The Home Depot in Union City, New Jersey will be host to the lovable antics of Mr. Jingles.
Mr. Jingles will give your kids keys and one of those keys will be MAGIC and will actually open his treasure chest. Mr. Jingles may or may not step away from the treasure chest so that his crotch is right there. And it turns out that if your kid does open the treasure chest with the MAGIC key, there's nothing inside except for a couple of coupons for $5 off any regular size Pizza at Pizza Hut and an old pamphlet about warts.
Here are some other things that you probably didn't know about Mr. Jingles:
• He's one of the most popular artists on Datpiff.com.
• Despite the government's best efforts, there is absolutely no record of Mr. Jingles from years 1993-1998.
• The nickname "Mr. Jingles" was given to him by Marlon Brando. True story.
• Mr. Jingles is related to Fred Durst, but neither will admit it.
• Never bring anything with velour into Mr. Jingles' house. He goes totally apeshit.
• Mr. Jingles was kicked out of Santa's workshop when he tried to fondle a female elf's genitals.
• Whenever it's close to 5pm, Mr. Jingles starts packing up for home. No use asking him for anything then.
• He still owns a Dreamcast, which when you think about it, is pretty damn cool.
• One year Mr. Jingles had bangs in his hair. Holy ass, he looked stupid.
• If you closely at the advertisement, you can tell who is in the Mr. Jingles suit:

Ayer, 29 de noviembre, el vocalista Ryan McCombs ha anunciado que abandona Drowning Pool. McCombs había llegado a la banda de metal alternativo en el año 2005, sustituyendo a Jason Jones que sólo había estado escasos 2 años en el grupo. Ryan fue el 3º cantante de la banda tras el mencionado Jones y el tristemente fallecido Dave Williams, que murió por problemas cardíacos a los 30 años. Actualmente Drowning Pool está preparando material para su 5º disco de estudio y buscará lo antes posible un sustituto a McCombs, que al parecer quiere volver a su antigua banda Soil.

HOW MUCH TIME WILL MURRAY ACTUALLY SERVE?: Although the judge gave CONRAD MURRAY the maximum time he could, let's not forget this is Los Angeles County, wich we've learned from LINDSAY LOHAN'S many run-ins with the law, is infamous for its reduced-sentence policy due to prison overcrowding.

Ten years ago today on 29 November 2001 George Harrison, of The Beatles and The Travelling Wilburys, died. It is a significant day in my life, not simply because George was a Beatle, but because after John Lennon he was my second favourite Beatle. Many of my favourite Beatles songs were written by George Harrison: "Think for Yourself," "Taxman," "I Want to tell You," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "I, Me, Mine," and many others. What is more, I had somewhat of a connection with George Harrison that I never had with the other Beatles, not even John Lennon. George's sister Louise Harrison lived for many years in Benton, Illinois, a suburb of St. Louis, Missouri. George Harrison was the only Beatle to have been to the United States before the group's historic appearance on The Ed Sullivan Show. He visited his sister in Benton, having flown in from England to Lambert Field in St. Louis. Unlike the other Beatles, then, George had a link to the Missouri/Illinois border area. It's even feasible some of my relatives might have met him, not knowing they were meeting someone who would one day be part of the greatest rock band of all time.
Because George Harrison had been a significant part of my life and because I had something of a personal connection to him, however small, I can remember very well the day he died. Indeed, George Harrison was the first rock star from one of my favourite bands whose death I learned from the internet. I read the news of his passing in Yahoo News. And while I had known that he had cancer for years and I know the prognosis for him was not good, the tears still began. They would last, on and off, for a few days. I remember listening to George's songs (both with The Beatles and on his own) over and over. And I remember the local television stations talked to Louise Harrison about her younger brother and his legacy.
George Harrison was born on 25 Feburary 1943 in Liverpool in the district known as Wavertree. He was twelve years old when he became interested in music. He had been riding his bicycle down the street when he heard "Heartbreak Hotel" by Elvis Presley playing in a nearby house. From that moment on George devoted his life to music. In fact, it was while at Liverpool Institute that with his older brother Peter and his friend Arthur Kelly (later an actor who appeared in Bergerac and The Bill) that George founded a skiffle band called The Rebels. It was also at Liverpool Institute that George would meet someone who would change his life forever, a fellow rock 'n' roll aficionado. His name was Paul McCartney.
Of course, Paul McCartney was a member of the skiffle band known as The Quarry Men, founded by John Lennon. Beyond the fact that Paul introduced George to John and the other Quarry Men, the exact circumstances and even the date of that first encounter are not clear. From Paul McCartney to John's friend Pete Shotton to George himself, accounts of that first meeting tend to vary Regardless, while John and the other Quarry Men considered George to be too young to join the band, they did permit him to tag along with them. In 1958, at the age of 15, George Harrison, the kid with a gift for playing guitar, officially became one of The Quarry Men, replacing Eric Griffiths as lead guitarist. George would leave school at 15 and would work as an apprentice electrician at local department store Blacklers for a short time.
In the meantime The Quarry Men, the band of which George Harrison was lead guitarist, would evolve into The Beatles. It was on 5 May 1960 that the band once known as The Quarry Men would become The Silver Beatles. On 18 August of that same year, they became The Beatles. It was when The Beatles were offered a job playing in Hamburg, Germany, 17 year old George Harrison would accompany them. In Germany The Beatles would receive musical training like no other, playing show after show, night after night. When they returned to Liverpool they were very well trained musicians. Once one of several bands in Liverpool, The Beatles soon became one of the top Merseyside bands. Eventually The Beatles were signed to EMI. They released their first single, "Love Me Do," in October 1962. It proved a moderate success. Their next single, "Please Please Me," also proved to be a moderate hit. Their next single, "From Me to You," would do even better, but ti was their fourth single which would establish The Beatles as the most successful band in the United Kingdom. "She Loves You" became the fastest selling single in the history of the UK charts and the biggest song ever in the UK for years.
While The Beatles' earliest hits were written by John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney, George Harrison's skilled guitar work was responsible for much of their success. And while John and Paul would write many of the band's early singles, George Harrison was also a composer. In fact, his first song, "Don't Bother Me," appeared on The Beatles' second album, With The Beatles. Sadly, John and Paul would generally restrict George anywhere from one to three songs per album. Despite this George proved a very skilful composer, writing some of The Beatles' best remembered songs. It was while The Beatles were still together that George Harrison would launch his solo career, with the soundtrack to the movie Wonderwall, Wonderwall Music, in 1968. After The Beatles broke up he would have a fairly successful solo career and would also play with the supergroup The Travelling Wilburys (in addition to Harrison, the members were Bob Dylan, Jeff Lynne, Roy Orbison, and Tom Petty).
Sadly, I have always thought that George was under appreciated as both a composer and a Beatle. In most rock bands the lead guitarist is the undisputed star, the equivalent of a quarterback on a football team or the handsome leading man in a movie. In a band that featured not one, but two impressive and often vocal composers (John Lennon and Paul McCartney), it was all too easy for the more quiet and reserved George Harrison to be overlooked. Indeed, while Beatles fans are all too aware of George's contributions to the band, as lead guitarist, as a composer, and, well, as George, the general public has always seemed to treat him as just The Beatles' lead guitarist. Like many Beatles fans and George Harrison fans, this strikes me as wrong, and for several reasons.
First and foremost, in my humble opinion George Harrison was nearly the equal, if not the equal of John Lennon and Sir Paul McCartney as a composer. Indeed, he wrote some of The Beatles' best known songs, songs that are every bit as good as anything composed by John Lennon and Paul McCartney: "Taxman," ""If I Needed Someone," "Love You To," "Only a Northern Song," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps," "Here Comes the Sun," "I, Me, Mine," and many others. No less than Frank Sinatra himself referred to "Something" as the "...greatest love song ever written." Indeed, in many ways I think George may have been a better composer than Sir Pal McCartney over all. Granted, Paul's best songs tended to be better than George's best songs with but a few exceptions ("Taxman," "While My Guitar Gently Weeps"), but then George's worst songs ("Within You, Without You") were fare superior than Paul's worst songs ("Ob-La-Di, Ob-La-Da," "Silly Love Songs"). With the exception of a few songs George may have never reached the dizzying heights of "Eleanor Rigby" or "Yesterday," but then he never reached the low points that Paul did with "Mother Nature's Son" or "Wild Honey Pie." While John and Paul are deservedly lauded as composers, then, it seems to me that George Harrison should be as well.
Indeed, it seems to me that not only did George make considerable contributions as a composer to The Beatles, but he may have also had the best solo career of any of The Beatles except John Lennon. All Things Must Pass may have been the single best solo album released by any Beatle after the break up of the band. As a solo artist George wrote and recorded a number of songs that are memorable to this day: "Isn't It a Pity," "Give Me Love (Give Me Peace on Earth)," "Crackerbox Palace," "Not Guilty," All Those Years Ago," and many others. As a solo artist George Harrison wrote songs and recorded albums that were consistently good and in some instances even better than those he had recorded with The Beatles.
Not only do I think George has always been underestimated as a composer, but I also think his contributions to The Beatles have been not been recognised by the general public as well. Indeed, George Harrison's contributions went far beyond that of most lead guitarists to their respective bands. It was George Harrison who first proposed that The Beatles stop performing live concerts. Ever the musician, George felt that the screaming crowds at their concerts made playing well nearly impossible. Of course, it is generally believed that in abandoning live concerts The Beatles were able to concentrate on recording, not only making advancements in recording techniques but allowing them to make even more sophisticated songs.
Indeed, George would have an even more direct impact on The Beatles' recordings. Ever on the look out for new and more sophisticated means of recording, it was George Harrison who introduced The Beatles to such new innovations as the Moog synthesiser. It was through his fascination with Indian culture that George Harrison discovered a sitar, an instrument that found its way into such Beatles songs as "Norwegian Wood."
As much as I admire George Harrison (and the rest of The Beatles, for that matter), I realise all too well that he was not perfect. George was known to have a very severe temper. His temper was so great that early in The Beatles' career he was known to get into fights with photographers and even police officers. George Harrison could be a perfectionist when it came to his music, testing the patience of even his producers. He was not always the most faithful husband, at times cheating on first wife Patti Boyd and second wife Olivia Harrison. George Harrison was also sued for copyright infringement because of similarities between his song "My Sweet Lord" and The Chiffons' song "He's So Fine." A United States district court would rule that George did not deliberately commit plagiarism, but instead he subconsciously did so without realising it. Given George's personality, I tend to believe that he was indeed a victim of cryptomnesia and did not initially realise that he was copying "He's So Fine." That having been said, one would think that given how often "He's So Fine" was probably played in 1969 (and still is) sooner or later he would have heard the song and then changed "My Sweet Lord" so the two were not so similar.
While George Harrison had more than his fair share of flaws, he remains a man I admire and one whose life had a very large impact on my own. As I said, after John Lennon, George Harrison was my favourite Beatle. Known as "the Quiet Beatle" and even referred to as "the Great Stone Face" by Ringo Starr, George taught me that there could be strength in silence. That is, one could sometimes accomplish more by saying little and remaining reserved than by making a verbal commotion of things. George Harrison proved that the English stereotype of "maintaining a stiff upper lip" can actually be a strength.
And while I would never follow George Harrison into Hinduism (my religious views are rather more Western in outlook), I cannot deny that his spirituality had an impact on me. George proved that one could be a deeply spiritual individual without forcing one's choice of religion down other's throats. Like so much in his life, George's religious views were a quiet, reserved affair. Everyone knew his religious beliefs, everyone knew he was a deeply spiritual individual, and yet one never felt that he was flaunted his religion. Indeed, in many ways George felt like a much more spiritual, more more religious person because of that.
George Harrison also taught me a good deal about approaching one's own death. Like George, my father had died of lung cancer, so I knew something of what George was going through. Throughout George's illness, however, I never remember reading in the news that he complained about having developed cancer, wallowed in self pity, or blamed others. Even to the very end he faced death with dignity and even cheerfulness. Indeed, George even took responsibility for his own death. I remember reading an interview with him not long before his death in which he pointed out that developing cancer was his own fault. If he had never taken up smoking or had given it up long ago, he would most likely have never developed lung cancer.
More than anything else, however, George Harrison taught me to treat other people with respect. George viewed all of us as unique and special, and yet at the same time irrevocably connected to each other. It was a thought that often surfaced in his songs. As much as I dislike "Within You, Without You," I must admit hat its lyrics carry an important message. Essentially it is up to us to make a difference, and that difference is to treat others with the love and respect with which we ourselves would like to be treated. George Harrison's final words were “Love one another.” Those three simple words summed up what he had been saying since the days of The Beatles. If I am even half the man I should be, if I am better than that what I could have been, it is in a large part due to George Harrison.
It is then that I will spend today listening to George Harrison's songs. It is also the reason that I will shed not a few tears today. George Harrison had an impact on me more than most musicians in history, more than most artists in history. In fact, it is possible that only John Lennon had more of an influence on me. To a large degree, then, I owe George Harrison for almost everything I am and everything I ever will be.
What's interesting about Pathmark- when I recently went to take a poop there (don't ask), I passed by their sorting system for lost items:
I was amazed and impressed that they actually do take the time to re-organize and reshelve the many, many lost items that end up in the store, although I imagine it's a losing battle.
But for all their efforts and organization, it makes me nauseous to think that some meat, produce, or freshly baked bread has been close to where people poop.
La discográfica Roadrunner Records ha publicado un vídeo en el que podemos ver como será el nuevo disco de KoRn. The Path of Totality sale a la venta este próximo 6 de diciembre y muchos seguidores estaban ansiosos por ver el camino que tomaría la banda de Bakersfield para este álbum. Como ya he comentado en publicaciones anteriores me parece un intento desesperado por dar un aire nuevo a su carrera, que estaba cayendo en picado desde la marcha de Brian "Head" Welch y se cayó definitivamente cuando un año más tarde, David Silveria también dejaba el grupo. Aquí os queda este vídeo con un resumen de lo que será The Path of Totality. Mi opinión la daré una vez escuche el trabajo completo:
ARE KRIS AND BRUCE JENNER HEADED FOR DIVORCE!!!???: Let me preface this item by saying it comes courtesy of the wonderful journalistic purists at the "National Enquirer", so we'll file it under "Could Be True Could Be Crap" ...
According to the tab, BRUCE and KRIS JENNER have supposedly been fighting about everything from money to how to raise the kids lately, and may be headed for divorce!!!
Sources say Bruce is tired of Kris putting work ahead of their relationship, and has "started standing up for himself, [insisting] Kris cut back on her work." Kris, on the other hand, can't stand how much money Bruce spends on hobbies like motorcycle racing and golf so she's put him on an allowance!!! Adds the source, "As a result, he and Kris are at a crisis point in their marriage."
The source adds that Bruce blames the reality show for their marital problems and, quote, "wants a life away from the TV craziness."
KOURTNEY AND KIM TAKE THE RATINGS: So much for that online campaign to boycott the Kardashians. Sunday's premiere of "Kourtney and Kim Take New York", which featured the early troubles in Kim's ill-fated marriage, drew 3.2 million viewers.
In case you missed the season premiere ... it was made pretty apparent Kim and KRIS HUMPHRIES were headed for splitsville. During the episode, Kris angered his wife by mocking her weight, ruining her pedicure and farting in Kourtney's face.
But the most explosive moment -- pun intended -- came when Kourtney organized a naked yoga session, in which the girls stayed clothed, but the male instructor walked around in the buff. And trust me, his "dog" wasn't the only thing facing downward.
"That is disgusting – this is my home – this is disrespectful," said Kris as he walked in on the class. Kim then screamed "You are so immature -- I can't take it!," to which Kris replied, "You can't take it? I can't take it ... I felt uncomfortable when I came in. I nearly threw up!"
After the argument, Kris decided he needed to return to Minnesota in order to concentrate on his training. "I am sad, but Kris is really supportive of my career, and if Minnesota is the best place for him to work out, then that's what he should do," said Kim in an off-camera interview.
IN DENIAL - KATE GOSSELIN: So did KATE GOSSELIN get a facelift? Not according to the mother of eight, who writes on her blog, "I will confirm that I have not had one. I am only 36! But I will take all of the talk about how rested and young I look as a compliment! So thanks!"
L to R: Kate 2011, Kate 2010
She then goes on to insist that it's her worry-free life consisting of neglecting her children that keeps her looking young.I keed, I keed! Despite Kate's denial, a plastic surgeon told Us Weekly that based on recent photos, Gosselin's defined jaw line and changed eye shape "suggest a facelift."
DEMI MOORE STILL @MRSKUTHCER: Despite her and ASHTON KUTCHER’S separation, as far as Twitter is concerned, DEMI MOORE is still Mrs. Kutcher. And it looks like it's going to stay that way for a little while longer.
A source close to Demi says that changing the name is, quote, "not a priority at the moment." Neither, it seem, is tweeting. Demi has Tweeted only twice since Thanksgiving.
Meanwhile … Demi and BRUCE WILLIS’ youngest daughter Tallulah became a debutante over the weekend, but did so without her mom present. Tallulah was introduced at Le Bal des Debutantes in Paris' Hotel Crillon Saturday, becoming an official member of high society.
Her dad and the 17-year-old's sisters Rumer and Scout were on hand for the event, but Moore did not attend.
RIHANNA FLOODS HOTEL ROOM: Rock stars are known to destroy a hotel room or two while on tour, mostly while partying the night away. But not RIHANNA. She damaged a hotel room last week because of absent mindedness.
RiRi reportedly left a bathtub running before leaving the $3,100 a night room at The Savoy in London, which consequently left the room flooded. According to The Daily Mail a source told People Magazine, "They all left the room and when they came back the carpets were wet through. There was no lasting damage but it took a while to dry out."
The source added, "People at the hotel were joking that those in the floor below would need umbrellas."
BABY POOP - MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL IS PREGNANT, FERGIE IS NOT: MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL and her live-in lovah PETER SARSGAARD are expecting their second child. There's no word on the sex or due date.
There is no truth to the rumor, however, that FERGIE and JOSH DUHAMEL are expecting their first child. Her rep says, quote, "Yes, a baby is in the plans at some point, but there's no specific plans or date or anything like that."
TAYLOR SWIFT SHOWS US HER PICS: Now that TAYLOR SWIFT is done touring she’s spending her days getting into the Christmas spirit. In the past week she's Tweeted photos of herself baking …
