To promote the new season of zombie thriller The Walking Dead, which returns (minus executive producer Frank Darabont) for season 2, AMC shills are currently on the Third Street Promenade (near Arizona in front of the Coffee Bean) giving away free red velvet cupcakes.

Either the corn mazes in Massachusetts are a lot more complicated or the residents are a lot less smart. A couple had to call 911 for a rescue after getting lost in the Connors Farm corn maze. "We thought this would be fun. Instead, it's a nightmare," said the unnamed......

By now, we've all probably seen the "Coffee Snobs" video on Funny Or Die with the two bitchy baristas either ignoring customers or ridiculing them for daring to order anything other than a straight coffee. A macchiatto? They don't exist. An iced coffee? Why would they even bother? The contempt......
