So I've been sitting here for a little bit, trying to figure out what I could possibly blog about today. Usually I look to the news (CNN.com, FOX.com, Google News, etc.) for inspiration. But alas, the only thing that is striking me is that pretty much EVERYTHING is weird news today.
Take for example, the current front page of CNN.com (as pictured above). When I arrived and scrolled down to the "Don't Miss" section, I found the following: a story detailing "What those Dreams Really Mean" (translation: why it's a bad idea to eat 3 Chalupas and drink a large milkshake right before bed), a story quoting Bret Michaels statement that he's "lucky to be alive" (side bar: No shit he's lucky to be alive. And I'm not talking about the recent bleeding from his brain stem. Bless his heart, he seems to be a good guy but what with having diabetes and partying like the rock star he is, I'm amazed he's lasted this long!), and a headline reading, "New Dating Site for Apple Lovers" (which means that there really IS some truth to that "I'm a Mac," "I'm a PC" nonsense after all).
But I think my favorite WTF news headline is for a video, which I refuse to watch, entitled, "Fans toss panties, bras, at rapper Drake."
I will repeat that.
"Fans toss panties, bras, at rapper Drake."
I realize that the big news about the Times Square Would-be-Bomber and the tragedy in Tennessee get the top billing (as they should), but usually the section right below contains ACTUAL news. Not just silly filler. There's other crap in there that makes me shake my head.
Honestly, after seeing that crap, I think I'm spent. My brain now hurts. I have brain freeze without the benefit of having enjoyed a delightfully cold beverage and/or snack. How could the editorial staff at CNN.com say, "By God, we have to run the bit about the ladies throwing their undergarments at that rapper!" Bastards.
