Don’t mess with a Mariah Carey fan! They will cut you.

A Naples Florida guy and his alleged girlfriend were listening to the music by the star of Glitter when another car pulled up alongside at an intersection and shouted the fan a derogatory name for grooving to her music.

You can probably guess what was said that quickly turned this cat-fight into a mile-and-a-half shouting match, ending with the Mariah Carey fan throwing a beer bottle back at the non-Mariah loving car, hitting the driver in the head.

Some people will go to any lengths to defend their diva and avoid being called gay.

On today’s show blogger Michael Lehet joins us to talk about the Swiss Man who may have spit himself into running for a Darwin Award, flying Russian penises and how to become a do-it-yourself oil tycoon.

First there was the Asian Tsunami, then Hurricane Katrina and now there’s the cyclone in Myanmar and the earthquake in China. As the stories and numbers of all these global disasters pile up, Americans seem to mentally give up and turn away from donating to these international causes.

Charities call it donor fatigue, but Lisa Tolin, an AP writer calls it “Disaster Fatigue” the psychological condition that people exhibit when the problem seems insurmountable, they give up.

“The more bad news there is, the less likely people may be to give.”

So while people are literally starving around the world, decadent New York city restaurants are drumming up publicity desperately by offering a $175 burger, garnished with truffles and gold leaf. Mmmm gold.

You see this dumb stunt being done from time to time. Some business offers an everyday item at an exhorbitant price, and they throw in rare, expensive and unecessary items just for the shock value.

Not to be left out of the loop, we’re offering our very own diamond covered Feast of Fools t-shirt (made with cruelty-free, vegan diamonds) for the low low price of 7.7 million dollars. Cheap!
