Walgreens Parody – “Gangreens”

Friday Fun: “Gangreens” – A Mad Magazine parody of Walgreens

Haven’t done many “Friday Fun” posts here at Hoboken411 since well – around Hurricane Sandy. So that said – and considering we have chain pharmacy Walgreens here in Hoboken, I figured this “Gangreens” parody would a perfect way to lighten up on the last work day of the week.

I strongly recommend subscribing to Mad Magazine. At just $16 a year – it’s a great way to get some entertainment without electricity or cell signals.

Gangreens Parody of Walgreens in Hoboken NJ Mad Magazine

Gangreens – staffed by “mumbling twenty-somethings”

Mad Magazine chose to mock Walgreens in their “Gangreens” sales circular parody. It was filled with ridiculous products that flood shelves across the country. And some of the products they came with were outright hilarious!

Why do they sell food at pharmacies anyway?

Does anyone wonder why they even sell food at pharmacies? Mad’s take on that situation: “Food… Here? Why Not?” and some fun stuff to eat, like:

  • Frozen Sparrow Thighs for just $24.99 – “100% American-shot meat!”
  • Disney Theme Park Bottled Water for $5.99 – “100% authentic water from the Log Flume!” (Gross!)

Hoboken Lepre-Con Harlem Shake

You know you’ve seen this: Hoboken Lepre-con Harlem Shake!

Hoboken Lepre-Con Harlem Shake why so popularHoboken411 reader TJ wanted to share this Harlem Shake video that took place during the Hoboken Leprecon “festivities” from this past weekend.

They were enjoying a civil house party downtown at the SkyClub during the “big event,” and luckily the Hoboken Lepre-con 2013 Police Blotter had no complaints that were filed against the shin-dig in that building (from what we heard at least!)

In case you didn’t know – the Harlem Shake is a YouTube phenomenon… inspiring thousands of “knock-off” videos that try to imitate the original (I know the feeling…)

The Harlem Shake is a dance move that originated in the early 80′s, but was brought back into the spotlight by musical artist Baauer with his song of the same name last year.

Here for your viewing pleasure is the Hoboken Lepre-Con Harlem Shake video. Your thoughts?

Carlin on “Child Worship”

Bet Hoboken parents don’t find this George Carlin skit funny

A bunch of people have sent me links to the following George Carlin video about parents and “child worship.”

The man spoke the truth about this and a whole lot of other important things in life.

One reader summed it up: “If anything says “Hoboken,” then this is IT!” If only Carlin was alive to see how things have progressed since! It certainly plays into our earlier story about how now kids are chauffeured around Hoboken in luxury SUV’s with plush leather appointments and heated seats.

New dancing lights on ESB

Empire State Building upgrades LED lights – Hoboken enjoys

In case you were looking at the Empire State Building last night around 9pm (and not at your TV), they launched their new upgraded LED brainwashing light display.

Apparently synced with a few radio stations, who played Alicia Keys song “Girl on Fire.”

UPS driver forges ahead during storm

Hoboken UPS driver video in Hurricane Sandy goes viral

Hoboken resident Michael Sober made some top video hits during Hurricane Sandy. First with that great Scenes from hurricane Sandy movie – and also with this great short clip, which has nearly 100k views already:

Hurricane Sandy can’t stop UPS delivery

UPS Driver John Adamowicz has been with UPS since 1990 and has driven the same route in Hoboken, New Jersey for 19 years.”

I think it’s great that he tried delivering as much as he could before it was impossible. Hopefully he didn’t cause too much wake!
