Count Floyd Terrified by Katy Perry in 3-D
Ahahahahaha! Yes, to think they laughed at me in Budapest. They laughed at me in Prague. But now, they won't laugh at me anymore. When my Katy Perry movie is released, I'll make bundles of money.... MONEY... MONEYYYYY!!! http://sandiegoreader.com/users/photos/2012/may/1…— May 18, 2012 9:03 p.m.

Meet Sacha Baron Cohen's Bus at SDSU!
Throughout 1979, those of us who lived in the Chicagoland area were treated to the filming of the circus known as "The Blues Brothers". Almost every other night, a local TV station showed the lastest stunt filmed downtown with cop cars and property damage. My brother drove me one summer night to the Dixie Square Mall and we watched the Bluesmobile twice drive through JCPenney's window as they filmed it. Upon its release in June, 1980, the River Oaks theaters in suburban Calumet City (home of the Blues Brothers) went all out. They acquired a demolished cop car and prominently displayed it outside of its theater. Yeah, people gathered around this junked car and stared at it for hours on end.— April 30, 2012 9:30 p.m.
