The concept of developing a man girdle is genius, but we still can’t put our hands on what’s disturbing. Perhaps its the $99  price or the fact that it may just not work out.

Where the hell is Andy Milonakis?

Andy Milonakis was a strange interest for  MTV viewers

Andy Milonakis was a strange interest for MTV viewers

Remember the guy who told us that he had bees in his head but could not call him a bee head? Or the bologna in his left pocket? I remember back in my high school days I found myself watching the mildly retarded antics of “The Andy Milonakis Show”. Safe enough to say, at that time, it was a hilarious show. The man who looked like a a young boy made viewers tune in to his adventures mostly filmed in his New York apartment. The show’s skits looked similar to what we now call YouTube clips. MTV renewed the show for another 2 more seasons but it was nothing memorable.

I was wondering what was going on with Andy nowadays and of course he has a Twitter @AndyMilonakis.
