Bravo to these guys! This is one of the funniest videos I’ve seen on the Intertubes in quite a while.

A person at Taco Bell in Delaware County. It must be something in the meat...

This is a kick-off to a new collection of photos that we are building. It is for the type of pics that make you stop and wonder just what the hell you’re looking at.

For example, this individual doesn’t only color coordinate like the Gem Sweater lady, but we watched as she completely disassembled her entire order on the counter, applied sauces and garnish only to wrap it all back up and take it to go.

And they say we are alone in the universe…

So from Philly to the counties and all the way to Jersey, let us see what makes your jaw drop around where you stay.

Join up with an account or send your pics to phillyis@phillyisfunny.com with your freak on.

Fumo jokes and screams "AAHHHHH!!! GET ME THE FUCK OUT OF HERE!!"

Vince Fumo describes his transition into prison life as “going as well as expected” and “full of new challenges”.

As the days slowly drain by, the once powerful State Senator likes to spend his time reading, drawing, writing letters and scheming ways to escape by appeal or tunneling out of his cell.

Fumo also said he has found God and regularlly attends religious services despite his ego getting in the way of acknowledging a higher power.

“My relationship with God is complicated, necessary and probably very temporary,” Vince added.

Mayor Nutter, as captured by a readers iPhone today, is gettin' the hell out of dodge.

Mayor Michael Nutter was seen early today outside of City Hall trying to make a quick get-a-way and hitchhike to Cincinnati.

Faithful PhillyIsFunny.com reader Rod Ehnerhole snapped a quick shot with his iPhone. Thank you Rod!

When people in Cincinati heard about they Mayors plan, they immediately posed police on bridges, in bus stations and commuter trains to ship him back.

As far as I’m concerned, Ed Rendell needs to get his skinny ass back here so he can fix this mess and gain 20 courtesy of Tony Lukes. Cincinnati could probably use the Nutter-phucker.

I swear this bird heard all this at the Convention Center expansion construction site…

Mayor Nutter in his special mayoral space suit makes the announcement for a new moon tax.

In a surprise historic event, Mayor Michael Nutter announces a new tax on moon gazing. And to prove just how serious he is, he actually went there to make the announcement.

“This is a historic day for Philadelphia, all of America and indeed the world,” Mayor Nutter said. “I am the first black Mayor to visit the moon to talk about a great way for Philadelphians to not cut programs in their neighborhoods by paying $7.50 every time there is a night where the moon is shining and is more than half full.”

Instead of collecting the millions owed to the city by businesses, private residents and illegal immigrants, the city has decided to continue to tax the people who do the right thing by implementing a trash collection fee. The good news is we wont be taxed on all the trash that covers our streets. The even better news is the city is rolling out a Recycling Rewards program to help offset the impending $300 cost of trash collection.

Maybe it will be $1.22 off a 2 liter of soda, maybe its will be reduced admissions to area attractions, but coupons will be king. Mayor Nutser says citizens could earn enough coupons (they are calling them rewards) to offset the annual trash fee. The city will be placing a sticker on your recyclable bin, which will be scanned each week, and your rewards will be based off of your “recycling performance”. Think it sucks being stuck behind a trash truck now? Wait until they have to scan every bucket before they empty it!

The city made about $375,000 from recycling last year with a 12% participation rate. The city gets $5 per ton. At any rate, with the new program, the city could be pulling in several hundred thousand, and private residents will get a coupon for a free ice cream cone?

Not too worried about our waistlines there now are we ?

Now This is Exactly Why Philly is Funny. This Lady is Great.

Woman 1 – Mayor Nutter 0.

Philadelphia man John Crackel destroys his neighborhood but not using a ladder safely while cleaning his gutters.

Mayor Nutter wants to tax all sweetened drinks sold in the city, 2 cents an ounce. This move is unprecedented and borderline genius. We haven’t seen something so creative since Mayor Street made the boy scouts admit gay scout leaders or pay market rent in their city owned building.
Although taxing sweetened drinks is brilliant, I was thinking about ten other things that would have been better to tax.

1. Flash mobs. We can levy a per participant tax, or simply tax the entire group based on size. Getting punched in the face or having your business ransacked might be a little easier if we all know they are paying to play. $5 per participant, $100 for groups up to 25.
2. Shooting tax. No more going around shooting up the neighborhood without paying the price. Yes that’s right, you shoot up your hood, youre going to pay us by the bullet. Keep using those automatic weapons, because when those guns are ringing so are our registers. 25¢ a bullet.
3. Speaking tax. This is kind of impeding upon our constitutional rights, but hey, we need the money. And anyway, we all have those people in our lives who don’t shut the hell up. Maybe this will do the trick. 1¢ a word.
4. McDonalds. Big Mac = Big tax. 1¢ a calorie on everything across the board. Mickey D’s will go from turning us into fat cows, to becoming a cash cow.
5. Homeless. They’ve been reaping our spare change without being taxed for too long. 25 % of all earnings in exchange for sidewalk rental.
6. Walking tax. This would will get a little tricky because everyone who enters the city limits will have to wear a GPS enabled pedometer. $1 per mile.
7. Blue jeans tax. It will be like purchasing a dress down day. $1 everytime you want to wear blue jeans. We can also use sweat pants here.
8. Obesity tax. Every other city block will have a scale installed which would be monitored by a weight specialist (job creation!). Your will be charged $1 for every pound you are over weight. You can only be charged once a month to give you time to get in shape.
9. Gentlemans Club tax. 50¢ per boobie seen. $1 per boobie that makes contact.
10. Voting tax. We will now see who your voted for, and you will be charged 50¢ for a successful vote, and $1 for voting for a loser.

There it is. Lets vote on that and ride these taxes until we become the next El Dorado.
