Free beer?!
Free beer. That grabs people's attention. And Anheuser-Busch hopes that free beer — plus a massive advertising push — will grab some new drinkers for its sagging flagship brand Budweiser.The brewer announced Wednesday plans for a "national happy hour" on Sept. 29 to distribute free samples of Budweiser at bars and restaurants. Details of the availability of the free beer — 6 to 12 ounce samples, depending on local and state rules — were still being hammered out.
A-B also will launch a new Budweiser ad campaign with the slogan, "Grab some Buds." Beginning Saturday and continuing through Oct. 3, 90 percent of A-B's advertising will focus on Budweiser, more than doubling the brand's typical exposure and making Budweiser hard to miss.
The goal is to revive a brand that saw its U.S. market share peak in 1988, at 26 percent. By last year, it had declined to 9.3 percent.

Google can make an entire city disappear!
It's home to 90,000 people, one of the nation's biggest malls, a National Hockey League team and, the city's mayor boasts, the first IKEA store in the state.But, for at least a month this summer, Google's computers "lost" Sunrise, Florida.
People who searched Google Maps for the city were directed instead to Sarasota, Florida -- a place that, while an alphabetical cousin of Sunrise, is actually 200 miles away. No Sunrise business or addresses or phone numbers showed up. Even city hall and other public entities were strangely absent, according to reports on news sites, blogs and Google help forums.
Google says it has since fixed the "technical error," and if you searched Google Maps for Sunrise on Wednesday, you would find a healthy grid of streets, malls and parks on the far outskirts of Fort Lauderdale, where it's supposed to be.
But this week's fix didn't come until after public outcry.

This is WAY more fun than dealing with the DMV
It's in black and white on many DMV manuals in circulation.But when you dial the New York State Department of Motor Vehicles number, it's immediately clear you've called a sex hotline.
News 12 in Long Island reported the problem last month, and DMV said the toll-free number used to be legit but was eliminated 18 months ago.
DMV spokesperson Ken Brown tells CBS 6 reporter Steve Flamisch the agency decided to save money by cancelling the 800-number services. For the ensuing year, callers to the number heard a referral message.
But at the end of that one-year-period, the phone carrier "reassigned the number to these individuals" -- the phone sex company.

Watch out for the caffeine crazies!
Could consuming too much caffeine make someone crazy enough to commit murder?Lawyers for Woody Will Smith, whose murder trial in Newport, Ky., starts today, plan to argue that the 33-year-old defendant had ingested excessive caffeine before he allegedly strangled his wife and so was temporarily insane, according to The Associated Press.
Shannon Sexton, the defense attorney, plans to state that Smith was not even able to form the intent of committing a murder, although prosecutor Michelle Snodgrass will say that Smith tested negative for substances containing amphetamines after the killing.
Smith is charged with killing his wife, 28-year-old Amanda Hornsby-Smith, in May 2009, by strangling her with an extension cord.

This story is pure, concentrated Florida
What kind of a guy goes into Walmart, takes a Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue from the magazine rack, heads to the store’s toy section, and proceeds to masturbate to completion in the aisle?Meet William Tyler Black.
The 28-year-old Floridian, a substitute teacher, was arrested yesterday afternoon by Sarasota cops on battery and exposure of sexual organs charges, according to a probable cause affidavit.
A store employee told cops that Black “ejaculated onto the floor and wiped his hand on a toy along with rubbing his foot in the suspected semen on the floor.” Employees reported that Black “discarded the magazine behind some toys and proceeded to the front of the store.”

Maybe those smaller planets will stop orbiting her now
The world has come to know her well. Sheyla Hershey is known for her striking smile and her large M cup breast implants. She has tried to save them for the past three months, but that fight has come to an end. Hershey had to have her implants removed, along with most of her own breast tissue. Hershey tells FOX 26 News her surgeon realized in surgery that most of her tissue was too damaged to save. She says her surgeon tried to save just enough tissue to attempt reconstructive surgery within three or four months.
Hershey has been suffering from severe infections after trying to achieve fame for having the largest breasts in the world. She underwent surgery in Richmond, Texas to have them removed; she has been running a high fever and cannot seem to fight off infections.

New rule: If you're famous, don't twitter
Paris Hilton was just outed…by herself! When she was detained by police for carrying cocaine in her purse, Paris claimed it wasn’t hers.But a Twitpic posted by the heiress herself has exposed her for a liar. She tweeted a photo of the gorgeous Chanel purse on July 15, and it’s the exact one she was carrying the night of the arrest. "Love My New Chanel Purse I Got Today :)" she tweeted that day.
This pretty much screws her defense, since she told the cops that the purse wasn’t hers and claimed that she’d borrowed it from a friend because it matched her outfit.

The chimney story we talked about this morning
A Bakersfield doctor whose decomposing body was found Saturday in the chimney of her estranged boyfriend’s house died accidentally from being unable to breathe, the coroner’s staff reported Tuesday. Other new developments in the death of Dr. Jacquelyn Kotarac — who on the night of Wednesday, Aug. 25, went down the chimney to try to get into the house — include that she had an airplane ticket to go to Amsterdam on Friday with the boyfriend, and she arranged earlier on Wednesday night to have a service drive her home from Cafe Med where she had been drinking, police Sgt. Mary DeGeare confirmed.
The chimney was too narrow for a person to get all the way down, police said.
The boyfriend, identified by neighbors and property records as 58-year-old William H. Moodie, the owner of a petroleum engineering company, not only reported Kotarac missing Thursday but also slept in his house Thursday night as Kotarac was stuck, apparently dead in his chimney, DeGeare said. He was never considered a suspect in the case, the sergeant said.

The producer of Deadliest Catch is pissed at the Emmys
Producer Thom Beers blasted the way the Emmys have grouped his shows with one-off docs and limited series, such as the PBS Ken Burns series ‘The National Parks: America’s Best Idea,’ which won an Emmy a week earlier (in the non-televised Creative Arts Emmys) for Best Non-fiction Series. ‘Deadliest Catch‘ was also nominated in that category, along with ‘The American Experience‘ (PBS), ‘American Masters‘ (PBS), ‘Life‘ (Discovery) and ‘Monty Python: Almost the Truth (the Lawyer’s Cut)‘ on IFC.“Once again, I lost to a PBS series!” Beers said. “I don’t know what the hell my show is even doing in a category that basically every year is a PBS category. [The academy doesn’t] recognize ['Deadliest Catch'] as a documentary but they put it in that category. To lose to Ken Burns’ ‘Parks’ was an abomination. That was the most boring show Ken Burns ever made and when I think that my show should lose to the most boring, the dullest show Ken Burns has ever made, it’s an abomination.”

What happens in Vegas stays... on Twitter?
MGM Resorts International was under investigation after the underage son of basketball great Michael Jordan bragged on Twitter about partying at a Las Vegas Strip nightclub, Nevada gambling regulators said Monday.Officials were examining whether the casino operator violated laws prohibiting drinking or gambling by minors, Nevada Gaming Control Board enforcement chief Jerry Markling said.
People under 21 often try to gamble or drink in Las Vegas, but punishment for casino operators depend on the circumstances, Markling said.
Jordan's 19-year-old son Marcus Jordan tweeted Aug. 20 about spending $35,000 at Haze at Aria Resort & Casino.
"Last night was stupid... 35K at Haze," the University of Central Florida sophomore guard said. "Totals 50K something the whole day."
The tweet has since been removed from the site.
Jordan told a Fox Sports website last week that the tweet was a mistake and said he had conversations with both his parents about it.
