In 1988 when Bill O’Reilly was about 39 years old, Inside Edition did a special on the Super Mario Brothers for the Nintendo Entertainment System. Enjoy the video, you’ll get a kick out of the hair styles and the call center where they give level tips. Bill O’Reilly still looks like the same disgruntled guy he looks like today. WE’LL DO IT LIVE!
The video also features Howard Phillips who was “Fun Club President” at the time. I wrote about Phillips last month when he joined Chair Entertainment. Phillips is wearing his signature bow tie in the video which was the inspiration behind the Howard & Nester comic.
Twitter has had a crazy day! Over 33 Twitter accounts have been hacked. Many of those belonging to prominent celebrities including Rick Sanchez of CNN, Britney Spears, President elect Barack Obama, and FOX News. This is a separate incident from the phishing scheme that happened over the weekend.
Whoever hacked the accounts has a pretty interesting sense of humor, but is bad at spelling. From the FOX News Twitter account, a message stated “Breaking: Bill O Riley is gay.” I’m sure he meant Bill O’Reilly, host of FOX’s The O’Reilly Factor. Britney Spears’ Twitter account had a more explicit message: “HI Yall! Brit Brit here, just wanted to update you all on the size of my *bleep.* Its about 4 feet wide with razor sharp teeth.” Rick Sanchez’s Twitter stated “i am high on crack right now might not be coming into work today.” Rick often times refers to his Twitter account on CNN program. On Huffpost’s Twitter account there are a bunch of links to digitalgangster.com.
Twitter’s internal admin was affected too. According to Biz Stone, founder of Twitter, the hacker got into some of the tools that the support team uses in order to reset passwords. When Twitter’s admins realized this, they took the support tools offline so the hacker couldn’t get any further.
