Jedi Mind Meld: Obama Can’t Budge Congress, Use Correct Star Wars Lingo

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Hmm. No wonder the White House won’t build a Death Star for us. At a press conference today, Barack Obama proved that while he may be our coolest-ever President, even he needs to bone up on his pop cultural references. Speaking to the press about sequestration and forging a bipartisan budget reform agreement, Obama said he can’t perform a “Jedi mind meld” on Congress. Maybe because there is no such thing as a Jedi mind meld. Obama Jedi Mind Meld His point: much as he would like to simply MAKE Republican leaders agree to his spending cuts, he is “not a dictator” and you need two sides to compromise. What Obama probably meant was to reference either the “Jedi Mind Trick” from Star Wars … or the “Vulcan Mind Meld” from Star Trek often used by Spock. Points for trying, B. A for effort.

Diddy: I Used to Wet the Bed!

Posted on March 1, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Take solace, bed wetters around the world: You are not alone. In fact, you have something in common with a music and fashion mogul. During an appearance on Ellen this week – to promote the company AQUAhydrate that he has started with Mark Wahlberg – Diddy made a very personal confession. Diddy on Ellen “I used to be a bed wetter,” Diddy said. “So I went on this quest to stop wetting the bed and the first day that I had a sleep over and I didn’t wet the bed it was like one of the greatest days of my life.  “It gave me the swagger that I have today because I stopped wetting the bed. And there is something about sugar that makes you wet the bed. So to all you boys and girls out there… I’m telling you to drink water, okay? It will stop you from wetting the bed and you won’t be embarrassed in front of the girls at sleepovers.” You’ll also get to see Jennifer Lopez nude someday. How’s that for anti-bed wetting inspiration?
