iApp Smellavision...Anchor Licks Her iPad

By Anthony Beard on April 7, 2011 8:07 AM


"How about an app that lets you taste and smell things right on your iPhone? Yeah, I know April Fools' Day is over, but apparently some people fell for this joke, including this news anchor who tricked her colleague into smelling and licking an iPad during live broadcast.

"The creators have found the way to emit the odors and the flavors right out of a smartphone," he told her. Piezzo-electrics is the name of a technology behind this magic, he convinced her. It was an April Fools' Joke but it's making rounds this morning in the Mac blogosphere so I thought I'd share it with you."

New from the makers of the original Winning Duh t-shirts, comes two new designs exclusively from ShitCharlieSays.com T-shirts and Gag Gifts. The new Sheen quote inspired t-shirts include the "I've Got Tigerblood and Adonis DNA" t-shirts and the "Sober Valley Lodge" t-shirts. The web site notes that all t-shirts are only available in black, 100% preshrunk cotton tees (most adult sizes available). Shipping is still quite reasonable with a flat $5.00 per order.

I recommend you check them out. To buy your own Charlie Sheen inspired t-shirt, visit ShitCharlieSays.com to order online or for more information.

Is Charlie Sheen Winning?! Duh...that is the question.

What at first I thought would be a short-lived blitz of crazy Charlie Sheen media attention, has blossomed into Charlie himself furthering the media coverage by starting up his own "distorted-reality" show of ravings and rants as well as a sad "talk show" (sitting around with his entourage at his home office) called Sheens Korner found on YouTube and broadcasting live from Ustream.

But are you winning Charlie? I ask myself. I think regardless of how long his stay at Sober Valley Lodge is, or how many tiger blood or adonis dna injections (can you inject dna?) he administers, or how ever many more tv interviews he does while being questioned about his possible bipolar disorder (that's bi-winning to you trolls), I still can't help but think Charlie is a tad delusional.

Let's hope this all turns out for the better and not with CNN or TMZ announcing his death. Charlie Sheen 1965-2011? I hope not...no matter what you think of him, I hope this guy can turn things around. In the meantime, I guess we'll just "sit back and enjoy the show."

The site claims that more t-shirt designs will soon be available as well as "gag gifts" - so keep an eye on this one to see what further hilarity ensues.

Charlie Sheen...the Tiger Blood Adonis. He's Winning! Duh.

Hilarity ensues all the while Charlie is digging a grave for his widely accepted popularity as a tv sitcom personality, yet carving out a new place for himself in the ages of cult status that only the likes of Charles Manson and Andre the Giant have enjoyed...until now.

Some of my favorite recent quotes:

When you've got tiger blood and Adonis DNA, man, it's like get with the program dude.

Ya, I...I...I am on a drug, it's called Charlie Sheen. It's not available, 'cause if you try it once you will die, your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.

I'm an F-18 bro and I will destroy you in the air and I will deploy my ordinates to the ground. It's that simple.

I'm a high priest Vatican assassin warlock.

(Interviewer: And what does that mean?) I don't know. All those words that sound cool together. It comes from my grand wizard master.

I was banging 7 gram rocks and finishing them, because that's how I roll. I have one speed, I have one gear, "Go!

...what's not to love. Especially when you see how I party man, it was epic. The run I was on made Sinatra, Flynn, Jagger, Richards, all of 'em just look like droopy-eyed armless children.

Bring me Dr. Clownshoes.

We win so radically in our underwear before our first cup of coffee, it's scary.

Fuel the magic.

I closed my eyes and made it so...with the power of my mind.

Defeat is not an option. They've picked a fight with a warlock.

Duh. Winning.

Thanks Charlie...for brightening my days with your bat shit crazy behavior.
