While You Were Sleeping, Blue Meth Was Being Sold On The Streets Of New Mexico

Welcome To The Most Horrible Marketing Prank Ever

An animatronic “devil baby” in a remote controlled stroller has been hanging out around New York, frightening innocent onlookers while hidden cameras watch on.

Created by Thinkmodo, the prank is part of the marketing campaign leading up to the release of horror film Devil’s Due. It is completely fucked up.

Blue Meth Is On The Rise In New Mexico

Speaking of marketing pranks, this isn’t one of those.

Remember last month, when VICE found a methamphetamine kingpin in Alabama whose name was actually Walter White? Well, according to federal agents in the Southwest, demand is now high in New Mexico for an imitation version of Heisenberg’s signature ‘Blue Sky’: a blue-tinted meth which is even more dangerous than regular meth, thanks to the additive used to dye it.

The police are worried the drug, which was previously found in Missouri and Oklahoma, is being used to lure in new users: Breaking Bad fans who missed the point of the whole show. “We’re concerned that individuals may find it sexy and want to try it and utilize the drug, and it’s very addictive,” said a spokesperson for the Department of Homeland Security in Albuquerque. “Its truly bad,” he added unnecessarily.

Prince Will Be On New Girl

Last month, a report surfaced on DrFunkenberry.com (“Your daily source for news and funk”, I’m not kidding), announcing that Prince would appear on the post-Super Bowl episode of New Girl, after the pop star — apparently a huge fan — reached out to the show.

More details emerged on E! News overnight, and they’re hilarious.

“He contacted us last season because he’s a huge fan,” [said] executive producer Brett Baer. “He knows everything about the show. He contacted Zooey and Hannah [Simone] directly and asked to do the show. We couldn’t work it out last year. But when the Super Bowl thing was floated, it was perfect timing.”

We broke the story that Prince would guest star, and New Girl‘s bosses tell us the music icon also was very specific about what he wanted to do on the show. “He said, ‘I want to be involved in the show in a real way and I want to help Nick and Jess with their relationship,’” executive producer Dave Finkel tells us.

And sure enough, Prince is getting exactly what he wished for in the Super Bowl episode. “He’s right in the middle of trying to help [Nick and Jess] work through some stuff and it’s amazing,” Baer tells us. “His thing was all about getting to Jess and trying to bring out this inner part of her that hadn’t been brought to the forefront. The word hip tips was sort of the thing. He put it, I think I can give her some hip tips!”

Boys II Men Sung ‘You Just Got Slapped’ From HIMYM

One of the many ongoing jokes on How I Met Your Mother is ‘The Slap Song’, tied to the longstanding ‘Slap Bet’ that Barney lost in season two.

First appearing in season three’s Thanksgiving episode, after Marshall executes the third slap owed to Barney as part of the bet, the song was reprised in season five — and brought back in last night’s episode, performed by Boys II Men.

The whole thing is pretty silly.
