Killer Whale Kills Its Trainer at Orlando SeaWorld

posted by Miss FixIt - February 24th, 2010

The audience at the Orlando SeaWorld got more than they bargained for at a killer whale show. They witnessed the violent death of a female trainer when Tillikum, the killer whale, came out of the water and grabbed her by the waist and started thrashing around.

Apparently, this female trainer isn’t Tilly’s first victim. There were two others that were drown by Tilly. (via LA Times)

I bet you’ll think twice before bringing your little ones to a killer whale show next time.

Sushi On-The-Go

posted by Miss FixIt - February 23rd, 2010

Do you love Sushi but always on the go? Ever crave for Sushi but you are at a concert?

Fear not, Sushi Popper is here for you!
This invention allows you to take pre-sliced Sushi with you everywhere. All you need to do is push from the bottom and eat from the top.

But where do soy sauce and wasabi go??

Personally, I think this is a good idea but weird. I am ok with the bento-style Sushi box. I like to be able to see my Sushi and eat them with soy sauce, pickled ginger and wasabi.

What about you? Is this Sushi invention yay or nay??

2010 Winter Olympics Fashion

posted by Miss FixIt - February 15th, 2010

I enjoy watching the Winter Olympics in Canada despite the tragic death of Nodar Kumaritashvili. I also can’t help but smile whenever I hear the commentator yell out “Crikey!”

However, while watching these intense, high-speed skiing events, I can’t help but get distracted by the ugly ski uniforms the Americans are wearing. Come on! The USA team is representing the great nation of America and the best we can come up with is this pajama-like design? The USA team is seen by millions and millions of people all around the world and we are dashing through the snow in THAT?

USA Olympics Uniform

Is this the best uniform we can come up with? Urgh!

Dear Team USA uniform designers,
Please stop embarrassing our athletics with those dull, unflattering, pajama uniforms! Learn to use some happier and inspiring colors and patterns!
Thanks.
A concerned citizen

Super Bowl 44 Commercials

posted by Miss FixIt - February 8th, 2010

While I am not a major football fan, I am fairly immersed in the football culture; therefore, Super Bowl is like a national holiday in my household. The perks of watching Super Bowl includes lots of snacking, drinking, more eating and judging ridiculously-expensive commercials… oh right and the actual game itself.

After sitting through four hours of non-stop television, only a few commercial spots jump out at me, which means they did a very memorable job. Out of those few memorable ads, there are two that made the most impression with me: The DoritosĀ® Gym Ninja and Megan Fox.

Now, between those two, the successful commercial is the DoritosĀ® one since I actually do remember what it is selling. On the other hand, the Megan Fox one, while memorable, did not do its job. All I remember is Megan Fox in a bathtub with a cell phone. What does it really sell, I can’t remember. So that is a fail in my book. Read the rest of this entry »

World Record Kick to the Nuts

posted by Miss FixIt - February 2nd, 2010

Usually I find it funny when I see people getting knee in the groin on TV and in the movies, but after I saw this video, I am just speechless. This man is CRAZY! Sports Science did an experiment with the help of Rod Sacharnoski and American Gladiator Justice. This man Kirby has been kicked over a few thousand times over a period of five years. THOUSANDS!

iPad — Worst Name Ever

posted by Miss FixIt - January 27th, 2010

So Apple just unveiled their much anticipated touch screen tablet – iPad. While everyone is wowing and oohing over the awesomeness that is iPad, I couldn’t stop thinking how terrible the name iPad is. Really? They couldn’t come up with something better than iPad that won’t make people think about feminine hygiene product?
