Running a contest to fire your employees? Wow...Pat thinks working conditions here are bad, and we even have gold plated toilets! Apparently in Iowa convenience stores, it's cool to run these contests to get your employees fired. The owner of a chain of stores there said he would give a $10 prize to workers who predicted who would be the next one fired. The boss, William Ernst - owner of QC Mart sent a memo to employees with these rules:
Employees gave the name of the next cashier they thought would be fired and put their name and date on the slip.
The store would have secret shoppers in QC Mart stores look for "cashiers wearing a hat, talking on a... Read More
Jake Zweig - Top Shot Season 3
This week we caught up with Jake Zweig from Top Shot Season 3. If you're not familiar with Jake or the show, you can check out an article we wrote about the show here. It includes a short video of Jake in action.
If you are familiar with the show, you've seen the side of Jake that appears after you edit 43 hours of footage into 40 minutes of actual television. He's a Navy Seal, a football coach, college wrestler, and is skilled at ceramics. Yes...ceramics. He was also shot, lost a pinky, and more...and you'll find out all about it in this two part interview. Here is part two...click here for Part One.

A man attacked a teen boy after the kid killed him in Call of Duty. Mark Bradford, who is 46 years old, was getting called names by the teen over his headset when he decided to go to his house. He admitted to choking the boy, and apparently he was choking the boy until his mom came in and then he just walked away without saying a word. He'll be back in court on October 24 to be sentenced. But really, who hasn't wanted to choke a mouthy kid in Call of Duty?

(Editor's Note - That's a picture of the guy's face, the rest was done in Photoshop. Bart Simpson isn't the kid he choked.)
Well, Bro Council was right when we told you the iPhone 5 would be announced on October 4. We were also right when we said if you want more information just Google it.....there were over 543 million results for "iPhone 5". Today, there are over 1.1 billion results.
Wow, over a billion other pages about the iPhone 5 and only Bro Council has a real* mockup of the phone:

Yes, in general we think that the US>Britain. But as you may have read we like the BBC version of Top Gear better here at Bro Council, mostly because of the host Jeremy Clarkson. Here's a video of Jeremy talking about the Halo 4 Warthog being a part of the video game Forza 4. Yeah, you heard that right...the Warthog is in the game. Unfortunately though, you can't drive it. The Forza team says that it would be too difficult to re-create the suspension and handling on the vehicle to make it realistic enough for the game. Whatever...I just want to see a Warthog in NASCAR now. That would be awesome.
I would like to thank Pat for... Read More

Alright, so normally a flash mob dance off to Bruno Mars at Disney World wouldn't be front page news at Bro Council, but this is pretty cool.
Guys, I'm pretty sure if you would set this up for any girl she would say yes - whether you've been dating for 7 years or it was your first date.
Your challenge: I want to see someone break-up with a girl to Ozzy Osbourne's Crazy Train at a McDonald's somewhere. Go!
Surprisingly, this is: Bro Council, Approved.
