I’ve purchased more than one remote control vehicle for my nephews with the ultimate goal of grabbing the controller out of their little hands in order take over the scaled down machines and drive them until their wheels fall off. Even then I crash them more often than not. But the king of the remote […]

Interpreting Joe Cocker
Posted 6/24/2008 12:22 pm by Stephanie SturgisI actually watched some goofy TV game show for the first time where contestants tried to recall the lyrics to popular songs with $$$ on the line. The top prize was a million bucks, but I’m guessing no one is ever going to grab that brass ring. It was like watching drunks in a bar […]
Read »Morbid Munching in Casket Restaurant
Posted 6/23/2008 9:06 am by Stephanie SturgisI’m not a big risk taker in my life. I try not to tick off the Grim Reaper, keeping him at arm’s length as much as possible. I’m wondering what the owners and patrons of a new eating establishment in the Ukraine were thinking when they mocked death by building a theme restaurant named Eternity […]
Read »Don’t Squeeze The Charmin, Wear It!
Posted 6/20/2008 2:26 pm by Ron HoganYou see that lovely wedding dress? It’s not just a lovely outfit, it’s a lovely outfit made of, get this… toilet paper. That’s right, it’s a squeezable soft, extra absorbent, ridged for extra cleaning bridal gown. That lovely dress, fabricated over a two week period by Katrina Chalifoux, won the fourth annual toilet paper dress […]
Read »Evolution of Sarcasm
Posted 6/20/2008 1:44 pm by Stephanie SturgisSome call it being sarcastic. Some call it being a smartass. Either way, it’s apparently proof that we as human beings are evolving. It seems studies in Israel and California have shown that people with damage to the right side of the brain can not distinguish sarcasm during conversation. The scientists are saying that those […]
Read »Butt Was an Enema Statue Necessary?
Posted 6/19/2008 11:02 am by Stephanie SturgisJust what can you say about a statue that honors anything involving the human butt? It’s pretty much put me at a loss for words but I’ll give you the bare bones of it all and you can click the link to get the rest. A Russian spa has built a five-foot tall statue of […]
Read »Soccer and Transformers
Posted 6/18/2008 1:14 pm by Stephanie SturgisNever let it be said that Pop Fi doesn’t give a regular dose of sports stuff. Why, we’ve even covered a tiny soccer team and games for your dog. It’s no secret that nearly everyone on the planet is mad for soccer, or as its known in most other locales on the globe, futbol. In […]
Read »The Case of the Shrinking Ice Cream
Posted 6/16/2008 11:24 am by Stephanie SturgisEverybody and their brother are talking about the rising price of a gallon of gasoline. I know I’m feeling the pinch in my bank account every time I fill my tank and see the numbers on the pumps whirling around and around faster than Britney Spears can pop in and out of rehab. But at […]
Read »Unicorn Deer = Freaky Bambi
Posted 6/13/2008 10:32 am by Stephanie SturgisI’m not the sort of person who gets all moony about mythological unicorns and rainbows, but I do get worked up over animal freaks. Whether it’s two-faced kittens or siamese twin calves or obese monkeys or featherless birds, I’m all about it. I just read about the latest Mother Nature mix-up – a “unicorn” deer […]
Read »Death of a Gummy Bear
Posted 6/12/2008 11:58 am by Stephanie SturgisI’ve got a sweet tooth, but there’s one candy that rarely touches my sensitive palate. I can’t abide Gummy Bears. I’m guessing even those stupid candy criminals didn’t even grab any of these during their stealing spree. I know I must be in the minority as the sugary, sticky products keep turning up in all […]
Read »Office Rampage Video Makes Suckers Out Of The Internet
Posted 6/12/2008 9:21 am by Ron HoganRemember that awesome viral video of that office worker going completely insane? Well, as it turns out, that wasn’t just some great hidden camera footage. No, it was just your every day, run of the mill viral marketing campaign. Instead of selling computer products or pepper spray, it was just a video selling the upcoming […]
Read »Bombing On The Golf Course (Literally!)
Posted 6/11/2008 2:47 am by Ron HoganWho doesn’t love a relaxing day on the golf course? The sun’s shining, the grass is green and lush, there’s a nice cool breeze blowing through the trees. Oh yeah, and there’s also discarded military explosives right off the tee box. Wait, what? Right off the 5th hole, Freddie McGee was operating a bulldozer with […]
Read »Chicken Bomb
Posted 6/10/2008 11:27 pm by Stephanie SturgisI live in a rural area so seeing dead things along the side of the road isn’t uncommon. Squashed raccoons, flattened opossums, dead deer and stinky stunted skunks regularly make up my daily drive to work. But I’ll admit I have never spotted a chicken bomb on the edge of the highway. That’s what one […]
Read »Can You Pop Popcorn With Your Cell Phone??
Posted 6/09/2008 9:23 am by Stephanie SturgisEveryone knows we love a viral video here at Pop Fi. Whether it’s an office worker going insane, an ugly divorce situation or the Obama kid, we try to keep on spreading the video love. One of the latest to hit the Intertubes is a clip of folks using cell phones to heat up some […]
Read »Bicycling With Bubbles And Seeds
Posted 6/05/2008 11:18 am by Stephanie SturgisThere’s just something about bubbles that regress every adult back into a kid again. When I see some tots blowing soap bubbles on their front lawn, I either want to take the wand away from them and create my own round wonders or chase the floaters and pop each and every one. An ingenious little […]
Read »Office Worker Has Huge Meltdown
Posted 6/04/2008 5:11 am by Stephanie SturgisWe’ve all gotten frustrated at work before. The daily stresses sometimes push us to the edge. But most of us pull ourselves back from the brink. Then there are those folks who go careening over that precipice and land in Crazyville. Think back to the hedgehog tossed in anger issue Pop Fi has covered for […]
Read »Weird Creepy Pencil Face
Posted 6/03/2008 11:57 am by Stephanie SturgisI ran across this video produced at the Savannah College of Art and Design that is pretty cool and creepy. After you watch this one, you’ll never look at a No. 2 pencil in the same way again. It’s got a weird Alice in Wonderland kind of vibe. I wonder what would happen if you […]
Read »Japanese Bruce Willis
Posted 6/03/2008 9:31 am by Stephanie SturgisEvery time I surf around the Internet, I invariably run across something that makes me scratch my head. Often that scalp tickling comes courtesy of a Japanese television show featuring something like a velcro wall or a crazy obstacle courses. That was the case when I ran across a clip of an Asian man doing […]

Posted 6/02/2008 8:28 am by Stephanie SturgisPop Fi recently shared info about NASA’s upcoming Kepler Mission through which you can send your name into space, now NASA is all excited about its Phoenix Mars Lander‘s recent discovery. Before it even reached out and touched the soil of the Red Planet, Phoenix sent a photo that created a stir back at home […]
