Talking Ted R Rated Talking Mug
Posted in: Today's Chili
I do know of parents who originally wanted to bring their kids to watch “Ted”, but after reading movie reviews online and realizing that this talking teddy bear is a whole lot more profane compared to the average playground chatter, they decided to settle for a different movie – which is more child friendly, too. I guess if you are one of those who are old enough to watch Ted on the silver screen, you too, can handle having a Ted-friendly mug in your office. I am referring specifically to the $17.99 Talking Ted R Rated Talking Mug, and as its name suggests, this mug has a mind of its own and can speak for itself, but it is all R-rated speech, so do keep this out of reach of little kids, all right?
After all, a mug is no good if you cannot put whatever you want in it, And with the Talking Ted R Rated Talking Mug, you can throw in coffee, tea, hot chocolate, soup, vodka, moonshine or absinthe, whatever drinkable liquid you desire, and your friend Ted will still welcome it, being by your side each time you take a swig. How does the Talking Ted R Rated Talking Mug work? Every time you lift it off a surface, Ted will mention a phrase from the movie at random, although his library is limited to just 5 phrases which tend to be full of swear words. It is powered by a trio of removable 3LR44 batteries.

Ted R Rated Talking Plush
Posted in: Today's Chili
Did you watch the movie Ted last year? If you have (and even if you have not, but find this animated teddy bear to be extremely cute although it can be rather obnoxious), then you might want to get the $14.99 Ted R Rated Talking Plush to be part of your comfort toys collection. Sure, this is one dirty bear – in the verbal sense, of course, and is far from cute compared to the Snuggle bear, but it will definitely be a friend for your entire life (as long as its stitches hold up, of course).
The Ted R Rated Talking Plush certainly lives up to its reputation, and will feature 5 phrases from the Ted movie, such as “Yeah, I mean, y-you know when you sewed me up you put some of the stuffing in the wrong places so I’m – I’m a little f—ed up, but will you take care of me for ever and ever?… Aha! I’m just kidding you! I thought it’d be funny if you thought I was f—ing retarded.” to “You ever hear a Boston girl have an orgasm? ‘Oh yeah! Oh yeah! Harder! Harder! Oh, God, that was so good! Now I’m gonna stuff my f—in’ face with Pepperidge Farm.’”, “Well you never should’ve trusted me. I’m on drugs!”, “Alright c’mon, let’s sing the Thunder Song. When you hear the sound of thunder, don’t you get too scared. Just grab your Thunder Buddy and say these magic words: F— you, Thunder! You can suck my d— You can’t get me, Thunder, ’cause you’re just God’s farts.” and “Oh f— that. It’s been 4 years, Johnny! You and me have been together for 27 years. Where’s my ring, huh? Where’s my ring, a——? Where’s my ring, mother f—er? Put it on my fuzzy finger, you f— C’mon!” Ted can talk as long as his trio of AA batteries have juice, of course.

Word comes by way of The Wrap that PBS is slated to air the very first TED Talk produced for TV on April 16th, and it’ll feature Bill Gates, to boot. The special sets its sights on discussing education and will include the likes of educators Geoffrey Canada and Sir Ken Robinson alongside Microsoft’s co-founder. In advance of the broadcast, the program will be taped at the Brooklyn Academy of Music’s Harvey Theater on April 4th. There’s no word on whether tickets are up for grabs to attend the event, but we’d start searching for friends who know Gates if you’d prefer the live experience.

This Onion TED Parody Has a Dog Eating Apple Pie, and That’s All That Matters
Posted in: Today's Chili
I’m sure the new Onion’s TED parody is funny, but I was just too impatient to sit through all that talk about how we consume, digest and poop out news even before they are fully written. So I jumped to the end, when a dog eats an apple pie, a moment I’ve waited to see in detail since they released their series trailer. More »
