Has anyone who's ever been hurt found comfort in the words "They meant well"?
Note to Beyonce: celebrities who demand that no one publish unflattering photos of them only encourage people to take unflattering photos of them.
It's ironic that actress Reese Witherspoon asked the officer arresting her for disorderly conduct "Do you know who I am?" because now, everybody does.
From the Integrity in Media Department: People magazine has named actress Gwyneth Paltrow the world's most beautiful woman, "coincidentally" just in time for the release of Iron Man 3. No offense to Ms. Paltrow, but I personally know dozens of women who I assume weren't on the planet when this decision was made.
Vanilla Ice will be starring in a new "reality" show titled Vanilla Ice Goes Amish, where the one-hit rapper will move into an Amish community. Ironically, his neighbors are, by nature, protected from seeing this show.
The Live Below the Line campaign is encouraging people to live on a daily food budget of $1.50 per day for five days to increase awareness of the 1,400,000,000 people living below the poverty line worldwide. If you're already aware (which you are if you read the previous sentence), wouldn't it be more helpful to donate money to efforts to improve their living conditions?
A woman who went to the bathroom at a zoo in Kansas came face to face with a 250-lb. tiger that had escaped its cage. Reports say that the woman calmly turned around, and left the bathroom to alert zoo workers. I have a feeling that first, she went to the bathroom again.
A New York man who went to the police station to report his I-phone stolen was surprised when he called the number, and police heard it ringing from a holding cell. It turns out that the thief, who'd been arrested on a different burglary charge, had hidden the phone in his rectum. I could make all kinds of jokes about this being an actual booty call, or wanting to know what cell provider gives such powerful coverage, but I just want to remind everyone: if you're going to hide a phone in any bodily orifice, set it to vibrate.
Virgin Airlines has introduced a new text messaging service to encourage passengers to flirt with one another during flights. Remember the days when the only person you had to worry about annoying you was the one in the next seat?
Within one minute of a false tweet about a White House explosion that injured President Obama (the Twitter account for the Associated Press was hacked), the Dow Jones plummeted more than 100 points. This demonstrates the vulnerable side of technology, and the need to temper our reliance on it with common sense.
