I think this kid is just trying to be funny, but you never know with these spelling bee types. BTW, if he was trying to be funny, it worked. This has to be the second greatest spelling bee video of all time...the first is right below it.

You really wanna know more about me? Get the full scoop by adding me as a Facebook friend...or just email and ask. I don't have many secrets. For now, here are 6 things you should know about me...
1. I was born and raised in Buffalo, NY...a town with a football and hockey problem. I have tremendously strong back muscles from shoveling snow since I was four. I think chicken wings are a food group.
2. I went to college at Syracuse University in upstate NY. I majored in broadcast news and will be paying off loans until I'm in my mid-70's.
3. At one point, I lived or worked in 7 different cities in 10 years. I've been around, and Northwest Arkansas is a pretty good place to live.
4. I love what I do. It's not even work to me...the chance to make you smile when you wake up or drive to work in the morning is a blessing, and I'm honored you give me a chance to do it everyday. I can't think of a better way to make a living. And remember, if you don't listen, I don't eat.
5. Previous jobs: stocking shelves in a grocery store, drawing triptiks at the AAA, driving a forklift in a food warehouse and yes, I was a campus cop in college. Now you know why I like radio so much.
6. I'm easy to talk to, but if you see me around town I look mean. Serial-killer mean. Like I might punch the first person that gets close enough to me. That's just the way I look, though...say hi anyway. I promise I won't growl at you...

You know, you can actually find a lot of the anticipated commercials on YouTube before the game on Sunday...and some of them even have extended versions, like this one for Acura featuring Jerry Seinfeld and Jay Leno:
Next time your boss wants you to work a few extra hours, print this out and hand it to him/her...according to a new study, working overtime could double your risk of depression. It's common sense that having mental troubles can lead to problems at work -- but researchers found that the reverse is also true, that working too much can cause mental troubles. The scientists found a big time connection between overtime work hours and major depression. People who worked 11 or more hours a day were twice as likely to be depressed compared to those who limited their time at work to seven or eight hours a day.

A new website has been launched to help jilted lovers cash in on all the junk from their busted relationships.
The site's creator, Annabel Acton, was inspired by her own miserable break-up with her boyfriend five days before Christmas. Instead of locking herself in her apartment and crying her eyes out, she created NeverLikedItAnyway.com -- and is turning lemons into lemonade. Women who've broken up with their guys are going to the site to sell off their jewelry and other gifts -- and many say they're enjoying revenge by selling expensive stuff at a discount.

And here's more proof that some people just like to complain...
Lego toys have always been for both girls and boys -- but boys, in general, seem to enjoy them more. This is why, in the past, many of the Lego sets have had strong male themes. Lots of action stuff, vehicles and monsters. In an attempt to get more girls involved, the company rolled out a new Lego collection aimed at girls called Lego Friends -- and some health and equal-rights activists are freaking out.
What's the problem?
Well, the new line features girl characters with slim figures and stylish clothes. Is that it? Yes. That's it.
Critics of the new toys say the Legos promote body dissatisfaction and send a message to girls that says "being pretty is more important than who you are or what you can do."
They've even gone so far as to start online petitions to protest the toy line. So, if you want to get your hands on a Lego Butterfly Beauty Shop or a Lego Fashion Designer Workshop, you better act before the Lego company buckles from the pressure and pulls the toys off the shelf.
