In case you don’t have friends on the East Coast who have been complaining this week, it’s hot as hell. Sure, it hasn’t topped 100 degrees Fahrenheit or anything, but with the humidity it’s actually feeling more like 110, which, as you can imagine, is bad. Think of the temperature and atmosphere of your crotch right now, and turn it up twice as high. That’s what it feels like. And that’s why I’m glad I’ll be on vacation next week, and going someplace cooler, to boot. If your city was busy filing for bankruptcy protection this week, odds are you missed it.
Publicity stunt succeeds
Rolling Stone magazine caused a ruckus this week by putting Boston Marathon bombing suspect Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of its August issue. Some said the cover glamorized the suspected terrorist, and was an insult to the victims’ families. A Massachusetts State Police sergeant even released photos of Tsarnaev’s arrest to Boston Magazine. In England, they’re just wondering when some lady will have her baby.
The Family Simpsons
It was announced this week that there will be a crossover between Fox shows Family Guy and The Simpsons. Many viewers are hailing the news, saying that the two shows are a perfect fit. After all, both shows focus on the stupidity of the father, both families have three kids (one is a baby) and both shows have been on for far too long.
She’s the Tiger Woods of skiing
Olympic skier Lindsey Vonn opened up this week about her life, including her injury earlier this year, and, of course, her boyfriend, Tiger Woods. Vonn said that she is happy with her relationship with Woods, and that she doesn’t plan to ever get married. Which is exactly what the crazy ones who want to get married always say.
