Maybe Charging Per Megabyte is Wrong

Hello IGWers,
Another kid was charged with one heck of a cell phone bill this month. It looks like the kid wasn’t messing around. He went for the gold and in doing so racked up a nice 22,000 bill. Don’t you think Verizon, AT&T, Sprint or T-Mobile would have the decency to send you text if [...]

Breathalyzer Costume Goes Too Far

Hello IGWers,
This one is pretty funny. You definitely should take your drunkeness or future drunkness into account before looking for a costume. It appears that one man from Ohio took it a bit too far on Halloween. He dressed up like a Breathalizer. However, he got into a car and drove over the limit. He [...]

Lego Reality Show

Hello IGWers,
It turns out that the Lego Corporation is going to have its own reality show. Apparently, this really got Perez Hilton going. Watching people play with legos for an hour may not be the most interesting thing, but it will probably be more interesting to watch then New York Goes to Work. Haha.
To more [...]

Weighing Pumpkins

Hello IGWers:
When did pumpkin weighing become such a huge sport? Does it have any legs during the off-season or does pumpkin weighing only count in October. It seems like it has come out of nowhere to capture at least the news media’s attention. I guess 1600-1700 lb. pumpkins seem to capture the imagination at least [...]

Marge Simpson Playboy?

Hello Innovation Gone Wrong Readers:
Tell me something. How does Marge Simpson end up on the cover of Playboy. I saw this in the news recently.
I didn’t really know what to say. Playboy is a world of hurt financially. Will cartoons drive back the viewers? I guess we have to wait and see. I have great [...]

Italian Hotel Offers 1 cent room

Hello IGWers,
Apparently posting hotel rates is a bit too much for one company. Travelers to one destination are doing it a little bit cheaper than everyone else. There was a glitch on a travel site thus offering people hotel rooms for one cent. Maybe it is just my finance, but one cent is pretty cheap [...]

The Downward Gumball Machine

A while back, I was eating in a Steak and Shake and at the end of the meal I made my way over to the gumball machine. To my chagrin, I put my quarter in the machine and turned it over like I done numerous times before. However, this got me thinking. Do you really [...]

The Fun Size

Hello IGWers,
Hope your 4th of July weekend was great. One of the questions perplexing me this weekend has got me up in arms. The question is simple. How do you determine the fun size? I mean the fun size evaded the Greeks and the Romans, but it has appeared in today’s society and it is [...]
