Have you ever had one of those days when you open up a news site and check the calendar to see if it’s April Fool’s Day? Check these out:
- (CNN) Cartoon Network Promo for Aquateen Hunger Force sparks bomb scare. While I was getting ready for work this morning I saw the footage of this on CNN. I couldn’t believe it when I saw what the hoo-ha was about. Jeers to Cartoon Network for engineering such a stupid promo. The worst part of this was the placement of these silly LEDs (or electronic dangerous-looking thingys to law enforcement) under freeway bridges. (More on Make Blog.)
- Also from CNN.com and the Land of the Absurd, we have this story about a Tampa, Florida rape victim who goes to jail for a 2003 warrant when she went to police to report that she had been raped. Worse yet, these idjuts kept her in jail for two full days and refused to give her a second dose of the morning-after pill to prevent pregnancy, because the jail worker had her own “religious convictions” about contraception. Two morals to this story: 1) Don’t get raped in Florida; and 2) If you are, don’t expect any consideration from the PO-lice down there. Gawd.
- Over on HybridCarBlog.com, a shining example of why the Big 3 Automakers are being buried by Toyota and Prius sales. GM is evidently calling it the “Prius Effect” and confessing that they underestimated the ‘image value’ of hybrids. News Flash for GM: It’s not “IMAGE VALUE”. Every time we fill our little 9-gallon tank after putting around 500 miles on the Prius we raise our middle finger to the oil companies and folks who are so arrogant they think car buyers will just blindly roll over and wait another 10 years for their hybrid offerings.
Okay, back to your regularly scheduled programming now. I’m sure mine was hijacked by aliens.
