So you love the game Battleship, but you’re not looking forward to the movie, because you’re a sensitive, introspective hipster who hates big-budget action flicks?
If you belong to that incredibly specific demographic, this might be for you:
Sadly, it’s not real . . . but someone put together a fake trailer for the “Battleship” movie as if it were directed by WES ANDERSON, the guy behind “Rushmore” and “The Royal Tenenbaums”.
Back in 1992, there was an episode of “The Simpsons” where Homer sued a seafood restaurant after they ran out of fish during an all-you-can-eat special.
Twenty years later, that just came true in real life. On Friday night, a 53-year-old man in Mequon, Wisconsin went to a restaurant that was promising an all-you-can-eat fish fry. (–His name and the restaurant’s name weren’t released.)
The man “only” ate TWELVE pieces of fish before the restaurant told him they’d run out and wouldn’t substitute any other fish. He protested and refused to pay his bill . . . so finally, they gave him EIGHT more pieces. He ate them and paid.
But two days later, he showed up in front of the restaurant with a PICKET SIGN, protesting their LIES about all-you-can-eat fish. They ended up calling the cops . . . he wouldn’t leave, and was arrested for disorderly conduct.

You’ve seen those videos where a parent comes home from being stationed overseas in the military, and surprises their kid, right?
Well, six-year-old Michael Cooney turned the tables on his Marine dad, and made a video that’s even MORE likely to make you cry.
His dad is Staff Sergeant Jeremy Cooney, and when he left for Afghanistan, Michael couldn’t walk . . . because he has cerebral palsy.
But he learned to walk while dad was serving overseas . . . only the family decided not to tell Jeremy until he came home. (–It doesn’t say how long Jeremy was in Afghanistan.)
When the family was reunited at a school gymnasium, Jeremy made his appearance . . . and then Michael walked across the gym to give him a hug.
