BREAKING: Massive Fire At Universal Studios

universal-studio.jpg According to the Associated Press, a massive blaze ignited around 5:15am [PST] this morning at the Universal Studios New York sound stage in Los Angeles, CA, and has spread from there. The flames have already burned one building to the ground and “as many as three blocks of movie facades were destroyed. No one is reported to have been injured in the blaze.

From the article:

…Though the fire was contained, it was still raging, [Los Angeles County fire Inspector Daryl] Jacobs said.

“The facades are constructed of heavy timber and they tend to burn quite freely,” he said.

The blaze broke out just before dawn on a sound stage, fire Capt. Frank Reynoso said. A thick column of smoke rose thousands of feet into the air as firefighting helicopters swept in to drop water.

More than 100 firefighters were working to ensure the flames didn’t spread to nearby brush, Reynoso said.

Filming might have been going on at the time the fire broke out and there was at least one explosion, Reynoso said.

That’s a hell of thing to wake up to on a Sunday morning. I could barely walk my dog at 5am, let alone deal with any bullsh*t like that. We’ll keep you updated as new information comes in.

I haven’t quite decided if this MTV/AP poll that was just released is dead on about our generation (or the way 13-24 year olds think in general) or total bullshit. They only polled around 1,300 of us, making the margin percentage error about plus or minus 3%.

There are a bunch of different news articles that are using the survey to make a general consensus of what makes us happy… that are parents do and that money does not. But, after reading through the WHOLE thing, this is what I found most interesting:

Drinking makes us very happy, somewhat happy and neither happy nor unhappy…which means, we like to drink! (SURPRISE!)

Sports, sex and religion make us happy! So do our parents! Read More »
