Truth and (bleak) consequences edition:
- Consumerism at its worst: Worker dies at Long Island Wal-Mart after being trampled in Black Friday stampede. The sales, however, MUST go on.
- Adult swim: Following Hallowed Nerd Tradition, Michael Phelps Dates Asian Chick. They met while she was his waitress in Vegas. SO MANY things I want to say, and so many things I am restraining myself from saying.
- Whitney and Bobby are back together. This actually makes the previous two stories seem a little less disasterous by comparison.
- Newlywed couple, who are both abstinence teachers, kiss for the first time. Mouth spreay WAS involved.Sex Ed teacher to join them on their honeymoon
- Enough is enough: An eight-year-old US boy accused of murdering his father and a family friend kept a tally of his parents' smackings, vowing that the 1,000th time would be the last.

God loves a cheerful giver.
I love the last commercial...
"He's the only rider to do so many stunts! Mid air summer saults! Wheelies! uh... ride straight..."
should have started with that one Mr. Announcer!
I felt it would fit better at the end to retrieve back a little bit of your soul after it got lost in all the dismal news of today.
"Melody had taken a seven-year vow not to date until June 2007"
She sounds awesome.
By 'Mr. Announcer' I meant the guy speaking in the commercial, not you.
i had the scramble van and stunt cycle..
really nice banners in the commercial. looks like they were written by a 6 year old.
Also, in other Michael Phelps news: God Bless Anderson Cooper.
This is all sad news indeed.
On slightly brighter side, both Cale & eddie seem to fancy Phelps a bit. A rivalry of sorts. While Phelps himself scarcely knows the pair of them asses lives in existence. Mildly amusing, really.
so strange.
michael phelps is a premature ejaculator. i have sworn affidavits.
