Celebrities Twitter Pages: Making the World Dumber One Verified Account at a Time

dumbest celebrity tweets of all-timeA long time ago, in a more primitive age, all the way back in the year 2005, the average person still idolized celebrity figures.  We saw them as larger-than-life people who led charmed lives.  We saw them in movies, on ball fields, and in magazines and we dreamed of being them, or at the very least, getting a glimpse of them.

But then in 2006, a new social networking web site was created that changed the way we view people in the public spotlight forever. A web site called Twitter (you may have heard of it) allowed people to share their thoughts in real time to anyone else who cared to read about them.

For us common folk, there aren’t many people who give a shit about what we are thinking.  We create Twitter pages, thinking other people care about what we have to say, but in reality, they could not give a crap.   Yet there are a group of select people whose Twitter pages are bombarded with followers. These people are celebrities. (more…)

A Flowchart for Removing Facebook Friends

With more than 500 million users and growing, Facebook continues to grow at an astounding rate. This has resulted in just about everyone I know being on the world’s most popular social networking site. Whether it’s a high school classmate I never liked, a girl I went on one date with eight years ago, or someone I met briefly once in my life, they are probably already my “friend” on Facebook.

These people that I know little about are clogging up the news feed on my wall with updates I do not care about it. It’s time to do a little housecleaning. Chances are that you may also be dealing with this. So if you’re struggling to figure out which people to remove as a Facebook friend, then you’ve come to the right place.

Here is a flowchart for removing Facebook friends… (more…)

iPad 2 to Make Your Porn Experience Even Better

This feature will be available on the iPad soon

Times have certainly changed.  It wasn’t all that long ago that in order to obtain masturbation material, I either had to watch the Playboy channel scrambled or steal the Frederick’s of Hollywood magazine from my parent’s mail.

I was just a kid then but porn has grown up with me.  Now there is no shortage of easy access to porn.  There are already thousands of free web sites that offer lifetimes of free porn. But now, with the release of the iPad2, there is another unique way to get your kicks. Thanks to Apple’s Facetime feature, adult entertainment companies can now utilize the popular video chat feature so that porn stars can interact face-to-face with their clients.

A decade ago you could always spot the shady guy in the bookstore who was browsing through the adult magazine section.  Now shady looking guys, like the one pictured here, can stop hanging around Barnes and Noble and just use Facetime instead.  We really have come a long way.

New York Daily News has the complete story.

There’s an App for That: Free Condom Finder

I recently switched to the Verizon iPhone and I’m loving it.  I’m addicted to finding new apps.   As part of a potential new series I am trying out, I will highlight a crazy app that can be found on the iPhone…

Picture this situation: You are out at a bar in New York City on a Saturday night.   After some hard work throughout the night, you have successfully located an attractive young woman with daddy issues who is desperately seeking male attention (a.k.a,  a slut).  You bought her a few drinks and cracked a few jokes and she has taken a liking to you.   She has asked you to come back to her place where you undoubtedly will engage in sexual relations.

Naturally, you’re excited for this but you know this girl has probably been around the block.  Before you leave, you reach into your wallet where you usually stash your emergency condom, only to find it is no longer there!   You forgot to replace it from your last escapade.   Looks like you’ll have to make a quick stop at the drug store.

BUT WAIT!

Why spend money on a box of condoms for a broad you will probably never see after tonight?  Wouldn’t you rather get condoms for free?

With the New York City Condom Finder App you can use your iPhone to locate free condoms ANYWHERE in New York City.  The app uses the phones GPS to locate the closest location where condoms are given away throughout the five boroughs. (more…)

BBM is the New Direct Connect

Remember back around 2003 or so when Nextel’s Direct Connect was the hip thing to have in cell phones?  It seemed like you weren’t cool if your phone wasn’t making that obnoxious bleep every five minutes.  There was just something about that walkie-talkie feature that made you feel important.   I got on the bandwagon myself and loved it.

The great thing about Direct Connect was that it made phone calls so informal.  Direct Connect was the easy way to contact someone before texting was.  Prior to direct connect, if you wanted to tell someone something quick, it involved making a phone call and often getting into a longer conversation than you wanted.  But with Direct Connect, you could just tell someone something instantaneously and be done with it—which is probably the reason I liked it so much.  I’m not much of a conversationalist.

It was like your own little fraternity.  You felt like you had a special bond to anyone else who had one.  “Hey you have a Nextel! Me too! What’s your two-way number!?”  I didn’t even have to like the person. I just wanted someone else to two-way. (more…)

More Crazy Google Searches

Every few months I like to take a look at Google Analytics and see what search terms have brought people to my site. With the number of articles I’ve posted constantly going up and my authority with Google increasing, I am seeing more and more crazy Google searches.

I last did this in June, so here are some of the outrageous searches that have brought people to Living with Balls since then. As always, I have not made a single one of these up. I have only fixed misspellings and grammar. I’ve also taken the time to break these down into categories.

Needless to say, a site called “Living with Balls,” that talks about farts, porn and uses multiple synonyms when describing the female anatomy allows for some wild search results.  Brace yourself…

The answer is yes
Do men like when a woman’s tits flop around during sex?

The answer is no
Is it ok to wear a midriff if you have a muffin top? (more…)

Instant Message Etiquette for Men

Instant messaging has become an everyday part of life.  Whether it’s through AIM or a social networking site, millions of people use it everyday as an easy way to stay in touch.

A while back, I gave you some advice on talking to a girl through instant messenger. Now I will give you some guidelines to follow when talking to other men.  There are some unwritten rules that are required to maintain a sense of masculinity when talking to another man on IM.

Failing to follow these rules can result in a man being perceived as a queer—and nobody wants that.  Here are five rules all men must follow when talking online.

Rule #1: Dispense with the Pleasantries

When it comes to starting a conversation over the internet, men should never bother with pleasantries such as “Hi” or “How are you?”  Just get right into the conversation.  Saying hi is for fags.

Here’s the wrong and right way to start an instant message conversation. Fellow contributors Frank Wheeler and Don Valdez will show you a few examples.

Google Sends More Crazy Readers to LWB

Back in February, I wrote a post showing some of the crazy searches that brought readers to Living with Balls. It turned out to be pretty entertaining so I thought I’d do it again—mainly because I haven’t had the time to write a real post.

Since February, I have gained a little more authority in Google searches and thus have found some results that are even crazier than last time.

As a reminder, these are 100% REAL. I have only altered spelling errors. This time around, I’ll be borrowing an idea from my friend Bejewell at The Bean and I will put them into categories. (more…)
