Chevy Spends $200 On Advertisement and Literally Stops Traffic


This is a fun one out of England. Chevy decided to show off the new low price of the Chevy Aveo on their new billboard. They attached 20,000 pennies (1 pence pieces) to completely cover the car on the billboard. It was picked clean in 30 minutes by people that were literally stopping their cars and running over to the billboard. Can you imagine if they did that here in America. Half the people would be filling up buckets, while the other half would be like "it's just pennies, who cares". Click the picture to see it in a much larger size.

Mmmmm....Expired Food


I could not do what this guy is doing even if it is to show how much food people waste. I dont care what it is, if I see a date on something that is even a day before it is going in the trash. It doesn't matter what it looks like or how it smells. I totally hate lunch meat and deli cheese because they print the day of purchase on it. Whats that all about! I think its just to throw you off. The date alone makes me think that it has gone bad. Excerpt from the crazy English guy's 14 day gross food challange:

"Welcome to an unusual experiment. For two weeks I have decided to eat increasingly out-of-date supermarket-food in an attempt to discover the truth about Use-By and Best Before dates, and prove that Britain is throwing out tons of perfectly good produce."
