting with baited anticipation to see the next bigscreen hit: “Novartis Man: The story of Marcus Welby’s rise and fall.”

Good stuff.. Sarah Silverman does her best in this video to explain the situation to Jimmy Kimmel. We’ll keep you informed of this and other entertaining news.

Mistyped often as Mat Damen, Sara Siverman, Jimmy Kimel Kimel, you can use this story as a reference.

One might think Heath Ledger sent care packages to Elvis with all the news coverage he has received. He did not even know him, but at the recent SAG awards, winner Daniel Day Lewis dedicated his award to Heath Ledger. Will Heath Ledger have the following of Elvis or JFK? If so, he’ll be more famous dead than he was alive.

At theFutonPoncho, we are sure that the family and friends would rather not be deluged with constant messages on the national media about the death. But we couldn’t resist. With all of the ridiculous coverage it seems someone has attempted to take action to exploit the situation.

Posing as Kim Ledger, the deceased father, a person is calling the agents and representatives of past co-stars including Halle Berry, Mel Gibson and Christian Bale, asking them to attend private memorial services. In the end, it was just a scam from a British telephone number to obtain the A-listers personal information.

theFutonPoncho does not condone the action, but with all the coverage given to the death of an actor, we’re not surprised. The American media will take no lesson from this event, however there maybe something there for the rest of us. Now we know to be on guard of unknown people who call at the time of a friends passing.
