The West Virginia police are apparently cracking down on the second greatest tradition in West Virginia history, couch burning after WVU games. This weekend marks a huge game against LSU, so what are the West Virginianites going to do? Learn how to read a map, and then follow said map in order to know where they can and can not burn couches of course. The nice people over at Deadspin put together a handy map of the campus safe zones for burning so that WVU students can download and learn their rights. Now, get cracking in your cartography classes and download away. Hopefully a GPS version will follow soon. Link: Maps Of Couch Burning Locations

  We all love pranks, and that includes consequences sometimes - but jail time? That's not actually the most shocking part of this article though. The most shocking part is that Fox Valley Technical College actually has dorms! From their website it shows that FVTC (that's the abbreviation for the school, just like WVU, or NYU, or USC - they're that big) provides College education for high-demand careers. 200+ associate degree, technical diploma, and certificate programs...plus seminars & customized training for business. Really? They have dorms? Thank you Wisconsin for changing my perception of technical colleges... Read More

In July, we were blessed with new neighbors across the street. I knew instantly that this was going to be an adventure...multiple generations living in the same house, a pregnant teenager, her boyfriend, and a guy that drives up in a PT Cruiser who is so big he can't get out of his car.  When he comes to visit, he lays on the horn until someone from the family comes out and talks to him from the porch. Just a few signs that alerted me that these people couldn't move out fast enough. It was the week of the 4th of July. In an attempt to endear themselves to the neighborhood, they set off fireworks every night for five straight nights - at... Read More

Ok...wait...so she saw the RUBBER snake and the string, and yet still tried to stop instead of running over it? Ya know, the smart thing to do! Nope looks like we have our next contestant on "teen mom". Link: Man Arrested With Rubber Snake

Today we have our first ever BroCouncil.com movie review; not just any movie, but Kevin Smiths new movie. Yes, that Kevin Smith and no it's not another Jay and Silent Bob (I wish). Don’t worry, I don’t plan on making any Jersey Girl jokes since he does that himself. This is a horror movie that if you didn’t know who wrote and directed it, you would do a double take and say WHAT?   For Smith fans we have heard for quite some time now about Red State but not a lot of actual information about it. That is, until Kevin started doing select city screenings before its actual release. I myself got to rent it on Apple TV from the comfort of my own home last night.... Read More

Does it scare anybody else that some marketer thought that "Bing: The Decision Engine" would be an effective slogan? Does anybody else sense an Artificial Intelligence sci-fi thriller here? Ever since Bing first made its appearance, I have been freaked out by it. I think I have used it three times. And it is just a search engine, like any other search engine. It takes past choices and friends' choices into account when giving you results, but it is just a search engine. What scares me more than a search engine misnomer is the idea that people find it attractive to have a computer make decisions for them. Hasn't anybody seen Terminator?! All... Read More
