Yankees will drag you out of the stadium if you try to go to the bathroom during "God Bless America"

 

The Yankees are serious about their bizarre prohibition on going to the bathroom during the playing of "God Bless America" during the Seventh Inning Stretch: a man was dragged out of the stadium for daring to stand up and move around instead of singing a patriotic, religious song. I really like Tommy Smothers's formulation of the principle at work here: "America, where you're free to say anything you want, and you'd better not say what you're not supposed to!"

 The NYCLU seems inclined to follow through with last year's promise to sue the Yankees over their policy of confining fans to their seats during the national anthem and "God Bless America," which is played during the seventh inning stretch. Yesterday Red Sox fan Bradford Campeau-Laurion, a Queens resident, told us about his rough ejection from Yankee stadium at the hands of the NYPD after he tried to go to the men's room during the seventh inning's moment of mandatory nationalism Monday night.

Do You Recognize This Face?

 

 

If you don’t, it’s OK, because this face does not exist. It’s an age-enhanced childhood picture showing what Michael Jackson would look like now if he’d never had cosmetic surgery or other physical alterations. The picture was made to accompany a Daily Mail article on Jackson as he turns 50 years old today. Link

AirKick: The Water Catapult

| |
 
 

If doing fun stuff usually involve an adrenaline rush, then this post is for you! Here’s AirKick, a "sport and adventure device" that sends you hurtling into (hopefully) the pool:

It propels participants through the air in a pre-calculated parabolic trajectory using a special combination of air pressure and water recoil technology. The participant sits in a specially constructed seat at the back end of the catapult arm and 3,2,1…Liftoff. He sets the device in motion himself by pushing a button. Approximately 60 Liters of water are then forced through a rocket nozzle under the seat. This pressurized water (8 to 10 bar of air pressure) propels the participant 8 meters (Ed note: 26 ft) though the air for a cool and refreshing splash down in a swimming pool.
