I’m Not a Professional Blogger.
But I Did Stay At A Holiday Inn Express Last Night
A pit bull named Booger… Cloned puppies… Mormon missionary sex slave… Miss Wyoming USA… Really bad fake identity…
I don’t even begin to know where to start with this one. Go ahead and read it for yourself. At least she’s now admitting it (she originally said it wasn’t, and threatened to sue anyone who published that it was).
Somehow, it made the ‘Entertainment News’ section on Yahoo–Paris Hilton memorized her lines for the spoof ad that was posted on Funny or Die this week. I’m gonna go ahead and say that the video falls more on the ‘Die’ side than the Funny side. And the fact that her memorizing her lines makes news is almost as dumb as I heard a story on the news today talk about who “produced” the video (or the fact that it was even made).
At least they had the good sense to not pay her for her “work” in the video.
A man in Florida was recently arrested and charged with making false calls to 911–for reporting that a slot machine at the casino took his money.
Sadly, it wasn’t even the stupidist 911 call of the week–even in Florida. One man was earlier cited for calling 911 a total of five times, trying to get the police to settle an argument with his brother.
And probably the crowning moron called 911 to complain that his local Subway left the spicy sauce off his Italian sandwich.
Kids do the darndest things. Sometimes, when they get older, they get stupider, and do things like drink too much. Occassionally, some drink so much that they don’t wake up. It sucks, but it happens. Has been for years. Probably hundreds.
But, not if a bunch of colleges & cities around the US have their way. Because, obviously the cause of this epidemic isn’t kids not knowing when to say when (very possibly a behavior learned at home in their youth in some cases)–the problem is drinking games.
In a 32-square mile chunk of Los Angeles, obesity rates for adults are at 30%, compared to 21% in the rest of the city, and 25.6% in the rest of the country. Their solution to the problem? Well, rather than educate their citizens about healthy living through eating right and exercise, they want to ban any more fast food chains from opening.
That’s right, despite the fact that there are already about 400 fast-food restaurants in the area, they’re going to solve the problem by preventing more from entering. Despite the fact that it is NOT the fast food industry making people fat–it’s morons who repeatedly eat loads of crap when going to fast food joints (and other places), without bothering to do some basic exercise along the way.
But, in today’s United States, we need the government to step in and protect us from our own stupidity. Seriously, did these people ever step back and think maybe this is how humans got to the top of the food chain in the first place, with the strong surviving and the rest falling by the way side?
