Thursday, April 19th, 2012Quoth Benstonium: Tyler Tubbs
Monday, April 16th, 2012
Benstonium was asked by the Tribune-Review for a quote regarding “Tornado Boy” Tyler Tubbs. This is what we sent them…
“When I first came across Tyler, I immediately recognized the viral potential of his tornado video. Growing up in Hempfield Township myself, and having years of experience producing viral videos, I knew that the world of viral videos is as unpredictable as a tornado in Hempfield Township. One minute this iPod-weilding storm-chaser was face-to-face with imminent peril, or at least a damaged iPod and a bad hair day, and the next minute he is being swept away to the wonderful world of internet super-stardom.

“Chuck Noll Way” Top Choice For Burgh
Friday, September 30th, 2011
BREAKING NEWS (Pittsburgh) — This morning, the new Chuck Noll Way was unveiled on the Pittsburgh’s North Shore running parallel to Art Rooney Way and Tony Dorsett Drive. This was the city’s top choice for honorary roadway with runners-up including the Santonio Holmes Highway, The Kordell Stewart Bi-Pass [sic], The Roger Goodell Toll Road, and Bungals Drive, which has been astonishingly stopped in all directions leading into Pittsburgh since it was built. The ceremony was delayed as all traffic at the Jeff Reed Intersection was diverted wide left. This is the first honorarily named route since The Polamalu Interchange, a stretch of interstate with a No Passing Zone that leads unsuspecting drivers to it’s inexplicable and often fatal dead-end.
