Coca-Cola’s Secret Recipe Revealed

But, even with the above info it's actually impossible to fully replicate Coke's recipe because there's one ingredient only Coca-Cola can get: fluid extract of coca (which is coca leaves stripped of cocaine). Only one factory can process those leaves and only Coca-Cola has a special deal with the DEA that allows them to use it. So even if the secret is out, you're still missing the Coke in your Cola.

Wyclef Stole That Haitian Earthquake Money

So it turns out Wyclef pinched all that cash that was donated to his charity, Yele Haiti. Tut. The below article has been pulled from Byron Crawford via the NY Times.

I can't believe Wyclef Jean stole that Haitian earthquake money. Not.

The whole purpose of these hip-hop fake charities is to (a) decrease your tax liability to the IRS, and (b) funnel the vast majority of the funds donated into your own pockets and into the pockets of your weed carriers, business partners, ne'er do well relatives and what have you. It's the textbook definition of a win-win: You get a shedload of money, Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie get to look like they donated something to charity, and you all get to pay that much less in income tax. Even people in need of actual charity don't lose per se, since it's not like they stood to benefit in the first place.

If Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie really wanted to donate $1 million to the starving children of Haiti, they could just bring it there themselves, in however many of those black, heavy duty Hefty bags that would necessitate. Or they could just drop those bags from an airplane, in a flyover, to reduce the risk of being eaten alive. If they centered the plane directly over one of those filthy, cholera-soaked camps where Sean Penn works (as seen in the first episode of the most recent season of Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations), I can't imagine there would be an issue with the elite, relatively light skinted Haitians somehow getting their hands on the money.

Christmas Gift Ideas

Merry Christmas From The NBA

Shot Santa. There will be a 2011/2012 NBA season, which is good news because I wasn't all that keen on watching the cricket this summer. A shortened 66-game season tips off on Christmas day with a rematch of the finals, which means Lebron, Wade and a fatter bigger Bosh get to watch the host Mavericks lift their championship banner and get presented with their championship rings. Sorry about that.

The Guy Who Makes The Best Shit Movies

Corman's World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel is a tantalizing and star-studded tribute to Roger Corman, Hollywood's most prolific writer-director producer, and seminal influencing force in modern moviemaking over the last 60 years. Featuring interviews with Hollywood icons and cinematic luminaries, some who launched their careers within Corman's unforgettable world of filmmaking, including Paul W.S. Anderson, Peter Bogdanovich, Robert De Niro, Peter Fonda, Pam Grier, Ron Howard, Eli Roth, Martin Scorsese, William Shatner and Jack Nicholson, along with many others, this documentary chronicles how Corman created his cult film empire, one low-budget success at a time, capitalizing on undiscovered talent, and pushing the boundaries of independent filmmaking. Director Alex Stapleton weaves archival footage following Roger's illustrious career: From his early days of genre-defining classics including the original Fast and Furious, the original Little Shop of Horrors, The Crybaby Killer, The Intruder, House of Usher, and The Wild Angels (which at that point in 1966 was his 100th film) - to present day video of him and his wife Julie on location, still at work as they continue to produce and distribute films outside the studio system: fast, cheap and out-of-this-world!

Style Wars Outtakes

Style Wars was originally edited to its 69 minute length from about 30 hours of 16 mm film that we shot in 1981 and 1982. Hours of exciting and wonderful scenes in the extra footage that didn’t make it into the finished film need to be restored. There are many shots of trains and some surprising masterpieces rescued from oblivion.

But this history is threatened. The original footage is damaged and fading. Fortunately, it will be possible to repair using digital technology. It will cost $28,000 to save and restore the outtakes. Saving the best outtakes is an important component of our overall project to restore the entire negative of the film and make an HD master which will preserve the record of the first painted trains in their original vivid colors.

Footage is actually a bit of a let down, but it shows Garrett McNamara breaking the world record for the largest wave ever surfed.
