Balloon Boy? Try Balloon Roy! Flight was a magician stunt gone bad
2009-10-18 20:41:00 The aging magician duet of Siegfried & Roy now admits the so-called "Balloon Boy" flight was just a marketing stunt that went bad."The boy appeared to go into the balloon basket. Yes, that was part of the illusion," said Siegfried Fishbacher, who, along with Roy Horn, was trying to resurrect a career that was aborted in 2003 when Roy was bitten on the neck by a seven-year-old tiger named Montecore. "When the balloon landed, Montecore was supposed to jump out of the basket, but we think he fell out somewhere. This is terrible. This was going to be the rebirth of Montecore's career as well as ours." Fishbacher said. Jim Alderden, sheriff of Fort Collins, Colorado, had been contemplating filing...

Will Appraisers Stunt the Housing Recovery?
2009-09-20 18:07:00 After the financial meltdown last year lawmakers and regulators were determined to discover who was responsible for the debacle. Yes, the very people who drafted the laws governing mortgages and yes were also responsible for oversight of them went out to determine who was responsible for the melt down. The first culprit, of course, was the lenders. I think we all know how that played out. The next group on the chopping block was the appraisers. If they wouldn?t have appraised the homes then the lenders would not have lent on them, so goes the finger pointing. From that came sordid tales of realtors and mortgage professionals pressuring and even bribing appraisers to up the value of a property. Home Valuation Code of Conduct - HVCC After the scapegoats were identified the legislation followed. One prime piece of legislation aimed at appraisers was the Home Valuation Code of Conduct (PDF). The intent of the HVCC was to achieve more appraiser independence to reduce the amount ...

A BATTLESTAR GALACTICA Stunt Casting Fail
2009-02-18 03:02:00 Even though we at theTVaddict.com swore we would never jump on the over-used “fail” meme, Friday’s surprise appearance on BATTLESTAR GALACTICA by John “I’m a PC” Hodgman leaves us with very little choice. Not only is “The PC” guy far too ingrained in our culture zeitgeist to be taken seriously in anything outside of the occasional guest stint on THE DAILY SHOW. Hodgman’s appearance as Caprica’s sole surviving brain surgeon on the Galactica completely removed us from what should have been an emotionally charged scene with Anders’ life hanging in the balance. That and let’s face it, there is no way a PC is fixing anything. #fail

Shot Dead in the Head's Banksy Publicity Stunt
2009-01-26 18:48:00 Shot Dead in the Head is a purveyor of mainly English joke shirts, poking fun at pop culture and the sort of folks who pass as celebrities over there (I'm somewhat kidding. Somewhat). So you can imagine that they're probably having a bit of a hard time competing in such a crowded market, where sites like Snorg and Busted sell similar products at lower prices.And so they've decided to print some of Banksy's iconic work on t-shirts and sell them. It's really a brilliant plan in some ways. They've recognized that anything involved with Banksy is sure to bring publicity. And since his work isn't sold, there's a huge market for it. Best of all, since he is a mysterious figure, he's incredibly unlikely to sue for his share of the merchandise profits.To me, therein lies the problem. It's incredibly unfair to the artist to sell his work without his permission. And Shot Dead in the Head has decided on their own what the royalties are, rather than entering into negotiation to determ...

Stunt Riders give Cops Headaches
2008-06-04 15:00:00 Sgt. John Lago is cruising the Hollywood Freeway when his radio carries the call of another California Highway Patrol officer who has tried to pull over a motorcyclist, only to see him race off at high speed. Both troopers give chase, skillfully picking their way through 10 p.m. weeknight traffic at 120 mph. They radio for a helicopter backup, but the aircraft is too far away. In only minutes, tonight's outcome is clear: The rider of the agile, 600cc Honda sportbike has outrun them. "Bummer," Lago says. "I hate it when we lose a chase because you know the guy's going (to go) on MySpace and brag he outran the cops. It's just going to encourage more knuckleheads." While the CHP officers often apprehend their targets, tonight's disappointment is all too common for this team. In squad cars and on powerful BMW motorcycles of their own, these officers go after what they regard as a growing problem on the nation's highways — riders of hi...

2008-05-09 20:01:00 Female power is in. Deepika Padukone is busy matching Akshay Kumar’s kicks and somersaults in Bangkok for Nikhil Advani’s Chandni Chowk To China. Nearer home in Hyderabad, Jiah Khan matched stunt strides with Aamir Khan.Though thankfully, she hasn’t had any mishaps yet. Jiah’s lithe stunts in Murugadoss’ Ghajini are every bit as heart-in-the-mouth as Aamir Khan’s. The only reason Jiah’s action scenes aren’t being talked-about are because she isn’t talking about it. ?I can’t! I’m not allowed to,? she quakes with contractual terror. ?But yes, I’ve done a lot of action scenes in Ghajini. They’ve been extremely unnerving.?The action sequences require Jiah to match Aamir kick for kick. ?And they are one reason I had to lose so weight,? she admits, having returned from Hyderabad where the Ghajini shooting was wrapped up earlier this week. ?The schedules don’t suffer because of Aamir’s accident at all...
