Welcome to Something for Nothing

I have some breaking news for all of you wonderful PayPerPost peeps out there. Ted got out of bed REALLY Early!!

What a guy? He goes to New York City and parties late into the night just to wake up early (ok, so I made up the partying all night). In what’s an absolute classic moment, the video captures Ted waiting for the girls, which shall from now on be known as Ted’s Girls, for what seems like about half an hour to me. How perfect is that? You wake up at some outrageous hour just to wait for the girls to do their hair (or something important like that).

Yes, Ted sacrificed like this in order to get PayPerPost on the Today show. Talk about Guerilla Marketing. I actually think that it is a great idea. Although, I’m not sure it’s the right idea for PayPerPost. The line seemed to be full of OLD people that probably wouldn’t know a blog from a frog.

If they have an opportunity come up about the Today Show then I’ll know it was a success.

Here’s the video for your viewing pleasure:

It looks like Cowboys crazy receiver Terrell Owens has created a new way to get attention. He’s reportedly tried to overdose on prescription pain medications in a suicide attempt.

Here’s what ESPN reported about it:

Flamboyant Dallas Cowboys receiver Terrell Owens attempted suicide by overdosing on prescription pain medication Tuesday, even putting two more pills into his mouth after a friend intervened, according to an internal police report obtained by The Associated Press.

Owens left the hospital late Wednesday morning, giving reporters a “thumbs up” but making no comment as he was driven away in an SUV.

Publicist Kim Etheridge said in various interviews Wednesday with Dallas-area media that the police have gotten the story wrong. She said she was with Owens, who was having trouble because he’d mixed his pain pills with supplements. She said she called for help because he was becoming unresponsive.

Fox sports offered pretty much the same info on TO, but I found this part interesting:

“This is a high-profile person. We looked into it and we determined it is not a criminal offense,” Watson said. “This a medical type of situation that occurred.”

Watson and fire department spokesman Joel Lavender cited privacy laws for the lack of information they could provide. Lavender said more details could come from the 911 call. The Associated Press filed a request under the Freedom of Information Act to get the contents of the call.

“Let’s just look at the tape, review the tape,” Lavender said. “I’ll give you an honest answer once I know something.”

At the police news conference, Watson released a version of the police narrative with certain sections blacked out. The full report was obtained by several news outlets and reported first by WFAA. The AP received the full version from WFAA.

The friend, who is not identified in the report, “noticed that (his) prescription pain medication was empty and observed (Owens) putting two pills in his mouth,” the police report said. The friend attempted to pry them out with her fingers, then was told by Owens that before this incident he’d taken only five of the 40 pain pills in the bottle he’d emptied.

According to the police report, Dallas Fire and Rescue was called regarding someone “attempting suicide by prescription pain medication.” Officers arrived to find Owens being stabilized by ambulance workers, who then took him to Baylor University Medical Center.

From the ESPN report on Terrell Owens it looks like he’s back to his old self:

Owens was seen laughing and joking on the practice field Tuesday morning. He chatted briefly with reporters in the locker room in the afternoon and seemed fine. A 2-inch scar on the top of his hand was puffy but not wrapped, and he said the swelling was doing down.

While in the locker room, he took a pill from a white paper bag and looked at another medicine bottle that was in the bag. He also called a business partner about a towel-wrap venture they’re starting and joked to TV cameras that he wasn’t talking until Wednesday and it was only Tuesday.

“My little boy knows better than that,” he said, laughing, as he plopped onto a sofa in the middle of the locker room.

Looks like the Cowboys are really glad they brought TO into the organization. I guess TO prescribes to the any media is good media. Even if it means you have to attempt suicide.
