Family Guy's Brian Griffin is Dead

WARNING: This article contains major spoilers from tonight's all-new episode of Family Guy! If you do not wish to know more about tonight's jaw-dropping twist, leave now before we unleash the evil monkey that lives in our office on you. After more than 11 seasons of laughing along with the Griffin family, we thought we had seen it all on Family Guy—but we were dead wrong. In Sunday night's mind-blowing episode of Seth MacFarlane's animated hit series, audiences were shocked to discover that Brian, the canine companion who has been in each and every episode since the pilot, was hit by a car and died. We're serious, you guys. It gets worse. Earlier in the episode, Stewie dismantled his infamous time machine. Now the pint-size genius cannot get the necessary vital parts to repair it, thus losing the possibility to save his best friend's life. Confession: We have no shame in admitting that a cartoon made us cry tonight. To help make sense of the stunning series changes that took place over a mere 22 minutes, we chatted with executive producer Steve Callaghan to figure out what on earth is going on in Quahog. From the decision that led to Brian's death, to reactions from the cast, and the new Sopranos-inspired pup who will be taking Brian's place in the opening credits, read on for all the exclusive details that you won't find anywhere else!

[VIDEO] Latest Boxing Bout Pacman vs Rios

Pacquiao (54-5-2, 38 KO's) will need that hunger to avoid his third-straight defeat in the ring. He lost two bouts in 2012, with the first costing him the WBO Welterweight title in a split-decision loss to Timothy Bradley, and the second ending in a sixth-round knockout by Juan Manuel Marquez which shocked the boxers' biggest fans. That makes tonight an important fight in the career of one of boxing's all-time best fighters.

Then Zheng Chunhui, a famous wood carver, spent over four years creating this masterpiece.

The carving is based on the famous Chinese painting “Along the River During the Qingming Festival.” The original artwork was created over 1,000 years ago.

The piece won the Guinness World Record for the longest wooden carving and measures over 40ft (it is 2.286 meters long, is 3.075 meters tall at it highest point, and is also 2.401 meters wide).

The intricate carvings of daily life in ancient China are so detailed and perfect, they could drop your jaw.

It’s no surprise that this incredible work of art is drawing so much attention. It’s amazing, but not just because it’s so big, but also because it’s so incredibly detailed.

JAMICH: For every 10,000 Youtube Views We Will Donate 1,000php for Yolanda Victims

The 7-minute video posted in popular video uploading site shows the couple singing Hillsong United’s Still as a tribute to victims of the recent storm that ravaged Visayas. But in the end of the video, Jamich relayed “For every 10,000 views of this video we will donate 1,000 pesos to Yolanda victims.” The message angers most of watchers, saying that they shouldn’t use the victims of typhoon just to earn ‘views’.

Here is the description of the said video.  

FYI: Kahit maging 1 billion views pa yung video, hindi kami kikita dito kasi hindi ito naka monetized kasi copyrighted yung song. So wala po kaming kikitain dito kahit singkong duling hehe! ;)

Para sa inyo na nasa mga bahay o computer shop o kung nasan man kayong parte ng mundo na gustong tumulong pero hindi nakatulong, isipin niyo na lang na sa simpleng pag view niyo ng video nakatulong na kayo kahit unti, kahit papano. :)

Sa mga nagbibigay ng opinions sa new video namin, WE RESPECT YOU! We totally understand your point but this is our unique way to help. Isa yun sa mga naisip namin. Actually nung naisip namin yung idea tapos ginawa na namin ung video at natapos i-edit, hindi ko naisip na mapapagisipan ng masama kasi totally wala yung ganung pagiisip sa isip ko. Haha gets? :) Normal kasi yun sa YouTube America yung mga ganitong video.

Pwede mo pagisipan ng masama ang mga benefit concerts, charity events at iba pa. Lahat ng lumalabas sa isip mo ay sayo. Ikaw ang bumuo nun at hindi kami :) Hindi namin kontrolado kung magiisip ka ng masama but we just want you to know that we have a good intention and GOD knows that :)

Hindi naman sa pagmamayabang pero meron po kaming 60M total views on YouTube. I don't think na makakatulong yung sinasabi niyong "popularity" sa 10,000 views. Hindi yun ang habol namin. We have hundreds of thousands of followers. Imagine kung maiinspire namin sila para tumulong, may mangyayari na rin nun kahit papano :)

GOD BLESS EVERYONE!

People might say "Bakit di na lang kayo mag donate agad at kailangan niyo pa gumawa ng gantong video?" Our biggest strength right now is that we're fortunate enough to have a following. The purpose of this video was not only to support Yolanda victims ourselves but to encourage others as well. We could have easily donated the money and not made a video, but we think its a lot more important to get support from all over the world. We can't donate a million pesos, but if millions of people watch this and decide to chip in, it is possible... We're just trying to help in the best way that we can. Thank you and God bless!

ANDERSON COOPER APPOINTED U.S. AMBASSADOR TO THE PHILIPPINES

Washington, D.C. – President Barack Obama has nominated CNN’s Anderson Cooper to be the next U.S. ambassador to the Philippines. The White House announcement on the nomination came on the heels of Cooper’s live reporting on the aftermath of super typhoon Haiyan which has devastated many cities and towns in Central Philippines. He is the host of the popular CNN news program, AC 360. His reports from Tacloban, the worst-hit among the cities in the province of Leyte, gained both praise and criticism. Many Filipinos, including expatriates from all over the world, have praised Cooper’s early coverage of the devastation in Tacloban and the Philippine government’s rescue and relief efforts which he described as lacking in coordination and clear strategy. On the other hand, Cooper earned the ire of Philippine President Noynoy Aquino who asked for “greater accuracy” in reporting on his government’s relief efforts and to focus on the strong spirit of the Filipino people in facing this calamity. Cooper responded on his news program that accuracy has been his hallmark as a journalist and that his reporting had always pointed to the enormous strength and fighting spirit of the Filipino people. A Filipino news anchor, Korina Sanchez, speaking from her air-conditioned broadcast studio in Manila, also criticized Cooper for his reporting on the government’s less than stellar response to the needs of Haiyan survivors. Sanchez said Cooper did not know what he was talking about. Cooper then challenged Sanchez to do her own reporting at “ground zero” in Tacloban. Sanchez is the wife of Interior and Local Government Secretary Mar Roxas who is supposed to lead government relief and rescue operations.
In nominating Cooper, Obama said that the CNN journalist is fully qualified for the job and brings with him extensive knowledge and experience with political, social and other issues plaguing foreign governments, including the Philippines. Obama said that Cooper has also proven himself to be fearless, independent, and sensitive to the interest and needs of both the U.S. and its long-time ally the Philippines. There seems to be bipartisan support in the Senate for Cooper’s nomination. That in itself is a rarity in America.

Peque Gallaga’s Thoughts on the Recent Disaster

Not since Marcos have we as a people been so polarized. As far as our hearts and minds are concerned it’s like we’re in the edge of a civil war. We are forced to take a hard look at ourselves and what we value.

Because of this, we are fighting friends in coffee houses, on the telephone, and on Facebook. We are a people whose lives have been upended. We don’t know what to do to get things done right and right away. We lash out. We insult our leaders trying to get them to do a lot more than to pose for photo ops – of giving out relief goods on a one-by-one basis. We cry desperately for demonstrable government response – we get almost next to nothing. It is increasingly apparent that local media goes hand in hand with self-servicing Malacañang press releases which are more concerned with their showbiz image than confronting, accepting and dealing with the problem. What our leaders tell us is contradicted by the reports from international commentators who are understandably more objective and growing less dispassionate as they witness the horrors around them. What our leaders tell us is also contradicted by the victims in these areas who are slowly able to give us the true picture of the realities of the situation. And the reality is that people are starving. The dead still lie on the streets even five days after the event. There are anguished souls scavenging for whatever they can to survive, as well as professional looters ambushing the helpless and relief caravans. It’s a war zone out there.

This disaster has affected, not only the islands in the path of Yolanda, but all of us as a nation. We have all been judged and found wanting. But more worrisome, is that we take a long hard look at our leaders and we judge and we find them wanting. It is worrisome because we have chosen them and are paying them to serve the needs of our nation and it seems that they can’t deliver. I don’t think that anybody, even the most criminal politician, can be that hard-hearted and close his eyes to this calamity so I can only surmise that they don’t know what to do. That they are impotent and incompetent. I am 70 years old and I don’t know what to do, but then again, I didn’t run for office promising the voters that I would take care of national concerns.

I am a private citizen and like most of my fellow citizens, have given of what I have to the relief effort. I have given to the point of hurting. I am 70 years old and have been stupid a lot of times for seven decades. I want to think that I can be a little less stupid now. This time, I want to make sure that my hard-earned money will reach its intended goal. I am sick and tired of throwing away my money; of making our politicians wealthy because of my unconcern and my inattention. I am sick and tired of my stupidity.


So I very much care now where all this help is going. I read Marvin Xanth Geronimo who was there when Yolanda struck: that TV personalities and politicians like Mar Roxas and Ted Failon going to Tacloban for the photo op. They never helped; endless tracking video shots of flattened towns with people walking clutching a plastic bottle of water with no government presence whatsoever; Korina Sanchez calling Anderson Cooper “misinformed”. Cooper was in Tacloban. Korina was not; the US landing 5 planes full of goods and not allowing any politicians to touch any of it. How much more do we need for us to realize that the enemy was not Yolanda? Yolanda was just a force of nature. The enemy is our leaders. And the leader of our leaders is the President.

So what now? There’s nothing I can actually do. I can only rage, rage against the dying of common decency. I can only rage against this man who claimed in a Christiane Amanpour interview that he couldn’t get to the disaster areas because the weather after the storm left didn’t permit him to fly. This is 24 hours after the sun was shining all over the Philippines by then. I can only rage against a man who made light of the tragedy, refusing to identify it as a major disaster; who made light of a victim of looting who was shot at by telling him, “But you did not die, right?” I rage against a man who continually blames the LGU’s on the ground for their incompetence and their inefficiency because it is beginning to dawn on me that these Visayan LGU’s happen to be Romualdez people and this man is playing politics with people’s lives.

This is a crime. What this man does is unconscionable. I can only state it here. I can do nothing about it for now. I will wait for whatever movement develops after this fiasco and I will join it. But for now, what I can do is to declare that I am deeply offended by the people who try to stop me and others from stating the obvious. All those people who charge us for criticizing, for being negative, for Aquino bashing – I am done with these people. In a very Yellow Army way, they try to hide behind an illogical argument that we cannot help if we criticize. I don’t know how good these friends are at multi-tasking, but one does not cancel out the other. We can help and we can criticize. And at this point I am convinced that we do help when we criticize; if at one point we can, as Hamlet says, “catch the conscience of the king.” But I know that this is futile. This man is no king. He is not even a real representative. What can you expect from someone who never worked an honest day in his life. What could he possibly relate to?

So my friends who accuse me of Aquino bashing: I want you to know that I’m done with your line of thinking. Either you defend this man or you defend the people that this man is ignoring. Don’t believe that the people are his “boss”. This was a piece of advertising sound byte created by showbiz experts to get the unthinking masses out there to swallow this uniquely unqualified man. This man who is totally unprepared for the most difficult job in the country. So my friends, as far as I’m concerned, you choose him or you choose the people. But if you instruct me again to stop bashing this man I am unfriending you. I will unfriend you in Facebook, on Twitter, on Instagram, and out in our leaderless streets.
