   John Travolta's Oscars incident sparks viral widget to "Travoltify" your name

Among the most memorable moments from the 86th Academy Awards that took place over the weekend, people are going to remember Ellen's celeb-packed selfie that broke Twitter, the real pizza man who came to deliver a couple of pies live on stage, and John Travolta's squinting confused look when he botched reading Idina Menzel's name that came out “Adele Dazeem.”

The funny and clever people from Slate came out with their own widget they called “Travoltify Your Name,” which lets you see what Travolta would have said at the Oscars had your name been on the teleprompter.

Travolta's faux pas seems to be at the moment far more than just an Internet viral, because, if you think about it, there are only two possible reasons why the actor botched reading that name: he's either got problems with his eyesight, or he's dyslexic.

In either case, Travolta should seek help because, in case you didn't know, he happens to be a licensed pilot that can fly Boeing planes with people on board. Anyone who wants Travolta to captain their plane raise their hands. Thought so.

But getting back to the lighter side, go to the page indicated in the link above, enter your name in the widget, and then let us know about your Travoltified name in the comments below. By the way, I'm Darragh Russeem, pleased to meet you!
