I’ve seen this so many times in NYC now that I can’t believe people still fall for it. ‘Celebrities’ just wandering through the heart of Times Square. Cause if I were a celebrity that’s exactly where I would want to be! And Spiderman?! Have these people even seen Spiderman?? If anything I’m thinking he looks more like a downy version of Seth McFarlane.
EliteDaily: In what seemed like a good idea at the time, the owners of Instagram took 23 million shares of Facebook valued at $700 million as part of their $1 billion acquisition. This has certainly backfired, as the shares, then valued around $30/share, are now hovering around the $20 mark. This means the owners have lost approximately $300 million on the stock. Ouch. Founders Kevin Systrom and Mike Krieger are far from hurting, as they also took $300 million in cash in the deal. The deal went down in April, and Facebook released its IPO on May 18th, when the stock was valued at $38/share. The shares reached $42/share on the day of the IPO, which had the deal valued at $1.266 billion at that point, but the shares finished flat and have declined ever since.
As Facebook stock continues to plummet, it looks like people are jumping ship. This week, Facebook Board of Directors, Peter Thiel, sold off $400 million worth of his stock. Then, Facebook co-founder Dustin Moskovitz sold off $9 million of his shares. THEN, we found out that the Instagram founders who invested in Facebook have lost $400 million already in their stock. I know they still have $300 million in cash but $300 million just isn’t the same as $1 billion. Isn’t this the point where guys start jumping off the roof of their penthouse suites or swallowing the end of a shotgun?
Here’s what I recommend for anyone still interested in buying Facebook stock. You pay me money, I’ll slap you in the face, you go home and call it a day!
There’s just something about black people telling an eyewitness account to the news that makes the story 100X more interesting and compelling. First we had Antoine Dodson give his account of an attempted rape that had every white kid wearing a wife beater and red bandana that following Halloween. Then came along Sweet Brown who told us ‘she ain’t got time’ for an apartment fire.
Now introducing Margaret Jackson. Giving out reenactments like an Emmy is on the line. Well I salute you Ms. Jackson. You may not have gotten that nap but you put every ounce of energy into your story to become today’s internet sensation.
I have all the respect in the world for MMA fighters. Simply out of their fucking minds to take the kinds of beatings they do for a living and at the end of the day, some are just getting by financially. But I mean you HAVE to call it quits when you lose to a dude with one arm, right? I mean, this is what you do for a living and you just went night-night to a guy who has a total disadvantage. I’m not trying to act like I know everything about the sport but when a guy is missing half his left arm, doesn’t that mean he can’t protect that side of his head? Don’t you throw right hooks all day long?
I said it has potential. Clearly not what I want the final product to look like but I like where their heads are at. Get some long range going on this bad boy with heat seeking guidance…throw a hollow tip point on the bottle with scolding hot water and I’d say I’m ready for any water gun fight with a 12 year old.
