so I decided to liveblog the game myself. But then I figured out that every single media outlet in the UK had already done it.

Though I’m still going to give props:

“Midfielder Alberto Aquilani finally found a performance to justify his £17 million price tag…”

So foin.

Um.

There is nothing clinically skeptical about this whatsoever.



I’ve gotz da cred 2 get ma medz~

The envy is overwhelming.

Might go watch some Anderson Cooper in a black t-shirt to console myself.

It needs to be noted that the Chinese view abortion as standard and no different than any other medical procedure, similar to cutting out the appendix or getting a cavity filled. I’m so sure that someone will read this article and walk away thinking that of course China would have female shortage—of course that’s the consequence of heartless fetus-killing monsters. But tell me how this can’t be, at least in part, explained by a vastly different cultural perspective and pure economic rationality (since boys are more capable of performing hard manual labor than girls in the countryside) rather than a matter of ethics. In return, I will lend you some skeptical yet unassuming ears.

But more importantly—get me while I’m hot, suckahs!

Suicide statistics—trivialize, dehumanize, and CEASE. Please.

Today’s a boom for the obituary industry. (Note to self: resist urge to make “it’s not rocket science” joke.)

Holy mother of god. Journalism at its FINEST. An excerpt for those too lazy to click:

A new study out of NYU Medical Center shows that, given the fat and sugar content of the cookies they sell to an unsuspecting public, the Girl Scouts of America are killing thousands of people every year.

“They look very innocent, even wholesome in their little green sashes and brown skirts,” said Dr. Bentley Worthington, who coordinated the study. “But those little girls are, technically, peddlers of death just as sure as the corner drug dealer is.

“I’m just saying,” he added.

According to some extremely paranoid Chinese internet dwellers, a woman who was killed in Austria immediately following the crashed Air France flight she inadvertently missed may have been involved in espionage and could have been the target of a veiled enemy. Beats our actualizing collegiate lives, yeah?

So stuff like this really does happen in real life.

Guess this secret’s a lot cooler to expose in a relationship than say… admitting you have some kind of venereal disease. (Whoa, Mary Catherine Gallagher flashback.)
