Dad Says Son Is Not A Terrorist, Just A Little Dopey [I f—ed up]
If there’s one thing a father longs for, it’s the ability to tell a reporter that his son is not a terrorist.
A Delta flight from Paris was diverted to Bangor, Maine, according to ABC News, when a passenger named Derek Stansberry “created a disturbance”. Derek is from Apollo, Florida. I don’t know why, but that amuses me. Derek is in FBI custody, according to ABC.
So whom do you call when a 26-year-old does something incredibly stupid, like taking pills before boarding a plane, then passing a note to a flight attendant that says “Forgive me, I f—ed up, I’m sorry,” followed by telling federal air marshals that you have a bomb? Duh. You call his dad.
Stansberry’s father, Richard, told ABC News his son is a former Air Force reservist. The elder Stansberry said he was notified late Tuesday by authorities that his son was involved in the incident.
“He’s not a terrorist,” said the elder Stansberry of his son. “I just found out and I am in total shock,” he said.
According to ABC, the FBI says that Derek Stansberry did not have any explosives on him. They also said Stansberry had lied about having a fake passport.

Strange Candy Ad [Boys Like Boobies]
This strange candy ad for a bar called Stratos proves that… boys like boobies.

As a YouTube commenter puts it, ‘so? what’s the bar supposed to do, give you a boner?’ The tag line is ‘Makes Good Better.’ Maybe strip clubs should start serving chocolate instead of beer.

John Tesh Dated Oprah Until He Realized She Was Black?
Have you heard this one — that John Tesh dated Oprah until he realized she was black?
Apparently that’s what Kitty Kelly’s new unauthorized biography of Miss Winfrey claims. It’s the wording that caught my eye:
[The book] goes on to say Tesh abruptly ended the relationship one night when he noticed their contrasting skin colors and couldn’t handle being in an interracial relationship.
I always thought Tesh was a little weird, but if this is true, he wins the Weirdest Dude Ever award. He did, apparently, confirm that they used to date, but hasn’t commented on the rest of the story, except to say that he and O are still friends. I suppose that makes it less likely that he one day turned to Winfrey and said:
“Oh my gosh! I just realized something… you’re not white! We can’t date anymore. Dang! Too bad, I was starting to really like you, Opera…” “Um, John, it’s Oprah. Not Opera.”
“That’s right. I’m sorry Opie.”
“Goodbye John.”

Iron Man on Blu-Ray at Amazon [Deals]
You can get Iron Man on Blu-Ray at Amazon for only $16.99. That’s for the Ultimate Two-Disc Edition with BD-Live, which I think means the actors will actually come to your living room and do a dramatic reading of the film.
Or it has something to do with the Internet. Who knows.
Either way, it’s a great movie, and if you haven’t seen it, you need to check it out before Iron Man 2 comes out. And if you have seen it, don’t you want to see it again? Or maybe that’s just me. Nah, it’s not just me, it’s you too. Trust me.
