This Should Be Interesting…
Let’s see. I went to three different schools in order to complete one program (which equates to 13 semesters while working full time and part time simultaneously most of the time), took classes at the local art museum, spent over two years (and counting) in an internship, held several freelancing gigs, and I am not experienced enough for a job as a junior copywriter. Lady Gaga on the other hand drops out of college to pursue a music career, hits it big, and is made Creative Director of Polaroid. I know, I know, it’s hardly comparable. But at the same time, it is. Maybe that’s because I’m equally jealous and bitter.
Learn English While Sweating!
Wow. A coworker just sent around these lovely “learn English” videos. The concept is actually pretty great; learn a foreign language while getting in shape. But the content? I’ll let you judge for yourself.
Give Me All Your Money… And Fries
The manager of a Sonic in Missouri staged a robbery during the peak lunch hour in an attempt to train his staffers. That sounds like something that would only happen on The Office. I wonder if Michael Scott is the manager here?
Jersey Shore
This is horrible. Absolutely horrible. MTV has been horrible for years though, so it’s not at all surprising.
Dog Wins Most Write-Ins in Iowa Election
I’m sitting here snacking on my “lunch” of oyster crackers, browsing the latest news websites, when I read “Fugitive Dog Wins Most Write-Ins in Iowa Election.” I think I choked a little from laughing so hard with a mouth full of crackers! A DOG, on death row no less, wins the most write-ins for city council in Sioux City! Apparently Jake was the dog of a councilman, who was to be euthanized after biting a neighbor. But someone kidnapped him before he could be put down. A local magazine began a “Vote Jake” campaign which resulted in 62 people writing “Jake,” “Jake the Dog,” or “Jake Rochester” on their ballots. One person wrote “Jake’s kidnapper.” Haha am I the only one who finds this hilarious? Perhaps this is something for local politicians to think about. People are choosing to write in a dog over any of the running candidates!
Poor Jake though. I hope he’s happy and successfully fleeing death!
Halloween: an excuse for bitches to dress slutty
And we do mean bitches! All year, your beloved pup has been looking for the perfect excuse to really let loose and get a bit crazy dressed as a naughty schoolgirl. But perhaps your dog would rather be a cheearleader?
Seriously? Was it entirely necessary for the dog to be in a “come hither” position?
If you’re in the market for a new car
And you thought the new Smart Cars looked funny.
These “Cupcake Cars” made their debut at burning man (of course, where else?) from the mind of a Bay Area artist named Lisa Pongrace. These cars, if I dare even call them that, are made of a “24-volt electric motor, a heavy-duty battery, sheet metal, wire, fabric, wood…and mad genius” as described on NeimanMarcus.com. And all of this for only $25,000! You can even “pimp your ride” with your favorite topping!
I wonder what would happen if two cupcake cars crashed. A sugary explosion of flavor, joy and sprinkles? No, really though, who in their right mind…
4 Inch Waist
Oh. No. How can anyone think that this extent of photo-retouching looks good? Model Filippa Hamilton is currently in the midst of this controversy, since bloggers over at BoingBoing posted a Ralph Lauren ad with the comment “Dude, her head’s bigger than her pelvis.” It’s true though. Why would anyone working at Ralph Lauren even approve this image? It’s terrible!
I applaud the German magazine Brigitte for banning professional models from its pages, beginning this January. They were sick of using Photoshop to fatten up anorexic models. I just hope this is the beginning of a worldwide change. Super thin girls with their bones sticking out is NOT attractive. And every time I see one of those girls wearing an awesome outfit, I can’t even imagine how horrible it would look on my 5′2″ frame, so I’m no longer attracted to the outfit either. But the fashion world is a strange place. Stick thin will always be in, I’m sure.
