Wednesday News Blast!
Don’t worry, we haven’t forgotten about food, I just couldn’t shake a couple of these headlines and thought I’d take a few minutes to share them with those of you who didn’t have today off and therefore didn’t spend the morning on the couch with your laptop…
First, from the BBC:
Sometimes, people are stupid. Sometimes, really, really stupid. Sometimes, that person is a beauty queen. Apparently she went to Guantanamo as part of a goodwill trip to visit troops stationed around the world. Apparently, when she was writing in her blog about it later, she forgot that Guantanamo is a detention center where the US holds suspected terrorists and tortures them without charging them (not that that would make the torture ok), and wrote the following:
Yeah, she really said that. You know, if she’s serious about not wanting to leave, she could always plot or participate in a terrorist attack of some kind. Geesh.
Next, from Chicagoist:
Swarovski crystals on his tank top and everything, and we totally missed it. I don’t know what we were doing yesterday that was more important than sweatin’ to the oldies at Union Station. Dang. Note to self: get on that mailing list! No way we’re going to miss it next time! ;-)
And, finally, from the Chicago Examiner:
A review of the cafe where I work, one of 13 of its kind in Chicago. The review is favorable overall and accurate enough, if not a little over-dramatic (ha, I’m reviewing their review), and most important was the following line:
That’s right, young and hip. Write it down: Shana. Is. Hip.
So that’s really all you need to know about the world for right now. If anything else important ever comes up, you can count on us to let you know. Maybe.
Editor’s note: none of these stories are April Fool’s jokes. Not even the last one.
We already knew you were hip. So, now the whole world (well some readers) know it too. Congrats!
