If you’ve watched daytime television, you’ve probably been subjected to watching daytime tv commercials. Some of which might include Mobility Scooters, Have you been injured in an accident, Order medications from home, and Colonial Penn life insurance just to name a few.

One of the lamest is J.G. Wentworth’s “It’s My Money and I Want it Now!” commercial. J.G. Wentworth uses an older gentleman in nearly all of it’s commercials. This particular commercial applies to getting money from your structured settlement. Basically if you have some money coming in every month from a settlement, but want more of it now, then you can JGW to offer you a lump sum. They take a big chunk of it and then you have the rest.

Here’s their annoying commercial. Who yells out the window anyway? Who came up with the idea to have people yell out of the window?

Maybe the single most unique item available today, certainly the coolest item from Csonka.

– a great steel file,

You’ve probably heard about Duane Dog Chapman’s controversy over using the N-word in a recorded phone conversation with his son Tucker. He went on FoxNews’ Hannity & Colmes on Nov. 6 to break his silence. Dog is one funny guy and here are my 3 favorite parts of his interview.

On whether or not he’s a brother:

I thought that I was cool enough in the black world to be able to use that word as a brother to a brother. I’m not. I didn’t really know until three or four days ago what that meant to black people.

Of course, I know the story, and I know America’s story. But I never realized that that’s like stabbing a black person in the heart. I would never do that to any kind of person. I’ve always taken pride to be the white guy that can talk to the black people, that can refer to them truly as a brother from a different mother.

On the meaning behind his son’s name:

so it was kind of like Tucker was born. His mother’s water broke. We couldn’t make it to the doctor. I pulled Tucker out, and I thought he was dead. He was all blue. And I laid him to the side.

I kept pulling, and of course, the placenta was there and thought, oh no, she has twins and this one is deformed. And there was ambulances calling, and the ambulance driver walked in and said, “Good job, father, but you didn’t cut the cord.”

So when he cut the cord, Tucker started peeing all over my face — and I was, again — and he said, “Great job,” and Tucker took a breath of life. So I rode in the ambulance with Tucker, and on the birth certificate it says “delivered by father.”

I was in prison in Texas Department of Corrections. I named Tucker, Tucker D. Chapman, TDC. Because in my life I had to have to something take over that TDC, Tucker — Texas Department of Corrections.

So I thought, this is the son that I will have, that I will be a good guy for and never go back to prison. I couldn’t name him “prison.” But it was kind of like naming — there’s a song with Johnny Cash, name your boy Sue. It was kind of like that, I was in back then when he was born.

And so, I did — I failed Tucker because he went to prison, the bottom line.

Lastly and the funniest, on where he wants to be buried:

I went to see George Washington. And when I went there — his old house…
In Mount Vernon, correct. And so, they said, “Well, we want to show you, Dog, where we buried the slaves.” And I’m like, OK, right, I know that sounds morbid, but I wanted to see that.

So I went up and they pulled over. And I was on this little golf cart, because I’m — was the celebrity. And I got up and I said — he said, OK, there’s where it is at. And there was this blank hill. Right? And there were no markers at all, right?

And I said to him, “What do you mean?” I said, “This is where” — and he said, “There’s five family buried there. There’s buried there, there’s buried there.”

And I said, “Well, where’s their grave markers at?”

And he said — you know, he said, “We buried them with their feet towards the Potomac.” And he said it kind of — and I was like, hey, brother, you know, watch what you talk, you know, what are you saying? Because I was getting a little aggravated that he was talking stink like that.

He said, “No, Dog.” He said, “The black people back then, when they died, they wanted their feet buried towards the Potomac so they could walk over the river, when they passed away, back to Africa.”

And I thought, oh my God, there’s not a marker in there. There’s not a marker on the grave.

I have a hard problem, being some part Native American — being a Christian: do you get burned, do you get cremated, do you get — let the sharks eat you? How do you die?

I told the Lord, and I — two Catholic ladies own that property. So I’ve already made phone calls.

HANNITY: What are you going to do?

D. CHAPMAN: I’m going to be buried right in that center.

HANNITY: You made a deal to do that?

D. CHAPMAN: I’m making a deal. She told me, “Dog, absolutely.” I want to know at least what is some of their first names. And I want to be buried right where they’re at, because I will never be forgiven as I’m alive. And you and I know that.

Hopefully, you will recall former “American Idol” contestant who was featured on Festville back in January of 2005. If not, the Youtube video is below. Leroy who has endured scrapes with the law since appearing on the popular television show is heading to prison for almost four years, a federal judge in Mobile ruled this morning.

U.S. District Judge William Steele sentenced Leroy Eugene Wells, 25, to three years and 10 months for being a convicted felon in possession of a firearm. Wells’ arrest arose from a brief chase he led Mobile County sheriff’s deputies on in February after refusing to stop his vehicle.

Steele granted a request by defense lawyer James Scroggins to recommend to the Bureau of Prisons that Wells be sent to a prison with a comprehensive substance abuse treatment program.

“He has expressed his sincere remorse. We’ve had multiple conversations,” Scroggins told Steele. “He believes this is due to a drug problem.”

Added Wells, “I apologize for breaking the laws of Alabama and the United States. And I ask for forgiveness.”

It’s hard to get enough of Judge Larry Seidlin who presided over the hearing of Anna Nicole Smith’s remains. Here’s a best of video and the full ruling. There’s so much to love in this first clip such as Judge Larry telling Anna Nicole’s mother it’s not too late to be a police officer.

Here’s a MSNBC 8 minute clip. So much sweet stuff…just play if and listen.

Judge Larry reads his final ruling…why does he need to cry?

Chances are you’ve already seen this. Well, 4 million have watched it on youtube. What about the thieves that lock bump a house that has rigged up the classic “shotgun fires upon you when entering the home security system”?

Sylvia Brown, the psychic who gave a Shawn Hornbeck reading on the Montel show that turned out to be untrue, has attempted through her attorney, attempts to shut down StopSylviaBrowne.com. The website seems to be dedicated to taking “a look at the claims, predictions and behavior of a media “psychic”.

I had not seen the story of Ryan Katcher, another “psychic” reading that took place on Montel’s show.

Here is what appears on the website:

Some time during the night of November 5th, 2000, nineteen-year-old Ryan Katcher disappeared after being dropped off at his mother’s home in Oakwood, Illinois.

Subsequent searches of the surrounding area turned up neither Ryan nor his Ford 150 pickup truck, which had vanished along with him. Over the subsequent months, pleas for information regarding his disappearance were shown in local and state media. A web site (www.findryan.com) was set up in order to help in the search.

Three years later, in December of 2003, staff of the Montel Williams Show - having read about the search for Ryan on the Internet - contacted Linda Katcher (Ryan’s mother) and asked her if she wanted to appear on an episode of the show in which “psychic” Sylvia Browne would attempt to help people find their missing loved ones.

Later that month, Linda Katcher went to New York to appear on the show.

This website goes on to transcribe the comments between Ryan’s mother and Sylvia.

How Accurate Was the Reading?
More than three years later, on July 25, 2006, local police testing a new sonar device found Ryan’s truck in forty feet of water in a pond in Kickapoo State Park. The pond (and many other local bodies of water) had been searched at the time of Ryan’s disappearance, but sonar they had used at the time did not penetrate as far down as where the truck was eventually found.

Inside the truck were human remains, which the cold temperature of the deep pond had helped to preserve. Both dental and DNA testing determined that it was indeed Ryan. It was determined that Ryan, under the influence of alcohol, had driven off the road and into the pond, where he had then drowned.

So, let’s take a look at Browne’s “reading,” and how it stacks up against what really happened.

READING: Ryan was in a “metal shaft”.
REALITY: He was inside his truck, in a pond.

READING: Ryan was in Indiana.
REALITY: He was in Illinois.

READING: Ryan was between 25 and 27 miles from his mother’s house.
REALITY: He was less than six miles away.

READING: Ryan “aspirated.”
REALITY: He drowned. Drowning is the aspirating of water. But, if she meant drowning, wouldn’t she have said so?

READING: The truck was no longer near Ryan’s body.
REALITY: Ryan’s body was inside of it.

READING: The truck had “been broken down”.
REALITY: The truck was intact.

READING: The truck had been driven by some other boy (his name censored from the show).
REALITY: The truck had been driven by Ryan.

READING: Two other boys had been involved.
REALITY: Ryan was alone in the truck.

Unless we give Browne “partial credit” for “aspirated,” the reading was apparently one hundred percent incorrect.

From Anderson Cooper 360…
“Of the many horrors Shawn Hornbeck’s parents and loved ones faced during the four years their son was missing, some news they received early on — just four months into the ordeal — perhaps was the cruelest … perhaps.

They had looked everywhere for Shawn. There were no fresh leads, no rumors, no trails to follow. His parents were beyond desperate when they went on Montel Williams’ syndicated television program, where they were brought together with renowned psychic Sylvia Browne. The following is the transcript of the exchange between Craig Akers (Shawn’s stepfather) and Pam Akers (Shawn’s mother) and the psychic Sylvia Browne:

CRAIG AKERS: Can you tell how far from the area he was taken?

SYLVIA BROWNE: Maybe about 20 miles.

CRAIG: And he’s still within a 20-mile radius even now?

BROWNE: He’s still within a 20-mile radius of — let’s say, here’s where you are, 20-mile radius, but it’s really southwest of where you are.

CRAIG: Southwest.

BROWNE: So whatever is southwest, because it looks like this is — here we go again with the wooded, with the — you know, the wooded areas. So southwest of you.

PAM AKERS: Is there any landmarks around?

BROWNE: Yeah. Strange enough, there are two jagged boulders, which look really misplaced. Because everything is trees, and then all of a sudden, you’ve got these stupid boulders sitting there.

MONTEL WILLIAMS: And he could be found near there?

BROWNE: He’s near the boulders.

PAM: Is he still with us?

BROWNE: No.

CRAIG: Do you see the bicycle anywhere?

BROWNE: I think the — see, here’s what’s strange. I think the–the–the bicycle is in another state in a dump.

In other words, Sylvia Browne was telling his parents the worst possible news — that Shawn was dead, and that his body was in a rocky, forested area within 20 miles of their home. For the next three weeks, the search reportedly focused on finding Shawn’s body in that prescribed area.

Of course, they failed to find the body because last week — four years after he went missing — Shawn Hornbeck turned up very much alive.
